6. PLANNING APPLICATIONS FOR CONSIDERATION
H14-1183-22 – Rose Cottage, Northgate – Outdoor arena and asociated fencing, including drainage system
Comments: This planning application would impact negatively on the immediate neighbours. Pinchbeck Parish Council consider this plan ought to be much more sympathetically designed and planned to take into account and consider the location of the structure and thus place this arena as far away as possible from the immediate neighbours.
There was no further business before the meeting and it therefore concluded at 9.00 p.m.
