MATTERS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES
Treveague Farm. Letter received from R. B. C. Invitation has been made to the site owners to make an application for planning permission for a permanent building to house a shop and also temporary planning permission for one year to cover the unauthorised shed. Storage of caravans is being investigated. Letter states that there is permission for an unlimited number of caravans/tents in the main field although the owner has offered to limit the number to a maximum of 80. Mr Lobb stated that he believes that there had been a limit on the number.
Former Garage Site. No reply received to the letter sent to R. B. C. in connection with the fact that there had been no 106 agreement on this site due to the error of the planning department. Agreed to contact the planning department again with a view to taking this further possibly via the Ombudsman.
Safer Route to Gorran School. Letter received from the working group set up by various parties in connection with the provision of a safe route to Gorran School. The P. C. considered that many of the points raised therein were complementary to their own decision to seek a solution to the lack of a pathway for a section of Bell Hill. It was agreed in principle to support the objectives of the group subject to further consideration of details in due course.
