To note the following from ChALC.
‘The Department of Communities and Local Government laid a legislative reform order on 12th January in
Parliament to allow local (parish and town) councils to use electronic communications to send agendas.
p1
Local Government Minister Kris Hopkins MP said: “We have been encouraging can-do councils to adapt to
the digital age to modernise the services they deliver to local people and deliver savings. This Government is
determined to bust barriers to modernisation in local government therefore it is only right councils should be
able to issue agendas electronically, whilst ensuring councillors continue to have access to hard copy papers
if they wish. This is a great opportunity for town halls to use modern digital communications to conduct
business in the most efficient way possible and it will help reduce costs and provide better value for money
for local taxpayers.”
Cllr Ken Browse, chair of NALC (National Association of Local Councils) said: “Local councils are the most
local part of government and the body most closely connected to the community. Our connection with local
people and our knowledge of the local area means we are ideally placed to make use of the Act. No one
knows the local community like we do and this new change to an arcane law shows this in practice. This
reform to rules, which are over forty years old, is long overdue but very welcome and will help parish and
town councils operate more efficiently and effectively.
“NALC welcomes the Government’s announcement that allows local (parish and town) councils to be able to
send agendas electronically rather than in the post; ending a budgetary burden on councils and enabling
them to benefit from 21st Century technology.”
The Government’s Legislative Reform Order can be found at:
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2015/5/pdfs/uksi_20150005_en.pdf. Please go to the NALC website for
more information which is available at http://www.nalc.gov.uk/news?view=entry&id=138’

for past service.
2 Community engagement: (a) Public speaking time. (15 minutes). (b) Visiting Members/Officers. To note
that Scottish Power are proposing utility works in the parish as part of a scheme to strengthen the wider
network. Representatives will attend to detail the scheme and to respond to Members' questions. (c) Report

31 January 2015. Cllrs Hughes, Ringstead.(d) To agree those presiding at the surgery due on 28 February

3 Planning.
(a) New/current applications.
Single storey extension to side and rear
52 Guilden Sutton Lane Guilden Sutton Chester Cheshire CH3 7EY
Ref. No: 14/05173/FUL | Validated: Tue 09 Dec 2014 | Status: Planning permission. NEW DECISION.
Cllrs Paterson/Fisher.
No objection was raised.
Single storey side extension and internal alterations
105 Oaklands Guilden Sutton Chester Cheshire CH3 7HE
Ref. No: 14/04484/FUL | Validated: Fri 07 Nov 2014 | Status: Application permitted. NEW DECISION.
Cllrs Fisher/Ringstead.
No objection was raised following this report from Cllr Fisher:
This is a small extension which will not significantly alter the street scene. The house will still have adequate
parking space and garden, although the garage will be converted into living space.
The owner of the house opposite confirmed that she had been notified by CWaC, and had no objection.
Proposed demolition of existing single storey extension and erection of part two storey rear extension and
single storey rear extension including alterations to the existing garage roof to create a pitched roof.
Ashley House Hare Lane Chester Cheshire CH3 7ED
Ref. No: 14/04682/FUL | Validated: Wed 05 Nov 2014 | Status: Pending consideration
Cllrs Fisher/Ringstead.
Members may wish to note that at the time of writing this proposal had not been determined.
p2
No objection was raised following this report from Cllr Fisher:
The main element of this application is to make a modest rear extension on the first floor, not visible from the
front, together with some tidying of roofs etc.
This dwelling is substantial in a large garden, so this work will not be disproportionate. There will be no loss
of amenity to neighbours.
Cards were left at neighbours on both sides, following which Mr Bellamy has telephoned to inform me that he
has no objections.
First floor side extension
84 Oaklands Guilden Sutton Chester Cheshire CH3 7HG
Ref. No: 14/03619/FUL | Validated: Thu 21 Aug 2014 | Status: Planning permission.
Cllrs Brown, Davis.
Response:
The Council shares the view of the occupiers of 86 Oaklands that there is no objection to the principle of the
proposal but similarly their concerns as to loss of privacy arising from the first floor front window. Should this
fail to meet the guidance the Council would object.
14/03407/DIS | Discharge of conditions 3 (material), 4 (affordable housing), 5 (landscape layout),
6 (landscape management plan) and 10 (parking details) on permission 13/05410/FUL | Land Adjacent To
Treetops School Lane Guilden Sutton Chester Cheshire. Application permitted.
The Clerk.
Members may recall an objection was raised to the proposed allocations cascade.
Residential development of 17 affordable dwellings and associated vehicular access to School Lane.
Land Adjacent To Treetops School Lane Guilden Sutton Chester Cheshire.
Ref. No: 13/05410/FUL | Validated: Fri 20 Dec 2013 | Status: Planning permission.
Cllrs Moulton, Hughes.
Objection
To note the Clerk has held an informal meeting with the managing director of MCI (the developer) and the
project officer from Adactus (the registered social landlord). Separately he has ascertained this is the first
time the two organisations have co-operated although most of MCI’s projects involve affordable housing (a
visit to their web site, which includes the School Lane project is informative). Both were provided with the
Council’s full objection and proposed conditions to inform the context. Preliminary work to remove hedgerow
to allow for the access will take place before March. The intention is neighbours opposite, probably running
from Arrowcroft Road, will be advised in advance as will the Council. As to allocations, MCI say the Cheshire
Cat scheme, which they undertook, is wholly occupied by residents from Chester Villages ward. Further
clarification is being sought by the Clerk as to how prospective tenants may register. MCI were aware contact
through the advertised number has not proved to be satisfactory although their web site encourages those
with an interest to contact the company. Adactus suggest it may be too early in the process which the Clerk
does not accept and is pursuing. As the scheme is now advertised, it is suggested MCI, Adactus or the
borough council must accept ownership for capturing the data in order they are best placed to meet the
priority for local allocations.
Mr M King, managing director of MCI, has kindly provided the following advice:
With regard to the registration of interest this ...will be managed via Adactus and CWCC; we at M.C.I. have
no control and or influence in this process and all enquiries should be made via Adactus at this time.
Within our company web site we publish details of all of our developments past, present and forthcoming in
order to promote our company and also offer a point of contact for neighbours and local residents should
they wish to contact us for any reason.
We also receive many enquiries from people who wish to register an interest in buying / renting on our
Clients developments which we acknowledge receipt of and forward on to the relevant Client for action.
Adactus have been requested to provide information for the newsletter.
p3
Further to the request by the Clerk to the highway authority for consideration to be given to a 20mph
restriction on an appropriate length of School Lane during construction, given Treetops and Wood Farm may
overlap or, failing that, to require warning signage, the following advice was received from the Principal
Development Officer - Team Leader, Highways Development Control.
Generally a construction traffic management plan would look at the things like HGv routing and times,
parking for construction staff cars and vans and wheel washing facilities if required and how they would deal
with deposits of mud etc on the highway. In terms of any signage this would form part of their responsibilities
for their health and safety of the site and this would include such signs as may be required in the highway,
which they would have to agree in principle with the likes of Ian’s team.(Area Highways Engineer).
I wouldn’t envisage the need for a 20mph limit for such sites as these and also would not expect to see
signage of the scale and number that the Zoo has out. That is a significantly more major operation on the
very busy A41.
These are small scale sites that will need to be managed by the developers. Any issues that arise can then
be tackled either through enforcement if they are I breach of details of their Construction Traffic Plan or
though other highway powers, depending on that the issues are.

‘Dear County colleagues
Last year a number of CALCs and their member Councils supported Wingham Parish Council’s proposal
under the Sustainable Communities Act for Parish and Town Councils to be made statutory consultees on
vehicle operator licence applications and renewals.
Please find attached (forwarded separately) DCLG’s response to Wingham Parish Council on their SCA
proposal. As you can see, DCLG is inviting the council to respond to the DfT’s review of Traffic
Commissioners and Operator Licensing which invites views through an interactive website on the work and
role of the Traffic Commissioners and potential improvements to the operator licensing system. It is not a
formal consultation. The Council is currently considering its response to the DCLG letter and whether to
make a challenge.
In the meantime, we would strongly encourage all those CALCS and their member Councils that supported
the Wingham SCA proposal to respond to the Traffic Commissioners and Operating Licensing Review, which
will be open until 31 January.
The interactive website can be accessed using the following link: http://www.dft.gov.uk/trafficcommissioners-review/.

(iii) Future funding. To note the following from the Chief Operating Officer.
Dear Honorary Members, Directors and Members,
I am writing today to ask for your support in petitioning the Department for Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). As
many of you will know, Defra have funded Rural Community Councils for many years, approximately £2m per
annum across 38 organisations covering rural England.
Defra have yet to inform the Active Communities Rural England (ACRE) network of funding for the financial
year 2015 onwards. One of the options Defra are considering is a complete withdrawal of funds, as well as
reduced payments or a status quo. For Cheshire Community Action a withdrawal in funding would reduce
our ability to draw in other funding, and would detract from the important work we carry out across the rural
themes. It would greatly impact our work in the following areas:
Rural broadband provision policy work
Community Building support
Community Led Planning policy work
Community Development
Housing policy work
Health and Social care in rural areas policy work
Community Transport policy work
If possible, please support Cheshire Community Action, the ACRE Network and rural communities by signing
the e-petition; which ACRE launched today; below:

(iii) Draft Police & Crime Plan Consultation. To note the closing date for comments was 8 January 2015.
(iv) Council Tax 2015/16 Setting the Police Budget.
To note the following from the Police and Crime Commissioner (circulated separately).
Council Tax 2015
Setting the Police Budget
An important part of my role as your Police & Crime Commissioner is to set the budget for policing in
Cheshire. This is a decision that I do not take lightly. I need to fund the police to prevent and reduce crime,
place victims at the centre of the services that the police deliver and protect the front line.
Following the recent announcement from Government about future police funding, I have to find £8 million
savings from the Cheshire Constabulary budget next year to make sure that there is sufficient money to
balance the books whilst achieving the aims I set out in my Police & Crime Plan.
A 1.99% increase in Council Tax would mean an increase of under 6p per week for an average Band D
household. This would support an enhanced local policing service to support the new policing model and put
extra officers on the streets, something that the public tell me that they want to see.
You can give your feedback by clicking on the survey link.
The consultation closes on 16 January 2015.
Thank you for your time in considering this matter
John Dwyer
(v) Meeting With Parish & Town Council Representatives

I welcome the views of Parish & Town Councils on these matters.
