Councillor M Collins declared that in relation to item four of the agenda (application 23/01216/APP), he felt that he had become predetermined in his judgement. He felt that it would be inappropriate to participate in the debate and vote on the item, and so would make a statement as a Buckinghamshire Councillor in the public speaking section, before leaving the room until the item had been determined.

Councillor A Waite declared a personal interest in agenda item four (application 23/01216/APP) as one of the Buckinghamshire Council members who had called the application in for consideration at the committee. Councillor Waite clarified that he still had an open mind on the application, was not predetermined, and felt able to participate fully in the consideration of the item.

Councillor D Thompson declared a prejudicial interest in item six (application 23/01691/APP) as he was a Council appointed Director of Aylesbury Vale Estates, which was the owner of the land on which this application site was located. He would leave the room for the duration of the consideration of the item.
