Location – Land at rear of Scotlands Ash, Reading Road

Application – proposed change of use from agricultural land to orchard, vegetable garden and private equestrian use

Applicant – Mr P Mansbridge

Application Date received 10th June 2011

Parish Council Reply – an extraordinary PC meeting was held on 21st June. The Parish Council objected to this application, raising the following concerns:

• Safety of Access: concern regarding the movement of slow moving vehicles on and off site onto the fast moving traffic on the A417. The existing access would not appear suitable
• Impact on the mature hedgerow, existing trees, wildlife and boundary ménage
• No explanation as to how the animal waste would be dealt
• No explanation as to how the surface water from the equestrian building is to be dealt with.

It was noted that in a previous application (UPT/20551) permitted by the Vale the plan of the site showed a proposed nature area and fruit trees. On the current plan this area is shown as “blank”. We note from a site visit that this area appears to currently be in use as a private garden on agricultural land.

Location – Elms Rise, Chilton Road

Application – Revised vehicular access and driveway

Applicant – Mr & Mrs M Amos

Application Date 24th May 2011

Parish Council Reply – the Parish Council held an extraordinary PC meeting on 21st June. Whilst the PC had no objections to this application, they requested that the technical requirements as agreed with Judy Kelly (Highways and Transport Area Liaison Officer) be enforced given the potential road hazards. In particular the access is close to where vehicles have just entered the village on a downhill road gradient with limited forward visibility due to the natural curve of the road.

Application Date 18th May 2011

Parish Council Reply – an extraordinary meeting of UPC was held on 31st May 2011. The PC had no objections to this application but requested that the Vale take into account the following:

• The extension, due to its dominance on the site, would possibly deprive the neighbouring property (The Old Forge) of some light during the summer months from late afternoon to early evening.
• Special attention should be given to the tree with a TPO in the garden of the Old Forge, which could possibly be affected by the planned works at Brookside.

District Council Decision – The Vale permitted this development (decision dated 7th July 2011) subject to compliance with conditions.

Application Date 15^th April 2011

Parish Council Reply – At its meeting on 4^th May, the Parish Council agreed that the overall concept of improving the property was good.
