Other Planning Issues

1) Licensing- the Clerk made mention of the hearings scheduled for Friday 19th August in connection with the applications for the Golden Lion and Airport Tavern. In connection with the latter the Area Manager for Punch Taverns had phoned to advise that the live music times would be changed to finish at 23.00 hours Sunday to Thursday and 24.00 hours on Friday and Saturday. On this basis would the Parish Council waive its objections? It was agreed that this should be referred to Cllr. Atkins at the full PC Meeting. Cllr. Irving will speak on behalf of the Council in respect of both hearings if they take place on Friday morning with Cllr. Yamanaka speaking in the afternoon.

2) RSS update- July 2005 edition available for reading.

3) E-mails- the Chairman raised this topic in view of some comments made at the last Planning Meeting. It centres on the non e-mail recipients and how they should receive paper copies. It was generally felt that copies are not needed in all instances although the Parish Council Chairman should as a matter of courtesy, be made aware of e-mail circulation. The Clerk suggested that disclosure of e-mails could be left to his discretion and this was accepted by the Meeting. Cllr. Phillips requested that a paper copy of the full Council Meeting minutes be sent to her and not e-mail.
