Agenda and minutes

Members will disclose any pecuniary and any other significant interests they may have in relation to the matters under consideration.

Councillor Ingham declared an Other Significant Interest in Item 03 – 18/00742/FUL – Erection of detached garage – 6 Ruskin Avenue, Thornton Cleveleys, Lancashire, FY5 2RS as he had initially spoken with the applicant over the phone, about the application, before the application came before Planning Committee. He had then passed the Applicants information onto a Ward Councillor for the Marsh Mill area. However, he felt such that this may give rise to a perception of a conflict of interest and left the room before the item was being discussed and had no involvement in the decision making.
