- VACANCY FOR A PARISH COUNCILLOR -

Following the recent death of Anthony Kendall, the Parish Council has a vacancy for a Parish Councillor. The Parish Council is looking for suitably qualified and talented local people to fill this vacancy, hopefully, without the need for holding a costly local election. The Parish Council would like to fill the vacancy as quickly as possible by co-opting a new member without the need for going through a lengthy bureaucratic process. Traditionally the Parish Council is non-political, so we can just concentrate on village issues. Our remit, as you can see from the list of services on our website, concentrates on the King George V playing field, the village hall, allotments and local planning issues. We have set up a group of local residents who are working with the local authorities to try and resolve some of our local traffic issues. We also have a very active band of local volunteers working on the Emergency and Resilience matters.

Let’s be honest, you’re not going to change the world by becoming a parish councillor, but you could help in our little piece of it. Your parish council normally meets just 6 evenings a year, and rarely for more than a couple of hours. Do you have skills and knowledge that could help our local community? Or just an interest in village life. lf so, you may be just the type of person we need. Please contact the Chairman (Stephen Haymes) or the Clerk (Andrew Gardiner) on 01243 859141 or by e-mail; [email protected] if you need more information on the co-option process.

Please see the Parish Council’s website for details on how to apply and for the Application Form for completion and submission by the closing date for applications on the 15th April 2020. Interviews for prospective candidates are likely to be held in an evening around the third or fourth week of April 2020.

Dear Editor I would like to ask for some assistance from your readers if I may. As you will probably be aware that we celebrate the 75th anniversary of VE Day on May 8th. To mark the occasion, I am writing an article about village celebrations which took place on the day and over the intervening years. This will hopefully be published in the May edition of Yapton News. If anyone has any memories, anecdotes, photographs or memorabilia of their own or perhaps of their family, they wouldn’t mind sharing with me and your readers I would be very grateful. My aim is to make my article as complete as possible for posterity.

15 LAND TO THE WEST OF NORTH END ROAD YAPTON RESERVED MATTERS APPLICATION FOR 108 NEW HOMES

INTRODUCTION Dandara is currently in the process of preparing two reserved matters applications for residential development on land to the west of North End Road.

The reserved matters applications are being made pursuant to two recent outline planning permissions. The first is the 38 unit scheme with reference:- Y/88/18/OUT granted permission on 26th November 2019 and the second being the 70 unit scheme with reference:- Y/44/17/OUT granted permission 14th December 2018.

THE SITE The site is located to the west of North End Road, comprising paddocks and grazing land for horses and other livestock.

The site is currently accessed via North End Road, but a new bellmouth access will be constructed in accordance with the planning permission. Two Public Rights of Way run through the land (footpaths 329 and 326) and these will be adjusted but retained on site.

The site is bounded by paddock land and Clay’s Farm livery yard to the north; North End Road to the east; further paddock land which benefits from outline planning consent for 56 houses to the south; and agricultural farmland to the west.

THE PROPOSALS The principle of development has been agreed by the outline planning permissions granted across both sites. The main components of the scheme comprise: • A total of 108 new homes providing a mixture of 1, 2, 3 and 4 bedroom properties which includes 4 no. 2 bed bungalows. • 30% (32 units) affordable homes (75% rented and 25% shared ownership) • 26 of the properties to be provided as Lifetime Homes • Off street parking to all properties and garages to all 3 and 4 bedroom properties. • Standalone application for the new access so it can be delivered in a timely fashion, minimising any impact on local roads and the nearby primary school. • Footpath 329 must be upgraded to a 3m wide multi-use footpath and cycle route in accordance with the Section 106 agreement. • Footpath 326 will be diverted through the open space to re-connect into the existing public right of way in the north west corner of

Yapton Rainbows, Brownies and Guides Report by Anna Drynan

The 1st Yapton Rainbows have now finished their Chinese New Year badge and they had great fun tasting Chinese foods using chopsticks and learning to write their names in Chinese. The girls made traditional envelopes to exchange and put chocolate coins in them and played Chinese games as well as making a wish tree to hang all their wishes on. The Rainbows really enjoyed a trip to St. Mary’s Church, Yapton to see their new leader Mollie make her Guiding promise. The girls were very excited and made Mollie a special card to celebrate.
