4. To consider progress in regard to following main issues

 

a) East of Shaw Lane development. - No news

 

b) Field Development (behind Shaw Lane at the south end of Shaw Lane). It was agreed to ask the ADAG members to take a look and also to ask Bob Watson if he would like to join ADAG.

RS suggested that it may be helpful to the builder/developer if ADAG met with him to let him know the local concerns which led to the failure of the planning application by Jessup as these (traffic and drainage introduced into Shaw Lane) may be the consequences of this development. This may allow him to avoid such issues well before his plans are developed. ACTION: PW would speak to G Catlin and Bob Watson.
