Points raised	Action
Metal seats around trees on the Village Green	The decision last month to repaint the metal seats was reconsidered and it was agreed to defer any repainting until at least next year when it would be reviewed again.
Conservation Area - has this been extended to include Kings Head?	The clerk reported that the member/staff working group reviewed all proposed boundary changes to conservation areas on 11th June and sought to minimise the extent of extensions to existing boundaries, especially where linear extensions connecting small areas with historic interest outside the main historic area had been identified for inclusion, and where landscape settings had also been included. The overall view about extending the conservation area to Kings Head was that this type of extension went beyond the main purpose of conservation area designation and protection of historic centres. Historic features like the old mill leat will be recorded on DNPA’s Historic Environment Record (HER) and will therefore be protected through other means. The clerk showed on the conservation area map that the proposed extension did not go as far as Kings Head. The DNPA advised that extensions would be only be considered in the context of architectural or historical interest. Cllr Nosworthy expressed that it was historical by virtue that it is an old mill leat. It was agreed that the clerk should feedback to the DNPA for their consideration.
Building work at Foxley – check whether permission is required/granted	The clerk had now received written confirmation from DNPA that this work is permitted development and therefore does not require planning permission. Any concern regarding the right of access to the rear of the property is a civil matter and cannot be determined by the Planning Authority.
Lamp outside the Shop on the Green – still not working and in need of cleaning	The clerk reported the bulb should now have been replaced and the lamp cleaned. It has also been switched over to part-night lighting.
Parking signs on the low wall in the centre of the village have disappeared. Believed to belong to the National Trust.	The clerk advised that she has reported the missing signs to DNPA and informed the Authority that repairs were also needed to the wall which they erected.
Curb stones on the stream are beginning to fall in	An order has been sent by DCC to South West Highways for the kerb stones to be fixed back in place which will require programming into their already busy schedule.
Christmas tree lights in the tree outside The Old Inn	Cllr Newbolt-Young still to speak to the current owners.
Old tree guards at the bottom of Widecombe Hill are falling down and need removing/replacing.	The clerk has reported these to Rupert Lane, DNPA.
