Mr & Mrs Gray<br />

Appendix B. Agree with all this, especially B5. Smaller developments are more<br />

desirable as seen from the response to the LDF exercise.<br />

B8: yes agree they would be very helpful. How will we (Parish <strong>Council</strong> & <strong>District</strong><br />

<strong>Council</strong>) know that this has happened?<br />

permission there can be no intervention or<br />

policing.<br />

Support welcome<br />

Developers are encouraged to discuss<br />

proposals and include the outcome in their<br />

planning application.<br />

Mr & Mrs Gray B10, B11 and B12 – how do we police this? Policing may only be possible on Listed<br />

Buildings where there are statutory controls.<br />

On other buildings there is no mechanism for<br />

policing.<br />

Mr & Mrs Gray B13, B14 & B15 - agree Support welcome<br />

B18 agree. The fences around some properties are awful, esp when they fall<br />

apart and are left in this state.<br />

B19- yes, but not enormous trees unless there is lots of space. Roots can<br />

damage house foundations, drains etc.<br />

B20 & B24. An alarming number of properties have “block paved” their<br />

driveways – how can we stop this?<br />

Taken as a whole, the document is not well-ordered. It is evident from recent<br />

discussions that the Parish <strong>Council</strong> has a clear understanding of the purpose of<br />

a VDS but experience elsewhere shows that such documents are widely<br />

misunderstood by the general public. It is important, therefore, that the purposes<br />

of the VDS are set out clearly at the beginning of the document. As drafted, this<br />

information appears, in part, under the heading “VDS Objectives” at the<br />

beginning of the document; under “Purpose of a Village Design Statement” and<br />

in Annex A. Annex A itself (which I assume is in standardised format attached to<br />

all VDSs) it’s highly confusing. The first three paragraphs should be incorporated<br />

in some form or another at the beginning of the VDS and the rest of the<br />

Support welcome<br />

Support welcome<br />

It is not for the VDS to attempt to stop this.<br />

Where permitted development rights exist the<br />

planning system does not get involved.<br />

Where planning permission is required for<br />

hard standing then an appropriate material<br />

must be agreed.<br />

The <strong>Council</strong> is satisfied that the role and<br />

purpose of the VDS is clearly set out in the<br />

generic text at the beginning of the<br />

document, and that the Appendix adds<br />

additional detail. The layout is appropriate<br />

and logical.<br />
