Declarations of interest Minutes: Minute 23 application 20/00676/VAR Cllr Lygo declared that he would take no part in this item as his involvement as ward councillor in discussions with residents, officers, and Friends of Lye Valley on the development gave a perception that he was not impartial. Cllr Roz Smith said she had previously been, but was no longer, a member of Friends of Lye Valley and was approaching the application with an open mind.
Minute 24 application 20/01018/FUL Cllrs Taylor and Tanner declared that although they had called this application in for determination by committee, they were approaching it with an open mind and no pre-determined view. |
