Parish Council Comment
The Parish Council support the application for 3 houses, however there are concerns about the development.
- The soakaway from the bio disc draining into the field, which is waterlogged in winter. The excess run off water may acerbate the problem further.
- The percolation test regarding the site was carried out in July, the PC would welcome results of a January, February or March test to ascertain results.
- There are serious concerns about the road adjacent to Tan House Cottages and the proposed application. The road is in poor condition from excess water partly caused by blocked drains and ditches. It is felt that the road needs serious maintenance and renovation with regard to this before extra traffic is introduced on to the road.
