112PC/17	APPROVE MINUTES

	It was RESOLVED that the minutes of the meeting held on 5 March 2017 were a true and correct record of the meeting and the Chair was duly authorised to sign on behalf of the council.  

113PC/17	DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST ON MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE MEETING
a)	Because the parish council is a landowner in the planning application (the area of land where the MUGA is proposed) and will receive S106 contributions from the development, the council must declare a pecuniary interest.  As this would affect all councillors, which would prevent discussion of the planning applications, it was RESOLVED to grant a dispensation under paragraph 2(a) of Section 33 of the Localism Act 2011 for all councillors to speak and vote at this committee meeting so the business can be transacted.
b)	The Parish Council is sole trustee of Pitstone Parish Charity.  Because the parish charity is a landowner in the planning application (old allotment site), the parish council as trustee of the charity, must declare a pecuniary interest.  As this would affect all councillors, which would prevent discussion of the planning applications, it was RESOLVED to grant a dispensation under paragraph 2(a) of Section 33 of the Localism Act 2011 for all councillors to speak and vote at this committee meeting so the business can be transacted.
c)	Cllr Starling declared an interest as a resident of Vicarage Road.
d)	No other declarations of interest were declared, or dispensations requested, by members of the council.
