- It was noted that SBC Planning Committee had met to consider this application on 24th April 2007. The outcome of this was not yet known.
- SW/05/3755 Letter From SBC re colour of weatherboarding for two storey extension, Dadmans Cottage, Christopher Row, Lynsted
- SBC had written to the Parish Council with regard to the above planning permission which was granted in 2005. A condition had been imposed requiring the external weatherboarding to be painted white in accordance with the views of the Parish Council. The applicant had request that this been reconsidered to match an existing extension.
- The Parish Council agreed to this request. Clerk to notify applicant and SBC.
- E-mail from SBC re information provided with planning consultation letters
- At the previous meeting on 26th March concern had been expressed that the Parish Council had only received a copy of the covering letter when it was consulted on a planning application within Teynham PC and been referred to the website for the drawings. The letter had also advised that the Parish Council would not be notified of decision made. As this was the first time this had happened, Clerk had sought clarification from SBC to clarify policy and received a response.
- Planning applications within the Parish will always be accompanied by a full set of drawings. Applications which are “Close to boundary” will have covering letter only, although SBC had previously also sometimes sent copies of drawings as a “good will gesture”. Copies of decisions always to be sent to Parish Council, though not necessarily to other consultees.
- Letter from Millwood Homes re Parking for St Peter & St Paul's Church - Clerk had received a response from Millwood Homes re provision of parking for patrons of St Peter & St Paul’s church. Letter dated 14th March advised that Millwood Homes had been in touch with Reverend George Baislsey on this matter. The sign for the car park is currently under preparation and they hoped to make a formal presentation shortly.
- TC/07/0025 Apple Tree Removal in Conservation Area, no. 5 London Road (Teynham PC)
- Cllr Baxter had reviewed this but considered that the removal of the tree would not detract significantly from the street scene. As this was a minor issue and within Teynham PC, it was agreed that Parish Council would not make any comment to SBC.
- E-mail from Graham Elvy re SW/07/0153, stable in Homestall Road, Newnham
- It was noted that the Clerk had been contacted in error with respect to the above application which was neither within Lynsted Parish Council nor Close to Boundary.
There being no further business, the meeting closed at 8.35 pm.
