At the AGM on 11-May-2015 I was elected to be Chair of the Parish Council for the next year. Alan Moss is the new Vice-Chair. Unfortunately Linda Olver has had to resign from the Parish Council, and we thank her for all her work for the parish.
There are two planning applications that need to be mentioned. The first is a new application in St Ive for change of use of the Butchers Arms public house to a residential dwelling with Bed and Breakfast facilities and a village shop/post office. Although I can see that getting back our shop/post office would be positive, the survey for the Neighbourhood Plan was very strongly in favour of retaining the pub. The second planning application that the architect and housing association involved presented to the Parish Council, is for a new housing estate to be built on the fields between Amanda Way and the industrial estate on the St Ive road. This not only removes the buffer zone between residential accommodation and the noise and smells of the industrial estate, but is not a small-scale development, as required by the Neighbourhood Plan survey. Your opinions of these developments are welcome. Comments on the Butchers Arms change of use can be added to the Cornwall Council planning website (reference PA15/02306). The housing estate already has the pre-application closed (reference PA14/03812/PREAPP) but existing documentation can be viewed.
On Fore Down some unofficial 15 mph signs have been erected, vandalised and removed. I know this is just outside the parish boundary, but if the person who put them up wants the damaged signs back, please contact the parish office.
Don’t forget the parish
website st-ive-parishcouncil.gov.uk with council meeting agendas and
minutes; also downloadable copies of the Parish Pump. For those of you
who do Facebook, our St Ive Parish Council page is still being updated
with parish news. Phone me, email me on martin.corney@btinternet.com or
"martin corney blog st ive" in search engines will find my blogs for you
to comment on this article and other gems.
