 09/1005 District Councillor       Cllr Wates and Bourne had nothing to report. Concern was expressed that there has been no enforcement of the refused planning applications at Sawmills.

09/1006 NT                                       January 19th Wassail at the community orchard. The beacon will be lit on Nov 11th; the path across the common will be resurfaced.

09/1007 Planning                           2018/1429 Sawmills, Green Lane, Retention of earth bunding. The Parish Council is objecting to this; engineering work such as this should not be taking place in the Green Belt, especially as it would appear that the bunds have been created in order to make way for even larger lorries to operate on this site. Another retrospective application is concerning, especially as this company is continuing to develop this site despite the refusal of their change of use application.
