Re- Letter with respect to Planning applications. Why was it not discussed further? From original planning application – there was no further discussion. BC
read mins. from 21st October 2004 paragraph 3. Also
mins of 1st July 2004 read out. BC – Letter is regards SDC planning and a letter of complaint about SDC. Stud
– Letter writing is not written in minutes of meetings. The
point is the letter is on behalf of CS Parish Council SL – This is not an official letter. Stud – then why reply as BC – Chairman of CS Parish Council? What is the response of the rest of the committee? SL – Not acted on behalf Parish Council other than in signature. It is a personal letter “I wish” BC
repeated points laid out Stud re-iterated their points that the letter was from CS Parish Council. Therefore why was it not brought up at committee? BC – The Letter is to SDC and is about their actions. Stud – Point is, Letter is not a personal letter – has BC had complaints in writing? SL
– It is existing parish business Stud
– IS BC acting on hear-say – without letters of complaint? SL – the letter is asking why the caravans have not been removed – Not asking for them to be removed – it clearly is a letter complaining about SDC. Stud
– Did not want to discuss it further as “it is upsetting his wife”
