 Declarations of interest for agenda item 'Report of the Director (Planning) - A.1 - TDC Response to National Grid Statutory Consultation on Norwich to Tilbury Electricity Powerline Connection Project'

• Councillor Zoe Fairley - Pecuniary - Councillor Fairley declared a Disclosable Pecuniary Interest and a Non-Registerable Interest as follows:- “The land area to be impacted by the proposed cable routes, pylons and substations within the District of Tendring is vast, but my family do own and farm land along these routes and this is the same for wider family members and friends. I've been granted a dispensation under section 33(2)(c) of the Localism Act 2011, allowing me to participate and to vote. “The reason for the Monitoring Officer’s granting of the dispensation was on the grounds that it is in the interests of persons living in the authority’s area for the dispensation to be granted. I am the sole ward Councillor for the area and the Council is not the decision maker regarding the proposals, although it has an opportunity to voice its residents’ and businesses’ concerns, and act in the best interests of the District.”
