Approve and sign Minutes   Prop. M Hills,   sec. I Reveco.

Matters arising
I Reveco had brought a sample of a 'no dogs' sign and it was agreed to put in an order for 7.

District Councillor's report
J Stimson reiterated SODC's support for the parish in the fight against development in the Green Belt and also the support of the 13 parishes group.
There had been a meeting concerning the Park Homes on July 30. Members had produced a list of draft recommendations for approval, eg. taking 2 or 3 sites for an in depth evaluation. He would email the final list asap to clerk for inclusion in the minutes. It had been proposed that an officer dedicated solely to Park Homes sites be appointed for a one year post.
He suggested that Sandford ask to be represented at the EiP by SODC (he would be seeing Gill Oliver in the next few days) and that the PC submit a written representation for the EiP to be agreed with other parties beforehand

County Councillor's report   appended.

Matters for consideration

	Green Belt - the presentation of development proposals by FPD Savills on behalf of Magdalen College and Thames Water was discussed and it was unanimously agreed that nothing in it had changed the stance of the council. It was resolved to ask SODC to represent Sandford at the Examination in Public of the Draft Structure Plan and for the council to send in a written submission of comments on clause H1. A press release would be issued.
	Report from Appraisal - there was nothing to report as yet.
	Rock Farm land - a preliminary survey had taken place and clerk would contact BBOWT for advice. M Norton would liaise with L Judd who keeps horses on the land at present and H Hutton would try to arrange for someone to top off the weeds.
	Revision of standing orders (as existing and new model appended) - councillors would take away new model suggestions, clauses in bold type should be retained and other clauses examined for suitability and marked up for further discussion and possible inclusion.
