TVBC Response Rubble at Georgia Lane • Thank you for the invitation for an officer to attend the Parish Council Meeting on 17 th September, I can confirm that neither myself or my officers will be attending. However, I am happy to provide a response to the points you have raised so that you can relay this at the Parish meeting. • To set out the background in this case, the Local Planning Authority (LPA) has not granted a planning permission for the land owner to create tracks. It has determined a prior notification application and approved details (ref 13/00703/FODN) for the ‘reinstatement of damaged and compacted tracks’ . What this means is that the Local Planning Authority (LPA) confirmed the works are considered to be ‘permitted development’ by virtue of the Town and Country (Permitted Development Order) 1995 (as amended) Part 7. As such the conditions that were attached to this approval have since been found to be unenforceable . This is due to the fact that they should never have been placed on the approval in the first instance. Unfortunately as LPA, we where unaware of this at the time the approval was granted. Whilst I appreciate this has given unrealistic expectations to the many interested parties, we are unable to take any action with regard to the conditions. • The investigation into the alleged importation, storage and spreading of materials is ongoing. The contractor and Landowner have been advised that this material must be removed by a given date, failure of which is likely to result in enforcement action being commenced. My officers are also discussing this with other agencies so that they are aware of what Test Valley Borough Council is doing in this regard. To date I can confirm that the removal of these materials has commenced and can confirm that this is not at the expense of Test Valley Borough Council. • I am aware that Hampshire County Council Waste & Minerals Enforcement Team are currently looking into the matter of the pile of rubble and other materials seen in the woodlands, and further meetings to include site meetings will continue to ensure the removal of all unauthorised material are satisfactorily completed. • Whilst I appreciate the residents of Monxton ongoing concerns with regard to the lorry movements, this is not something my officers can comment on or control. I would advise you to seek the advice of the Hampshire’s Highways team in this regard. • I trust this is of assistance to you. • Paul Jackson • Head of Planning and Building
Forestry Commission Reply 16/11 to MPC Email Thank you for your email asking about the Forestry Commission response to the dumping of rubble at Fox Woods. I confirm that a small team of colleagues has been looking into this issue. We F i e l d , are liaising with the Local Authority and Environment Agency to explore A l i s o options to redress the situation and are also seeking expert advice on the n A d d suitability of the tracks as a forest road and the wider impacts of dumping t o c o n within the wood. t a c t s T o : B R Yours sincerely O O K E R , C a m i l Alison Field l a , M i k e C l e Alison Field u g h C c Area Director : H a r d Forestry Commission i n g , J Southeast and London Area o n a t h a n , R a u , J o n a t h a n ,

Sunnybank • Dave Bateman to provide verbal report
Monxton Neighbourhood Watch Report Monxton Neighbourhood Watch Report • Rural Crime • There has been a drop in reported poaching incidents recently but we have seen a rise in burglaries to non dwellings. These have included thefts of tools and equipment from sheds but vehicles including quad bikes and off road motorcycles have been stolen. Here in Monxton last Tuesday a wallet was stolen from a van parked in a drive. This was posted on Monxton Matters, I hope everybody saw it. • Telephone and Computer Scams • These continue to be a source of annoyance to us all, hopefully that is all they are but anyone who watches programmes on television alerting people to crime of this type will realise that many people fall for these tricks. • Crime Alerts • There have been no alerts since the last meeting. I propose to issue one before Christmas with the usual seasonal warnings and a reminder about the scams. • • David James • 19 th November 2014
