112/16 MINUTES
112/16.1 Having been previously circulated, it was RESOLVED the minutes of the Council Meeting held on 8th June 2016 be approved as a correct record and signed by the Chairman.
PROCEDURAL MATTER
With councillor’s agreement the order of the agenda was varied so the remaining items were considered in the order 6, 4, 5, 13.3, 9.1, 7 onwards.
113/16 POLICE REPORT Inspector Kynman introduced himself and gave his background. He explained that crime in Scarborough town area was generally higher than in our area and this problem would be targeted. Inevitably events in other areas (eg. Seamer horse fair) pulled officers away from their normal area. The increase in housing and population meant an increased need for officers in order to maintain current levels of policing.
At this point (7.15pm) Insp. Kynman left the meeting.
PROCEDURAL MATTER At 7.16pm, Standing Orders were suspended to allow the Public Open Forum.
114/16 PUBLIC OPEN FORUM
114/16.1 Members of public only wished to speak to the planning application on land at Lady Edith’s Drive.
PROCEDURAL MATTER – At 7.17pm, Standing Orders were resumed.
115/16 MATTERS RAISED IN PUBLIC OPEN FORUM None.
116/16 AMENDED PLANNING APPLICATION 16/01346/FL
116/16.1 [Brought forward] Agenda item 13.3
With the Chairman’s permission, members of public spoke to this application. Their objections included the site not yet being zoned for housing, minimal changes to the application withdrawn on 18th March 2016, design & materials being out of keeping with environs, concerns re accuracy of bat survey (done in December when bats hibernating) and impact on water table. Councillors took the public’s comments into consideration during their deliberations. Council took the view the application was an attempt to pre-empt the imminent Examination in Public of the draft Local Plan and agreed to object to the application on the grounds it still contained 3 storey properties (some on highest part of site), the proposed materials did not respect the vernacular of nearby properties and the accuracy of the bat survey was questionable.
At this point (7.36pm) the six members of public left the meeting.
117/16 EMAIL FROM BOROUGH CLLR. INMAN RE. RWCE
117/16.1 [Brought forward] Agenda item 9.1
Received & noted email from V. Inman [circulated with agenda] asking if she could represent this council on the Board of Raincliffe Woods Community Enterprise. Agreed Borough Cllr. Inman thanked for her offer. In April 2015 and again in March 2016 RWCE had been told Council did not wish to have representation on the Board of Directors. Council re-affirmed that decision.
At this point (7.40pm) Borough Cllr. Inman left the meeting.
