John Prinn thought that there were good signs to Bursledon on the
Motorway.
5. FINANCIAL REPORT
Jenny Leeves reported that £30 had been paid to the man who delivered
the extra copies of Scene which was rather higher than the estimate.
The printing bill had not yet been paid as it the Parish Council had
agreed to pay it in the first instance so that it was not liable for VAT
but Jenny Leeves had not yet received request for repayment.
Diane Andrewes agreed to follow this up with Jenny Whittle
Diana Sneezum reported that the Parish Council had agreed to pay £500
towards the next survey but had requested a report. Diane Andrewes
proposed that an Annual Report should be written as the Group had been
established for just over a year. This was seconded by John Prinn.
Diane Andrewes agreed to produce a report with the help of Jenny Leeves.
6. H.Y.P.E
Donna Brewer had circulated a report on the young people’s weekend but
unfortunately was not present to discuss the findings. Diane
Andrewes reported that Jo Dixon had written to say that the Process was
important in producing a Parish Plan which should not be just a “Tick
Box” exercise. Diana Sneezum agreed to contact Donna Brewer to
ascertain if she would be able to attend future meetings.
7. ANALYSIS OF PARISH PLAN SURVEY 1
7.1 Housing
Marion Penn had circulated her analysis of the first Survey on Housing.
Some printed copies were available at the meeting and these were
discussed. Over 200 surveys had been received some of these were
opinions of the household and some were individual. Marion asked
for members to send any comments to her and note any typographical
errors. She would like to do further cross analysis on some
points. She was congratulated on all the work she had undertaken.
Marion Penn will update the results and send to members of the Steering
Group.
It was proposed by Diane Andrewes that the analysis on Housing
should be sent to the Planners in Eastleigh who were working on the
Local Plan and also to Borough Councillors, Bursledon Parish Council,
Diccon Bright and Chris Huhne. This was seconded by John Prinn.
Diane Andrewes would send a letter with the analysis referring to the
Localism Bill with its emphasis on taking in the views of local people.
Diane Andrewes reported that she was organizing a meeting of BROWAPG to
discuss the proposed land allocations for housing identified in the
Local Plan.
Post meeting note
The BROWAPG meeting on Housing has been arranged for Wednesday 30th
November at 7pm in the Anna Harvey Room in the Village Hall.
7.2 Community Facilities
This section had also been analysed. It was agreed that some
personal comments should be omitted. Marion would also correct this and
circulate.
8. PARISH PLAN WORKING PARTY REPORT
The working party had met twice since the last meeting. Diane
reported that the sections on Transport and Heritage had been completed
and at the last meeting the section on Environment had been considered.
The working party had felt that the next survey would be very long if
everything was to be included in one. It was suggested that the
second survey should be sent out with the February Scene and should be
on Transport and Heritage with a third survey later.
This was proposed by Diane Andrewes and seconded by Wendy Lyne and all
agreed.
