Declarations of interest

 Declarations of interest for agenda item ''

  • Councillor Michael Bush - Pecuniary - Councillor Bush declared a Disclosable Pecuniary Interest (DPI) in relation to agenda items 5, 6 and 7, by virtue of the fact that he owned a piece of land which had been granted outline planning permission in December 2016 (15/00987/OUT). Councillor Bush confirmed that he had spoken to the Council’s Monitoring Officer (Lisa Hastings) and that she had granted him a dispensation for this meeting. The Council’s Monitoring Officer then confirmed that Councillor Bush had requested a dispensation from her and that it had been granted. The Monitoring Officer informed the Committee that it was reasonable to do so as his land ownership was the DPI. The land was referred to within the appendices to the reports as factual information in that it had been granted planning permission, but this actual fact was not the subject of any of the decisions that were before the Committee at the meeting.
