P/4925 MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING
RESOLVED: That the Minutes of the Meeting held on 11th November, having been circulated, be approved and signed as a correct record.
P/4926 PLANNING APPLICATIONS
Members considered the planning applications as detailed in Annex A attached.
Planning Application 11/97900 – 47-49 High Street, Ringwood
As two members of the public wished to speak on this application, it was considered first.
The Deputy Town Clerk said that unfortunately there was no Conservation Officer’s report. The applicants, who were present, said that they had tried to ensure their application met the recommendations made by the Officer during the pre-application discussion. The relocation of the interior staircase was necessary for security within the shop sales area. The newel posts and banisters would be retained and stored.
After 40 years in Ringwood, Allum & Sidaway were expanding and would hopefully be employing more staff in future. Structural changes to the roofs at the rear of the property would not have much effect on appearance, as they were aimed at improving security. Members agreed to recommend approval as shown in Annex A attached.
Cllr Rippon-Swaine joined the meeting.
RESOLVED: That the observations summarised in Annex ‘A’ be submitted.
ACTION C Perrens / J Stannard |

RESOLVED: That the Council’s original observation required no further comments or alteration.
