A good design was finallyagreed and the application for full planning permission was submitted with the full support of the ParishCouncil, Village Design Committee and local residents.

Although Mr Kew had been expected to attend the meeting to speak in support of this application, he did not attend. However, planning permission has now been granted.

The original plans called for two (2) lights within the complex and one (1) outside, but the Managing Director, Mr Mark Goodall has written to the council to state that he only intends to erect one lighting column to the left of the entrance to the estate. He maintains that the interior of the estate is a “private area”. The surface water drains are at an incorrect level and some gullys have become blocked due to the continual mud and silt coming down the track. There are still some gullies to be installed. The road shown on the original plans of the development has not been constructed as detailed. Cllr Meeson proposed, with Cllr Foulger seconding, that Cllr Dale progess these matters.
