  1. AOB:

Gary stated that the DNPWG could assume that the RCC would be leading on the consultation events. All the collated comments would come through from the RCC to YL who would then filter these. A DNPWG meeting would need to be held to discuss these. There needs to be a formal response to each comment. All comments are public and all comments, responses and amendments have to be submitted to HBBC. The examiner will see all of these.

David asked where and how people could respond. It was agreed that comments  could be posted through the library door or emailed to the clerk.

Gary said that there could be expected to be 30 to 40 pages of comments. He mentioned that all statutory agencies will respond as well as LCC, HBBC, developers and members of the public. There is £1500 from the Awards for All Grant to help with this. He also mentioned that YL would appreciate some of this for their work next week amending the plan.

Andrew asked if there could be a pre consultation briefing before the open events. It was agreed that there should be a briefing paper for helpers. Action – Martyn to prepare briefing paper Action– Pat to contact RCC about possibility of them helping with this briefing. Pat noted that the RCC will provide the display materials but are unable to help with the open events on the day due to previous commitments. The group will also need to provide stands and display boards. Judy asked whether there would be the need for more paper copies of the DNP at BVH due to lack of access to computers.
