Minutes:
In the interest of openness in respect of application 13/2035 N, Councillor J Hammond declared that he was a member of the Cheshire Wildlife Trust who had been consulted on the application, however he had not made any comments in respect of the application.
In the interest of openness and total transparency in respect of applications 10/0692W and 13/3774W, Councillor J Hammond declared whilst he had no involvement in discussions relating to these applications, his appointment as a Director of the Shadow Board of ANSA Environmental Services Ltd who would be delivering Waste Management Services on behalf of the Authority could give the public perception that the Company of which he was a Director of had a pecuniary interest. As a result he left the room prior to consideration of both of the applications and returned to the meeting only once the decision had been made.
In the interest of openness in respect of agenda item 8 (Consultation report), Councillor P Edwards declared that he was a member of Middlewich Town Council who had been a consultee on the application.
In the interest of openness in respect of the same item, Councillor S Wilkinson declared that he had traded with some of the companies involved in the report.
