To provide an opportunity for Members and Officers to declare any disclosable pecuniary and non-pecuniary interests and for Members to declare if they have a pre-determination in respect of any item on the agenda.

In the interests of openness in respect of application 12/4866W, Councillor H Davenport declared on behalf of himself and Members of the Board the that the Council may be a user of the site in the future, along with other organisations, however it was not considered that this was a close enough association to affect Members’ judgment or fetter their discretion.

In respect of the same application, Councillor J Hammond declared that whilst he had no involvement in discussions relating to this application his imminent appointment as Chairman of the Shadow Board of the proposed company to deliver Waste Management Services could give the public perception that he had a non pecuniary interest.  In the interests of total openness and transparency he declared that he would leave the room prior to the application being determined.
