Other planning matters
D Neal suggested that a further letter be sent regarding Mr E Williams application for a development on land adjoining Station Road Car Park which had been the subject of a site meeting. This was agreed and it was also agreed that previous objections should be re-iterated plus comments to the effect that it is felt that the junction with the Car Park access should be dealt with rather than installing speed cushions etc., in Station Road as it was the inadequacy of the access that was one of the main reasons for refusing the original application.
There being no further business the meeting closed at 8-00 p.m.
