No declarations of interest were received.
3. OUTSIDE BODIES REPORT
Neither ELDC Cllr N Jones or ELDC/LCC Cllr T Ashton send any apologies or forwarded any information.
Cllr Ladds relayed that she had correspondence from planning enforcement regarding the static caravans at Staples Veg Ltd, saying that there is a breach and therefore have requested that they put in for retrospective planning permission. However, if a planning application is not received within the time requested, the breach of planning control is not expedient to take formal enforcement action against. The District Council have reached this decision because if planning permission was applied for, the application is likely to be
supported by the planning department.
