118/2021          Public participation

A resident raised concerns regarding planning application DMPA/2021/1263.  The resident reported he lived next door to the proposed development and confirmed no prior notification has been received from SDDC.  The resident has opposed the planning application due to the extended development overlooking his property and the impact it will have on their enjoyment of their property and is outside of the settlement.  . The resident challenged SDDC regarding the planning about the application and case officer is relying on 2 policies, affordable housing and rural gardens to extend, which does not fit into the area.  Resident asked for the support of the Parish Council to object and for the application to be decided by the planning committee.

 

Cllr Muller reported he is on the planning committee for SDDC, SDDC members cannot comment before it goes to committee.  The Parish Council objection does have some weight.  Cllr Taylor confirmed he would pass the comments made to SDDC and will request the decision be made at a planning committee.

 

The treasurer of Woodville Football club has sent 3 quotes for goal posts to be used at Goseley football pith and has been shared the information with Cllrs.  They have been approached by Derbyshire FA who will help maintain the pitches, they will complete an assessment and funding would be available to help support.  All Cllrs agreed to the treasurer arranging the assessment and sharing.

 

The treasurer confirmed there are no safety concerns regarding the posts and he will arrange with the lengthman to organise a visit to the changing rooms to see if the posts will fit.  Cllr Jenkinson suggested a bid be put into Hartshorne Charities to pay towards the posts and the Parish Council to pay for the goals posts to be put in the ground. Blooming Gardens and Treasurer will look at costings for putting the goals in the ground.  All Cllrs in agreement for the proposal to be completed.
