PA20/04727Location: Lynher Cottage Middlewood North Hill Launceston Cornwall PL15 7NN Proposal: Construction of dwelling and garage to include associated works. Applicant: Mrs Hewart

First comment dated 10 July 2020 The Parish Councillors of North Hill Parish Council have reviewed this application and wish to make the following comment: Councillors are concerned on a number of issues regarding this application, first being, the entrance and exit to the property, from the road, it is a very narrow part and extremely restricted. Secondly, the proposed dwelling is not in keeping with the surrounding properties. Councillors also believe the property and land has agricultural ties. Therefore, Cllr C Marshall proposed against the development with 2nd Cllr D Daniells, Councillors M Stephens, R Randall and B Ruby in agreement.

Second comment dated 9 March 2021 The Parish Council have reviewed and discussed this application and wish to make the following comment: The Parish Councillors visited this proposed development in June 2020 and held several concerns, on which, majority of Councillors voted to object and did not support this application. Councillors have reviewed the revised application; the proposed development goes against the North Hill Development Plan Item H3. New housing developments or conversions of existing buildings for residential purposes should be in keeping with the surrounding built form in terms of scale, mass and appearance and should normally be in traditional Cornish style where it is in keeping with other buildings in the immediate surrounding area. Where appropriate, new house building and house conversion schemes should adopt energy saving measures, using innovative design and techniques. Councillors would also like to bring it to the attention of Cornwall Council that on the basis of previous applicants' development, was turned down by Cornwall Council as they stipulated that developments should not extend beyond the existing Hamlet settlement. Councillors would also like to state, the members of the public have objected to this development via the Planning Portal. The Parish Councillors wish to know if the Highways Dept attempted to exit the site onto the B3254 or did a 'drive by'? Therefore, the Parish Council do not support this application voted by all Councillors with Cllr Parsons abstaining.

PA20/04468 Location: Tuckers Garage B3257 Between Lime Tree Way And Tremollett Road Coads Green Launceston PL15 7LY Proposal: Outline application with some matters reserved for the redevelopment of garage site, including demolition of existing buildings and construction of 16 dwellings (including 5 affordable dwellings), access, estate road, parking/garaging, landscaping and associated development.

The Parish Councillors of North Hill Parish Council have reviewed the above application and wish to make the following comment: With the proposed 16 houses, 5 Affordable Housing and 11 Open Market, the dwellings are well spaced leaving plenty of room between the properties.

Councillors are keen to support this development, as 2 previous Planning Applications has been submitted over a period of 20 years. Proposed by Cllr Ruby to support the application seconded by Cllr M Budge with all Councillors in favour. Cllr Parsons abstained.

Launceston Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC) – Service Update
15 January 2024

I am emailing with an update regarding the start of the upcoming Launceston RTS redevelopment and the impact this will have on the adjacent Launceston HWRC. As you will already be aware, Cornwall’s waste disposal facilities are currently undergoing a programme of redevelopment works, in order to support the new household waste collection services. The next phase of works, commencing on 22nd January 2024, will see the redevelopment of the Launceston Refuse Transfer Station, enabling it to be able to accept increased recycling material(s) and food waste, later in the year.

During these works the Launceston RTS site will be closed, and current waste deliveries will be diverted to other sites. We have been working closely with Suez to ensure that during this period the adjacent HWRC site can remain open, however due to the location of the construction works the site will have a reduced capacity. We have developed contingency plans to help minimise any disruption, and these include:

  • The site will temporarily stop accepting paper, mixed cans and plastics. These items can be put out by residents for collection as part of the kerbside recycling service.
  • The site does not currently accept household DIY waste i.e. soil/rubble, asbestos, plasterboard and tyres. This will not change whilst the construction works are taking place.
  • Containers currently accessed from above, via the walkways, will be moved to the upper yard and accessed via steps. Visitors needing assistance should ask a member of staff upon arrival.
  • Other containers may be moved to make the best use of space.
  • There will be a small reduction in available onsite parking spaces and the potential for queuing during busier times.

During this period we are asking residents to consider the following;

  1. Use the Council’s waste collection and kerbside recycling services wherever you can.
  2. Consider using an alternative HWRC if possible, as the reduced capacity on site may result in longer queues.
  3. Avoid visiting at peak times. The site is usually quieter between 9 and 10am, and 3 and 4pm.
  4. If you are disposing of DIY waste (including tyres) you will need to visit an alternative HWRC site (Saltash 16 miles, Bude 19 miles).

If you have any queries about this temporary change to service, or the redevelopment works, please do not hesitate to contact the waste team through Casework Assist.

Kind regards

Victoria
