2 Enforcement Cases open. Councillor Swan reported the cutting down of trees oat Saltersley Hall. Councillor Gilks to look into this. Mobberley Riding school. The Parish Council have received a letter requesting that they write to Cheshire East Council asking that the appeal be a public enquiry rather than a written enquiry. Councillor Gilks advised that the Parish Council have already written objecting to the original application and attended the recent planning committee meeting putting forward their views and objections They have again written to the Inspector objecting to the application. The Parish Council are very concerned about the many accusations and potentially slanderous comments made on Facebook about the Plymouth Brethren, Parish Council and members of the Parish Council all of which are unjustified. Consequently, it makes it very difficult for the Parish Council to make an informed decision regarding this matter. If the matter was to be switched to a public enquiry we feel that it would not be in the best interests of either parties. It was unanimously agreed that the Parish Council are happy for the appeal to be left as a written appeal rather than a public enquiry so that the inspector can make an informed decision without any bias or any of the unpleasantness which has caused an unnecessary divide within the village A request has also been received asking for the Parish Council to donate funds towards the cost of funding legal representation against the appeal. Since this request the Parish Council believe that the donations received from objectors have exceeded the amount needed to commission a professional report from a planning consultant. It was noted that although the Parish Council helped support the recent Harman Appeal, that appeal was supported by the majority of the village, whereas this appeal is somewhat divided. Furthermore, the Parish Council headed the appeal for the Harman application. It was agreed that as there is not a unanimous request from the village and that the fight is being headed by a private group and not the Parish Council, no funds should be given towards fighting this appeal. It has been noted on Facebook that there was a conflict of interest with a Parish Councillor (Cllr Norbury) as the Norbury family rent land from the Plymouth Brethren, along with 3 other neighbouring properties. When the decision was made at the planning meeting, Councillor Norbury was not on the Planning Committee and had no comment to make regarding the negative decision towards the application, therefore certainly no conflict of interest occurred. For the avoidance of doubt Councillor Norbury s name is not on any rental agreement. It was further noted that comments had been made regarding the timing of Enforcement issues being raised on Holly House (formerly Shelmerdine), Newton Hall Lane. Mobberley Parish Council reported this issue to the Enforcement Officer following concerns from residents of Mobberley Neighbourhood Plan. There are nearly enough names received from volunteers to start to move this project forward. Councillor Gilks will consult with Councillor Macrae on what is now needed to prepare for the Mobberley Neighbourhood Plan Next Planning Meeting. Monday 20 th November. 9.2 Highways Councillor Booth gave an update on ongoing highways issues Damaged fence at Gt Oak Square. Despite numerous appeal to the resident who caused the damage, no action has been taken. It was agreed that one final letter be sent, recorded delivery indicating that the Parish Council are now seeking legal advice regarding the need for the work to be completed Church Lane Car Park. A letter has been received from Mobberley Primary School indicating that although they agree that the work on the car park on Church Lane is required on a safety issue, they are not in a position to offer any funds towards the cost of the repair. Without funding from users of the land, the work cannot go ahead. ACTION: The clerk to contact Rev Ian Blay to see what St Wilfrid s decision is and also the Village Society Speedwatch. Following the recent training session, there are now 7 more volunteers. Due to this, 2 new speed guns are required. RESOLVED: It was agreed that 2 new speed guns should be purchased at 175 each. Also, Hi-Vis jackets are also required and should be purchased. 9.3 Victory Hall Trust Deed Committee. A meeting is to be held 7 th November further update at the December meeting.
