3. Matters Rising from the minutes
3.1 Land North of the Church
At the last meeting the Parish Council were advised by Mr Jelley from Ward Homes that Dr Brady was doing a Great Crested Newt survey on behalf of Ward Homes. Since this meeting the Clerk had been in contact with Dr Brady who advised the Parish Council that he was not conducting a mitigation survey for Wards Homes on the land north of the Church and recommended that the Parish Council sought independent advice and obtained their own survey. Dr Brady recommended a Mr Jonathan Bramley.
The Parish Councillors felt that if the Parish Council was to get its own survey on the pond north of the Church then it should also cover the surrounding land to obtain a fuller picture.
It was agreed that the Parish Council was not going to have the same problems as the Developers with the Great Crest Newt, as the problems for the Developers were short term, however for the village it was a longer term problem and the village had to learn to live alongside the Newts.
Mr Jelley confirmed that once the current survey was finished, a copy of the report would be sent to the Parish Council.
After a lengthy discussion it was agreed that the Parish Council would appoint Jonathan Bramley to conduct a survey of the Great Crested Newts north of the Church.
It was agreed that the Chairman would liaise with Mr Bramley and the sum of £1,000 would be underwritten for fees to start with and reviewed at a later date if additional surveys were required.
