AGENDA
1.
Declarations of Interest
Any Member present (including non-Committee Members) to
declare any personal or prejudicial interests and the nature of
that interest, in any item of business on the agenda and, if
necessary, to leave the meeting prior to discussion of that
item.
Members who also serve as County, Town or Parish Councillors
are reminded of the need to make declarations in respect of any
item which directly concerns the business of the appropriate
authority.
Declarations are a personal matter for each Member to
decide. Whilst officers will advise on the Code
of Conduct and its interpretation, the decision to declare, or not,
is the responsibility of the Member, based on the particular
circumstances.
2.
Minutes
To approve as a correct record the Minutes of the
meeting held on 29th June 2006
(2).
To approve or otherwise the recommendations of the
Borough Planning Officer contained within the report
(3).
The Committee considered and approved the above application at
its meeting on 1st June 2006. The
report of the Borough Solicitor (4) gives details of a correction
to the Minutes of the meeting which the Committee is invited to
approve.
The report also invites the Committee to grant authority to
the Borough Planning Officer, in consultation with the Borough
Solicitor to amend the legal agreement, which forms part of the
permission, where
necessary.
In August 1986, a legal agreement was entered into between the
Borough Council and Mrs & Mrs Holman, the owners of an
agricultural workers dwelling (now known as Walnut Croft) on land
adjacent to Barretts Cottage, Poole.
Mr & Mrs Holman wish to sell Walnut Croft but consider
that the agreement, which prohibits using the land and dwelling for
any purpose other than agricultural and requires that the dwelling
and land to be retained in the same ownership is
onerous.
As there is no provision in law to discharge the Section 52
Agreement, the Committee is invited to resolve that no enforcement
action be taken in relation to the
agreement.
An application has been received to divert part of Public
Footpath No.5 in the Parish of Blakenhall to enable development to
be carried out at Hayes Farm, Mill Lane,
Blakenhall.
Objections have been received to the original order and
the report of the Borough Solicitor recommends that a new Order be
made to enable development to be carried
out.
The Committee is invited to appoint five members in the ratio
2 Conservative, 2 Labour, 1 Liberal Democrat/Independent to the
Conservation Area Sub-Committee Evaluation
Team.
Information report of the Borough Planning
Officer (8).

Solicitor(9).
