        A G E N D A</strong>
    <br />
        1. Apologies for absence.
    <br />
        2. To consider, amend as agreed by the Council and approve the minutes of the meeting
    of
    <br />
        3. Declarations of Interest: Members are invited to declare any personal or prejudicial
        interest relating to any agenda item at this stage in the meeting, but may do so
        also at any time during the meeting, if they become aware they may have such an
        interest in a subject being discussed.
    <br />
        4. Planning matters including any applications received in time for the meeting
        : 
        None to date
    <br />
    To discuss the following resolution/document by Cllr R Roberts: "Development control
    in Holne. DNPA Local Plan HS1(1) refers and national policy on certificates of lawfulness.
    In order to retain and increase rented accommodation it is resolved that: 1. The
    test of separate accommodation/ dwelling shall include all of the following: separate…..
    council tax , heating, lighting, access, parking, front door… and no intervening
    doors, passage etc..and preferably a solid party wall with no flying freeholds and
    a separate T.V. license. 2. When considering an extension, including conservatory,
    the council will recommend a section 106 agreement be entered into that ensures
    that any part of the dwelling so extended shall remain as ancillary accommodation
    in connection with the residential use of the dwelling house and will not be sold
    off or let as a separate dwelling.
    <br />
    Note. This somewhat clumsy method is the ONLY way that the planning system can ensure
    that Holne will continue to provide a mix of rented and for sale houses. Most houses
    and farms in the parish can provide, and many are providing, areas allocated for
    rent. If these areas are separate by the definition above they can be sold away
    from the house or farm and there is NO WAY the planning system can keep them for
    rent. This resolution should be discussed in full in public so that the parish is
    made aware of the real danger of Holne becoming a community of market housing only."
