| Cllr Bush reported that MKC approved the Minerals Local Plan for the Borough, this does not mean that the detail of the site at Lathbury is confirmed and there will be a planning application coming through. This is not within our Parish therefore MKC may not consult us on this but we will send an email to Brett Leahy (Head of Planning) pointing out that there is a lot of local interest and we would like to be consulted.
Cllr Bush added that he had been approached by Jim Gardiner regarding his concern for his business and so he is very keen that the Parish are involved in looking at the details of planning, in particular there was a lot of people walking around by the river and obviously his customers did not want to shoot in that direction.
