Minutes:
199a Declarations of substitutes
199.1 Councillor K Norman was present in substitution for Councillor Cobb. Mrs Selma Montford was present in substitution for Jim Gowans (Conservation Advisory Group). It was noted that Councillor Phillips had given her apologies but had been unable to send a substitute, therefore there were 11 Members present at the meeting.
199b Declarations of interests
199.2 Councillor Wells declared a personal and non prejudicial interest in applications BH2012/03806 and BH2012/04087, 33 Mighell Street and 70a Carlton Hill, Brighton. He explained that the architect was known to him as the architect had carried out work for him. He confirmed in response to questions by the legal adviser to the Committee that he had not determined the application and that he remained of a neutral mind, he would therefore remain present at the meeting during consideration and determination of the application.
199c Exclusion of the Press and Public
199.3 In accordance with Section 100A of the Local Government Act 1972 (“the Act”), the Planning Committee considered whether the public should be excluded from the meeting during consideration of any item of business on the grounds that it is likely in view of the business to be transacted or the nature of the proceedings, that if members of the public were present during it there would be disclosure to them of confidential information as defined in Section 100A (3) of the Act.
199.4 RESOLVED - That the public are not excluded from any item of business on the agenda.
