Item 5b,

20/01941/FUL - Demolition of existing garages and construction of new garagesand first floor one bedroom dwelling

Garages opposite 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.
