Land to the South of Halls Close. 3 members of the public expressed an interest in the recent correspondence from Georgina Nelson (Origin3, writing on behalf of Eagle One Homes) regarding proposals by Eagle One Homes for up to 40 new homes on land to the south of Halls Close in Drayton, located to the east of the Bloor Homes development and to the south of the current Halls Close development. It was noted that the Parish Council objected to planning application P18/V2931/FUL as it is not part of the Neighbourhood Development Plan and outside the built up area of the Village. It was also noted that VWHDC refused Planning Permission but was allowed by appeal. It was agreed to recommend at the next Parish Council Meeting, responding to Georgina Nelson and ask for a location plan.

It was agreed to recommend at the next Parish Council meeting, supporting the Drayton Conservation Area Appraisal with amendments.
12/2022 Agronomist Report. It was noted that the ‘Walnut Meadow Sports Pitch Feasibility Study Report’ finds large amounts of buried waste that will cause issues with draining the sports pitch. It was also noted that there is a meeting with the VWHDC Planning Enforcement on the 14th September 2022.
