5. OUTSIDE BODIES REPORT
ELDC Cllr Taylor reported the following:
• The District Council have paid out from their tax relief fund to residents who were affected by the recent flooding.
Across the governing bodies, investigations are ongoing to determine what could have been done to help to prevent what happened during the storm and flooding.
• Future development could mean that more powers will be given to Parish Councils to deal with daily matters and local issues within their local area instead of by Central Government. Meaning local funds are spent more in their parish.
At 7.23pm it was resolved to move agenda item 7a forward
One planning application has been received which has been circulated to the Planning Forum for the observations – S/186/01611/23 – Forge Barn, Eastville Road, Toynton St Peter.
The Parish Councillor informed Cllr Taylor of their concerns associated with this planning application such as adding an additional entrance, work done on the site that has not followed the original planning application conditions and asked for advice on answering the consultation and his support in putting their views forward.
Cllr Taylor asked that the concerns raised with this application be emailed to him and he would investigate into this before advising on this.
