Declarations of Interest Members are requested to indicate at this stage in the proceedings any items on the agenda in which they intend to declare an interest. Members are reminded that if the interest is a Disclosable Pecuniary Interest (as defined in the Members’ Code of Conduct) they must leave the room for the whole of that item. If the interest is not a Disclosable Pecuniary Interest, but is such that a member of the public could reasonably regard it as being so significant that it is likely that it would prejudice their judgment of the public interest (as explained in the Code of Conduct) then they may make representations, but then must leave the meeting for the remainder of the item. Minutes: Councillor Gareth Watson declared a prejudicial interest in item 6 – Land off Carrwood Road, Lostock Hall – and would not take part in the vote on this item.
Jonathan Noad (Director of Place and Development) also declared a personal interest in item 6.
Councillor Caleb Tomlinson declared a prejudicial interest in item 9 – 37 Clifton Avenue, Leyland – and would not take part in the vote on this item.
