    The minutes of the meeting held on 17 April 2023 were confirmed as a true record.
    Proposed by Councillor Shrimplin
    Seconded by Councillor Holley
    It was noted that these minutes would need to be signed off by the former Chair, Councillor Grant.
    6. Borough Councillor’s Reports
    The Parish Council received and considered the report which was submitted by Councillor Freeman.
    Councillor Freeman reported the salient issues contained in his report to the Parish Council.
    The Parish Council noted the report for information only.
    7. County Councillor’s Report
    The Parish Council received and considered the report from County Councillor Bensly.
    The Parish Council noted the report for information only.
    8. Finance Report
    The Parish Council received and considered the finance report from Claire Fraser RFO.
    The Parish Council considered the schedule of invoices and payments and the requested bank
    transfer as detailed in appendix 2 of the report.
    Claire Fraser informed the Parish Council that there were 7 invoices ready to be despatched which
    she would pass to the Chair. There was an issue with unspent grant funding regarding the
    Neighbourhood Plan. Councillor Freeman was aware, and this would be actioned.
    Claire Fraser had had an initial meeting with a prospective Internal Auditor, and she asked the Parish
    Council permission to appoint them as approved in the minutes of the last meeting, whereby the
    appointment of an auditor had been approved in principle but not in name. The Chair requested
    their name, further information, and value of the contract. The Chair suggested that this be taken
    offline, discussed and approved by the Parish Councillors.
    The schedule of invoices and payments and the requested bank transfer as detailed in appendix 2 of
    the report was proposed by Councillor Freeman and seconded by Councillor Wendt and following a
    vote, it was agreed.
    Claire Fraser informed the Parish Council that there were two potential invoices for sundry items to
    be received for the amounts of £190 and £150 in connection to the upkeep of the defibrillator. The
    Chair agreed to contact the person concerned and to obtain the required information in relation to
    the invoices in writing.
    The F & GP minutes were noted by the Parish Council.
    9. To note the Planning Application and to comment to Great Yarmouth Borough Council in
    the capacity of consultee.
    06/23/0255/F Development: Proposed demolition of existing buildings and construction of 5 no. two
    storey dwellings with associated parking and site works. Location: 4 West Road Ormesby St
    Margaret Great Yarmouth NR29.
    Councillor Freeman outlined the planning application to the Parish Council. The Parish Council were
    unanimous that the proposed development was featureless boxes which would be completely out of
    character in the Conservation Area. The application for 5 properties was also deemed
    overdevelopment of the site. Councillor Freeman reported that the Parish Council was not against
    the development, but it needed to be sympathetic to the Conservation Area and fit in with the
    existing street scene. Councillor Freeman was concerned that there were no garages proposed and
    that 11 parking spaces were planned to front directly onto West Road which would give the
    appearance of a car park. Councillor Freeman reported that the Council had adopted Design Codes
    to ensure quality development within the Borough and that the Millview Development in the village
    was a good example of a sympathetic development.
    Councillor Holley asked regarding the planning history on the site.

    Councillor Freeman read out a letter to the Parish Council detailing his objections to the application.
    The Chair proposed that the letter be used as a benchmark and be built upon by other Parish
    Councillors and members of the public prior to be submitted to the Borough Council as the Parish
    Council’s response. The letter would then be published on the website and would include necessary
    links to the planning documents on the Borough Council website. This information would also be
    available to view in the Village Centre and Telephone Box. It was suggested that this should be
    available to view in the Garden Café which was open to the public on a Friday to ensure that the
    information was dissimilated as widely as possible in the villages.
    The Parish Council agreed that this was the best way forward.
    10. Sea Defences, Scratby
    Councillor Freeman gave an update to the Parish Council.
    Councillor Wendt raised concerns regarding the large, rusted structure which was on the beach
    where the Esplanade met the Promenade which was a health and safety risk and needed to be
    removed prior to the summer season. Councillor Freeman had reported this issue but would chase
    up as a matter of urgency.
    The Parish Council noted the update.
    11. Insurance Renewal
    The Chair explained that the buildings insurance expired in the next 2/3 weeks and highlighted the
    need for the insurance values to be re-looked at to ensure that we were not under-insured to meet
    current re-build costs. The insurance would need to be sorted before the next meeting, two or three
    quotes would be obtained and approval from all Parish Councillors would be sought via email and
    payment approved at the next meeting.
    This was agreed by the Parish Council.
    12. Date & Time of next meeting
    The next meeting would be held on Monday, 12 June 2023 at 7pm in the Village Centre, Ormesby St
    Margaret.
    13. Appoint Councillors to Committees and Advisory Groups
    The Chair reported that in line with the Parish Council’s Standing Orders, he was aware that
    everything was not in place last year regarding the Committees and Advisory Groups. The Chair
    highlighted that there were 8 Councillors to fill 5 Committees and therefore, Councillors should
    consider their skills and interests. 3 core members were needed on each. A copy of the Committee
    and Advisory Groups would be circulated via email to all Councillors to consider, complete and
    return. Personnel, Burial Ground & F & GP must be a committee due to financial implications and
    accountability and all others are Advisory Groups.
    Committees
    Personnel – Calnon, Holley, Wendt
    Burial Ground – Calnon, Freeman, Gingell
    F & GP – Freeman, Nathan, Shrimplin.
    Working Parties
    Planning

    Proposed by Councillor Nathan and seconded by Councillor Shrimplin and following a vote, the
    above nominations were agreed.
    Councillor Wendt highlighted the possibility of co-options onto the Advisory Groups, for example,
    Bob Hill had undertaken a lot of good work the last year regarding the Burial Grounds.
    Councillor Wendt advised that the declaration for Chair and Vice Chair had been signed and
    countersigned by Claire Fraser RFO.
    The Chair asked that the Councillors consider a 3-year project plan and what needs to be included to
    produce a robust long-term agenda for the Parish Council.

    The Chair reported that National Coastwatch had not been considered as their plans needed more
    meat on the bones.
    The Parish Council needed 2 more Parish Councillors – 1 for Scratby & 1 For Ormesby St Margaret. If
    members of the public are interested, they should contact [email protected] in the first
    instance.
