Elm
Cllrs. mentioned the ‘island’ outside Budgen’s petrol station. PCSO said that she would speak to PC Adam Clarke 2707 regarding this. Drivers are still turning right as they exit onto the B3130, across the traffic, instead of left, around the roundabout and back down the B3130. This has been mentioned to NSC (Paul Smart) who says that NSC have no money to extend the ‘island’ and that Budgen’s should not be approached to do so as they had made many concessions to meet NSC’s requirements at the time of the P/A.
D/Cllr. Cook pointed out that one of the conditions of the P/A was that drivers should not turn right. Small signs had been put up at the exit but were obviously not working.
223 TYNTESFIELD – E-mail had been received from Ruth Gofton stating that, on her Doctor’s advice, she has left the National Trust. Councillors expressed their sadness at the news and wished her well.

ISSUES
a)
MEETING CLOSED 8.04PM.
Mr Poole gave a report regarding the working of the Group stating that they had taken free legal advice from Burgess Salmon and consulted a professional planning consultant.
He had a request from the Group for financial support (£2500). Cllrs. Voted 6 against this request (1 abstention by Cllr. Sage who had declared an interest)
It was agreed to call an Extraordinary meeting when the P/A is rec’d .
Mr Poole handed in a two page presentation for distribution to Cllrs.
MEETING RE-OPENED 8.50PM.
b) REPORTS FROM IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEES

Peterjohn Smyth is rigorously pushing his Working Group.
c) COMMUNITY EMERGENCY PLANS
WRAXALL ~ Cllrs. Delmas & Law

confined to that. Power Cut ~
Scotch Horn, Grove (
d)
Cllr. Ambrose was invited to meet with Chris Blair but told him that he did not wish to speak to him per pre-determination reasons.
Clerk has tried to contact ERHA but James Taylor (Dep. CE) said he was calling on his way back from another appointment, could not comment until after then but would let her know what the situation is.
We have received reports that the car park is very full, after being very empty for a long time. Could it be Airport Parking? Clerk spoke to Enforcement who already knew of the situation.
It may be that the Airport Parking is franchised,
e) FORUM ~ Nailsea TC, Backwell PC, Tickenham PC & W&F PC met 16 July.
Nailsea set out what they would like to do. They would like to be sustainable but could not be without ‘eating up’ surrounding land for factories etc. It was formed as un-sustainable. Those who came in the beginning are now old and there is a need for more senior citizens bungalows.
There was discussion re many items
~ RSS, BIA, Parish Plan,
It was a very useful meeting and arrangements have been made to meet again on October 6th 2009.
f) DRAFT LETTER ~ PC’s TO CONSIDER SENDING TO D/Cllr’s. ~ Yes.
(D/Cllrs had received the letter with their Agenda.)
g) DRAFT LETTER ~ PC’s TO CONSIDER SENDING TO Nigel Ashton & Elfan Ap Rees. This had been sent around to the other Councils in the Forum who would put it to their Councils for approval.
This had been sent round to all W&F Cllrs who were asked if they were in favour of sending it. Voting 7 for.
a-g have already been advised to NSC.
a) APPLICATION 09/P/1027/F – Erection of a two storey and single storey side extension. Extension to rear timber decking for Mr & Mrs Pilley, Cetina, Tower House Lane, Wraxall.
Councillors have spoken to the neighbours who have no objections. They knew about the foundations having to go under their land and have no problems with that.
RECOMMENDATION - Approve.
b) APPLICATION 09/P/1082/LB - Installation of fire break partition and extractor fan with external grill (Retro. revisions to 08/P/1893/LB) for National Trust, Coach House, Tyntesfield
RECOMMODATION - Councillors SUPPORT this additional work to the previously approved application, as it is required to meet current Health & Safety requirements. (The error in the earlier application number 1839 is noted). SUPPORT.
c) APPLICATION 09/P/1094/F - Refurbishment works to existing property including alterations to roof. Erection of single storey side extension and first floor infill extension. Erection of front extension to create new lobby entrance for Mrs Enderby, Ridge House, Horse Race Lane, Wraxall.
There seems to be some discrepancy with names of applicant and agent (2). The proposal, whilst on the same footprint, would increase the floor area by something in the order of 370 sq.m, mainly through the in-fill at first floor level, BUT it does increase the bulk/mass appearance of the house. The removal of the extension labelled 'kennel' would probably compensate for the small single-storey proposed side extension. Although the statement says that the plans approved in 2008, which included a double garage, are not going to be activated we note that there are no garages shown on the 'new' plans. This causes concern that there could be a further P/A adding to the overall built area. We hold several previous P/A's which were rejected, as well as the total rebuild application which was approved, but is not now to be used. However we do not hold any earlier than 2006. Have there been previous extensions which have already added to the volume?
RECOMMENDATION - Support BUT Councillors have
concerns regarding the volume the proposal would add and the fact that it is in
the Green Belt. It is also on view from
d)e)f)g) APPLICATIONS - 09/P/1050/F ~ 09/P/1142/F ~ 09/P/1143/F AND
09/P/1145/LB Re.
Councillors visited the site and spoke to the applicant.
The proposed buildings and hard standings are considered to have a low impact on this large area of Green Belt. The additional employment in a rural area is fully supported.
The only reservation felt was ingress/egress from the site, with Councillors preferring the existing point adjacent to National Trust land on B3130, over the Station Lodge or Belmont Lodge points.
RECOMMENDATION - Support providing highways are content with ingress/egress points.
h) APPLICATIONS 09/P/1129/F & 09/P/1130/LB – Erection of a replacement
glasshouse for Mr D Ord,
RECOMMENDATION – Support if identical to previous P/A.
EXTRA ITEMS
APPLICATION 09/P/1244/LB - Internal alterations to include installation of internal door & panelling to Cross Tree Centre (Revision to 07/P/2318/LB) for PCC All Saints Church, Wraxall; Cross Tree Centre.
RECOMMENDATION - SUPPORT.
APPLICATION 09/P/1298/LB - Conservation and repair of large Gothic Seat & Vases with security fixings and replacement carved tracery panels for National Trust at Tyntesfield.
RECOMMENDATION - SUPPORT.

a) PROPOSED
