Declarations of Interest

1.2

Councillor Kennedy declared a personal but not prejudicial interest in Application BH2007/040086, 188 Surrenden Road. The applicant was known to her and although she had not predetermined the application she stated that she would leave the meeting during consideration of the application and would take no part in the discussion or voting thereon. Mr Pennington, Brighton & Hove Federation of Disabled People stated that he had written letters of objection as a neighbouring resident, relative to applications BH2007/04388 and BH2007/04387, 24 Castle Street but that these had subsequently been withdrawn. The Development Control Manager confirmed that a note formally withdrawing Mr Pennington’s original objections had been prepared and would be placed on file. Mr Pennington confirmed that in the event he made any comments during discussion of either application it would be in his capacity as a representative of The Brighton & Hove Federation of Disabled People and not in any other capacity.
