It is the aim of the Parish Council to seek a high standard of design for all new developments and extensions in the Village.
Item 1: To receive any pre-application representations regarding proposed planning applications
There were no pre-application representations.
Item 2: Current planning applications:
| Location | Proposal | Application No. and link to CBC planning website | Object / Support / Observations | Decision or Recommendation | Comments by Planning Committee |
| 61 Pirie Road West Bergholt CO6 3TA |
Change of materials on planning approval 180654 | 181743 | Support | Decision | The Parish Council has no comment. |
| 87 Albany Road West Bergholt CO6 3LD |
Build new 2-bedroom bungalow | 18141 | Observation | Decision | The Parish Council would draw the attention of the Borough Council to the very small area of garden which would remain should this application be approved.
The Council would also note the appalling street scene drawing, which is not very helpful, conveying no sense of place. Is the intention to keep the 6ft fence in front of the new dwelling? The Parish Council would query whether they would want it there? Also, what is happening to the tree (as seen on Google) currently on the right hand entrance to the newly proposed building? |
| 9 Bradbrook Ctgs Armoury Road West Bergholt CO6 3JW |
Erection of a two-storey dwelling | 181787 | Object | Decision | The Parish Council has objected previously due to the lack of a street scene and one has still not been provided, making the impact of this application hard to gauge.
The parking looks convoluted and could well end up spilling out onto the road. The Council would accede to the Borough’s Planning Department regarding it’s concerns over the cramped site and compromised parking and would reserve judgement until these matters are put right. |
Item 3: To make recommendations to the Parish Council on planning applications:
| Carnac Bourne Road West Bergholt CO6 3EP |
Proposed Single Storey Rear Extension and New Build Double Garage to Replace Existing Single Garage | 181843 | Support | Decision (26/09/18) |
The Parish Council has no comment. |
| Happi Paws Home Boarding, Birds Nest, Whitehouse Lane West Bergholt CO6 3ET |
Proposed extension to form kitchen, utility and shower/wc; replacementgarage. | 181895 | Support | Decision (26/09/18) |
The Parish Council has no comment. |
