Item 10: Village Shop – Car Park Survey Feedback
Two members of the working group attended the meeting to present feedback from the market survey and address queries. Of the 176 households surveyed, 84 responses were received, with only two expressing opposition to the proposed location within the car park.
EK reported personal monitoring of car park usage, noting a maximum of nine cars observed, with eight being the highest number at any one time. Should the proposal proceed, 12 parking spaces would remain available, with no impact on existing resources.
Concerns were raised regarding surface water drainage, as the planning application would result in concentrated runoff from a single downpipe. An estimated £1,500 would be required to install a soakaway to manage discharge, which is necessary for approval as the development is classified as new. Additionally the back wall of the car park was identified as the site boundary
A group member confirmed progress on container specifications, with final choices pending funding within a budget of approximately £6,000. EK advised that indicative design elements (e.g., window size and type, cladding, configuration) should be submitted via screenshots to support the application. As the site is within a Conservation Area, additional considerations include warm-spectrum downlighting and water provision/disposal if sinks are installed.
The proposal would be classed as temporary works, with an intended site period of 18 months. EK will draft the planning submission for inspection.
Council Action: Council agreed that the installation of a soakaway and its later reinstatement posed no issue, subject to group costings. Council expressed support for the group to publicise aggregated survey results.
Proposal: EK to proceed with the planning application, subject to approval from the Local Authority.
Proposed: EK Seconded: RE
11.To consider appointment of a Responsible Financial officer and Proper Officer from 01/07/2025.

13.To consider Contractor feedback for the first tender round of the Hall Changing room and storage works.
EK reported being approached by a tenderer seeking to recover fees related to their submission. It was confirmed that while fee recovery is not applicable, tenderers are entitled to receive the outcome of the process and a reasonable explanation for rejection. It was agreed that any response should be shared with all parties who submitted tenders.
Council requested that the Clerk prepare standardised responses for distribution to each tenderer.
