1.	Applications:  

i.	12 Short Hale, 19/01488/APP, garage conversion.  No objections were received from members of the public.  Following consideration, it was RESOLVED to advise AVDC that the parish council would have no objection to this application so long as the property could still meet the planning requirement of needing 3 on site parking spaces (for a 3-bed property).

It was RESOLVED to advise AVDC that no yellow site notice was visible at the property.
ii.	43 Cheddington Road, 19/01542/APP, dropped curb. No objections had been received from members of the public.
