1. Apologies for absence were received from Cllr.J Disney Borough Council business and T English away on holiday.
2. Time set aside for members of the public to address the committee. Craig and Nina Speller introduced themselves as applicants with regard to Chapel Cottage on the Agenda for consideration by the Parish Council. Informed the meeting that the property was built in the 1830’s, and although not a listed building they hoped to use the building materials of the time so that the property does not lose any of its character. The back of the property had been badly extended over the years, so they hope their extension will both improve the property, upgrade for family living, and not alter the front of the property to the eye of passers by.
