- 18/01719/FULLS – Grain buildings Forest of Bere estate – change of use from agricultural buildings to light industry, office and storage – local residents had expressed serious concern at this proposal which committee members supported; in particular, the reliance on passing places for vehicles which had been part of the approved plan for Forest Extra but which had never materialised, the inability of the authorities to police access to ensure only approved routes were used and the potential increase in traffic flow in this very rural environment. By majority decision, the committee objected to this proposed plan with the rider that if approved the installation of adequate passing places should be mandatory and installed before any building work commenced.
