Planning Applications:

There are currently no planning applications to report.

 

Do You Need Planning Permission:

Just a quick reminder to everyone - do please check the need for planning permission before embarking upon any property alterations, extensions etc. There have been a few cases recently where retrospective planning permission has had to be applied for and this is not ideal for the applicant or neighbours who could be affected by the developments. There is also the question of the management of construction traffic and the need for an agreement with WURA on paying for any damage to the roads maintained at your expense. Copies of revised standard agreements for contractors and developers can be downloaded by clicking the two links below (pdf documents):
 

New Committee Members:

Due to losses from the Committee in the past year we urgently need 2 new members so please contact  Colin Brown  (Chairman) or  Richard Russell  (Secretary) if you can help. There are about 4 meetings a year at members' houses plus the AGM.
