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: There were none. |

for the following reasons:
1. It has not been demonstrated that the modelling methodology applied within the submitted Transport Assessment is acceptable. As such it has not been demonstrated that the proposed development would not have a severe adverse impact on the local highway network.

The proposal is therefore contrary to the requirements of Policy A2 of the South Ribble Local Plan.
