Public Forum:-
Mr. Gavin Smith of Cornwall Council Planning attended the meeting in
respect of PA18/09982 150 Dwellings at Land at Edgcumbe Road, Roche
advising he notes the concerns and advised the policy says once you get to 50
dwellings you cannot go past it. They would like to keep the bypass road from
the site. He does not want to agree
with the developer that they can go past the 50. Chair asked for Councillor J. Woods
thoughts and he advised there is a remote risk about the road and as he
speaks to people the risk is diminishing daily. He does fear that looking to stop things
and to push hard when we could get benefits up front, i.e. asking for
benefits in place beforehand. He
believes there is a big risk if the developers go down the road of
appealing. This is a decision for the
Parish Council and obtain the maximum benefits for the Parish, monies for
School and Doctors surgery should be up front after the 50 houses, this would
not be the best of packages to sell on then.
Chairman advised we have on the agenda and will send an email to Gavin
tomorrow with our decision. Councillor M. Edyvean reported the offices for
the road site have been built but since that the heavy equipment has been
moved out since, this is slightly concerning.
Councillor G. Rowe reported from the very start we have been urging
Origin 3 to put this application on hold, he is concerned they seem to be
jumping the gun, so to speak. Lately
it appears they have tried to steam roll the application and could they not
work with the Parish Council and our Neighbourhood Plan. Gavin
Smith left the meeting at 6.44pm. |

difficult to solve issues and he is receiving even more and more neighbour

Planning Applications/Results/Correspondence/Any Letters
received for or against any Planning Applications:- Clerk
reported that proposals for planning applications will be sent with the
following statement:- Due to the
restrictions placed on the Parish Council as a result of the pandemic
coronavirus, this response represents the opinion of Members of Roche Parish
Council identified through a consultation process and will be ratified at the
next appropriate meeting of the Parish Council. Planning Applications:- For Information Only PA20/01689/PREAPP Mr. Michael John
Kent
Pre-application advice for the demolition of existing garage to obtain access
to rear garden to build two detached dormer bungalows with parking and
gardens, 25 Chapel Road, Roche Email
from resident in respect of the above pre-application - As the owner of the
property next door to the proposed development to the rear of 25 Chapel Road,
I would like to voice a few concerns: (1) The proposal to build 2 properties
seems excessive. One property would affect my privacy and enjoyment of my
home, but would be (reluctantly) acceptable, two would be hugely intrusive,
both visually and in terms of noise and general disturbance. (2) The proposal
for the properties to be dormer bungalows causes me great concern. Numbers
25, 27 and 27A are all single storey bungalows and even that was initially
intrusive for number 25 when 27A was first built. The houses in Foxglove
Close have had a huge impact on me, being so large and towering over my back
garden, I am very alarmed at the prospect of buildings hemming me in on three
sides. I moved here in 1987 when the garden was completely private, despite
having houses to the rear on Firsleigh Park. (3) I am also concerned about
the access onto Chapel Road being too narrow to serve two properties and all
their attendant vehicles. This road has no pavement and is quite busy, with
vehicles frequently speeding along it. Egressing onto Chapel Road is
dangerous enough without adding even more cars into the mix. (4) Should this
development go ahead, please could any doors and windows in number 25 which
face me and were previously hidden by the garage, have opaque glazing? To
summarise then, whilst I appreciate that some development will almost
certainly happen to the rear of number 25, the impact on me would be
minimised by it being only one property and only a single storey bungalow,
i.e. not a dormer bungalow. Councillor
M. Edyvean proposed we follow up about the access up the side of the bungalow
and point this out and ask about emergency services. Councillor G. Rowe explained it never seems
to be clear with regards to back garden development and he believes we could
only pick up on access issues and we also need to bear in mind the neighbours
comments (Proposed: Councillor Mrs. J. Norris; Seconded: Councillor Mrs. S.
Tippett) Action: Clerk. Update on Site of Poachers
Inn:- Clerk reported designs had been
circulated during the month that NU Foundations hopes will answer the
majority of the points raised by the Parish Council. They will request the double yellow lines
are enforced along
Tregarrick Road and the plan shows that we have incorporated 10 parking
spaces and two disabled/visitor spaces. The front of the building along Fore Street will line up with
the adjacent properties, thus setting this back further from the road and all
of the pavement will be retained along Tregarrick Road. He asked if the Parish Council would prefer
to see hanging
slate instead of the timber as this seems to be a feature that is used on
some of the existing properties along Fore Street? It was resolved to respond advising we are pleased with the
answer and happy with slate instead of the timber (Proposed: Councillor D. Inch;
Seconded: Councillor Mrs. I. Northey) Action: Clerk. Update on PA18/09982
150 Dwellings at Land at Edgcumbe Road, Roche:- Following the update from Gavin Smith
earlier this evening it was resolved to respond advising in principle we
understand what you are saying and we would like to understand exactly what
money would be available with regards to school, doctors, pavement (i.e.
benefits side for the parish) and we would then come back to you after we
have relevant information. Also, to
ask for a guarantee no more houses than agreed Action: Clerk to
put together a response and circulate to Councillors to include any further
information (Proposed: Councillor P. Jones; Seconded: Councillor Mrs. J.
Norris) Planning Results:- PA20/01171/PREAPP Mr. John Burton Pre-application advice for a small
holiday let, Land North of Belowda Mine, Belowda, Roche Closed Advice
Given PA20/05507 Mr. Tom Chapman Works to trees namely to crown
raise all trees in Churchyard to 3m in height, also to remove one piece of
Yew subject to a Tree Preservation Order (TPO), St. Gomondas Church Open
Space, Fore Street, Roche Approved PA20/06110 Mr. Steven Putt Demolition of conservatory and
construction of dining room extension, 2 Prosper Close, Roche Approved Planning Correspondence:- Email from local resident - I am writing
now because Malcolm Dyer has recently heard that there are plans to change
the boundary and remove the style at the back of the churchyard. This backs
straight on to my Mums house at Higher Trerank, as you may know, (she still
climbs the style for her exercise when she can) and also may relate to land
on which cars, including mine and Malcolms parking when visiting my Mum. I
have searched for any evidence of a planning application for this and cannot
find anything so hope it may simply be a false rumour. But I do want to check
on my behalf and on my Mums; if there are plans, I would be grateful if you
could send me a link to them. It was
agreed this is not a Parish Council matter, it is between the Church and parishioners
involved. |

Land at Glebe Quarry Update:- Councillor J. Wood reported there is no update for now but to leave on
the agenda Action: Clerk to
include on the next agenda and Cornwall Councillor J. Wood to follow up for
an update in the meantime. Email received from David Edwards for an update
and advising he was at the Parish Council Meeting when this was first
discussed and the proposal for the Parish Council to obtain the land did seem
a good one. However, a recent Google search brings up some
results on the .Gov.UK Website, which raises concerns as to how contaminated
this land could be. He is not sure the
Parish Council are on top of this, but there does seem to be some risk that
Roche Parish residents could become liable for the eventual clean-up cost of
the land. |

asked about an agenda item for next month during Covid-19 to help with these
organisations not having funding and perhaps we could use the Solar funding
in a different light Action: Clerk. |

Discussion on Small Crisis Grants to Individuals and
Families as a short-term emergency measure:-
Email received from Sara Marsh, Manager with an update of these Small
Crisis Grants advising they currently distribute to individuals &
families as a short-term emergency measure. Normally people are
referred by others who are working to support them. They do not ask for proof
of benefit, bank statements or need, this is normally taken on trust. They take information to provide further
signposting and food support with the longer-term aim of ensuring they move
out of crisis. They provide up to £70
in cash. They started in March, using a small grant of £500 from Cornwall
Community Foundation. Since then Treverbyn Parish Council have donated
£1000 for distribution to residents in need in the parish of Treverbyn and
CCF have donated a further £500 for wider community support. 23% of the grants distributed have
been in Roche Parish. With rising levels of unemployment, furlough
ending and winter on the way we are expecting the economic situation to
worsen significantly for many more people in the area; it would be really
helpful if there were some dedicated funds set aside to help people in Roche
who are in hardship. It would be great if Roche Parish
Council could either donate to our hardship fund, on a similar basis to that
made by Treverbyn Parish Council or set up and run their own in much the same
way that St Stephens Parish Council have done. There is no administration
charge for doing this, 100% of the money gets distributed to where it needs
to go. It was resolved to respond
advising we will discuss next month what the Parish Council wishes to do
(Proposed: Councillor J. Wood; Seconded: Councillor D. Inch) Action:
Clerk. Councillor
P. Ames reported unfortunately we have not budgeted for this. Councillor J. Wood suggested an item on the
next agenda for funding - Review of Solar Grant Funding Action: Clerk. |

youngsters from the bus shelters they will go elsewhere, we do need to give

Working Group Party for the Village - Street/Road Signs
in the Village/Parish and general tidy up of the Village/Parish as a whole:- Clerk
reported she had heard from Vicky Bundy as follows - The litter picks are going
well David Edwards and Councillor Graham Rowe both attended the last two,
thank you as always. The amount of litter has decreased as we only
collected four bags this time which is good but probably to be expected with
so many of us staying at home so much. We found several disposable masks and
it is mainly the usual drinks and food packaging and cigarette butts. It has
been noted there is litter on the verges to and from the village. It would be
good to clear these at some point but there would be a risk from passing
traffic. We
plan to carry on throughout the year the next one in November 2020 if the
date could be confirmed at your meeting?
It was agreed to continue with the litter picking in the village and
to remain as the first Sunday of every other month, weather dependent Action: Clerk. |
