The minutes were confirmed at the previous Parish Council meeting.

Councillor Mrs Wackrow reported that she had received three letters from residents in response to the draft planning brief for the Quadrant and Houseboat works site. The general opinion seemed to be that social housing would be unacceptable but there seemed to be no serious objections to affordable housing.

Mr Robert Young the Development Control Manager at Hertsmere had said he was happy to address the boundaries and planning committee again. It was decided that September would be a more appropriate time.

The application at 2a & 4 Aldenham Grove had gone to appeal. The recommendation would have been to refuse it if it had gone to the full committee.

The grid was approved as a correct record.
