COMMITTEE REPORTS
1 . Planning
Cllr. Coslett reported that there is 1 planning application for consideration:
PL/2024/08709 FULL PLANNING APPLICATION for 2 four bedroom houses at land at corner of Pigott Close/A345
Parish Council Comments: Object
The Netheravon Parish Council Planning Committee held a meeting on 5th March, 2024 to discuss it’s approach to the appeal by the applicant to the refusal of application PL/2022/08709. This was for the construction of 2 detached 4-bed houses on the land at Pigott Close. Wiltshire Council refused permission, and the applicant appealed to the Planning Inspectorate. During the process the applicant resubmitted plans, and that action has allowed NPC and residents to comment on the resubmitted plans. The new plans were not of high quality and would not pass the standard required were Wiltshire Council to consider the application rather than the Planning Inspectorate. Despite all the alterations to the original plans NPC strongly objected to the development direct to the Planning Inspector. Details of the objection are available from the clerk.

CORRESPONDENCE
- An email has been received from a resident of Pigott Close concerning parking in Pigott Close. The resident is worried that people are parking too close to the junction with the A345 which will be much worse when the development is being built. The resident also points out that parking generally along Pigott Close is a problem.
- It was RESOLVED to reply saying that if more residents come to the Parish Council with complaints about parking they can facilitate a meeting with residents to talk about some resolution with the difficult parking. It was also RESOLVED that the Parish Council would not support yellow lines anywhere in the village.
- All emails have been forwarded to Councillors for their information
