TO RECEIVE REPORTS FROM REPRESENTATIVES FROM OUTSIDE
BODIES
 Coun. Bridges confirmed that electronic planning procedures would begin
immediately for those parishes who have accepted the proposal and all other
Parishes have until September/October to acquire equipment and Clerks will
be trained in that time by ELDC, and from 2015 all Parishes will have to be
able to accept plans electronically.
 Coun. Bridges attended the LDF conference and posed the question about
possible industrialisation of our landscape with wind farms and turbines. One
of the areas main industries is tourism so must be sensible how many farms
are approved as may have detrimental effect on tourism. There are no
minimum or maximum targets for wind farms set by the govt. ELDC cannot
be seen as anti renewable energy as 6 wind farms have already been granted
and a further 2 at the scoping opinion stage. 25% of East Midlands renewable
energy targets have already been met by renewable energy in ELDC area and
will soon be up to 40%. These are purely for on shore turbines. ELDC have
already met their targets.
 Funk Bus will be at Village Hall every month until recreation facilities are
created, starting on Friday 13th April.
 Coun. Bridges has £2000 available for community groups to access via
Community Grants.
