d)      BK/07/00807/LDC:  Unit 6, Ricebridge Works, Brighton Road, Bolney:  Erection of two smoking shelters.  This is an application to establish whether the proposed development is lawful; this will be a legal decision where the planning merits of the proposed development cannot be taken into account.  NO COMMENT.

e)      BK/07/00813/FUL&BK/07/00814/LBC:  Bolney Cottage, Foxhole Lane, Bolney:  Kitchen and garden room extension and reconstruction of storm porch at ground floor, extension to master bedroom at first floor, all at rear of existing property.  NO OBJECTION.
