Item 5a,

20/01940/FUL – Demolition of existing external stores and construction of new

one bedroom dwelling

Buttercup House, 33 High Street, Bovingdon

Cllr Beauchamp declared an interest.

‘’I will be declaring a potential personal interest in this application and will withdraw from any involvement in the decision making process; as my nephew is the architect for the application 20/01940/FUL and 20/01941/FUL I believe any opinions I might express could be misconstrued by the public on the basis that I had been unfairly influenced, which is not the case. However, I am concerned that my participation could potentially put the Council in a difficult position.’’

The Case Officer, Robert Freeman, introduced the report to Members and said that the application had been referred to the Committee in view of the contrary recommendation of the Parish Council.

It was proposed by Councillor Durrant and seconded by Councillor Hobson to Grant the application in line with officers recommendations.

Cllr Maddern had left the meeting for this item and did not take part in the voting.
