Minutes:

RESOLVED that the minutes of the meetings held on Thursday 29 July 2021, Thursday 9 September 2021, Thursday 23 September 2021 and Thursday 21 October 2021 be signed as a correct record.

 

Councillor Lynne Hale, on behalf of the Sanderstead Residents, had raised comments relating to specific details not mentioned within the minutes. Following a review, the Chair clarified that the minutes for the Planning and Planning Sub-Committees were in line with the standard practice which addressed the decisions made at the meeting and not a verbatim record. There was an accompanied webcast that addressed Planning meetings in full.

 

Further, the Chair made note to the minutes of the meeting held on Thursday 29 July 2021 where there were comments raised by members of the public of incorrectly highlighting that the webcast of the meeting was available; it was confirmed that the content of the minutes had now reflected the comments raised where the webcast was not available.

 

The minutes of the meetings were agreed by Members of the Committee who were present at the dated meetings.

Disclosure of Interest

Members and co-opted Members of the Council are reminded that, in accordance with the Council’s Code of Conduct and the statutory provisions of the Localism Act, they are required to consider in advance of each meeting whether they have a disclosable pecuniary interest (DPI), an other registrable interest (ORI) or a non-registrable interest (NRI) in relation to any matter on the agenda.  If advice is needed, Members should contact the Monitoring Officer in good time before the meeting.  

 

If any Member or co-opted Member of the Council identifies a DPI or ORI which they have not already registered on the Council’s register of interests or which requires updating, they should complete the disclosure form which can be obtained from Democratic Services at any time, copies of which will be available at the meeting for return to the Monitoring Officer.

 

Members and co-opted Members are required to disclose any DPIs and ORIs at the meeting.  

·    Where the matter relates to a DPI they may not participate in any discussion or vote on the matter and must not stay in the meeting unless granted a dispensation.  

·    Where the matter relates to an ORI they may not vote on the matter unless granted a dispensation.   

·    Where a Member or co-opted Member has an NRI which directly relates to their financial interest or wellbeing, or that of a relative or close associate, they must disclose the interest at the meeting, may not take part in any discussion or vote on the matter and must not stay in the meeting unless granted a dispensation.  Where a matter affects the NRI of a Member or co-opted Member, section 9 of Appendix B of the Code of Conduct sets out the test which must be applied by the Member to decide whether disclosure is required.

 

The Chair will invite Members to make their disclosure orally at the commencement of Agenda item 3, to be recorded in the minutes.

 

Minutes:

There were no disclosures of a pecuniary interest not already registered.
