Cllr Hubbard distributed pre-prepared documentation packs to each person to complement the suggested agenda items. 3. To discuss the ground plan, footprint and alignment as required for the Faculty – The ground plan, footprint and alignment were discussed. R Ball suggested that the alignment of the structure would need to take the bend in the path into account for vehicular access. J Lurkins suggested that the vehicular swing in from the bridlepath would also need to be considered. It was discussed that most of the potential alignment issues could be addressed whilst complying with the approved site location plan JB/L/CPC/04. It was agreed that the existing fencing either side of the new structure would need to be replaced by suitable hedging and the tree to the right hand side of the structure would need to be removed. ACTION – PCC to feedback to Rev D Owen to ensure enough detail agreed to satisfy the Faculty. 4. To discuss the layout and wording of the memorial plaques for the Faculty – With reference to the two existing memorial plaques in the Church, M Hubbard presented layout proposals for both World War plaques. It was agreed as the wording was very close to the original existing plaques only a minor change was needed. R Ball suggested the minor change within the main title on the World War Two plaque to balance the wording out with the World War One plaque. M Hubbard suggested that the font for the memorial plaques should be in Times New Roman as recommended by the supplier of the memorial stone. ACTION – M Hubbard to amend the wording as agreed and then forward both memorial plaque templates to the PCC electronically. PCC to feedback to Rev D Owen to satisfy the requirements of the Faculty. 5.

ACTION – M Hubbard to discuss with R Hoffman to confirm all details of the Fallen from her previous research. 6. To discuss any additional carving to the structure – M Hubbard requested any additional carving requirements to enable an accurate quotation from the Woodcarver to be obtained. M Hubbard asked if the PCC would like to include any additional wording on the front roof cross beam of the structure, the PCC agreed that there would be wording, B Barwick suggested they discuss and agree the content at the next PCC meeting scheduled 15.9.15.

ACTION – M Hubbard to ensure this is included in the quotation.
