Matters Arising

• Errors on Map: J.Nankervis had advised of several errors, on inspection more were identified by council. It was agreed that these should be amended for the next print run, A.Penhaul to check cost for changes.
• Map boxes: Council approved of the boxes made by J.Swannell and favourable comments have been received from members of the public. Green boxes to be returned, hopefully cost to be deducted from original invoice.

A.Penhaul will forward invoices to Rural Transport to claim payment. It was agreed that no further printing, beyond the 400, be done this season and methods of funding for next summer (including further subsidy from Rural Transport and advertising) should be investigated

Planning

• Application by C.Penhaul has been withdrawn
• Application by M.Hindley to be discussed at next meeting
• Application by C.Taylor – Bosvean: Mrs C. Cattran presented the Council with details of the 1987 planning appeal which had been dismissed. After much discussion it was unanimously agreed that the application be opposed on the grounds that: the proposed roofline would be an intrusion on the landscape, the materials are not in keeping with a temporary structure but imply a more permanent dwelling, that it would be out of keeping with the village. Concerns were expressed about the dangerous access to the property, the lack of foul drainage assessment form, setting of a precedent, and the continued existence of a building described as having a life expectancy of 20 years in 1987.

He will attend St Ives MCTi meeting Weds. 13th Sept. to present interim summary, drafted with J.Gray, for inclusion in the MCTi plan.
