18-19/137 Planning applications:
19/00170/PLF – Mr R Southwell – Conversion of existing garage to dwelling (retrospective) at The Redwoods, High Stile, Leven - Leven parish council strongly objects to the application. This should go to enforcement and action should be taken. Leven parish council are disappointed to see this as a retrospective application as the applicant would be fully aware that planning permission would have to be applied for.
19/00677/PLF – Mr & Mrs Forbes - Alterations and extensions including erection of single storey extension to side following demolition of detached garage to rear, extension of existing dormer to front and rear, erection of a 1.8m high (post height 1.9m) reducing to 1.2m high (post height 1.3m) timber fence to side and application of render to external walls at 1 Balk Close Leven:
Leven parish council objects to the application on the grounds of:
Objections to the rendering of the property. This is totally out of keeping with surrounding properties. This is a semi-detached property and the rendering would be alien to the next-door property. The roller shutter door is out of keeping with other properties. Objections to the proximity of the extension to the front boundary.
18/04103/PLF – Miss Tracy Fletcher – Erection of 2.4m high fence to north and east boundary and a 2.1m high fence adjoining garage and 2.1m high fence and gate adjoining dwelling (retrospective application) (amended plans and description) at 8 The Bryants, Leven:
Leven parish council strongly objects to the application. There has been total disregard to the neighbouring properties. It is out of character having such a high fence and if it was allowed it would set a precedent to other properties.
18-19/138 Planning decisions - None

A letter had been received from HART asking if the parish council would consider donating towards HART transport.
