To receive declarations of interest in accordance with the 2000 Local Government Act.  Members may make any declarations of interest at this point, but may also make them at any point during the meeting.  There were no declarations of interest.

Planning Matters to include:

Planning application 143985 new water pipe line, Elsham to Lincoln

Document List (west-lindsey.gov.uk) – Members had perused the documents and discussed the distances for scoping, badger sett, noise impact, original source of water and vulnerability to drought and flood.  Response sent to WLDC – “Page 117 of report states “majority of construction activity will be undertaken during the standard daytime working hours 0700 – 1900 hours Monday to Friday and 0700 – 1700 hours Saturday”. In table 11-3 (page 120), the time period being measured for baseline noise levels is identical for the Monday to Friday period but only 0700 – 1300 hours for Saturday. Why is there a four-hour reduction in time frame when noise levels are being measured? In table 14-2 (Key scoping assumptions), under item 4. Working hours, it states “Currently expected to be weekdays 07:00- 19:00 and Saturday 07:00-16:00.” Consistency in the definition of working hours for purposes of construction activity would be appreciated. In addition, a glossary of terms would be extremely useful when the planning application report is submitted.”

Asset of Community Value – Decision deadline is 19.01.22, document received by WLDC 24.11.21.

Financial matters including:

Invoice from Glendale re grass cutting - £146.10 – proposed and seconded, agreed to pay.  Cheque was duly drawn up and signed.

Date and Time of next meeting – 12th January 2022 at 7.00pm in Spridlington Village Hall.

Meeting closed at 7.20pm
