44/2024. PLANNING APPLICATIONS. TO CONSIDER ANY PLANNING APPLICATIONS AND TO NOTE ANY APPROVED SINCE LAST MEETING.
TO NOTE
148180 Planning application for the change of use of agricultural barn to equine veterinary hospital, exercise pen and erection of extension to provide reception area. Otby Moor Farm Moor Road Walesby Market Rasen LN8 3TQ. The Parish Council had no comment to make.
45/2024 UPDATE OF WALESBY NEW VILLAGERS BOOKLET
There was no update.
46/2024 REQUEST FROM WALESBY PCC FOR A GRANT TO REPAIR FOOTPATH.
The Church had nominated the footpath from Moor Road to the Church as a project for free labour provided by WLDC. The Church Warden had asked if the Parish Council would pay for the materials for the project. There was a long discussion during which it was noted that the parish council does not have a budget for grants nor has it got sufficient funds to be able to give an open ended grant. Therefore as most of the footpath in question is church property it was felt that it was more appropriate for the PCC to fund the project out of its accounts.
47/2024 DATE OF NEXT MEETING
The next meeting would take place on Monday 9 September 2024 at 7.00 pm.
The meeting closed at 7.45 pm.
