The latest news from the council
The Council has been very active over the last two months. We have had face to face talks with the Local Authority planning and enforcement team and because much of the discussions concerned the illegal traveller’s encampment on Coleorton Lane, there is little to report because of its sensitive nature. However, Parish Councillors are encouraged that the Local Planning Authority is doing all it can.
The Council has been offered a parcel of land in New Packington to use as allotments. If any one is interested in looking to cultivate this land, please request further details from the Parish Clerk. : clerk@packington.org.uk
Councillors and residents have erected poppies and Tommies to commemorate Armistice Day.
A planning application for a caravan placement on a field in the countryside on Babelake Street was discussed. An objection was approved on the grounds of need and being outside the development boundary. A planning application for stables and tractor store next to 30 Ashby Road was also objected to on the grounds that it would have a negative impact on the village entrance; did not display planning notices; would have access issues making the main road less safe. Also it was deemed to be a very similar application to the original application for a stable and tractor shed on Coleorton Lane.
