69a Declarations of Substitutes
69.1 Councillor K Norman was present in substitution for Councillor Wells. It was noted that apologies had been received from Councillor Kennedy.
69b Declarations of interests
69.2 Councillor Mrs Theobald stated that she had a personal but not prejudicial interest in one of the applications set out in the report detailing decisions made by officers under their delegated powers. Councillor Theobald was advised that as the application had been determined and she had had no part in that process that she was not required to declare an interest.
69.3 Prior to this item being presented before Committee Councillor Hamilton declared a personal but not prejudicial interest in relation to Application BH2011/00142, 9 Hampton Place. During the course of the meeting he had become aware that he had taught the applicant some thirty years previously when teaching at a local grammar school. He confirmed that he remained of a neutral mind and that as such he would remain present during consideration of the application and would take part in the discussion and voting thereon.
69c Exclusion of the press and public
69.4 In accordance with Section 100A of the Local Government Act 1972 (“the Act”), the Planning Committee considered whether the public should be excluded from the meeting during consideration of any item of business on the grounds that it is likely in view of the business to be transacted or the nature of the proceedings, that if members of the public were present during it, there would be disclosure to them of confidential information as defined in Section 100A (3) of the Act.
69.5 RESOLVED - That the public be not excluded during consideration of any item of business on the agenda.
