SC 16/09/6 Planning:
Cornwall Council list of Application;
PA16/05407: Mrs S Sleep, Glenmoor Higher Downgate Callington Cornwall PL17 8HL, Retrospective application for two bedroom dwelling on site of previously approved garage/annex. (Application no. PA13/11267 dated 31/1/14 relates). Mr Whitehead attended the meeting is support of this application. He outlined the history of the property. The building was originally an annex but was altered to a standalone property following the illness of Mr A Sleep. The Parish Council supported the previous withdrawn application on condition it was tied to Glenmoor, that the cess pit was an adequate size for the number of people who are likely to live in the property. There followed a discussion about the possibility of putting a S106 to keep it tied to Glenmoor, given the application is for a standalone building. It was proposed by P Barriball and seconded by S Ross that the Parish Council supports this application on condition that there is a S106 that the house when sold is sold to a member of the parish with local need. In addition we would like the cess pit to be inspected to ensure that it is large enough for the possible number of people who live there. In a vote 5 voted for with one abstention.

SC 16/09/7 Items for Report and Discussion
1.Report from Cllr Burden: Clllr Burden has agreed to follow up reported problems on the planning web sites. One was that parish councillors were unable to access the web site. Also comments put onto the web site appear to have been moved from one application to another. The zig-zag issued outside the school is an ongoing problem. Regarding the upkeep of leaisure centres in the county, only one operator is in the frame. There have been difficulties in getting EU grants because of the tortuous system requiring Government vetting. If the grant is not approved by the autumn the grant is unlikely to be approved. Cornwall Council has given £700000 to Duchy College for training. Contaminated land is becoming a big issue as the Environment agency is very strict. The ‘one stop shop’ in Callington consists of 2 computers, and a telephone. There are no helpers which is causing real problems to members of the public if they can’t use the computer. It is not fit for purpose. If anyone has any problems please let Cllr Burden know. A number of very minor roads have been resurfaced recently.
2.Removal of Phone box in Luckett: There are four boxes in the parish due to be decommissioned. There is concern about the loss of the box in Luckett as there is little mobile phone reception and it is on a walking route, the box should be retained for safety. It was proposed by N Cooper and seconded by S Ross that we buy all the boxes.
3.Report on Kyl Cober Parc Land Registration: The clerk is to contact the Land Registry to see who own that land.
4.Request for donation for Luckett Memorial Garden: The clerk presented a policy document for donations from the Parish Council. After some discussion it was proposed by N Cooper and seconded by P Barriball that the document was accepted. The clerk will send out the forms and policy document to interested parties.
SC 16/09/8Highways and Maintenance:
There has been builder’s waste dumped at Coombeshead Lane, Jerico Lane and the layby at Roundhouse. This is commercial waste. The Parish Council needs to find a site for the grit bins. N Cooper will check sites at Trehingsta and J Coombe will investigate sites at Tutwell and Bealsmill. The Millennium stone needs repainting. This will go onto the next agenda. There are potholes at the top of Pounds Lane and the top of the hill to Horsebridge. A pink pig has appeared at the Penill junction. This has been placed there by the YFC to advertise their charitable activities. The gates and styles on footpaths are the Land owner’s responsibility. If they are building new they need permission to do this. They will need to pay Cornwall Council for the plans. If they are replacing an old one they get a 25% discount. The bridle wasy should have been cleared by N Holding.
