Parish News Take Care of Yourselves and One Another, April 2020 with Prayers Belchamp Otten, Belchamp Walter, Bulmer, Belchamp St Our Churches Are Open For You! Though we are unable to hold public services at the moment, please be assured the church is not in lock down. Our buildings will remain open for private prayer and your priests will continue to pray for our communities. In our local churches there will be prayer stations for you to come and pray for those near and far. Within our homes we are encouraged to light a candle at 7.00pm on Sunday evenings as a symbol of prayer and of our faith.

The Coronavirus has found us entering uncharted territory and that in itself brings uncertainty and fear. Hope for us to come through this as an individual, as a family, community, nation and world is what we do have. Hope is our foothold and our anchor in the storms of life. When we have that certain hope within, it is then, I think, that we can offer true kindness to others around us. For more information visit www.countybroadbandfibre.co.uk or call 01376 562002. Through the many distractions, my thoughts turn towards Easter and I wonder about that first Easter. Certainly uncharted territory for those following Jesus. This man was causing quite a stir and unrest. His followers had both hope and faith and even those who doubted still had hope of some sort. They didn’t BULMER VILLAGE HALL know what was ahead but I am sure there would have been fear and uncertainty.

Matters arising from the September PC meeting 1. Belchamp Otten Community Woodland project (Item 2332.1) – Former Councillor Mark Skellett had confirmed that all three landowners approached at Belchamp Otten had declined to take part in this project. The PC were not in a position to purchase land for the project, because of their limited resources and they also noted potential problems with public liability if residents used equipment to prepare and maintain such a site. Although supportive of the idea, the Council therefore concluded that this project could not be taken forward at this time. They wished to record their thanks to Mark Skellett for his work on this project. 2. ECC Salt Bag Partnership for 2020 (Item 2334.3) – Members wished to thank John Clarke for agreeing to store the salt bags at his property.

    Belchamp St Paul and Belchamp Otten Parish Council Mrs D M B SMITH Clerk to the Council Planning Development Manager The Bays, Gages Road, BDC Belchamp St Paul, Causeway House Sudbury, Suffolk Bocking End CO10 7BX Braintree Essex Home: 01787 279288 Mobile: 07773 393513 CM7 9HB Email: [email protected] 2 December 2020 Dear Sirs RE: COMMENTS ON BDC REVISED SCHEME FOR DELEGATION OF PLANNING APPLICATION DECISIONS The Parish Council have studied the proposed BDC Revised Scheme of Delegation for planning applications and would like to respond to the consultation as follows: 1. The right to respond to planning applications is a very important one to both Parish Council's and to the residents that they represent. 2. The proposed revisions maintain the right for Parish Council's to comment on all planning applications. However they will remove the right for a Parish Council to request that certain applications be considered by the full Planning Committee rather than by an individual planning officer. This currently occurs where the local Parish Council views differ from those of the Planning Officer dealing with the application. 3.The removal of the right to request that an application be considered by the Planning Committee applies to the construction of 1-2 dwellings, to Listed Building and Conservation Area applications and applications for extensions and smaller works. In small rural communities most planning applications will fall into this category and to remove this important facility, except where the planning development manager deems the proposals 'significant,' is not acceptable. In a small community even comparatively small developments and changes can have a significant impact much more so than in larger residential areas.
