TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT

MILVERTON PARISH COUNCIL PLANNING REPORT

SEPTEMBER 2012

For Comment By the Parish Council

1. 23/12/0022/LB INSTALLATION OF WINDOWS TO THE ROOF OF THE SOUTH ELEVATION, A CONSERVATION WINDOW TO THE WEST ELEVATION, THE REDUCTION OF DOORWAY OPENING TO FORM A WINDOW TO THE WEST ELEVATION, AND BLOCKING OF WINDOW TO THE WEST ELEVATION AT THE STABLES, MILVERTON
   The Parish Council had no comment to make.

2. 23/12/0024/HR NOTIFICATION TO REMOVE AND REINSTATE 40 METRES OF HEDGEROW AT 8 DIFFERENT CROSSING POINTS BETWEEN SPRING GROVE RESERVOIR (MILVERTON PARISH) AND RAMSEY RESERVOIR (LANGFORD BUDVILLE PARISH) 
   The Parish Council had no comment to make.

3. REPLACEMENT OF WINDOWS AND DOORS AND ENLARGEMENT OF WINDOW OPENING TO THE EAST ELEVATION TO FORM A DOORWAY AT PRESTON FARM, PRESTON BOWYER MILVERTON (RETENTION OF WORKS ALREADY UNDERTAKEN) 
   The Parish Council understands that this application refers to the need for consent to stain the window frames as opposed to painting them.
   The Parish Council also understands that TDBC has no view in relation to the colour of the paint merely that it requires paint above woodstain, so for example brown paint would be acceptable.
   The Parish Council supports the application and wishes to express its grave concern that planning legislation is being used inappropriately to control minor matters of a cosmetic nature.
