Declarations

Councillor Nigel Smith - Non Pecuniary - as the ward member. He stated that he would step down from the chair and leave the meeting for the consideration of the item

Councillor Nigel Smith - Non Pecuniary - “I am here tonight to contribute to the debate on the Capital Programme and a confidential item in relation to Cropston Drive/Waterworks Road. Item 15 – Waterworks Road/Cropston Drive – to consider the recommendations from Cabinet and the proposed method of disposal. Item 11 – the Capital Programme Update, which references the Marlborough Centre in the Regenerating Coalville section of the report - to make a decision on the budget for the project. The recommendations are set out in the reports on the agenda. I note that both of these reports have been considered by the Cabinet and Scrutiny before this evening. I recognise that as a member of the Planning Committee, I may be asked to determine a planning application in relation to these sites through that committee at a later date. In the event that I participate in that decision-making process, I will do so with my planning hat on and having regard to all the advice and material before me at that time and having regard to the discussion and debate at that meeting. I will not let my participation tonight predetermine any decision I may make at that Planning Committee. My comments tonight will be to inform Council to make a decision on the recommendations in the reports. In the event that I participate in the decision-making process at Planning Committee, I will be making my own decision on the matter before me at that time”.
