Declarations of Interest

You are invited to declare any registerable and/or non-registerable interests in matters appearing on the agenda, and the nature of that interest.

 

You are also requested to complete the Declarations of Interests card available at the meeting and return it to the Democratic Services Officer before leaving the meeting.

 

You are also invited to disclose any dispensation from the requirement to declare any registerable and/or non-registerable interests that have been granted to you in respect of any matters appearing on the agenda.

Minutes:

Councillor M Hall declared a non-registerable personal interest and withdrew from the meeting during consideration of planning application 22/0456/FULH, Bay View Bungalow, Norma Crescent, because she lived in Norma Crescent, in close proximity to Bay View Bungalow and she considered the interest to be so significant that it was likely to prejudice her judgement.

 

Councillor J Shaw sated that she lived at the opposite end of Norma Crescent, she could not see Bay View Bungalow from her property and she did not know the occupiers of the property. On this basis she judged that it was not necessary to declare any interest in relation to planning application 22/0456/FULH, Bay View Bungalow, Norma Crescent.

 

Councillor J O’Shea stated that as ward councillor he had met with the applicant in relation to planning application 22/0456/FULH, Bay View Bungalow, Norma Crescent to offer advice on how to lodge an appeal and he had submitted a request that the matter be referred to the Committee for consideration. Councillor O’Shea stated that during these discussions he had not had sight of the planning officers report or recommendation on the matter, had not expressed an opinion on the proposed fence and he had not predetermined the application.
