19-20/46 Planning applications:
19/02494/PLF – Mr & Mrs Paul Bakes - Erection of single storey extension with external and internal alterations to allow conversion of detached garage to self-contained annex at
3 East Street, Leven - Leven parish council has no objections to the application but would ask that the following condition is part of the planning application: 'The additional living accommodation shall not be occupied at any time other than for the purpose ancillary to the residential use of the dwelling known as 3 East Street, Leven'.
19/02614/PLF – Leven Playing Fields Association - Siting of a shipping container to provide temporary storage facilities at Leven Playing Fields Association, North Street Leven - Leven parish council supports the application in principle however would ask how long the temporary storage facilities are to be in place for. Councillors Macklin and Hilton left the meeting whilst the discussions took place.
19/01710/PLF – Mr & Mrs McFarlane- Erection of 1.82m high fence including trellis following removal of existing 1.5m high hedge at 13 Barley Gate Leven - Leven parish council objects to the planning application as there is no justification to remove a healthy hedge and replace it with a fence. If the hedge was maintained on a regular basis and not left to grow over the pavement then there would be no problems for pedestrians.
Councillors Gateshill and Greenwood joined the meeting at 8:15pm.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council matters:
Whitecross to Leven village: Councillor Gateshill had written to Iain Sugden, East Riding of Yorkshire Council regarding the state of the cycle path near Monks Bridge and the footpath from Whitecross into Leven village. Iain Sugden confirmed that it was not included in highways plans and that the funding would have to come from capital expenditure. This has put the works back to 2020/21 but there is no guarantee that the work will take place. Councillor Greenwood suggested that the parish council apply to Routh Windfarm Community Fund for funding. However, as a footpath is a statutory requirement funding is not allowed. It was suggested that signs are put up along the footpath asking pedestrians to complain directly to East Riding of Yorkshire Council asking for work to be carried out to them.
Humberside Police: The parish council have asked the police to attend a parish council meeting however as, yet they have not turned up. Councillor Gateshill has advised that they do attend the Tickton parish council meetings and will ask them to attend a Leven parish council meeting.
Councillors Gateshill and Greenwood left the meeting at 8:35pm.
19-20/48 Adoption of Financial Regulations policy: This had been circulated to the councillors prior to the parish council meeting. S Nicholson proposed, Miss Richardson seconded, and all were in favour of adopting the policy.
