Mr Collins commented that:
Mr Johnson thanked Mr Collier for his contribution, and discussion proceeded within the Council.
Cllr Neal noted that there is an agricultural tie house adjacent to the site, which is currently for sale; he believed that this would be suitable as an alternative.
Mr Johnson added that a dwelling would change the character of the site, and would also create a problem with the disposal of effluent – a sealed tank would be necessary.

It was
PROPOSED Mrs Jolliffe; SECONDED Mrs Jones and AGREED (with the abstention of the two Councillors declaring interests) that the Parish Council should OBJECT to this application.

Nothing to report

Nothing to report from School Governors.
Mr Barber had arranged for a group comprising Mrs Gloria Goodliffe, Mr Jonathan Evans, Mr David Wright and Mrs Maggie Barber to discuss, with the architect, community use of the school hall. The school kitchen is, currently, the only available kitchen for events.
