(i)DC/08/03006/PLF/WESTES – Full Planning Permission

Erection of domestic wind turbine at Mount Airy Farm, 102 Beverley Road, South Cave for Mr and Mrs May. Cllr Scott proposed that the Parish Council recommend refusal of this application as there is no mention of the grass airfield and that the structure would be within 300m of the glide path, with its subsequent potential threat to public safety; it would be prominent within an area of high landscape value; and that permission here could well set a precedent, seconded Cllr Mrs Barnett, vote: 8 in favour 1 abstention .

(ii)DC/08/02752/PLF/WESTES – Full Planning Permission

Erection of 1 dormer bungalow with integral garage (re-submission of 07/02154/plf) at land south east of 72 Beverley Road, South Cave for Alliance General Property Developments Ltd. Cllr Lenton proposed that the Parish Council strongly recommend refusal of this application as other than changes to the driveway does not constitute sufficient reason to change the initial view of the application, and does not address the reasons raised in objection previously, the Parish Council is also concerned that this application, even though it has already been refused not only by the Local Planning Authority but also by the Planning Inspectorate, has been brought back for consideration without addressing the points of the initial refusal, seconded Cllr Kelly, All in favour.
