th ADDENDUM TO MINUTES OF 26 MARCH 2019 Since writing the previous report and fO￿arding it to the Charities Commission, which is a legal requirement for the Association. I feel it is necessary to update members on further developments. Cornerstone Telecommunications have lodged an appeal against the Council's refusal to allow the erection of a mast and ancillary boxes in the garden of the Nork Community Association. We were informed of this by Mr Gulati, who is a Solicitor and Trustee of the Association'5 land, with Bob Prince our previous Chairman, now deceased, and Peter Naylor, Vicar 7 times removed in Warren Road. I have been on the NCA management committee for more than 40 years and Chairman for 32 years and it has never been mentioned that we have separate Trustees for the land and the Association. I can't find anything in the piles of paperwork amassed over the years to verify this. Enclosed with that letter was a 30 page document from Osborne Clarke LLP, acting on behalf of Cornerstone Telecommunications, informing us that if we don't agree to a borehole survey, then they will attempt to gain permission frorn the Land Tribunal to gain entry for their survey without our permission. I was also contacted by Esther Valencia of Gillan Consulting and Peter Maynard of Waldon Telecom to put further pressure on us to allow the borehole. l informed them that even the borehole survey would cause disruption to our hires. We would have to close for the day a5 our rear fire escape route would be inaccessible and, it is well documented that at a very shallow depth, it is solid chalk. Just a look at the building plans will show them that there are no seNices. l informed them all, and also the Reigate and Banstead planning department, that we will vigorously oppose the erection of a mast on the land that is currently used by Nork Park Rangers to store equipment as there is no other space on our land to move it to. This could be the demise of the football club, as all other areas are used as recreational space for young and old who use the Community Association for their activities and private parties. We can't be put in a position to explain to potential hires that while they are in our outside area, workers in hi vis jackets may suddenly appear to carry out maintenance. I have also had concerns raised by worried parents who would be hesitant in allowing their young children to frequent a property with a telephone mast as they are concerned (rightly or wrongly) about reports of radiation being emitted from the equipment. Our concern is that with the10ss of the football club's donation and the loss of revenue from private hires, it could be the demise of a valuable asset to the community that ha5 Stood on the land in question for over 60 years.
