NORTON SUB HAMDON PARISH COUNCIL. Planning: 1. An application for the removal of the agricultural tying condition at Portlake House, Great Street was considered. The Council decided that, while the agricultural tying condition itself was pointless and had never been enforced, the condition preventing division of the plot should be retained. 2. There was no objection to an extension, alterations and creation of a new vehicular access to Millview, Little Norton, or to the demolition of the garage and erection of an extension at Oakwood, Little Norton. 3. The Council recommended refusal of an application for conversion of Greenham’s shop to a holiday let on the grounds that a) the application should go through other planning tests, before this stage, to allow change of use, b) that the proposal, which does not envisage any alteration to the frontage, is not fit for purpose as accommodation and c) that the proposal does not fit the street scene, in the heart of our Conservation Area and close to Listed Buildings.

The Council is hoping to place a large stone bollard at the junction of Minchington Close and Skinners Lane to prevent parking on the verge and thus tidy up that muddy area and make turning into and out of Minchington Close safer for pedestrians and motorists.

The next Parish Council Meeting will be on Monday, 10 ^th November in the Reading Room at 8.00pm when the budget for the coming financial year will be considered. If you would like to see how your Council Tax is spent by the Parish Council, why not come along and listen.
