NB: An extra meeting was held by councillor’s on 16/10/2018 to discuss this Planning Application (S18/1636) due to the time constraints. Several questions were raised:
The height of the roof is unknown
The existing access would need to be confirmed
Clarification is needed that no trees will be felled (architects drawings appear to show 3 trees prior to the building with only 2 after)
Confirmation that there is to be no lighting.
There was also a concern that the council were not given the full 4 week consultation period and the lack of signage in Little Bytham regarding the proposed planning.
Clerk Inskip wrote to Cllr Wilkins to raise awareness of the issues and then passed this over to Cllr Fraser & Cllr Tye as Clerk Inskip would be away when the deadline expired. Cllr Fraser spoke to the applicant directly clarifying certain points and then wrote to the planners.
Decision notices for S18/0752 and S18/0751 have been sent to all Cllrs by email.
NB: S18/0752 was discussed in the meeting on 03/05/2018 however S18/0751 application details were never received by Little Bytham Parish Council. As there were no objections to S18/0752 it can be inferred that there would have been no objections to the lawful development certification applied for in S18/0751 for an existing structure (in existence for 4 years).
Other Matters:
1. Update on planning S18/1636 (SF)
2. Precept: Needs to be completed by 18th January 2019, therefore Clerk Inskip will look into the details to finalise & discuss at next meeting (EI).

4. Emergency Text Alert System (EI).
5. Mirror required at junction from Witham on the Hill into village?
