59/06        CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

Fete Field – A new completion date is now needed.  The grass has been cut once, and D W Clarke’s have been asked to return to stone pick and reinstate the lane, this they have done.  The stream creates a natural barrier with the fields at the top, and the soakaway should work and be proven in the near future.

Signs were erected to ask residents to be careful when walking their dogs to allow the grass to ‘take’. Concern was expressed regarding cattle getting into the field, this will be acted upon as and when it might occur.

Severn Trent are currently looking into the capacity of the drain to take the water from the fete field pavilion.

By next April/May the charitable trust should have been formed.

Footpaths –The leaflet ‘Reporting Path Problems’ was circulated, which enables problems to be reported to DCC for action.

A young man has approached the Parish Council with a view to carrying out footpath work.

RESOLVED:

That the clerk write and offer the position.

Cemetery Path – again the diocese has held up progress with this project but permissions should be available at the end of the month. Work scheduled for 7 November.

Village Plan – in 1999/2000 the 1st village plan committed the aspirations of the villagers to paper.  This should have been reviewed last year, but was not.  The villagers must be asked again, what they want.  The Chairman wrote a piece about the village plan in The Link, but unfortunately nothing was forthcoming. 

RESOLVED:

That the sub committee (Cllrs Bourne, Gray, Spink and Taylor) meet with a view to putting together a simple questionnaire to all householders

60/06        NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH

Cllr Johnson informed the meeting that 450 leaflets are to go out to all householders showing the aims/objectives of neighbourhood watch.  The leaflets showing interest should be returned to the Post Office. Public Houses are also being contacted regarding returns. Cllr Johnson is to attend a meeting at Ripley later this week where police co-ordinators will be in attendance.  Tansley is still an active neighbourhood watch scheme. 

61/06        PLANNING MATTERS

05/00800/FUL Two storey extension at Brookside Cottage Foxhole Lane Tansley – no objections

Applications for consideration:

Cllr Bourne declared an interest in the following:

05/00813/FUL Change of use to retail nursery and erection of 3 no building at Land off Nottingham Road Tansley – objection on the grounds of unsafe access/egress onto Nottingham Road and this is in the close proximity to an already successful business establishment (Matlock Garden Centre) and there will be increased road safety issues.

05/00814/FUL Erection  of polytunnel for horticultural purposes at Land Off Nottingham Road Tansley – objection as the PC regret the loss of agricultural land on the approach to the village and the loss of visual amenity impact. (Has the land had change of use from agricultural to horticultural?).

The buildings and the development could be outside the footprint of the village and on green belt land.
