Planning Application - 18/01090/FULD

22/5/2018

0 Comments

 
The Parish Council has received a planning application for comment for Elton Farm, Weston, Newbury RG20 8JG. The proposal is for conversion of four agricultural buildings to residential use including parking, landscaping and associated works. 
​Full details can be found on the West Berkshire Council website under reference 18/01090/FULD.
Following a site meeting and a public extra ordinary meeting held on the 20th June the Parish Council submitted the following response. 
No Objections on the proviso that the following matters are addressed:
The Parish Council do not object to this application and agree that it is a sympathetic development, using existing footprints and preserving the farm building rather than letting them go in to disrepair. However, we insist the following matters are dealt with and agreed prior to full consent being granted:
 The Parish Council would not wish to see any effluent from any sewage system discharged into the River Lambourn and given the issues with the neighbouring development at Tee Kay Farm, we insist that a sewage solution is agreed in full before any commencement of work. We would like to be kept informed on the solutions the applicant is considering and be part of the consultation process on the final decision.
  1. The Parish Council has serious concerns about increasing the traffic that is using this blind junction of the Elton Lane and Newbury Road. There is currently no clear sight line for cars coming out of Elton Lane, and within 10 yards of the junction cars using the Newbury Road are still legally travelling at 60mph. We wish to see the applicant / highways agree a solution to this problem prior to commencing any development.
  2. Concerns have been raised to the Parish Council about this area being one of the few remaining habitats for the rare Desmoulin’s Whorl Snail. We wish this to be investigated fully and independently to ensure the development is not detrimental to the habitat.
