18. APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE

19. DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST
Councillors Mrs R Davis and Mrs L Hingley declared a non prejudicial interest in relation to the High Street as it is a Conservation Area.
20. MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS MEETINGS
The Minutes of the meeting held on 4th January 2012, having been circulated in advance of the current meeting, were approved and signed as a true record of the proceedings at that meeting.
21. MATTERS ARISING FROM PREVIOUS MINUTES
21.1 Signs on Hyde Lane Junction.
It was noted that the signs are still being placed on the junction with Hyde Lane: the County Council and the KSCA have been sent a letter requesting that they ask the fair organisers not to put their signs on this junction as it causes an obstruction for drivers.
21.2 Parking on yellow lines by Potters Cross
It was noted that the Crossing Patrol person should be recording the names of drivers that obstruct his view when he is trying to cross the school children over the road. The parents are parking on the double yellow lines and pavements causing visibility problems in the area. The Clerk reported that the Crossing Patrol Person is taking photographs and she has also taken pictures of the problem and forwarded them to Steve Poyser at the District Council.
It was noted that within the Localism Bill, Local Authorities can take over the running of a service if it is thought to be unsatisfactory; the Chairman asked the District Councillors to look into this to see if it would be feasible for the Parish Council to be temporarily responsible for this service.
22. POLICE INSPECTOR DONNA GIBBS TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ON POLICING MATTERS RELATING TO KINVER
Inspector Gibbs introduced herself to the Council; she has taken over from Inspector Shannahan. She has spent half of her police career in the Staffordshire force, so is well aware of the makeup of the area.
There are several fundamental changes taking place in the force, a summary of some of these is below:-
- Admin support / call handling – a new number has been introduced 101, the use of which is for non-emergency crime. Callers are given appointment times for the police to call and deal with their enquiry. This should be within 2 days of reporting the incident.
7/12
- Custody teams are now in place, who take the prisoner into custody and the arresting officer is then released quickly back on duty.
- A review of the police stations is taking place; the officers are wanted out on the streets, not in police stations, therefore several stations have closed and officers are working out of “out posts”. These can be parts of schools, libraries, an office, but most important is the central location to an area. Kinver station will be closed, but not until an out post is found.
- PC Baker has currently been moved to Cannock as due to an on-going injury he is working on restricted duties. PCSO Karleen Salmon is working at Codsall. By March we should have a replacement PCSO and a Community Officer back in the village, but for now the area is being covered by 2 officers from Wombourne. This is the plan for the next 12 months. It was noted that the longer term plans were still being finalised.
- If we are to have 2 officers, it was mentioned that they should work opposite shifts otherwise it is like only having 1 officer on duty, this was noted.
- The force has 45 special constables and these are tasked where they are required; some of these officers have been targeting Kinver as there has been an increase in antisocial behaviour.
- In the police stats that are issued, over a third of all antisocial behaviour takes place in or around the KSCA. This is being dealt with by the Joint Operations Group which links agencies together to look at the bigger picture of why there is a problem there, and how to deal with it; input is not just from the police perspective. It was noted this would be a good location for an Out Post for the officers. The Crime Reduction Officer will come to look at the area and give his advice.
- The police stats we receive do not tell the whole picture, and we will be receiving information in a different format in the future, i.e. attending PC Meetings if appropriate or via the newsletters.
23. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
Standing orders were raised for members of the public to speak
Mr Ralph Wilson addressed the Council, and apologised for his outburst at the previous meeting. He raised the following matters:-
- He assured members that his attendance at the previous meeting was purely spur of the moment following the incident relating to the ambulance.
- He had been to visit the shops in the High Street individually to ask 2 questions:– I would like Kinver High Street to:- a) Remain the same as it is today b) Have the pinch points and yellow lines removed from the centre of the village. The response he received were 1 in favour for a, and 29 in favour of b.
- In his opinion the speeding had been made worse with the installation of the pinch points and the local Fire Service had not been consulted and was unaware of the High Street make over until it was implemented.
- Since Christmas there have been 10 tyres damaged to date, and over 70+ since the scheme was installed.
- The parking in the High Street before always acted as a traffic calming measure and this should be reintroduced.
- The shop keepers that he had spoken to reported their takings were down 30% since the road was altered.
Standing orders were reinstated.
24. BEST KEPT VILLAGE COMPETITION – PRESENTED BY CLLR MRS L HINGLEY
Cllr Mrs L Hingley gave the following report:
“Planning so far:- I have Contacted village organisations to see if they can support the competition. Twenty so far are very interested. I have recruited the assistance of David Gidding, David Bills and the Kinver Rotary Club of whom I value their knowledge of the past competitions we have entered.
8/12
I have also visited Foley Infants, Brindley Heath and Edgecliff schools and spoken to the Head Teachers about the poster competitions and they are keen to be involved on the project
I have met with the chairman of the Best Kept Village Competition, Mr. John Perry, to update me on the B.K.V and of any changes that might have taken place since we last entered in 2007. He was very helpful and supportive and was very pleased to hear that the BKV Group were interested in entering the competition.
FUTURE:- I will be convening a meeting with representatives of the local organisations to see how they can help. I have a map of the village and with the help of a few colleagues will find the hot spots that will need litter picking and tidying up, and of course liaising with the Parish Council maintenance men and Jenny so that we are not doing their work. This will be team work where the community will be able to get involved.
THE VISION OF THE HIGH STREET IS TO HAVE HANGING FLOWER BASKETS ON BOTH SIDES FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND ENCOURAGE THE TRADERS TO LOOK AFTER THEM USING THE EXISTING CHRISTMAS TREE BRACKETS. AND TO ENCOURAGE THE PUBS AND RESIDENTS TO ENTER THE B.K.V FRONTAGE COMPETITION.
To encourage tourism back to the village is very important to sustain our future businesses.”
Members thanked Cllr Mrs Hingley for taking on this project, and agreed to support the organisation with the entrance fee.
25. TO DISCUSS THE PROPOSED COMMITTEE STRUCTURE FOR THE NEW LEISURE AND AMENITIES COMMITTEE
Proposed structure of the agendas of the new Committee
The Clerk reported that the proposed agendas were listed as appendix 1 to these minutes; the first will be for the first meeting when receiving the 2 sets of minutes, the second to be used thereafter.
The Committee perhaps should meet every 2 months as opposed to quarterly as at present, to take into account the combined meetings agendas.
The meetings could take place in January, March, May, July, September and November. This would be 6 meetings per annum.
The original terms of reference are below along with a proposed combination of the 2 Committees to the new Leisure and Amenities Committee.
Chairing the meetings.
There can only be one chairman at a meeting, but other members can have areas of responsibility that they lead on when being discussed at meetings. Therefore, the Chairman could be Cllr JK Hall and Vice Chairman Cllr Mrs L Hingley (or vice versa), the Chairman could lead on the areas of interest to him as the Rights of Ways etc., and the Vice Chairman could lead on the other agenda items.
It would be unprofessional for the Chairman just to lead on the items they are interested in and leave the meeting. They would need to remain in the chair and take the whole meeting, and introduce the items as this is the role of the Chairman.
Original Terms of Reference for the 2 Committees
Environment and Recreation Committee
The Parish Council has set the following terms of reference for the Committee –
9/12
- The Committee shall be an Advisory Committee without powers to make resolved decisions.
- It shall have a maximum of 3 co-opted members of the public as members of the Committee with full voting rights, these to be elected at the first AGM and remain on the Committee for the life of that Council (4 years)
- The Committee is to address issues of the maintenance, management and development of the existing play area and for child/youth recreational facilities and to develop, and where appropriate, manage and maintain schemes for enhancement of the local environment.
- Number on Committee – Chairman of Council (Ex-Officio), Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Committee and up to 7 other Councillors.
Rights of Way Committee

- The Committee is to address issues relating to the Public Rights of Way in the Parish of Kinver and liaise with SCC ROW Dept.
- Number on Committee – Chairman of Council (Ex-Officio), Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Committee and up to 7 other Councillors.
Proposed terms of reference for the new Leisure and Amenities Committee
- The Committee shall be an Advisory Committee without powers to make resolved decisions.
- It shall have a maximum of 3 co-opted members of the public as members of the Committee with full voting rights, these to be elected at the first AGM and remain on the Committee for the life of that Council (4 years)

26. COUNTY / DISTRICT COUNCILLORS TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ON ANY MATTERS RELEVANT TO THE PARISH
Councillor Edwards reported on the following items:-
- The planning application for the village square was approved last evening at the District Council. The planned start date is mid February and completion by the 31st March. The benches and cycle racks will be installed in the High Street during this time
- The proposed changes to the Core Strategy will be coming out for consultation shortly.
- The Police Station in Codsall has been bought by the District Council, the reason for the purchase was that it houses the CCTV centre, and to move that would have been very expensive. The remaining offices will be rented out.
- The County are trialling a new gritting system this year, that leaves a layer of solution on the road, so it is more effective than traditional grit, and therefore less is required. This in time will save money.
- Back Church Hill has been resurfaced.
- No council tax increase will take place this year for Kinver residents.
10/12
- The signs should be up shortly for the weight limit on Windsor Holloway.
- New speed limits are in place near the Crown at Iverley.
27. REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN
The Chairman thanked Councillor Mrs Rogers for attending the presentation evening at Edgecliff High School on her behalf to present the Millennium Cup at such short notice.
It is hopeful Mr Hale will be returning shortly to work, initially on light duties.
The Chairman reported that Mrs Joan Barlow, was in hospital at the moment, and she had sent a card on behalf of members of Council. Members sent their best wishes to Mrs Barlow.
The Rev David Blackburn will be retiring at the end of February and Councillors thanked him for his services to the village.
28. CLERK’S REPORT
The Clerk reported on the following matters –
28.1. South Staffs SUSSED Summer programme
The District is asking Parish Councils to look at providing vouchers for activities running at existing Leisure Centres. Kinver does not have a Leisure Centre; our nearest Centre being at Wombourne. The Council are asking at this stage for levels of interest and for Parish Councils to part fund / fund the summer scheme. It was noted that Council had agreed previously that this scheme was no longer viable in the village, and in this form would not be practical for Kinver residents to travel to Wombourne Leisure Centre to use vouchers. Therefore the above request was noted.
28.2. Alcohol ban area signs
We have been asked by a member of the public if we can have more signs advertising the alcohol ban area. At present they are on all the entrances into the village. The Clerk reported that this had been raised as an issue as a non local officer had been called to the area and did not know about the alcohol ban.
This situation has since been rectified. It was agreed that the Clerk ask Mr Wood to undertake a survey of where the signs are currently located, and the Clerk contact the District Council to ask for some more signs if any are missing.
28.3. Parking enforcement
The Clerk has requested that the Parking Wardens target the village as requested, and also attend at school time particularly outside Brindley Heath Junior School as the yellow lines are being parked on every day.
In addition she has asked the District Council if the CCTV cameras in the High Street could be used for enforcing parking; the answer is no. The reason for this is a CCTV camera has to be specially identified and authorised to become a parking enforcement camera.
28.4. Car Park, Legion Drive
The Clerk has chased the District Council to ask when the car park is to be resurfaced and landscaped. She has been informed that it is the County’s responsibility to put this area right, and she has flagged this up with the County. It was requested that Councillor B Edwards investigates the matter and updates Mr John Commins on the recent history of the car park.
11/12
28.5. Brockleys Walk, Kinver, Meadow Area
The above area is being reseeded and mulched to clear it and encourage the wild grasses to grow. This is currently taking place.
28.6 Publications For Inspection And Note
Pensions Committee information from SCC
The Clerk Magazine
Churchill and Blakedown Papers
Police stats – It was noted that there is someone riding up and down the alley ways by Compton Close. This has been previously raised with the County Council, and it was Resolved that the Clerk write to the County asking for some no horse or bike riding signs to be put on these paths.

MINUTES OF A MEETING OF THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE OF KINVER PARISH COUNCIL
HELD ON 15TH FEBRUARY 2012 AT 95 HIGH STREET, KINVER. ______________________________________________________________________________
Present: Councillors: Mrs R Davis – Chairman (Ex-Officio), Mrs M Rogers, DM Wiseman, JK Hall, Mrs L Hingley, J Cutler.
1. APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE
Apologies for absence were received from Cllrs Mrs ED Ray, HH Williams, and MR Davies.
D Hadlington (Vice Chairman) was not in attendance at the meeting.
2. DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST
Cllrs Mrs R Davis and Mrs L Hingley declared a non -prejudicial interest in planning applications 12/0035/FUL, 12/0030/FUL and 12/0031/CAC for being in the Green Belt or Conservation Area.
3. MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS MEETING
The minutes of the meeting held on 25th January 2012 were approved and signed as a true record of the proceedings of that meeting.
4. MATTERS ARISING FROM PREVIOUS MINUTES
The following matter was reported:-
4.1 Further correspondence relating to the garden and house elevations of 35 Church View Gardens
4.2 Notification of issues relating to FP3.
At the Rights of Way Committee meeting, a member of the Committee raised a problem that they had experienced with crossing in front of the gun club during a walk. The Gun Club should stop shooting whilst they walk through and have Marshalls on either end of the path.
These measures were not in place and they carried on shooting whilst everyone walked through.
This has been reported as a breach of their planning permission and is being looked into.
5. PLANNING APPLICATIONS
The following planning applications were considered and it was agreed to Recommend to the South Staffordshire District Council as stated below for each application: -
11/00805/FUL 4 White Hill, Kinver
Erection of detached dormer bungalow with basement garage
Recommend Refusal on the grounds that:-
- There is insufficient amenity space left for the original dwelling if the proposed dormer bungalow is allowed to be built as per PPG H17 according to the site map supplied.
- It is over development of the site.
- We have concerns over the parking arrangements, there is 1 space marked which appears to be allocated on one plan for the original property and on another plan for the new proposed dormer bungalow. Therefore parking arrangements are not clear on the plans.
12/00030/FUL 2 Stone Lane, Kinver
12/0031/CAC First floor rear extension, 2 no splay bay windows to front elevation, extension of rear canopy over lounge, replacement of all windows, demolition of existing garage (to be replaced with 3m x 2m timber shed), demolition of existing conservatory and provision of gates to side access.
Recommend Approval subject to the Conservation Officer being satisfied with the proposed windows and gates.
12/00035/FUL 1 Ashwood Field House Farm, Kidderminster Rd, Ashwood
Single storey kitchen extension to side / rear
Recommend Approval subject to complying with Green Belt regulations
12/12/00055/FUL 80 Meddins Lane, Kinver
2 storey rear extension
Recommend Approval, although we do have concerns that the extension may block light to property number 78.
12/00075/COU 19 The Stewpony, Stourton
Proposed garage conversion and alterations to existing to form self contained one bed annex
Recommend Refusal on the grounds that the application states that they currently have 4 parking spaces, and the proposed number of total spaces will also be 4, therefore 0 loss of spaces. However if the garage is converted into a dwelling then there will be a loss of 2 spaces, and the planning application does not show where the 4 parking spaces will be located.
We would be prepared to reconsider the application when this situation has been clarified.
12/00084/VAR 68 Hyperion Road, Stourton
Removal of condition 15 of 11/00760/FUL (obscure glazing in north and south elevation windows)
Recommend Approval, if the removal of the condition is acceptable to the District Council who originally placed the condition on the planning approval for the site.
6. PLANNING DECISIONS REACHED BY SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE DISTRICT COUNCIL
The planning decisions are attached as appendix 1 to these minutes.
7. CONSULTATION ON POTENTIAL GYPSIES AND TRAVELLERS

11/01031/FUL 10 Castle Street, Kinver App. Rec App.
Proposed front extension
** It was agreed to send a letter to the District Council to ask if the situation relating to the fence around the site could be clarified as we understand it is a temporary fence for the duration of the building works. Once the site is complete will an application be forth coming for the fence or will it be dismantled?
However the Chairman progressed this issue with the District Council late last year and it is mentioned in the minutes of 3rd November 2011. A copy of the exchanged emails is below:-

Good Morning Again
I am forwarding my original email for which I have not yet received a response.
I have looked at the original plans for the old Legion Building and find that an 1800mm high weld mesh fence is marked on the plan but a post and rail fence with photo is mentioned on the statement. As one of the conditions for approval is for the boundary to be to planning office satisfaction.
I would be grateful for clarification on the reasons for the changes made to the fence. it is of particular concern as the site is partly in the Conservation Area and wholly within the buffer zone that has been introduced to protect the boundaries of the Conservation Area.
Regards
Rachel Davis

Hi Rachael
Sorry for the delay in replying to you.
I understand that the fencing that has currently been erected is in connection with the development of the site, i.e. construction rather than the completed development. There are conditions attached to the consent which require details of the boundary treatment around the site to be submitted to the LPA for approval.
