LANGFORD & ULTING PARISH COUNCIL

ANNUAL REPORT

2010

Chairman’s Report

Planning - Langford:

Langford Waterworks site: The Planning Inspector allowed both appeals resulting in the site now having planning permission for the original modern design and all B1 uses. The Nursing home plans have been called in and a decision will not be made until after the Parliamentary election on the 6th May. Plans for five houses have also been submitted. Maldon District Council has done its best to accommodate what the parish wants and there is now scope for a small amount of housing in Langford.

 

Planning - Ulting:

This year there have been few planning applications and certainly, nothing very contentious.

 

Highways:

We have now had confirmation that we will receive funds for three Speed Indicator signs, two of which are based in Ulting, the other in the centre of Langford.

Village gateways have been installed on both sides of Langford and on the western approach to Ulting.

We are pressing for a weight limit for lorries on Crouchmans Farm Road. Doe’s have agreed to our suggestion that they contact their delivery firms asking them not to use the lanes in the area.

We are looking into the dangerous parking along Ulting Lane and in front of Brockley Cottages. It may be a question of drawing attention to the danger that this is causing.

 

Village Shop: Business is still quiet but the shop is now open on Saturday mornings.

 

Village sign: The sign at Doe’s of Ulting has been refurbished and we are pleased with the outcome.
