Comment:

Cllrs Rippon-Swaine and Thierry disclosed non-pecuniary interests as members of Ringwood Town Council which had commented on the application and also had supported the project with grant funding. Cllr Rippon-Swaine concluded that there were no grounds under common law to prevent him from remaining in the meeting to speak but he did not vote.  Cllr Thierry disclosed a further, disclosable pecuniary interest on the basis that the applicant was a client of his business.  Having left the meeting he took no part in the consideration and did not vote.

 

The Committee considered that the applicants had not submitted sufficient evidence to demonstrate that there were no means of electrifying this clock without removing the mechanism, which formed part of the fabric and reason for listing of this historic building.

 

 

 

Decision:

That consideration of this application be deferred for further research and negotiations.
