Planning Officer – Lauren Cripps

Deadline for Comments – 30^th May 2023

Singleton and Charlton Parish Council Comment – We have studied this application and associated documents and are pleased to add our support for this application. Our only suggestion would be to include some low level planting on the sides visible from the museum grounds, to reflect the kind of mixed native hedging that can be seen around many of the exhibits in the rural areas of the museum.

Thatch Cottage, Singleton

Single storey garden room

Planning Officer – Jemma Frankland

Deadline for Comments – 11^th November 2024

Singleton and Charlton Parish Council Comment – The majority have no objections. However, a question regarding the longevity of the roof light’s automated blind had come forth. Is there a guarantee that its lifespan will last as long as the building? If not, is the roof light necessary?

Notification of intention to fell 1 Arbrutus tree

Deadline for Comments – 2^nd January 2024

Singleton and Charlton Parish Council Comment – We support the application in that clearly something needs to be done to this particular tree.
