The below is a summary of the key decisions of our Parish Council at the above meeting(s).....- An application for the conversion and extension of a disused outbuilding at White House Farm, Dublin Road to a ‘Guest Annexe’ was considered. Councillors were of the opinion that the development would be an improvement to the existing building and recommended acceptance.
- The Parish Clerk is arranging with the District Council for new and replacement signs for Tudor Court, Church Lane and Redlingfield Road. There have been some delays as permission is needed form various residents in Tudor Court to erect the sign there as it is on private property.
- The ditch alongside the B1077 is being monitored; remedial work planned for later this year.

- Application for the removal of a condition imposed upon an ex-battery chicken house at Occold Hall, when the original application was granted, that the exterior walls should be painted black to match the surrounding buildings.
