It was decided that because the proposed fishing lets would cause a visual impact on the area, and that the access lane to the pond is unsuitable for a larger volume of traffic. It was proposed to object the application. All were in favour. It was also decided that Cllr. Scott would call in the application.
9. COUNCILLORS QUESTIONS AND ITEMS FOR FUTURE MEETINGS
Following a rise in comments regarding potholes and street lights in the village, Cllr. Hayward suggested that the parish council should put a piece in the Honeycomb to highlight the purpose of the CLARENCE service. It was decided this was a good idea.
Cllr. Plowman commented on the Parish councils filing cabinet, and if it was still needed. As most of the paperwork is archived, it was decided to archive what was still needed, and destroy anything that was surplus to requirements.
