Notes:
- Groundworks Grant update (BM)
- Grant applied form and full amount granted. Acceptance form completed. Will take 5-10 days before it arrives in the Parish Bank account.
- Responses from Landowners (BM)
- Following feedback from the community concerning the size of developments, we emailed Mr Symonds asking if he would consider smaller developments and possible green spaces.
- However, Mr Symonds was reluctant to attend a public meeting and suggested a private meeting which is unacceptable as all NDP meeting need to be held in public.

- Action: BM to email Mr Symonds and point out that we can only meet at a public place, which is open for all the community to attend.
- AECOM Technical design codes (MW)
- Meg discussed progress and said that there is a call arranged with Simon Hargreaves next Tuesday after which they will arrange a site visit.
- Simon has a clear understanding of our needs and has dealt with rural NDP in the past so it looks quite promising from our perspective.
