Mr R Thomas & Mr P Charlesworth introduced themselves as candidates in the forthcoming By-Election.
** advised that there is a problem with speeding traffic along The Stiles. In addition, the pub delivery lorries often go there which causes an issue. She asked what could be done about the problem.
Mrs Emma Caddis spoke in support of her planning application for a dwelling on Land East of Shepherds Farm. An original application was approved for a 1-bed holiday let. However, a new application has now been submitted for a 2-bed dwelling. Although the owners wish for it to be used as a holiday-let, they have been advised to submit the application as a dwelling so that they can get finance for the project.
Mr J Humphreys, Mr B Wood (Planning Consultant) & Ms A Hoskings (architect) spoke on the proposed housing development on land behind Parknoweth Close. Pre-application advice has been received and Cornwall Council has agreed with the principle of an open-market/affordable homes development on the land. A draft plan of the proposed development was circulated and an outline planning application will be submitted once the technical surveys have been completed. The larger properties will have two parking spaces, the smaller properties one and the roads will be wide enough for on-street parking. Concerns were expressed about the access to the site. The splay will be lost so visibility when turning left into Station Road will be poor. It was also discussed that Parknoweth Farm is a 24 hour working farm. The plan shows building right up to the boundary which concerns the farmer.

a) Highway Issues: The speed of the traffic along The Stiles was discussed. It is unclear whether the road is privately owned or the responsibility of Cornwall Council. RESOLVED: Clerk to clarify ownership before next meeting. The lines outside The Pheasant showing the priority need repainting as do the double yellow lines on the bend by the Church & the lines in Mitchell. RESOLVED: Clerk to report to Highways.

RESOLVED: Both options to be considered, Clerk to contact Scottishpower to discuss options.
f) Damage to Gate at Village Hall/Installation of Bench by Noticeboard: A quote has been received from Steve Dawes for the work. RESOLVED: Clerk to accept quote.
