Planning Committee North Luffenham Parish Council.

Planning applications are made to the planning department of Rutland County Council and any that may affect North Luffenham are passed on to the Parish Council. The Parish Council cannot reject an application but it is a statutory consultee and can either support, object or make no comment on the application. The decision on the planning application is made by Rutland County Council but may well be influenced by views of the Parish Council or members of the public as local knowledge is of importance in their decision.

Members of the public may view planning applications online at: www.rutland.gov.uk/planning where support or objection and comments may be made. Comments can also emailed to planning@rutland.gov.uk but can also be made by post or in person. Comments must be made within 21 days of the application being posted.

The Planning Committee posts each application on the North Luffenham website when it is received and discusses each application. In order to reach a decision members of the committee may discuss with the applicant and neighbours affected. The committee in most cases is able to reach a decision but on occasions, for a contentious or major application, the Parish Council as a whole will be involved.

The planning committee would welcome queries, comments or advice concerning applications. Please contact Tim Smith by email: tim.smith2818@btinternet.com or phone 01780 360083.

We’ve got a great film to start off the autumn season (& today does feel seriously like autumn – perfect for thinking of a cosy night watching a great film): Far From the Madding Crowd.  As I shall be away next week, I’ve been to see it and thought it was really good.

Usual time and place: second Wednesday of every month in Uppingham Town Hall, doors open at 7pm for a 7.30 start.  You can either get the £5 tickets on the door or in advance from the Falcon (but we’ve never turned anyone away yet!).  We will do our usual homemade nibbles, but do bring your own plus a bottle of anything that appeals and maybe a cushion or two (though the moulded chairs are pretty OK).

We will tell you what we’ve got coming up for the next few months – all good ones!  Have a great evening, and I’ll catch up with you come October.  Susie

Ever wanted to find out more about YOGA and have a little go???

Well now is your chance – and what’s more it’s totally free! Next weekend I’ll be putting on a FREE HALF HOUR TALK with some simple demonstrations plus a FREE TRIAL CLASS especially for people who just want to have a little go to see if it works for them. The talk begins at 10.00 followed by the 1 hour class beginning at 10.30. This will take place at Ryhall Village Hall on Saturday 5th September and at Tinwell Village Hall on Sunday 6th September. Booking is essential due to space. Please email deb@do-yoga.co.uk to book in either for the Talk or the Trial Class – or why not come for both?

The Prince’s Countryside Fund – Autumn Round to Open to UK on 7 September

The Prince’s Countryside Fund was established to support the sustainability and protection of farms and rural communities throughout the UK. The aim of the funding is to have a long-term positive impact on rural communities, helping those that live and work there to sustain the countryside by tackling key rural issues.

The Fund is available to not-for-profit organisations, charities, Social Enterprises, Community Interest Companies, Companies Limited by Guarantee, and Unincorporated Associations in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Funding is for a maximum of three years and for a maximum grant of £50,000 per project.

Projects must focus on at least one of the following countryside issues:

*       Thriving Rural Communities – projects that provide innovative solutions to deliver assets and services that keep rural communities together and develop a more sustainable rural economy ie, empowering communities to provide village services or create business hubs and employment for local people.
*       Rural Livelihoods – projects that focus on developing stronger, more sustainable farm and rural enterprises with the aim of halting the decline of the rural economy, ie providing rural businesses with support and advice or supporting farmer led initiatives.
*       Farmers of the Future – projects that help improve skills and increase opportunities of taking up rural careers, in particular in farming, with the aim of remaining within and contributing to the rural economy, ie training opportunities and apprenticeship schemes, inspiring and enabling new entrants to consider a career in farming.

The fund is expected to open on 7 September 2015 and close on 8 October 2015.
