Apologies were received and the Minutes of the meeting held on Tuesday, 2 September 2014 were signed as a true record. PLANNING Applications (for comment, support or objection) – the Parish Council had no objection to the following: 14/2244/FUL Franklyns Farm, Beacon, Honiton, EX14 4TT – change of use of land to form domestic curtilage and construction of two storey rear extension (amendments to 13/0184/FUL). 14/2076/FUL Palmerhayes Farm, Honiton, EX14 4TY – construction of raised terrace on west elevation, flue, construction of sewage treatment plant, French doors on annexe building. This amendment concerns a beech tree which has been categorised as a C1 low quality tree which would not normally be considered for retention. However, the owner wishes to retain the tree. The report states “Potential impacts to the beech tree due to development are concrete pads excavated into the ground near it to support a steel framed timber decked terrace. To limit such impacts it is proposed to omit one upright and span the additional gap of 3.6m.” The conclusion is that “the tree is of sufficient vigour to cope with disturbance in close proximity and may be retained for the medium term, forecasted for 20 years.” 14/1718/FUL and 14/1719/LBC Mountstephens Farm, Luppitt, Honiton, EX14 4SU – changes to fenestration and reduction in number of roof lights. Neighbourhood Plan H The Steering Group met on Thursday, 2 October, when the aims and objectives of our Neighbourhood Plan were discussed in detail. As a result of that discussion, Cllr Brake has drawn up draft aims and objectives which have been circulated to the Steering Group for comments. These draft aims and objectives will form the basis of the consultation events to be held on Thursday, 6 November, (4 pm to 8 pm) and Friday, 7 November, (between 11 am and 1 pm to coincide with the Friday market) when everyone in the parish is welcome to come and discuss them. The aims and objectives should reflect the feelings and wishes of the whole parish especially their effect on Luppitt for future generations. 2 HIGHWAYS AND TRAFFIC SWH – Road closures Cllr Tucker was very impressed with the quality of the resurfacing work which had been completed in 3 days despite adverse weather conditions.
