Declarations of interest for agenda item 'Planning Applications'
- Councillor John Bevan - Personal - Councillors Bevan and Peacock declared interests with regard to item 9.2 on the Agenda; 725-733 Lordship Lane, and made the following statements.
Councillor Bevan said; ‘I wish to declare a personal interest in the decision to be taken under agenda item 9.2 tonight (725-733 Lordship Lane). I believe that the application for planning permission significantly affects the interests of the same organisation that has made a donation to a charity to the Tottenham Carnival when I was involved in my capacity as joint treasurer. This donation has not benefited me financially in any way but I thought it proper to bring it to the attention of this committee. I am confident that I can deal with the planning issues raised at this committee; uninfluenced by this charitable donation and that a reasonable person would not consider that my judgement of the public interest likely to be impaired. I have never met the person concerned other than at official planning meetings’.
Cllr Bevan remained in the meeting when the item was discussed but abstained when the vote was taken.

- Councillor Sheila Peacock - Personal and Prejudicial - Councillors Bevan and Peacock declared interests with regard to item 9.2 on the Agenda; 725-733 Lordship Lane, and made the following statements.
Councillor Peacock said, ‘I wish to declare a personal interest in the decision to be taken under agenda item 9.2 tonight (725-733 Lordship Lane). I believe that the application for planning permission significantly affects the interests of the same organisation that has made a number of donations to charities that I have been involved in while I was Mayor and in my capacity as Secretary of the Tottenham Carnival. Although I am confident that I would be able to come to a decision on the question solely on the basis of the planning arguments, I have decided in the interests of maintaining the highest standards of probity on these issues, to absent myself from the meeting when this item is considered’.
Cllr Peacock decided to withdraw from the meeting when this item was discussed and voted on.
