Issue - meetings

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 pre-determined any item on the agenda.

The following declarations were made in the interests of openness:

With regard to application number 17/6233C, Councillor B Walmsley declared that she was a member of Middlewich Town Council but that she had not taken part when the application was discussed.  There had been a lot of interest in Middlewich and she had been approached by members of the public, including one of the speakers at today’s meeting, but she had not discussed the application with them.  Some time ago, she had been approached by the developer as part of the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group.  The plans had changed dramatically since then and there had been no recent contact, so she had not discussed her views.  Councillor Walmsley stated that she retained an open mind and would assess the application on its planning merits.

All Members of the Committee declared that they had received correspondence with regard to application number 18/4879N.
