119/11 Planning.
Cllr G
Roberts declared a prejudicial interest in the item relating to the RNLI due to
being a life boat crew member.�
The facts
were outlined;
This is
not yet an application, but is a proposed application.� The RNLI have made a request to the Penrice
Community Council to donate or sell the land that it owns to the RNLI in order
that an extension can be built on to the boat house.
The land
was originally given to the RNLI by the Penrice Estate in order to build the
Boat House as it is today. The station is running out of space because of
additional lifting equipment required and the area for the crew to change is
cramped or surrounding the Tractor which in an emergency could put the crew at
risk.� The proposed extension will offer
a workshop area and also a changing space. The original plan was to have a
pitched roof on the extension, however there has been an objection to this and
this has now been revised to being a flat roof.
Cllrs
questioned how much land was required?
Approximately
40ft long by approx 10-12ft wide at the moment.
Cllr G
Roberts withdrew from the meeting at this point.
Council
discussed the issue of giving the land for this purpose and in principle there
were no objections.� It was raised that
there should be some public consultation on the matter in case of any
objections and also to ascertain wider views.
Council
decided to send an e mail to Mr. L Grove to request more accurate plans and advising
of the Councils discussions.��
Council
also decided to place notices on the notice boards to advise members of the
public of the request that the Council has received in order to invite
comments, opinions or objections.����������� ����������������������������������������������������������� SC
120/11 The Boundaries of the land adjacent to Shore Cottage.
Report
from Cllrs G Roberts and M Barnett following meeting 7th January
2011
The Chairman reported:� A meeting had been held at the site between
Cllr G Roberts, Cllr M Barnett, J Ellis and Mr. and Mrs. Mumby.� An agreement on the boundaries had been
reached between all parties at this meeting.�
Reference points on the ground were identified to ensure in the future
the boundaries would be known.� A map had
been signed by all parties to show this agreement.� Following this, the Council can now move
forward with the conveyance.
Ms J Ellis offered the fact that the
solicitor had offered a contract that had been accepted.
The Clerk queried the boundary
relating to the right of way for the owners of Serendipity at the top of the
green currently owned by J Ellis and pointed out that the surveyor had remarked
that this was still a grey area.
Cllr M Barnett proposed that when
the money for this is received then it is put back into the budget to
re-instate the cuts made to the donations. This was seconded by Cllr A Glass,
carried unanimously.
121/11 Matters
