Guilsborough Parish Council
New Policy: Applications for Community Funding

Due to the increasing number of competing requests for community funding received by Guilsborough Parish Council, a new policy has been set out. This applies for the year 2010 – 2011.

The aim of this new policy is to ensure all requests get equal attention and that community funding is handled on a fair and equitable basis.

This policy applies for all funding requests over £100. For requests under £100 please write to the below address with a one page letter outlining your request and how the money will benefit the community of Guilsborough.

NEW POLICY
 
All requests should be submitted in writing, signed and on official letterhead. Requests should be submitted by August 31st. Applicants will be notified in writing of the outcome by November 30th.

All requests must benefit the residents of Guilsborough. If this criterion cannot be satisfied then it is highly unlikely the request will be successful.

The request must contain the following:

1. The specific purpose for which you are requesting the money

2. How this will benefit the Parish of Guilsborough

3. A breakdown of your membership /customers/users showing the % of Guilsborough residents

4. A copy of your latest accounts

If your request requires you to spend money on third party services then, in accordance with our own Parish Council rules, a minimum of three competitive quotes to back up the request must be included. These must be sought and completed by you.  You will not necessarily be obliged to accept the lowest quote, providing you have evidence of value for money.

THE PLANNING APPLICATIONS PROCESS

Planning applications concerning Guilsborough are made to Daventry District Council (DDC), and it is their responsibility to notify neighbouring properties and the Parish Clerk.

The Parish Clerk has 21 days from the date of the letter (note: neither the date it was posted nor the date it was received) for any observations from the Parish Council to be received by DDC.  He then confers with the Chairman of the Parish Council with some suggested dates for a planning meeting and finally checks on the availability of the village hall.  The Clerk then displays a notice advertising the meeting in the lantern notice board by the Green, he has to give 3 days notice of the meeting and these 3 days must not include the day he puts the notice up, the day of the meeting, or any Saturday or Sunday.

Parishioners are welcome at all Parish Council meetings including planning meetings, if you receive a notice of a planning application from DDC and want to check when the local planning meeting is to be held please either look at the lantern board or telephone the Parish Clerk Peter Winterburn on 01604 584771.

On some occasions site meetings are arranged, DDC may decide this is necessary and sometimes the Parish Council request one, but their request is not always granted by DDC.

If the application comes before a Planning Committee meeting at Daventry members of the public may also attend, Any person who wishes to object or support an application may speak, but this is limited to one person for and one person against in the event of several persons wishing to speak. The applicant or agent may speak, and also one member of the Parish Council. Anybody who has written to Planning Control objecting to or commenting on an application will be notified by letter of the date and time of the Planning Committee considering the proposal.  A request to speak must be made at the latest by 12 noon on the day of the Committee, all persons are given a maximum of three minutes each to speak.
