Observations – Impact on character of area, in open countryside, with proposed
dwelling being a substantial size dominating the plot. Concerns of change of use
from Railway Meadows which was non-commercial to Woodbine Cottage applying for commercial use on the same plot.
N/089/02089/21 Meadow View, Sea Lane, Huttoft
Amendment to previous application to caravan park to provide 29 caravans &
existing area to be used as a maintenance area.
Observations – Due to increased number of caravans on site, the electricity supply on Sea Lane has been known to be inadequate with periods of total failure, this
requires upgrading to meet demand for extra units. Water pressure is varied & the
extra volume of water for the site would result in residents having reduced
pressure. As no mains sewerage in Sea Lane, this site would require large
environmental approved bio unit.
4392. HUTTOFT CAR TERRACE
Correspondence from LCC that the Portaloos would be removed from the Car Terrace beginning of September. After PC asked for them to remain until opening
of Café, LCC agreed.
P Cllrs were disappointed to learn, on social media, the outcome of a meeting of LCC to discuss parking charges along the coast. Clerk to send letter to Cllr. C Davie, asking that the Parish Council are kept informed.

Correspondence from LCC advising Town/Parish Councils that there is a scheme
called ‘Volunteering Days’ in which they offer labour free but PC’s have to pay for
materials & machinery. Huttoft PC haven’t the funds to pay for this essential work in the village. PC will keep pressing LCC for a footpath on this very busy ‘A’ road.
