This session lasted for about one and a quarter hours. The comments and questions regarding this application were made by all in the room, that is: Mountfield Parish Council, Brightling Parish Council, RDC District Councillors and members of the public.
This scheme has reduced for design consideration.
The pumphouse is a critical part of Southern Water’s operation and serves a large population.
Southern Water have taken legal advice and believe the site is “operational” land.
Mr. Dell (Southern Water) committed to engagement by Southern Water by working with MPC/BPC to organise mitigation, to be held in public at regular intervals and would involve some meetings on site.
Southern Water’s contractors also gave a short presentation.
Southern Water and their contractors left the meeting.
Those present agreed generally that Southern Water appeared to be reluctant to engage further with the community and the responses to questions about the lack of consultation had been both surprising and disappointing.
Resolved actions to be taken, Councillor Purdie proposed and Councillor Hardy seconded, the voting was unanimous.
Other agreed actions:
6.1 Planning applications for consideration:
Proposed conversion of garage to habitable accommodation and dormer extension at first floor.
