A paper in the form of information gathered at HYSD’s and other input from residents had been
circulated prior to the meeting. DC was against any communications being sent to either the council or any prospective developer, others felt that it was vital to communicate the information available
at an early stage - MG arrived and was brought up to speed.

7. Draft Policies - Neighbourhood Plan structure - MW and JB had put in an enormous amount of work on this subject and would continue to refine this. MG shared the required process to be
adopted in ensuring that the format and any policies did not conflict with either ADC/WSCC policies. It was generally felt that we were on track to completing this element and that moving forward was well on target .

DC had previously circulated an update on this area and will send additional information
when it is available to the committee.

e) Community Facilities (MP) - See minute 3 bullet point
It was generally agreed that a workshop or workshops were needed for groups and to move forward on the actual policy documents for the NP. These would be scheduled in for the new year - this would include those who had already been able to gather together basic information, and constructed draft policies from information available to them.
