Any Other Business Minutes: Advertisement boards – Dans Lane
A resident expressed concerns over large display/advertising boards which have appeared on verges on Dans Lane. They are believed to relate to the new business development at Desford (former Caterpillar land).
Cllr. Maggie Wright believes that one may be situated in Blaby District rather than neighbouring councils and has advised residents that she will look into this to see if any planning permission has been sought.
Possible Red Light Pollution – Desford Crossroads
Residents are concerned about the red-light pollution that is emitted throughout the night from the new building situated on the Desford Crossroads petrol station and Greggs outlet. The residents explained that the lights are situated at the back of the building causing lighting over the land throughout the night.
Cllr. Maggie Wright advised residents that this is a 24/7 service so some lights may be expected to remain on through the night, however Cllr. Wright will check with Blaby District Council officers to see if any conditions are in place for the building.
Upcoming Planning Application - Oaklands Holiday lodges
The Chairman raised concerns in regards to the planning application for 10 holiday lodges and advised that she would address the committee once this application reaches Planning Committee.
