Parish Council Comments:
- The Parish Council are concerned about the potential volume of traffic on the two days of filming and would ask that the traffic be managed on this dangerous junction at the top of the hill.
- The Parish Council are concerned about the light pollution from the floodlights which are already on at night in Avon Camp East. The lights are shining directly into Harefield Crescent and so the Parish Counciol would like a condition that the lights are directed away from the houses at Harefield Crescent and East and West Court.
License Application for Dog and Gun
Cllr. Burke explained the application which is to vary the license for the Dog and Gun to include the Function Room which would bring the licensing hours into line with the pub. There was much discussion and concern was expressed that although the licensee assured the Parish Council that the long opening hours would not be used very often – only for special events – they are worried that the neighbours will be disturbed in the early hours of the morning.
It was agreed to write to the Licensing Authority to express concerns. Cllr. Linscer declared an interest and therefore did not vote.
