E Petition Amend the National Planning Policy Framework
As parish clerk Sam has received an email regarding housing development proposal and planning in rural areas and has asked me to put this epetition on the website for those interested in this.
Dear Clerk,
You will no doubt be familiar with the rapidly growing number of opportunistic housing development proposals being submitted in many rural communities throughout the country. You will also be aware of the enormous difficulty in resisting inappropriate planning applications without a core strategy in place or an identified 5 year supply of developable land. Even if applications are refused by the Local Planning Authority, there is a likelihood that they will be allowed at appeal as a result of the presumption of sustainable development. As you may know the MP for Stratford on Avon, Mr Nadhim Zahawi, has spoken out strongly against the damage being done to rural communities. The Daily Telegraph of 9th January reported him as saying that loopholes in the guidelines are allowing developers to “undermine the Government’s good intentions to deliver bottom-up planning and much needed housing” and that the “physical harm” being inflicted on the countryside could become “the defining legacy of this Government”. Unfortunately, whilst Mr Zahawi has a great deal support for his opinions, both regionally and at Westminster, the Government is not listening and seems determined to press ahead with its current policy despite the widespread irreversible damage that will ensue. We believe that Mr Zahawi’s stance should be given public support and that with three simple amendments to the planning policy the Government’s objective of building more homes can be achieved without the creation of a damaging legacy. With this in mind we have lodged an e-petition on the No 10 website and are inviting you and your councillors to support it. Here is the link http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/59376
Footpath Closure In May & June
Sam has been asked to put a notice up on the village notice board stating that some of the footpath down the canal side will be closed between 15th May to 4th June whilst power line refurbishment is being undertaken. They enclosed a map of the closure area which is on the notice board for all to have a look at.

In Bloom 2014
Are there any budding gardeners out there willing to take the
lead on a project of this nature, or at least find out how we go about
it for our area? It seems a nice thing to do and something everybody can
get involved in.
Thanks

2014 NEW ENTRANTS WORKSHOP
20th February, Immingham Civic Centre
This is our major biennial event, which is open to all recently-new and potential new entrants and other interested parties.
There
will be a short presentation ‘from the front’ about what Bloom is all
about and how it brings benefits to entrants, but this is mainly a
workshop event, where you will get the
opportunity to talk to experienced entrants about their views on Bloom,
meet senior judges and discuss what they hope to see ‘on the day’.
Weather
permitting, there will be short tours of a ‘Bloom route’, done in small
groups led by senior judges, giving you the chance to see through the
judges eyes. Bring suitable clothing!!! It is February, after all.
If the weather is genuinely poor then the session with the judges will take place inside as a round table workshop instead.
There
will also be an update on the National Bloom developments, with new
initiatives such as the BID category explained in more detail. Final
details will also be available about National Themes for 2014, and
advice on how you can get involved.
There
will, of course, be opportunities to meet with other ‘Bloomers’ and to
talk to some of our important sponsors, who will bring with them some of
the products that are so helpful in brightening up our communities
The
cost is £6 per person, to cover the cost of refreshments and a
light lunch. To ensure your place/s, please return your completed
reservation form (see attached or download a form from the website) http://www.

ePetition For Faster Broadband In Rural Areas
Sam was wondering since our broadband is so slow, if any of the village would be
interested in signing the e-petition mentioned in this email below for faster broadband in rural
areas?
In April 2013 Hollingbourne Parish Council initiated an e-petition to provide better broadband in rural areas including the village of Hollingbourne in Kent where download speeds are often less than .5MB.For further details about the e-petition please go to http://www.hollingbournepc.kentparishes.gov.uk/default. cfm?pid=diary&eventid=11384 If you would like to support the e-petition and have not done so already please go http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/48922
Parish Meeting Agenda Items Request For End Of January Meeting
We agreed at the last Parish Meeting to hold a meeting around the
end of January. Paul is hoping to do this on Monday 27th Jan (subject to the
church being available). If anybody has any agenda items can they pass
them to Paul or Sam ASAP. Paul would prefer agenda items before the meeting
rather than having them as AOB.
Many thanks
Paul
