This will involve the erection of scaffolding. The Council has on previous occasions allowed temporary access for building work and it was resolved to give consent. As the temporary access is for a term of less than 7 years no consideration has to be obtained. There is also a statutory right of access to adjoining property for maintenance. 10.4 The building work and erection of scaffolding will necessitate the removal of a bush growing against the wall of the building restricting access and causing damage. Letters have been received from Mr L Sanders and Mr K Vile stating that the bushes have been growing on the green for more than 40 years and in their view should not be tampered with. Confirmation has been given in writing to the Council by the applicants' solicitor and building consultant that the bush will be replaced with a similar bush or one to the choice of the Council in a more appropriate position so as to cause no further damage in the future and not obstruct maintenance. It was agreed that this was reasonable and acceptable to the Council. Cheques drawn: 256 18.01.06 Spreyton Parochial Church Council £50.00 257 18.01.06 Spreyton Parochial Church Council £25.00
