Declarations of Interests by Members in items on the Agenda for this meeting.
Minutes:
(1) Further to Minute 3(2) of 16 September 2008, Members discussed the implications for those Members who served on both the Board and the Planning Applications Committee, in particular when matters were presented to both Committees. The clear advice from the Legal Unit was to avoid a conflict of interest and for individual Members to decide at which meeting they wished to speak/vote on the matter, and then absent themselves from the other meeting, at least for the duration of that particular item.
(2) Members were informed that guidelines were being drawn up and would be circulated shortly.
(3) Mr Hayton, Mr Muckle and Mr Poole declared an interest in Item 6 – Permanent Lorry Park – An update on progress as Members of the Planning Applications Committee.
