2.	Matters arising on the Minutes
	Minute 100(2005) – Planning application BO/05/04313/DOM
	The Clerk advised the meeting that he had received an e-mail from the applicant, Mr. Peter Lane, requesting that the Parish Council withdraw its objection, because of the death of his wife at the time that the application was considered; this prevented him from being present to support his case. The Clerk discussed the matter with both Mrs. Powell and Mr. Whitmore Jones and it was agreed that the Parish Council’s objection should stand as the Council is only a consultee body.
