Ashford Parish Council met on Zoom on Thursday 16th July, the first meeting since last March. It was attended by full Council, eight members of the public and North Devon District Councillor Mrs Andrea Davis. Apologies received from Devon County Councillor Mrs Caroline Chugg who submitted a Report.
The Minutes for last February were duly approved and signed as a correct record.
The monthly checks for the defibrillator have continued through out the Lock Down period, having new pads and batteries, the report sent to the South West Ambulance Service.
Two planning applications were received for consideration,. Firstly at Chivenor roundabout in Heanton, a submission for 94 dwellings. Ashford being a neighbouring parish
have been asked for their views. It was decided that the same reasons for refusal given on two previous occasions, volume of traffic, lack of infrastructure and the flood plain were still very much valid. The second application for an extension to an Affordable home at Puffin, Meadowside was neither against or approved until the Parish have a clearer understanding of whether the property would still come under the Affordable Scheme if an extension was added. The Parish Council await advice from the Planning Department..
Three seats have been refurbished and grass cutting continued during the coronavirus pandemic.
North Devon District Council will be distributing Blue Boxes during August/September for the collection of glass for recycling. This has been on trial and proved to be very successful.
