The Committee considered in turn nine applications to carry out developments within the Parish and it was RESOLVED: That the following comments be sent to the relevant Planning Authority. 0567 Mrs Audra Barratt 07.01.10 Owlgreave Farm, Combs Road, Chapel-en-le-Frith Retrospective application for the retention of a storage area for purposes of straw bedding, cows and sheep. Members are concerned about the number of retrospective planning applications associated with Owlgreave Farm and have advised that an investigation takes place into the reasons behind the rapidly growing complex of buildings. Members also questioned whether the land was being farmed by the applicant and the need for this building. Members would like to request a site visit. 0750 Mr Scott Moss 13.01.10 Brookfold, Delabrook Farm, The Wash, Chapel-en-le-Frith Retrospective planning application for change of use from existing barn to form dwelling. Members objected to this application as it would set an unfortunate president for other holiday homes within the Borough. The conditions for the original application for a holiday home were clearly set out and stated that the barn be used for no other purpose. Members would also like to submit their comments for the original application for the conversion of the barn. Members strongly objected to this development for several reasons
0007 Mrs Wendy Stoodley 19.01.10 Barn adjacent to Parkfield Lodge, Bankhall Drive, Chapel-en-le-Frith Conversion of barn to form 1 dwelling. Members objected to this application due to the proposed dwelling being situated in the open countryside. The barn is relatively new and not in a state of disrepair, and given the surroundings, Members feel this should continue to be used as a barn. An application for a new dwelling would not be given in this location. 0746 0747 Mr Kevin Shone 22.01.10 Lydgate Farm, Eccles Road, Chapel-en-le-Frith Re-siting of wind turbine. To place turbine further away from building and with better wind speed averages, as advised by consultants Eagle Power Ltd. Members have requested a site visit to assess the visual impact the re-siting of the turbine will have on the landscape, given its close proximity to Eccles Pike and surrounding National Trust land. 0757 Mrs Lucy Wallace 26.01.10 6 Thornbrook Road, Chapel-en-le-Frith Change of use from an A1 shop to an A3 café, and change of shop signage No objection. Members thought this was a sensitive conversion. 0028 Mrs Lucy Wallace 26.01.10 6 Thornbrook Road, Chapel-en-le-Frith Change of use from an A1 shop to an A3 café, and change of shop signage No objection. Members thought this was a sensitive conversion. 0003 Mr Alan Cawthorn 26.01.10 Blythe House Hospice, Chapel-en-le-Frith 1st floor addition and enclosing of courtyard. Councillors Mrs Young and FP Harrison declared a personal, non-prejudicial interest. No objection providing there are no adverse affects to 1 Crossings Meadow. 0027 Mr Darren Kay 26.01.10 37 Manchester Road, Chapel-en-le-Frith Retention of shop front. No objection. The shop front is an improvement to its previous untidy look and no residents have complained about the change in materials or design. Peak Park 0032 Mr Dennis Green 22.01.10 Rookery House Farm, Blackbrook, Chapel-en-le-Frith Proposed agricultural building for the housing of farm machinery to replace the existing dilapidated building. No objection but Members insisted that the roof material be approved green sheeting to blend in with the surrounding areas. 10/294 Appeals HPK/2009/0442, 1 The Meadows, Dove Holes. 10/295 Notifications None 10/296 Conservation Areas Councillor Smith will ask Joanne Brooks if the ‘salon’ for sale on Market Street can be advertised as being eligible for restoration grants in the Estate Agents blurb. 10/297 Public Footpaths After the severe weather conditions, many of the footpaths have been left with an abundance of grit covering them. The section of the Linear Footpath which runs through the field onto Park Road is in need of restoration work as the track had disappeared. 10/298 Correspondence The unacceptable state of the recycling sites in Chapel-en-le-Frith has brought complaints from both Councillors and residents. The sites are overflowing and are an eye-sore. Due to the cancelled bin collections in Chapel due to the weather, residents have also been dumping house-hold waste at these points. A new ‘disaster recovery’ plan needs to be devised to limit the effects felt after such events in the future. High Peak Borough Council have been made aware of the problem and are looking for a solution. The small carpark on Hayfield Road has been inspected by DCC and a report detailing the works to be carried out has been forwarded onto the developer. We will be kept informed of any further developments. 10/299 Any Other Business A date has been requested for a training session on the computerisation of planning applications. Councillor Mrs Young is going to advertise the next training session with Mike Green in the Buxton Advertiser so members of the public can attend. This will take place at the next meeting of the Planning Committee on February 16th at 7.30pm. There being no further business the Chairman declared the meeting closed at 8.40pm CHAIRMAN |

No objection in principal, but Members would prefer the hedge to remain as the location is open countryside. 0708 Mr Anthony O’Riley 17.12.09 6 Spencer Road, Chapel-en-le-Frith Proposed first floor side extension. Members had no objection to an extension in this location, but did not favour a two-storey addition being added onto a dormer bungalow. It is not aesthetically pleasing and members would prefer the development to continue in the dormer style. 0554 Mr Stuart Wilson 22.12.09 Ridge Barn, Ridge Farm, Cowlow Lane, Combs, Chapel-en-le-Frith Conversion of derelict barn building to form new 4bedroom dwelling. Cllr Mrs Young declared an interest. Members were in favour of the conversion as the imaginative design was sensitive to the surrounding area, and the profile of the building has been retained. There is also adequate parking. However, members were concerned about the large number of velex windows being added onto the western side of the building and would like these to be reduced. 0710 Mr P Armett 22.12.09 1 The Meadows, Dove Holes Extension to existing garage No objection as the garage has been reduced in size from the previous application. 0726 Mr M and J Byatte 06.01.10 The Cottage, Owlgreave Farm, Combs Road, Combs Removal of Condition from approved planning application in 1985 No objection, members were sympathetic to the reasons given for the removal of the condition. 0707 Mr M Byatte 06.01.10 The Cottage, Owlgreave Farm, Combs Road, Combs Removal of condition 4 on HPK/2001/0119, to allow the ménage to be used in the evenings and winter months. Members were not unanimous in their decision and there was a split vote, with Chairman having the casting vote. Although members could understand the reasons for the addition of the lights to the ménage and the importance of this to the business, they were extremely concerned about the light pollution this would cause in the open countryside. Members have requested that strict conditions be included to control and limit the time the lights could be used, and that this should be closely monitored. CON/2009/0030 08.12.09 DCC Chapel-en-le-Frith Primary School Warmbrook Road, Chapel-en-le-Frith Erection of new children’s centre and school reception between existing school buildings with glazed link connecting corridor between buildings Councillors Clarey and Smith both declared an interest.

No objection. Peak Park Amended Plans 1007 Mr Daniel Hodgson 08.12.09 Ford House, Ford, Chapel-en-le-Frith Extension of house; partly 2 storey, part single No objection.

Members thought the extension was aesthetically pleasing and would meet family needs. 10/273 Appeals None 10/274 Notifications Permission 0411 10/275 Conservation Areas A complaint has been received from a resident regarding new commercial signs that have been erected onto the gable end of Daily News. Mike Darling will be asked if planning permission is required. The PVC crates have been removed from outside Lomas Distribution.

The Committee considered in turn six applications to carry out developments within the Parish and it was RESOLVED: That the following comments be sent to the relevant Planning Authority. 0590 Mr Malcolm Farrar 05.11.09 Riverside, Tunstead Milton, Whaley Bridge Two storey side extension to form new family room with bedroom over. Internal alterations to relocate kitchen and form new en-suite and dressing room. No objection. The design is well suited to the building and is sited away from immediate neighbours. 0611 Mr Martin Hubbard 05.11.09 Britannia House, 32 Buxton Rd, Dove Holes To remove existing signage and replace with new. No objection. The signs will have no adverse affect on nearby properties. 0622 Mr Pieter Platt 10.11.09 Stirling Facilities Management Ltd 87 Market St, Chapel-en-le-Frith Change of use to B1 No objection. The property has already been used for this purpose for some time with no adverse affects. It is also situated in an area of Chapel that is surrounded with businesses including shops and other offices. 0615 Mr Richard Butterworth 10.11.09 17 Market Place, Chapel-en-le-Frith Change of use from A3 (café) to A5 (takeaway) No objection.

There is public parking nearby at Miry Meadow. 0636 Mrs Amanda Wickham 24.11.09 57 Beresford Ave, Chapel-en-le-Frith Two storey extension and new front porch No objection. The dwelling is set on a large plot of land and the extension would not affect neighbouring properties. Peak Park 1007 Mr Daniel Hodgson 26.11.09 Ford House, Ford, Chapel-en-le-Frith Extension of house; partly 2 storey, part single No objection providing all materials match existing. Members thought the extension was aesthetically pleasing and would meet family needs. 10/266 Appeals None 10/267 Notifications Refused Peak Park 0774, 0775 10/268 Conservation Areas None 10/269 Public Footpaths None 10/270 Correspondence A reply has been received from Monica Gillespie from HPBC regarding the felling of the Birch Tree. The tree was felled due to root decay and a fungus infection. It would be incredibly hard to bring a successful prosecution against the builders who damaged the tree as a direct cause between the building works and the infection would need to be ‘proved beyond reasonable doubt’ as it would be a criminal case. This is not possible as the fungus may have already been present. HPBC have informed the site owner that a replacement tree is required and will persue this matter with the owner. HPBC have responded to the request to remove the vehicles that have been parked on Milton Lane, Tunstead Milton to say they are parked on private property and have no power to remove them unless the land owner reports the problem. Abandoned vehicle legislation does not cover the fact that the vehicles may be considered an eyesore. 10/271 Any Other Business None There being no further business the Chairman declared the meeting closed at 8.05pm CHAIRMAN |

The Committee considered in turn eleven applications to carry out developments within the Parish and it was RESOLVED: That the following comments be sent to the relevant Planning Authority. 0578 Mr and Mrs G Bevan 15.10.09 Higher Birches, Tunstead Milton, Whaley Bridge Resubmission of HPK/2009/0465 for single storey side extension Whilst Members now appreciate that the applicants earlier application had been to build in open countryside, they would like to submit the same comments as before. No objection.

Remove existing concrete wall and planting area, dig out bank and re-grade parking area. Members applauded the movement of a large commercial business to an industrial estate.

All members declared an interest due to the applicant being the Parish Council and chose not to submit a comment. 0569 Mrs Puddick 22.10.09 Bowden Hall Cottage, Bowden Lane, Chapel-en-le-Frith Retain garage for domestic use, (renewal of temporary permission) No objection, provided the permission is only extended and not granted for a permanent structure. 0604 Dr Steve Peters 27.10.09 Newlyn Crossings Road, Chapel-en-le-Frith Extension to existing dwelling to provide 2 additional bedrooms with en-suite facilities and double height conservatory. Members thought the inclusion of a double height conservatory would affect neighbours on the adjacent housing estate, especially as it would contain a gallery. The extension appears incongruous in an area of small dwellings that are predominately bungalows, which will become overlooked from the gallery. For the above reasons members would like the site to be visited by the delegated officer. 0613 Mr Andrew Bartholomew 27.10.09 141 Manchester Road, Chapel-en-le-Frith Re-submission of application HPK/2009/0446, construction of 5 bedroom dwelling in the garden of 141 Manchester Road with new access to serve the existing house.

They are a vast improvement to the buildings that are currently there. However, Members were concerned about the poor accessibility to the site, and asked that a condition should be included to prohibit the conversion to domestic dwellings as the application is for commercial purposes. 0628 Mr Jason Williams 02.11.09 114 Manchester Road, Chapel-en-le-Frith Replacement of existing wooden garage with a larger block and render construction in a similar position.

The idea would be to pave the areas where people walk, so between the bollards to the front door and to flag a ‘footpath’ under the covered walkway to the offices and library. Bollards would be needed at the entrance to the walkway to prevent parking. 10/218 Public Footpaths Mike Green will report back on any actions that can be taken as a result from the ‘walk round’ with the Clerk and Chairman. The footpath that runs from Burrfields to Bowden Hall is overgrown. 10/219 Correspondence A new bus stop has been introduced on the south side of the road between the Chemist and Bowling Green Lane.

As this is a retrospective planning application, Members would prefer it if the height of the outbuilding was reduced. At the moment, the building is incongruous with the surrounding houses due to its height. 0508 High Peak 4x4 Garage 08.09.09 High Street, Chapel-en-le-Frith Residential development for 10 apartments. No objection.

The materials and style are in-keeping with the surrounding area and the build matches other properties in the street. 0429 Mr Guy Matthews 04.08.09 Brookfield, Whitehough, Change of use- domestic garage into a home-working unit. Vehicle repair and service business. Members had great concerns over the location of this property which is in the Conservation area in a small village. Although the applicant states that no customer cars will be parked on the drive or outside the property, and that no more than one car will be on the property at any one time, Members are aware that this proposal is already being broken. D.C.C are aware of this application and the current situation with cars being parked on the road. 0434 Mr Malcolm Barnett, Macmillan Cancer Support 07.08.09 Blythe House Hospice, Eccles Road, Chapel-en-le-Frith Conversion of existing single storey store and covered seating area to create an enclosed information and support centre. The development retains the existing shell of the garden store and the seating area. No objection. Members applauded this application and it will be a great addition to the Hospice. 0422 Mrs Angela Buttrill 11.08.09 Rowan Cottage, Bowling Green Lane, Chapel-en-le-Frith Replacement conservatory with two storey extension to provide new living room with bedroom and bathroom above with new hallway. No objection. This addition is an enhancement to the site and fits the surrounding area. Con/ 0020 DCC 28.07.09 Gables Childrens Home, Crossings Road, Chapel-en-le-Frith Erection of 18m of 2.4m high security fencing with gate to rear boundary. Councillor Martin declared an interest as a member of the Three Gables Committee. No objection but members have asked that a condition be included to ensure that the gate is kept locked at all times. Amended Plans 0254 Severn Trent0254 04.06.09 Meadow Lane, Dove Holes (land adjacent to existing Chapel-en-le-Frith service reservoir near junctions of Meadow Lane, Long Lane and Ashbourne Lane, near Dove Holes.) Erection of additional covered service reservoir and re-profiling of land. No objection. 10/150 Appeals None 10/151 Notifications None 10/152 Conservation Areas None 10/153 Public Footpaths The grass cutting on the Horsefair Estate has been completed to a poor standard with mounds of cut grass being left and scattered. Members appreciated that it is not HPBC policy to collect the grass but if this is to happen the frequency needs to be increased so that the amount of grass left behind is much smaller. Monica Gillespie has been made aware of the tree cutting at Morrisons. No action can be taken as the land is owned by Morrisons and there are no tree preservation orders in place. Monica has contacted Morrisons to give them advice on how to correctly prune and fell trees so that the result is more aesthetically pleasing. The stones on the tramway have been reinstated. 10/154 Correspondence Simon Tranter at DCC Highways will be sent copies of all the correspondence regarding the large agricultural vehicles using Eccles Road, as HPBC were unable to help as it was beyond their remit. A reply will be sent to Mr. David Mullholland regarding this matter informing him of the Parish Councils actions. On August 23rd the A6, from its junction with Barmorclough (A623) for a distance of 1.8km will be closed due to the renewal of overhead cables. The National Trust are using the blank space on the sign at the foot of Eccles Pike as a commemorative memorial for Highley Sugden, who was a long term supporter of the National Trust and lived in Chapel-en-le-Frith. A memorial day is being held on the 17th September to unveil the new plaque. Due to the closure of Town End Post Office, a new bus stop is being considered as near to Market Place as possible and two new options have been sent for Councillors opinions. The sites that have been identified are outside the Charity Shop and near the chemist. Although Councillors applauded the idea, these were deemed unsuitable for the following reasons:
Members have suggested that the current bus stop on the northern side (outside Cromwell House) is easily accessible. The new bus stop on the southern side could be situated outside High Peak 4x4. This is a wider section of the road and the bus lay-by will allow for two buses to pass. 10/155 Any Other Business None There being no further business the Chairman declared the meeting closed at 8.35pm CHAIRMAN |

DCC Highway engineers will undertake an inspection of the car park to assess the nature of any remedial work that may be required before the transfer. Barratts will then be contacted with details of the works required. Currently there are no parking restrictions in Whitehough which means no enforcements can be carried out. Councillor Martin and Councillor FP Harrison will meet with Isobel Mulligan in Whitehough to discuss the problems and see if parking restrictions can be put in place. A letter has been received from Mr. GA Harper of Eccles Road regarding the increase in both frequency and size of agricultural vehicles from High Courses Farm, from a company called Smith Plant Hire. A copy of the letter has been forwarded onto Mr Ellis at HPBC and a reply will be sent to Mr. Harper. 10/118 Any Other Business Due to the merger with Staffordshire Moorlands, the dates of HPBC Development Control Committee will be changing. As a result of this, new dates for the Parish Council Planning Committee will be made. There being no further business the Chairman declared the meeting closed at 8.15pm CHAIRMAN |
