We are supportive of this application.
It meets Policy 2 in the Neighbourhood Plan: Design of new developments.
Specifically:
e. Take advantage of the local topography, landscape, trees and plants, wildlife habitats, existing buildings and site orientation.
g. Car parking should be integrated within the landscaping of the scheme to minimise its visual impact, but it should also serve its intended users and encourage natural surveillance.
034/21 Reference 142265: Planning application to erect additional unit with use classification E(g), B2 and B8. Plot 7 – Land adjacent to Unit 4, Saxilby Enterprise Park, Saxilby, Lincoln, LN1 2ZB.

To note and agree:
036/21 Any actions regarding the Methodist Church sale in response to a resident’s email
The Methodist Church is in the Neighbourhood Development Plan as a heritage asset, but not designated. It will be a shame to see this asset go from the village due to its history in the village, but unfortunately the Parish Council is not in any position to take it on. We would be happy to discuss this with the resident who enquired.
037/21 To contact ACIS over 55 Management Company to get more information of responsibilities within the development
Cllr Crump declared a personal interest as a resident of this development.
It was confirmed that there are separate management companies for Acis over 55’s, Lindum and Taylor Wimpey properties.
It was resolved to contact the Acis management company to request a meeting in the first instance.
038/21 To contact West Lindsey District Council regarding the process for applying for Tree Preservation Orders
It was resolved for the Clerk to pull off available information from WLDC website.
039/21 To receive an update of the flooding/block dykes/drainage problems we have been made aware of
An old map was shared, which clearly shows the dykes either side of fields 272 and 269, before the houses between Mill Lane and the High street were built. It is likely that some sections of the dykes have subsequently been filled in by property owners. Unfortunately, the dykes re the responsibility of the landowners and do not fall under LCC or the Parish Council’s responsibility.
It was resolved for the Clerk to forward on the map to County Councillor Jackie Brockway and ask for an update with the issue. Cllr J Willox agreed to highlight the line of the dykes on a recent satellite image.
