543. Planning
a. Status of current planning applications – An update report on applications previously considered by the parish council had been circulated with the agenda and the content was noted.

b. 21/01310/FUL – 28 Peakirk Road Demolition of garage and outbuilding, erection of 1 1/2 storey chalet bungalow, creation of new vehicular access and alterations to form a new opening on the rear of 28 Peakirk Road – revised site plan. The proposed development is considered by the parish council to be:


• Overdevelopment of the site
• The demolition of a garage to make way for the development is a loss of amenity to the neighbouring property
• The proposed access to the suite is considered to be inadequate
• Parish council wholeheartedly support the neighbours in their legitimate objections to the loss of their privacy and the quiet enjoyment of their living space which would occur if approval were given to the proposed parking spaces at the rear of the development site
• The proposed development is contrary to policies in the adopted Glinton Neighbourhood plan relating to Trees – In this regards it is also noted that some trees have already been removed
• Contrary to the Glinton neighbourhood plan the proposed development is not in keeping with the neighbouring properties in the roof design and ridge height.

c. 21/01328/FUL 3-4 The Green – Replace window pane in order to install an automated prescription dispenser machine and associated surround. We have no objections to make to the proposed works.

e. 21/01425/CTR 18 Rectory Lane – Fell Ash Tree – We noted the information supplied by the tree officer that the application is to remove all dead branches and rubbing or crossing branches NOT to fell the tree as described. We have no objections to the planned works as described in the revised wording.

f. 21/00563/FUL – 37a Lincoln Road – (Revised Plans) – Proposed extension and alterations to existing 9no. bed care home (comprising 10no. bed-spaces) to create 10 single bedrooms; Construction of 1no. detached building comprising 14no. bedrooms, providing 24no. bedrooms in total; proposed hard-surfacing, parking and landscaping alterations. By a majority decision we recognised the need for good quality care homes and SUPPORT the planning application. In doing so we ask the planning authority to address some of the concerns expressed at the meeting by conditions in any approval of the planning application. In particular:
• During construction work all vehicles associated with the development to be accommodated on site and parking on the A15 Lincoln road, or verges, should be banned and the ban strictly enforced.
• Working hours should be restricted to normal working hours Monday to Friday so as to minimise the effect on neighbours.
• A tree management plan, which addresses the concerns of neighbours, including annual maintenance of hedges between the site and neighbouring properties should be a condition of any approval and enforced

g. 21/01513/CTR – Red House 12 Rectory Lane – Pollard Willow tree – We noted that this had already been permitted by the Tree Officer and the officer’s assurances about processing future tree applications.

h. 21/01519/CTR – 24 Lincoln Road – Willow Tree- Pollard to maintain and let more light in – We have no objections to the proposed works

544. Community Matters
a. Road Safety around Glinton schools. Cllrs Spendelow and Randall outlined the situation particularly at the end of the school day and described the scene as sheer bedlam with 100s of students cycling at speed across the Lincoln Road and expressed the view that further accidents will occur unless drastic action is taken to address the issues. A Pelican crossing was a suggested solution and we discussed the possibility of gathering evidence and possibly recording the activities of students and motorists. We noted that we had previously planned a site meeting with Rebecca Presland of the city council in relation to parking around the high street and asked the clerk to re-arrange such a meeting with the suggestion that a suitable highways officer also attend to advise on the Lincoln road crossing.

b. Commonwealth War Grave Commission – we noted that the CWGC had replaced the headstone of Sgt. Nelson Walker in the churchyard

c. Community Centre Working Group – Cllrs. Kirt informed us that the working group had devised a short questionnaire to gauge resident support for work to the existing village hall or a new facility. Further work with the clerk is required to obtain precept figures with the intention of bringing a final draft to the October meeting of parish council.
