CODE OF CONDUCT
Further to minute 3 of the Planning Committee meeting held on 27th May 2002, members received a copy of a letter from the Monitoring Officer, Maldon District Council that had previously been circulated to all District Council members. The letter confirmed that in view of the Code of Conduct it would be confusing for a Councillor to be on both Town and District Council Planning Committees. The Town Clerk reported that as a result of this letter Cllr. P. Roberts felt that he had no option but to resign from the Planning Committee.
RECOMMENDED: that the letter be noted and the appointment of two members to serve upon the Planning Committee be considered at the next Council meeting to be held on 24 June, 2002.

Tree Warden Report
Inspected: 8th June 2002
I have read the report attached to the
application including the responses to Nigel Cowlin's questions.
This is a substantial tree situated approximately 15m from the garage
in question and is much nearer to 46 St. Giles Crescent.
My external
inspection of the garage did not reveal any cracks.
The tree was
growing long before the garage and extension at No. 21 Beacon Hill
were built and the foundations should have been constructed taking
note of the size of the oak tree. The tree should remain and any
necessary underpinning of the garage carried out. Recommend: refuse

the views of the Tree Warden.
