Potato store extension.

Councillor Mrs LO Barnett the Local Ward Member had a number of concerns about the application.  These revolved around the location of the proposed barn; the storing of potato cases near to The Rectory boundary; early morning vehicles causing disturbance to residents; lorry movements; the unsuitability of the local highway network for heavy vehicles and damage and mud caused to the passing places and road; inadequate signage to the location and the potential hazard of the highway being completely blocked if a heavy vehicle was loading or unloading adjacent to the site, staggering of deliveries, limitation of loading and unloading times and provision of additional passing places. 

The Sub-Committee shared the concerns of the Local Ward Member and Councillor BF Ashton was concerned about the impact of the application on the Area of Great Landscape Value and surprised that the Highways Department were not concerned about the potential highway safety hazards.  It was therefore agreed that the concerns should be investigated further before permission was granted.
