Members were advised of the correspondence addressed to the Parish Council. 848, Planning Applications: Application No 04/00975/COU. Change of use of building from telephone exchange to Class B1 employment use. Members considered this application and expressed concern as to why an expansion of a nearby Light industrial unit, with stringent planning conditions attached to it, should be allowed to expand, creating ribbon development, without any proven need for further employment, which could be provided in the future by the already approved complex to the rear of the Colne Valley Railway. Members requested that a letter raising these points should be sent to the Braintree Planning Department. 849. Accounts for Payment were considered by members and approved for payment. Councillor Mr M. Wood requested that in view of the recent computer damage, all office equipment should be itemized and a value established with the Insurance Company. 850. Chairman's Information.
