Minutes of Last Board Meeting Minutes agreed. George presented the accounts (see end of minutes) dated 19th March 2014. Following our last meeting it was decided to renew our subscription to AIRS Tier 1. We are approaching our third financial year-end and it was agreed that George would arrange a gift for Michelle Warner on behalf of the Trust as a thank you for preparing the accounts. Planning Application Nick went through the latest plans in detail for the benefit of our new Trustees. Three main items were highlighted. The first concern was the area between the light box on the lower roof and the higher roof where leaves could gather. The second concern was the joining of the zinc overhang with the green roof. The third item was the possibility of reducing the number of supports for the zinc overhang. The addition of the windows, as requested after our last meeting, on the north elevation by the meeting area was welcomed. Sheila will e-mail Vivienne Blandford and Simon Barker after the meeting with the items highlighted. Simon will now upload the application to the planning portal. The original Design and Access Statement has been amended and added to but the document is rather large and could not be emailed to me in time for the meeting. Sheila will endeavour to acquire a copy. Action SB SB 5 AOB Once the planning permission has been granted the Trustees would like to arrange a meeting with the Parish Council to establish the areas of responsibilities and funding for the next phase of the project. It is anticipated that our two BCHT Trustees Rick Mudie and Councillor Skinner, who are also Ionides Trustees will open a dialogue with all interested parities around the site i.e. the Scouts and surgery, in order to make sure everyone is aware of the progress of the project to avoid any misunderstandings. The Ionides Trust is arranging an event on the Ionides Trust land on September 6th for the village. Councillor Skinner will find out more details at the next Ionides meeting. The next meeting will be on 16th May 2014 at 7.30 at 9 Broad Oak. Thank you George and Eileen for hosting the meeting yet again and again and again!!!!!
