Accepted with minor amendments.

10/063 Matters arising (Agenda item 7)
10/037 HPBC annual report: letter acknowledging receipt of clerk’s letter
10/041 Rat poison apparently conflicting responses from MEPs: some blame Green Party amendments, another the EU for excluding rodenticides from derogation. All appear to be against banning rodenticides and say they are opposing it in one way or another

10/044 Dog Waste bins: HPBC say they already have as many litter bins as they can manage unless a real need can be shown on HPBC land. We are saying there is a need for bins to collect rubbish which otherwise would be disposed of in the countryside, which is not HPBC’s land. Therefore they cannot provide more bins at the points requested.

No objections

NP/HPK/0510/0457 Site of former Nat West Bank Fidlers Well retain consent for the erection of dwelling

The Parish Council is concerned about

a) access: although access to Fidlers Close is shown on plan 0802/127 there is none and the only access is a pedestrian one through a narrow gateway bounded on one side by the neighbouring property's wall and on the other by the ancient wells

b) potential damage to the ancient wells (the site of the village well dressing) during demolition and rebuilding works

c) parking: there is only on-road parking available

d) A stated condition in the original permission was that when the site was developed, the wall to the rear of the troughs, which is village property and which the applicant had demolished unlawfully should be rebuilt. This has not yet been done. The parish council believes that before permission is considered for renewal, this wall should be rebuilt.
