2 Cllr Mrs C. Reynolds referred to a local petition in support of a light controlled crossing in Broad street, which now had more than 100 signatures. Cllr B. Larcombe enquired about progress with any measures to introduced priority for vehicles ascending lower Silver Street. The deputy town clerk confirmed that he had not heard further from DCC on this particular matter since the site meeting on 28 January He undertook to follow up. Cllr B. Larcombe also asked about the latest position with the possible (re)introduction of double yellow lines on the north-western quadrant of the roundabout at the junction with Silver Street, Clappentail Lane and Uplyme Road. He questioned whether this would require the making of a traffic regulation order because he suspected that there had been parking restrictions in this location which had never been repainted subsequent to the resurfacing of the road in that location. It was agreed that in the first instance, the deputy town clerk should make enquiries of DCC about the existence of any historic traffic regulation orders in this location. 15/140/PH Planning Applications Planning applications were considered in accordance with details circulated, a copy of which is attached to the minutes of this meeting.

3 of the planning application. He expressed some concern about the planning permission granted by West Dorset District Council (WDDC) in that it extended approximately 2 years beyond the expiry of the site-wide permission. It also raised the issue of whether individual units on Monmouth Beach required separate permissions and, if so, which of the units this arrangement might apply to. WD/D/16/ Cllr Mrs M. Ellis questioned the process by which WDDC had refused permission for a dwelling at Cobb Road. The town council had unanimously supported the application and members had noted that it would re-instate the historic street scene and replace a long-demolished property. Members were generally concerned that the decision may have been made by an officer without reference to committee; despite the decision being at odds with the strong views of the local council. The deputy town clerk was requested to seek clarification from WDDC about how they dealt with such applications and what general policies might apply in such circumstances. 15/144/PH Correspondence from West Dorset District Council regarding planning matters The correspondence was noted. 15/145/PH Exempt Business There was no exempt business at this meeting The meeting closed at 8.00pm PH-08/03/16-3 -
