6 Reports from Town Council Representatives
a) Transport Representative – Nothing to report
7 For Information
The items for information were noted.
Members raised concern that P19/S1923/LDP for 10 Moats Crescent was similar to other applications on this road, where the original application was for an outbuilding to be used as a workshop, store, garden room and gym but under permitted development, the outbuilding was later converted to a residential dwelling.
It was noted that Councillor Cowell would represent the Town Council at the District’s Planning Committee on Wednesday 3 July to speak against P19/S0095/FUL.
Cllr Dite raised a question with regards to the site beyond the sewage works on Moorend Lane following the closure of David Einig’s business. The NPCO advised that the Town Council were aware of a business that had expressed an interest in stepping in.
The meeting concluded at 7.04pm
