recommends mains wired interconnected smoke detection
Mixed responses to PA 05/00874/B for a farm workers dwelling: Highways no objection, Wildlife conditional no objection, Parish support with conditions, Fire Service recommends smoke detection, but SPMC&E strongly objects due to signage and countryside impact.
Key concern: 3 signs – and very large ones at that – is quite excessive in this ‘countryside’ context
SPMC&E
ObjectionTHE SOCIETY VERY STRONGLY OBJECTS.; I foresee an application to de-restrict the occupancy quite soon.; the sight of new development underway here will be most distressing and will bring discredit onto the Planning Authority.

Conditional No ObjectionWe therefore presume that the AEI and residential policies have been balanced against each other already, resulting in the view that one dwelling is acceptable within this proposed AEI.
Conditions requested: site clearance is done outside of the bird breeding season (March to July)
