Mr Retallick reported that the information centre at Haytor is still planned, however on a much smaller scale and including the existing toilets.

The clerk read out an email received from Antonia Teasdale, the Property executive from Holiday Fellowship thanking the councillors for attending a meeting with regard to further development at the Moorland Hotel.  This was purely an information gathering meeting.

Mr Mansfield expressed concerns over the new construction on the field at Lounston, Mr Retallick informed the meeting that the planning application was dealt with under officer delegated powers.  He suggested we write to DNPA to request screening ad landscaping to soften the impact of what seems like a development larger than the plans indicated.
