After an initial welcome by the Chairman, the Annual Council will be asked to approve as a correct record the minutes circulated with this agenda of the Council’s meeting on Tuesday 6 March 2018.

The Annual Council received the minutes of the Council meeting on Tuesday 6 March 2018, which had been circulated with the agenda.

Mrs Hamilton explained that in advance of the meeting she had been notified of the need for two small amendments to be made to the draft minutes for clarification purposes only. She had agreed that in the interests of the efficient conduct of business those two changes should be incorporated into the online version (which had been republished) and the official version which she would be signing at this meeting with members’ approval. There would be, therefore, no need to refer in the minutes of this meeting in that regard to any amendment of the minutes of the last meeting. The two clarifying changes were as follows:

(1)  Mr Shaxson had drawn attention to the need for a one word minor but factually relevant correction to minute 15. On the second line at the top of page 18 of the minutes in the agenda, ‘a new site for a Harting facility’ should in fact say ‘Nyewood’ instead of ‘Harting’.

(2)  Mr Dignum had pointed out that in minute 11 and in the second line of the last para on page 14 of the minutes in the agenda, the words ‘the SDNPA area within’ should be inserted between ‘for’ and ‘Chichester District’.

There were no further proposed amendments to the draft minutes.

Decision

The Annual Council voted unanimously on a show of hands to approve the aforementioned minutes without making any amendments.

RESOLVED

That the minutes of the Council’s meeting on Tuesday 6 March 2018 be approved.

Mrs Hamilton then duly signed and dated the final (twenty-third) page of the official version of the aforesaid minutes as a correct record.
