PLANNING APPLICATIONS FOR YAPTON

The Planning Committee had before them and considered the following planning application(s)

and resolved as indicated:-

Y/64/04/CLE

Application for a Certificate of Lawfulness for an existing use – use as woodyard with hard standing for vehicles associated with the use and stationing of three caravans.

Land at Cinders Lane Off Bilsham Road Yapton OBSERVATION

The Committee heard from local residents who were concerned about the planned development which was taking place on the Cinders Lane site.

Resolved – That a letter be sent to the Planning Officer of Arun District Council outlining the concerns of local residents and drawing attention in particular to the fact that the applicant appeared in breach of planning regulations with regard to (a) the hard surfacing on the land and (b) the height of the metal posts which supported an entrance gate to the site and seeking an assurance that the Council would enforce these infringements by ensuring appropriate planning permission was sought.

Y/65/04/

Conversion of the existing retail unit into five cottages

The Old Post Office site Main Road Yapton SUPPORT

Resolved – That full support be given to the application as it would lead to a vast visual improvement to the premises which were presently used for retail purposes; it would provide a more attractive welcome to the village from the west and it would also improve road safety at this location as there should be no need for vehicles to be parked unsafely with the change in use.
