(i)

Solar Panels Mr. Peter Rowlands reported back to the meeting that
despite numerous attempts to contact the organisation investigating a
Solar Farm off Plot Lane no meaningful contact has been made to
explore the possibility of expanding the scheme to include the Parish
Plots. It was decided that the initiative be left in abeyance until such
times as the project, if indeed it does, moves to a more substantive
phase.

5. Correspondence
Nothing to report.

proposed construction of a garage, lean-to building and all associated external
works, The Old Vicarage, Church Lane with the results as follows:Support 3

Do Not Support 23

Abstentions 1

The Parish therefore did not support the application and will indicate accordingly
to Newark and Sherwood District Council Planning Department.
In addition the clerk was asked to enquire of Newark and Sherwood if the
planning application is effectively a retrospective application as works have
started on site.
It was also requested that a note be made that the plans as submitted appear to
have a very similar footprint to plans submitted in 2013 and subsequently
refused.

This request was approved after being proposed by David Duffield and
seconded by Peter Rowlands.
