Before the meeting John Bosworth talked to the Council about the appraisal he is undertaking of the Village Conservation Area. He thanked Parish Councillor Weedon for his help. Although his review was very comprehensive, in all probability, there will only be minor changes in his recommendations. These will come out in due course as a consultation document for public scrutiny. The Chairman thanked him for an informative and interesting presentation.
Next, District Councillor Simon Howell addressed the meeting. He had little to report on the Anso Corner site, though a decision was imminent on the two houses. Essex County Council Highways had objected to the proposals. He had received a sustained volume of mail on the Gypsy and Traveller Site issue. It had been discussed in Radwinter and Sampfords’ Parish Council Meetings.
The council queried why a suitability assessment could not be carried out earlier to reduce the period of uncertainty across a wide area of the district. Apparently procedures have to be followed in a set order.
The Chairman opened the Parish Council meeting at 9.05 pm
