a letter to Sutton & East Surrey Water Co, as previously directed
in respect of the proposed barrier to be erected across BW92 South
of the Water Company’s entrance. The Water Company had responded
with information in respect of multiple locking devices for the
authorised users. Cllr Packington was requested to write to SCC

8. Reports: SCAPT Draft Surrey Structure Plan Workshop 4/2: Cllr

was a good presentation. The booklet from the workshop will be

E-mail to all Councillors.

a.
Parish Notice Board:
Cllr Packington advised the meeting that the board is on its way.
b.
Biggin Hill Airport: Cllr Johnson advised the meeting that she
had received the minutes of the Consultative meeting one week
before the next meeting. Cllr Johnson advised that local businesses
and TDC are keen to extend activity at Biggin Hall. Cllr Johnson
also advised that Formula 1 and Gold Air are no longer using Biggin
Hill. Tina Fry, TDC Councillor, is concerned that if use of the
airport falls off then land could be used for housing. Cllr Batterbury
referred to a very low flying jet aircraft on Saturday 15 February
at 16.31hr. over Woldingham. BHA denied knowledge and Cllr Batterbury
had pursued enquiries elsewhere. He agreed to purchase plan showing
controlled air zones and uncontrolled ‘corridor’ over Woldingham
and to report at the next meeting.
c.
Village Appraisal: Parish Council is going to maintain an interest
for all the required actions. The Vice-Chairman asked who was
driving the initiative and was advised that it was the Chairman.
Cllr Marks mentioned that a meeting was needed of the whole Council
to discuss the document and the Vice-Chairman will liaise with
the Chairman and e-mail dates.
The Vice-Chairman advised that the Countryside
Agency had agreed to pass any remaining monies to the Village
Design.

to the Village would take place on March 26 at 7.30pm at the Village
Hall. A flyer will be inserted into the magazine and placed in
the diary at Booths. The presentation will enable Villagers to
submit ideas.
Cllr Johnson mentioned that the Quiz
Evening will be held on Saturday October 11 with teams of 8 people.
f.
Car Park: The Vice-Chairman read through the document which had been circulated to
all members before-hand. After a lengthy
discussion it was agreed that nothing could be realistically
done at the moment as there would appear to be few complaints
from residents at the moment. A change in pricing is likely
to produce more adverse comments. The item is to be removed from
the agenda.

The Vice-Chairman advised that the Millennium Group had decided
on a Stone being placed on the green and that the Parish
