DISCLOSURES OF INTEREST

(Members Code of Conduct - Part 4A of the Constitution)

 

To receive disclosures of interests from Members and co-opted members on matters to be considered at the meeting. The disclosure must include the nature of the interest.

 

An interest must also be disclosed in the meeting when it becomes apparent to the Member during the meeting.

 

Notes:

 

(1)       Members may remain in the meeting and take part fully in discussion and voting unless the interest is a disclosable pecuniary interest or an interest which the Member feels would call into question their compliance with the wider principles set out in the Code of Conduct.  Disclosable pecuniary interests relate to the Member concerned or their spouse/partner.

 

(2)       Members in arrears of Council Tax by more than two months must not vote in decisions on, or which might affect, budget calculations, and must disclose at the meeting that this restriction applies to them.  A failure to comply with these requirements is a criminal offence under section 106 of the Local Government Finance Act 1992. 

 

(3)       Members are also welcome to disclose interests which are not disclosable pecuniary interests but which they consider should be made in the interest of clarity.

 

(4)       Officers must disclose interests in accordance with Council Standing Order 44.

Minutes:

Councillor Rickard disclosed an interest in relation to 17 Victoria Avenue, Ilkley (Minute 46(c)) as he was a member of Ilkley Town Council and had taken part in a meeting when it had considered the planning application.  He therefore withdrew from the meeting during the consideration of the item in accordance with the requirements of the Members’ Code of Conduct (Part 4A of the Constitution) and the Members’ Planning Code of Conduct (Part 4B of the Constitution).

 

Action: City Solicitor

(a)       Haworth Fire Station, Station Road,                 Worth Valley

Haworth, Keighley

Previous reference: Minute 41(b) (2018-2019)

 

Full planning application for demolition of existing building and construction of A1 food retail unit with parking and associated works and ATM machine at Haworth Fire Station, Station Road, Haworth - 18/02585/FUL

 

The Chair reminded Members that the application had been deferred at the Panel’s previous meeting on 27 February 2019 as the applicant had stated that the site plan being considered was not the correct version.  She informed the Panel that it had since been clarified that the Panel were considering the correct plan but, as there were two Panel Members in attendance who had not been present at the last meeting, the full presentation would be provided again by the Strategic Director, Place.

 

The Strategic Director, Place provided an appraisal of the application, as previously given at the Panel’s meeting on 27 February 2019. This again covered the main planning issues in respect of the principal of retail development and its position outside two Haworth Local Centres; the building design and the impact of development on heritage assets; and the highway safety implications.

 

In addition he reported on and tabled a plan (Revision L) which had been submitted by the applicant and which provided further clarification of the existing highway layout.  He also reported on the receipt of an additional objection since the previous meeting but stated that it did not raise any new issues than those already outlined in his report.  Members were informed of representations received in support and in objection to the application, including those received from representatives on behalf of the Spar convenience store, located on Station Road.  With regard to highway implications he also stated that the site was on the junction of Bridgehouse Lane and Station Road which had recently been reconfigured to include a mini roundabout.  He reported that the applicant had submitted additional highway drawings which would be negotiated with the highways department in relation to ensuring the highway works would be built to the correct specifications.  The plans also demonstrated how a 10.35 metre rigid delivery vehicle would be able to access and egress the site in forward gear and this was considered satisfactory for deliveries to the proposed store.  The size of the delivery vehicles would be limited to 10.35 metres as per Condition 8.  He then recommended the application for approval.

 

In response to Members’ questions, the Strategic Director, Place stated that:

 

·         The nearest trees were set back and remote from the site and would therefore be retained during building works.

·         The site was on the approach to a conservation area but was not inside it.

 

A Ward Councillor was present at the meeting and made the following points:

 

·         She had received a lot of comments locally; some people welcomed a new convenience store whilst others raised concerns about having two  ...  view the full minutes text for item 46.
