County & District Councillors’ Reports
In Cllr Marianne Overton absence, her monthly reports had been circulated to all Parish Councillors
District Cllr Mary Green’s monthly report had been circulated prior to the meeting. Mary emphasised that further consultation had commenced on the revised Central Lincs Local Plan.
She also made reference to Planning Ref 21/1426/OUT, being for the construction of 2 dwellings @ Villa Farm, which had recently been approved by the District Council. On reflection, it could be argued that this decision and future implementation made the likelihood of a further rendering plant application on the site far less likely.
Queen’s Jubilee Celebrations
This will be held on Sunday afternoon 5th June outside the Village Hall for Parish residents where drinks and refreshments will be available.
Village Sign
Discussion took place on the state of the sign on the eastern edge of the village, which was in real danger of collapse due to both legs being corroded. Although Richard Fenwick ( Lincs Highways ) had agreed to repair the sign, it was agreed that Breedon Aggregates, The Lost Village and Embyro Angling should be approached concerning possible donations towards new signs for the village..

21/1777/FUL, being the subject of an approved earlier appeal by Cole & Cole for the construction of 2 dwellings on land behind the Village Hall – approved.
21/1426/OUT, as mentioned in District Councillor Mary’s report – approved.
PL/0084/21, Cemex @ Swinderby, being for phasing amendments and the transportation of minerals on site – approved.
