Item 1: To elect a Chair and a Vice Chair to the West Bergholt Planning Committee
Cllr Harlow proposed Cllr Tyrrell for Chair, seconded by Cllr Stevenson, all in favour. Bob Tyrrell remains Chair of Planning Committee.
Cllr Stevenson proposed Cllr Butcher for Vice Chair, seconded by Cllr Savage, all in favour. Brian Butcher remains Vice chair of the Planning Committee.
Item 2: To receive any pre-application representations regarding proposed planning applications

Item 3: Current planning applications
| Location | Proposal | Application No. and link to CBC planning website | Object / Support / Observations | Decision or Recommendation | Comments by Planning Committee |
| 17 Lexden Road
West Bergholt CO6 3BT |
Existing rear detached Garage roof space conversion into storage/office. | 161229 | Observation | Decision | The Parish Council have no objection to the conversion, except to bring to the attention of the Borough Council the dormer windows which overlook a neighbouring garden. The Council would recommend obscure glass in those windows to maintain the neighbour’s privacy. |
| Lynton
The Crescent West Bergholt CO6 3DA |
Proposed ground floor and first floor rear extensions. | 161322 | Object | Decision | The Parish Council have no objection to the property being extended, but cannot comment as the plans give no context to the neighbouring property. There is a lack of information in the plans which make it difficult to judge the impact on the neighbour to the right. Please refer to DG7 & DG8 of CBC approved Village Design Statement. |

West Bergholt CO6 3BW
|
Single storey extension to existing dwelling. | 161473 | Support | Decision | The Parish Council has no comment. |
