Declarations of Any Interests Members are reminded of their responsibility to declare any personal interest in respect of matters contained in this agenda. If the interest arises only as result of your membership of another public body or one to which you have been appointed by the Council then you only need to declare it if you intend to speak.
If the personal interest is a prejudicial interest, you must withdraw from the meeting. Normally you should leave the room before the business starts to be discussed. You do, however, have the same right to speak as a member of the public and may remain in the room to enable you to exercise that right and then leave immediately. In either case you must not seek to improperly influence a decision on the matter. Minutes: There were no declarations of interest. |

The Legal Officer declared that the motion to refuse planning permission was carried and it was RESOLVED – To refuse the outline planning permission for the following reason:
1. The development, redevelops and expands the Carrington Centre retail provision and provides housing development that was required in order to subsidise the redevelopment of the commercial element. The scale of the overall development would change the character and community of Eccleston from a ‘village’ character with smaller (including size) groups of shops and services and employment to that of a ‘town’ with very much centralised and larger shopping & services resulting in the feel of a much larger centre.
2. The benefits of the development in maintaining and expanding the retail and service provision and in providing employment did not outweighed by the harm caused by the change in character of Eccleston Village associated with the scale of the overall development including the scale of the supermarket element.
