Apologies - Mr A Tinkler who had been unable to return to UK from Spain due to the ban on flying because of the volcanic ash.

The Meeting commenced at 7pm to enable Mr Blackford from MNH to discuss their planning application regarding changes they want to make to the car park at The Sound Café.  He provided plans of the proposal and brought along a sample of the bound granite blocks they intended to use as part of the surface and that they had consulted the Planning Authority before deciding to use these. They were very durable. He said that approximately 70,000 vehicles per annum use the car park.   A discussion took place on this proposal and the Sound area in general.  They were intending to phase the work, starting in Autumn 2010 and then the remainder possibly the following Spring.  However, this was all reliant upon funding being available.

After further general discussion about The Sound Mr Blackford left the meeting. Read the rest of this entry »
