Mind you I did have a titter about one snippet repeated to me over the parish council annual litter pick. One member of the parish council packed in early and went home for an hour, to come out again just before the bun fight at the pub, first loading a bin liner in his car full of his own rubbish. That's the thing with a village, your never know who is watching you. I see no mention was made in the parish magazine about the amount of litter collected this year so we don't know if it was a good pick or not.
I see the Langley site owners have to reapply for planning permission, which of course will not be refused, but will give us chance to make sure we get the right type of housing for a village. It is a pity that we don't get the option to insist that the major part is affordable housing but I suppose that won't make as much money for the developers. I thought when it looked like the site was being tarted up it was because they were looking to build but apparently not, they are being leaned on to tidy up the site by Bassetlaw and one would hope, the parish council as well.
One good thing is the fact that the planning permission for 50 Station Road has been kicked out well and truly on a number of issues, all highlighted by residents. Details copied pasted from the Planning website below:
The Council have considered the application
and hereby REFUSE PLANNING PERMISSION for the reasons set out below:
Reasons
1. The Bassetlaw Local Development
Framework contains policy DM4, which states that permission will only be
granted for residential development that is of a high quality design, respects
the character of the area, provides adequate residential amenity for new and
existing residents, and is of no detriment to highway safety. The development, if permitted, would be
contrary to this policy and would conflict with the objectives of the Local
Development Framework.
2. The proposed north facing first floor
window of plot 2 would directly overlook the rear garden of 52 Station Street
resulting in significant loss of privacy for the occupiers of this dwelling. In addition it is considered that the proposed
siting of plot 1 together with its scale and mass would unduly dominate the
aspect and outlook of 52 Station Street.
3. The proposed access is substandard in
terms of its visibility and width. The
use of the access would be a hazard to vehicular traffic, to the detriment of
highway safety.
4. Policy DM8 of the Bassetlaw Local
Development Framework states that the historic environment shall be protected
and enhanced to secure its long term future and that any development that would
be detrimental to the significance of the heritage asset or its setting, will
not be supported. Similar advice is
contained within the National Planning Policy Framework. 50 Station Street has been identified as a
non-designated heritage asset. The
proposal would result in the total demolition and loss of this building,
resulting in significant harm to the significance of the heritage asset. The development, if permitted, would be
contrary to this policy and would conflict with the objectives of the Local
Development Framework and the National Planning Policy Framework.
5. The Bassetlaw Local Development
Framework contains policy DM9, which states that development will be expected
to demonstrate that it would not adversely affect or result in the loss of
protected species. Insufficient evidence
has been submitted with the application to address the above and consequently,
the development, if permitted would be contrary to the objectives of the Local
Development Framework.
6. Policy DM12 of the Core Strategy
Bassetlaw Development Framework states that proposals for new development in
Misterton will only be supported where it is demonstrated to the council's
satisfaction that the proposed development will not exacerbate existing land
drainage and sewerage problems. Insufficient evidence has been submitted with
the application to address the above and consequently, the development, if
permitted would be contrary to the objectives of the Local Development
Framework.
NOTES
1 You are advised that as of 1st
September 2013 the Bassetlaw Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Charging
Schedule came into effect. Whilst the
above application has been refused by the Local Planning Authority you are advised
that CIL applies to all planning permissions granted on or after this
date.
Thus any successful appeal against
this decision may therefore be subject to CIL (depending on the location and
type of development proposed). Full
