Members did not support the following applications:

CAT/2004/0301/MT - 8 Berrybushes - To fell three trees.
Members did not support the felling of healthy trees, unless there is proven damage to property, or potential damage to property, but would support the pruning of trees, if thought fit, by a qualified tree surgeon.

CAT/2004/0340/MT - 16 Teigh Road - To fell Lime tree
Members did not support the felling of this Lime tree, as it would spoil the approach road into Berrybushes and it is considered to be part of the "street scene". Members would support the pruning of this tree, if thought fit, by a qualified tree surgeon.

Cllr. Dean informed members that the draft questionnaire would soon be ready to circulate to everyone in the village. I was noted that the Chairman had received a copy of the Parish Plan minutes from Cllr. Ryder and that Andy Stewart would be making a progress report at the Village Meeting the following week.

2004/47 To view Millenium Sculpture and make decision

Cllr. Rodger informed members that the sculpture was not available to be viewed. Cllr. Ryder had in her letter passed on her views, that as the village had no other artwork or sculpture, every effort should be made to keep something different and special for the village. Members thought that if the sculpture was repairable, perhaps it should be located in the church for safe keeping.
