  • Despite not appearing in any published BPC agenda or minutes, BPC is noted in the Delegate Report. stating:
    • "The Parish Council recommends refusal for the following reasons – Too close to the river – the lake previously formed part of the river years ago and has now been separated by a bank – would have a detrimental effect on the wild life – and is over development"

Previous BPC Apr 19 response: to 19/P/0427/FUL: "Application to vary condition 2 and remove condition 5 on application 17/P/1502/F ( change of use of land from camp site to the siting of 40no. static and touring caravans ) to allow a change to the approved layout" :

"...Regarding this as part of the extended holiday/caravan site off Bridgwater and Accommodation Roads, concern was raised that this seemed to be moving towards a ‘12 month residency’ site. Councillors had visited the site and viewed it from Purn Hill. The site is an eyesore – given that Bleadon is a ‘tucked-in’ village it is ironic that the static caravans/mobile homes/lodges are so visible. There are 79 units visible. It was AGREED TO OBJECT to the application. It was also AGREED TO WRITE TO NSC to express concern about the piecemeal approach to development in this area of Bleadon which is outside the settlement boundary. NSC are able to take enforcement action but need to be alerted promptly." (BPC Apr 19 Min 321.6) {See BOB Note]

Previous BPC Oct 17 response to 17/P/1502/F, " Change of use of land involving the siting of 90 static and touring caravans’ (as initially proposed) to 40 static and touring caravans". BPC published their 09 Oct 17 minutes to residents on 20 Oct 17, the same day as NSC had granted consent to the application, stating:

"It was agreed that the initial decision and comments of no objection to the planning application ...  still stands" (BPC Oct 17 Min 300.13)

This was despite the applicatin involving a SNCI and a PROW?

NSC Descion Notice - GRANTED and Delegated Report (BPC Oct 17 Min 300.13)

Previous BPC July 17 response to "17/P/1502/F Land at Purn Holiday Village, Bridgwater Road, Bleadon, BS24 0AN

Proposed change of use of land from camp site to the siting of 90no. static and touring caravans. It was unanimously resolved not to object to the planning application but for the developer to be asked to contribute to the levy for the general improvement of traffic issues likely to be caused by the development particularly at the junction of the A370." (BPC July17 Min 297.8)

An eyesore, already over development and removal of trees and hedgerow, Highly visible from hill and lit up like a Christmas tree at night. Prone to flooding Any more units will add to the clutter.

I am totally against this due to the overall beautiful view, the wildlife on the edge of the lake the existing flooding which occurs which is a big problem on Riverside due to poor drainage.which is an on going problem, I feel this site is becoming far too big as it is spoiling Greenbelt land.
