VILLAGE GREEN : There is some damaged fencing and overgrown hedges that need attention. Two planters outside the Parish Hall look in a poor state and look to be in need of some fresh planting this will be raised with the Parish Hall Committee. A damaged picnic table has been removed some damage has been deliberate but it has become worn out and the timbers rotting away. This will be replaced in the near future.

07/09/00020 :Erection of a two storey side extension to include garage and part two storey and part single storey extension to the rear elevation with the existing garage to be demolished.

To erect a 1.1m high stone wall to southern boundary and a post and rail fence to the south west and east boundaries. Also a revised location of access and car parking area.
