South Cambridgeshire District Council are working hard to support local small and medium customers facing difficulties in businesses in our district. They have created a survey so that they can gather as much information about local businesses as possible, to find out about how they are faring during Covid19 and their plans on reopening.

Due to the Covid-19 situation all meetings of the Parish Council have been cancelled.

Although the Parish Council is not able to meet, councillors will still look at planning applications as they come in. Any planning application received from the District Council during this period of lock down will be publicised in the normal way – on the PC noticeboard, the PC web site and by email circulation to parishioners. Notices will also be publicised at the location of the application by the District Council planning department.

Parishioners are reminded that they may make their views known to the Parish Council and the District Council. Details of the on -line link to an application on the District Council’s planning portal at which comments may be registered is included in the notification of every application. Comments which you wish to make known to the Parish Council should be emailed to the Parish Clerk clerk@elsworthvillage.com

Deadlines set by the District Council for the receipt of comments need to be noted by those wishing to make representation of their views. Copies for the Parish Council need to be received at least 7 clear days before that deadline.

Works to Trees in a Conservation Area.
Local Planning Authority: South Cambridgeshire District Council
Proposal: 4 x hybrid poplars at positions 1, 2, 3 and 4, non- native species all to be dismantled to 6ft. Trees 1 and 2 are of significant existing size in close proximity to listed building (tree 1 overhangs the building) and will continue to get much larger. Trees 3 and 4 provide excessive shading and water shadowing in the rear corner of the garden which is discouraging growth of new plants in the underlying beds and is discouraging the growth of both planted and self seeded trees. Trees not to be replaced as there are numerous smaller nearby trees both on the property as indicated on the plan and for trees 3 and 4 beside the trees in the nature reserve (self seeded). Removal of the hybrid poplars will allow the remaining existing trees to grow into the space taken by the poplars without the considerable light shading they currently provide.
