Decisions of NDDC Planning Committee
No.0992 Springfield Ring St. Remove part of wall. Withdrawn
No.1018 & 1020 25 High St. C of use to Beauty Salon etc. Granted
The Chairman advised that the application for the additional agricultural dwelling at Ryalls Farm had now been approved. He also confirmed that the hedge between the rear boundaries of Pound Close properties and the development adjacent the new Supermarket would be removed. He also advised that he had received a further letter from Mr & Mrs Gibbs with regard to the application for the Flour Silo at Dorset Village Bakery and that he had advised them that because of their objections on the grounds of noise and visual impact the matter would probably go before the full committee. The suggestion of the use of a horizontal silo rather than a vertical one had been noted.
No.1118 27 Park Road. Single storey extension.
It was proposed by J Cowley and seconded by B Alexandre that there be no objections, All agreed.
Further to a matter raised at a previous meeting, the Clerk had confirmed to B Alexandre that it would appear that planning permission had been granted for one mobile home only at the Chicken Farm in Stalbridge Weston. It was agreed to write to the Enforcement Officer to point out that there are now two mobile homes on the site.
Clerk to write
Discuss proposed Youth Shelter
Claire Wynne-Riley the CPS Officer had suggested the provision of a Youth Shelter on the Jarvis Field Play area may well help to alleviate some of the problems caused by young people gathering in various parts of the area during the evening. Unfortunately, Claire was unable to attend the meeting to put forward the case for such a shelter. Councillors expressed their concerns about the project which it would appear would encourage the young people to use the area. The question of costs was also brought up especially bearing in mind that an additional Bus Shelter had been vetoed on the grounds of cost. It was agreed to write to Claire and advise her that the matter would be discussed further but only if she was able to be present to put the case for the Shelter and also to advise on probable costs etc.
