Bury Parish Council Trees being felled and trees being planted Edited extracts from draft minutes of the Environment & Planning Committee 23rd June 2022. SDNP/22/01353/HOUS The Barton The Street Bury RH20 1PA Front porch (after demolition of conservatory). This application had already been determined by SDNPA even though an extension had been granted to the Parish Council. However, the applicant was present so Councillors advised her that whilst they supported most of the application, they were opposed to the amount of proposed rooflights as it would harm Bury’s Dark Night Skies and believed a reduced number would be adequate. SDNP/22/01902/HOUS Willow Cottage Bury Common Bury RH20 1NR Addition of a singlestorey oak-framed pitched roof entrance porch to front elevation. Councillors support this application as they believed it would improve the design and character of the dwelling. SDNP/22/02496/TCA Woodbine Cottage The Street Bury RH20 1PA Notification of intention to fell 1 no. Eucalyptus tree. Councillors resolved to
remain neutral on this application. SDNP/22/02497/TCA Little Meadow The Street Bury RH20 1PA Notification of intention to fell 2 no. Lawson Cypress trees. Councillors resolved to remain neutral on this application in the absence of any explanation for the felling. SDNP/22/01985/HOUS& SDNP/22/01986/LIS Kesters House The Street Bury RH20 1PA Proposal: Proposed alterations to existing extension. Councillors resolved to remain neutral on this application. Queen’s Jubilee Tree Planting. The Chair reported that the Beechdown arboriculturalist advises that it was unlikely that seven oak trees would fit in the Recreation Ground. It was suggested that three could be planted on the north boundary or just a single with a plaque. The Chair has found a nursery in Bury that could supply trees. Tree Policy. The clerk presented a draft tree policy but it was agreed to defer any decision until the next meeting. www.buryparishcouncil.co.uk
Fittleworth Parish Council Queen jubilee, the Swan pub & traffic Fittleworth celebrated the Queen's Platinum Jubilee in style with lots for everyone, we were so lucky with the weather although some ended up dancing in the rain at the party on the Friday, but it did not seem to damped spirits. Tea at the Palace was a real ‘Wow’ although the poor helpers were completely rushed off their feet trying to keep up with the washing up. A big thank you too, to all the cake and scone bakers and huge thank you to all the organisers of all the events. The Jubilee Planter unveiling of the lovely plaque, donated by the amazing Oakmasters, was superbly done by long standing residents in the village The Church looked amazing too for their special service, with their Jubilee flower arrangements. Thank you and well done everyone – a tremendous effort. The Swan pub We are still awaiting formal confirmation of the sale of The Swan by people who would like to
continue to run it as a pub, but understand things are progressing well. Traffic We have now agreed to 5 locations throughout the village for the SID (Speed indicator Device) which we will now get set up and will move the SID around to keep motorists on their toes and make sure they keep to speed limits. We are now looking into installing Village Gates at each entrance to the village and are applying for a TRO (Traffic Regulation Order) to reduce the 40mph limit along the Fleet to 30mph. As before, please continue to report ‘nearmisses’ on traffic@fittleworth-pc.org,uk and a thank you to those of you who have already done so. www.fittleworth-pc.org.uk
