3. Dogs/poo

The Clerk has spoken with both the dog warden and Edward van Dyck of the NFDC. The main Issues:

All open public space within the NFDC is covered by the Fouling of Land Act 1996 ・ it is an offence not to clear up after your dog.

There are No dog control orders in place i.e. no controls for dogs on leads or dog bans enforceable throughout the NFDC. Any enforcement has to be through an authorised officer, who must have training and experience in dog control and the service of notices etc. At the moment there is only 1 dog warden for NFDC. Out of hours enforcement is not covered. It is possible for the parish council, in consultation with the district council, to consider setting up a dog control order under the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005 to ban or restrict dogs; this is proscribed by the Act. The Clerk was requested to notify District Cllrs Lovelace and Tinsley about the concerns with dog fouling in the parish and obtain quotes for fencing and signs.

To meet with representative from highways - dates 8th/9th or 21st Feb. Clerk requested to arrange meeting for 21st Feb at 2.30pm. and to advise members of the action group of this date.

7. Community Infrastructure Levy

On the 6th April 2010 the CIL regulations came into force. The regs were revised April 2011 and are due to be revised again in 2012 to take account of the Localism Act. The regs allow for a Charging Authority to collect monies from an approved levy, subject to the charging authority having gone through an appropriate examination. The NFDC propose an 」80/sq.m for housing and 」200/sq.m for retail development. The CIL will be spent on infrastructure needed to support the development. The NFDC have identified a number of projects as part of the process of setting the CIL rates, including transport and green infrastructure. Regulations allow for changes to projects and priorities. A list will be published on the NFDC web site. The Government will expect that neighbourhoods where CIL money is raised to receive a meaningful proportion of this revenue for the infrastructure projects in their area.
