8. Other Planning Issues
a. Richards Garage, Broad Street, Wrington: the Clerk reported that she had taken up the issue of a potential Section 106 agreement with the relevant planning officer, but to date had only received a response that he would look into it. She will maintain contact on the issue.
b. Wrington Greens – unauthorised sign on A38: the Clerk confirmed that this had now been reported to the Enforcement team at NSC. Cllr Bigg commented that smaller signs are also appearing in various parts of the village, and the Clerk will draw this to the attention of the Enforcement officer.
c. Satellite dishes: it was noted that at least two satellite dishes had now been installed on the front of buildings in the Conservation Area. It was agreed that the Clerk would take this up with Enforcement.
d. Gatcombe Farm appeal: the Clerk reported that she had been contacted by Mr Edward Drew, who was acting for the appellant in the appeal, and read out an email from him requesting the Parish Council to state exactly what contribution to community facilities they would require, in the event that the Inspector rules that the development can be allowed.
Members felt that there could be some projects such as new play equipment or refurbishment of the Memorial Hall kitchen which would be beneficial, but decided that they did not wish to disclose this. It was decided to reiterate the same comments that were made at the time of the original application.
e. BIA Noise Action Plan: consultation documents had been received, and two members took away copies to study. It was agreed to set up a meeting with airport personnel in late October or early November.
