(f) WP/19/00023–BungalowonLandtorearof111LondonRoad
This is an outline application for a two-bedroom bungalow in the rear garden of 111 London Road. Proposed response:
The Parish Council object to this application because they consider that this outline proposal for a backland development which would constitute an over-development of the site. The plans submitted show a bungalow which, despite abutting three of the four boundaries of the site, has a very limited amount of amenity area. The scheme illustrated does not meet the usual separation distance from adjacent properties and so would require party wall agreements with both 111 and 113 London Road.
It is not clear from the plans whether access is proposed from St Mary’s Road or via the PROW that runs to the east of the site although we suspect the latter. The proposed access should be clarified. Safety of access direct onto St Mary’s Road would need to consider the adjacent bus stop in addition to its location on the bend of this estate loop road. Access via the PROW will require measures to ensure that safe access is achieved both with the PROW and between the PROW and St Mary’s Road. This access also raises the concern about how the surface of the PROW would be made fit for regular vehicular use and how this would be maintained in perpetuity.

REPORT FROM THE PLANNING GROUP – February 2019 APPENDIX B
Prepared by Brian Skittrall
We are pleased to note that the plans show two parking places on site which we consider the minimum provision for a two-bedroom home in this location. This is because there are already problems with illegal on-street and verge parking at this end of St Mary’s Road and so no offsite parking is available.
(g) Local Plan Part 2 progress
The Development Committee meeting recommended that the plan is adopted. This should occur at the meeting of the Council on 26th February.

This replaces the existing porch shelter with a cloakroom and small lobby 2.025m x 3.120m. This moves the building line forward by just under 2m.
(f) WP/19/00109 – 2 new 2 bed flats above Village Shop
This creates 2 flats above the village shop with parking at the rear accessed from Easton Lane.
(g) WP/19/00109 – Certificate of lawful use, Nene Milling
This appears to be a resubmission of an earlier application to set the classification of the Nene Milling site as B1(c) Light industrial.
(h) WP/19/00023 – Bungalow on Land to rear of 111 London Road
Comments sent:
The Parish Council object to this outline application because they consider it to be a backland development which would also constitute an over-development of the site. The scheme illustrated shows a bungalow which abuts three of the four boundaries of the site and although the plans show two parking places on site, the parking area illustrated is only 4m wide and so would only allow the door of the innermost vehicle to open making it impractical. Despite these compromises the scheme has a very limited amount of amenity space.
We consider it essential that for a dwelling in this location all parking must be provided onsite because there are already problems with illegal on-street and verge parking at this end of St Mary’s Road. The Bozeat Village Plan Update found that two bedroomed dwellings in the village on average own more than a single vehicle and so we consider that a minimum of two spaces should be provided.

REPORT FROM THE PLANNING GROUP – March 2019 APPENDIX A
It is not clear from the plans whether access is proposed from St Mary’s Road or via the PROW that runs to the east of the site although because of the height difference we suspect the latter. Safety of access direct onto St Mary’s Road would need to consider the adjacent bus stop in addition to its location on the bend of this estate loop road. Access via the PROW would require visibility splays to ensure that safe access is achieved both with the PROW and with the PROW and St Mary’s Road. This access also raises the concern about how the surface of the PROW would be made fit for regular vehicular use and how this would be maintained in perpetuity.

The Borough Council adopted the plan at the meeting of the Full Council on 26th February.

Comments sent
Bozeat Parish Council objects to this application because it would have a significant adverse impact upon the amenity of the neighbouring property and the proposed parking would not appear to be viable.
The land to the rear of the neighbouring properties on London Road slopes steeply upwards from the houses. The rear of the adjacent property at no. 70 London Road has a boundary wall with the existing shop that is already an imposing feature at several metres high at the bottom of the garden. The proposed development would add a storey and a pitched roof above the existing built form which would project roughly 4m along the boundary from the rear wall of no. 70. Because the new buildings would be on the south side of no. 70 this would inevitably significantly reduce the amount of light that would reach the rear of no. 70 and would in our view be overbearing.
It is not clear from the plans whether the undeveloped trapezium shaped section of the shop roof would be accessible for use as an amenity space. If this were to be the case, then it would be the only amenity space available to the residents of the flats and when it was in use it would overlook the rear windows of no. 70 and the currently private garden.
Bozeat has significant problems with lack of parking and so it is essential that new dwellings have adequate parking. In this case the plans show adequate parking on site although there are concerns whether all the cars parked would have sufficient room to turn. This however is likely to be a moot point because the access lane is not in the ownership of the applicant and it appears that there is no right of vehicular access along the lane. Furthermore we note that in any case Highways do not consider that the track is adequate; they state: “Access to the parking area at the rear of the premises is by way of an access track lacking acceptable width and construction over
Page 1 of 2
REPORT FROM THE PLANNING GROUP – April 2019 APPENDIX A
its length and visibility at its junction with the public highway.” This being the case it would appear that parking cannot be provided as shown on the plans. There is not spare on-street capacity in the area to accommodate vehicles associated with the flats. A further concern regarding access is that with two separate dwellings it is more likely that vehicles will meet part way along the track and one will have to reverse along the narrow track.
Should permission be granted then the Parish Council would request that conditions are attached that require that:
impact became clear, we therefore request that the site viewing group visit.
Please note that now that Parish Council no longer receives hard copy plans we are not able to give more than vague estimates of dimensions. In this case there are not any dimensions on the plans from which we could scale.

Street Doctor Headline
Northamptonshire County Council has launched a new system of reporting damage to roads to replace “Street Doctor” called “FixMyStreet”, which includes the posting of photographs. The inclusion of photographs is an improvement, but there is no contact person, I’ve not been able to locate existing issues raised within this system and there is no contact person or time frame to undertake the repair. Will contact NCC and find out how this can be done. Three new FixMyStreet reports have been raised during this period. The following reports remain open or are currently being monitored Boz 27, 29, 39, 41 to 45, 46, 48, 49 to 55, 56, 57, 58, 59 & 60.

The Parish Council object to this outline application because it is a backland development which would appear to constitute an over-development of the site. There are also concerns about safety of access both for the application site and the host dwelling and about the proximity of the built form to the PROW forms the eastern boundary of the site.
Despite the application only containing scant information the following concerns have been raised:
Page 1 of 2
REPORT FROM THE PLANNING GROUP – May 2019 APPENDIX A
Prepared by Brian Skittrall
The scheme also has a very limited amount of amenity space which would be further reduced if the built form is moved further onto the site to conform to the PROW separation distance.
As we stated in our response to the previous application, we consider it essential that for a dwelling in this location all parking must be provided on-site because there are already problems with illegal on-street and verge parking at this end of St Mary’s Road in part due to overspill parking from London Road properties. The Bozeat Village Plan Update found that one or two bedroom dwellings in the village on average own more than a single vehicle and so we consider that a minimum of two spaces should be provided.
A final concern is that the privacy of the adjacent properties might be compromised.
We request that the site is assessed by the decision makers so that they can appreciate the circumstances of the site.

IT AND WEBSITE WORKING PARTY REPORT – JUNE 2019 APPENDIX E
Members of the IT and Website Working Party met on Thursday, 13th June 2019. Present:- Cllrs Brown; Docker and Skittrall together with the Clerk.
Purpose of the meeting:-
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the requirements of the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) No.2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 in order to ensure that Bozeat Parish Council complies.
The Clerk had visited the Gov.UK website and downloaded information about what is required, it was noted that the council must comply by 23 September 2020.
The reason for the legislation is to ensure that those with disabilities are able to access all the information that council’s and other public sector bodies make available.
As Bozeat Parish Council has its own website, the council must ensure that the information it provides is accessible to those with disabilities described.
Cllr Brown noted that the website is not the primary source of information, information is available from the Clerk.
It was noted that the Gov.UK website advises that the first step would be to check the council’s website for accessibility problems and it was agreed that it currently does not comply. Suggested that we begin making enquiries to find someone who could replicate our website in a compliant way or if there were suitable development tools that include accessibility support that would make it feasible for us to consider doing it ourselves.
As all local authorities will need to complete the website audit, it was agreed that the Clerk should contact Danny Moody at Northants CALC to ask if they have any contacts who could undertake the check or any advice on how to organize this. It was also agreed that NorthantsACRE be contacted with the same question as they were running website training sessions a few years ago. The Clerk also suggested that she contact SLCC members and ask what other Clerks are doing about the legislation.
Historic documents were mentioned and it was noted that the council can apply for exemption for historical information on the grounds that converting them would impose a disproportionate burden on the council, it was agreed to recommend that the council does apply for exemption for all historic documents.
It was also noted that the best end solution would be one that would allow the Council to do the regular uploads of minutes etc and to make changes to the content of pages.
It was suggested that this legislation should be considered at the next Parishes Forum meeting.

IT AND WEBSITE WORKING PARTY REPORT – JUNE 2019 APPENDIX E
Emails – it was noted that Cllr Brown had produced an email guide quite some while ago and he agreed to review the guide and issue it to any member who needs help with emails. It was agreed to remind members of the council to let the IT and Website Working Party know of any issues they have with their council email so that problems can be resolved promptly.
It was felt that a good start had been made and a clearer understanding of the requirements had been achieved.

The decision to refuse this has been appealed and the appeal granted. The Parish Council was not notified of the appeal and so could not submit evidence that could have affected the decision.
(f) WP/19/00428–Newdwelling,adj22FullwellRoad
This application proposes the demolition of an extension at 22 Fullwell Road and the construction of a new dwelling.
Comments sent:
Bozeat Parish Council are concerned that the plans for this application do not appear to be consistent. The Site Plan does not show access to parking for the host dwelling although this is shown on the Vehicle Access Plan. The Parish Council would like any permission to make it clear that access must be according to the Vehicle Access Plan.
We also note that the proposed new dwelling presents a gable end to the street which is the opposite orientation to the other housing that makes up the existing street scene.

BOZEAT PARISH COUNCIL
TRAINING REPORT – BUDGETING AND FINANCIAL CONTROL – September 2019 APPENDIX E
The Clerk attended a training course organized by NorthantsCALC on 2nd July 2019 at Moulton Community Centre. There were 16 Clerks and Councillors in attendance.
The trainer was Steve Parkinson, CEO of the Parkinson Partnership LLP.
The trainer outlined the key duties of local councils relating to managing their budgets and finances, and the duties of the Responsible Financial Officer.
Area to note:- if grants are received for S106/CILL agreements, a separate budget for each grant received was recommended.
Budgeting – the trainer outlined how to set out budgets and recommended that a contingency fund be set up containing a percentage of the annual precept, and that councils retain reserves that would cover no more than 2 years’ precept.
The trainer recommended that the RFO produces a Half-Yearly report providing details of monies left in each budget.
When discussing what to include in budgets, it would appear that the system this council uses is more detailed than necessary – is the council happy with the current system? Councils need to have regard to the impact of inflation, pay awards etc.
The budget must be set prior to the council deciding how much to request on the precept.
The trainer suggested that councils should publish their precept and any reports for transparency purposes – does this council wish to do this?
Financial Controls – the council must ensure that it has assessed risks and identified areas where controls are needed, controls may be to detect or deter fraud. Internal controls could include regular inspection of bank reconciliations, division of duties [more than one signatory on accounts etc]; regular financial reports; approval of salaries by full council etc.
All monies received should be banked promptly and any outstanding debts should be monitored monthly.
Bank reconciliation should be performed monthly and copies made available to members.
Internal controls should be reviewed on an annual basis and before completing the Annual Return [audit form] – recommend that this be added to the agenda for the Annual Finance Meeting.
The trainer outlined the requirements of the Annual Return and answered questions from those present.
Savings and Investments – the trainer reported that there is some guidance issued by CLG under section 15(1)(a) Local Government Act 2003, which was effective from 1 April 2010. He recommended that all councils create a Savings and Investments Policy – does this council wish to do this?
Borrowing – this section related to how and when councils can and should borrow funds. Report created by Lyndis Payne 23rd August 2019
