Members are required to identify the nature of the interest and the agenda item to which it relates. In the case of other interests, the member may speak and vote. If it is a pecuniary interest, the member must withdraw from the meeting when it is discussed. If it affects or relates to a pecuniary interest the member has, they have the right to make representations to the meeting as a member of the public but must then withdraw from the meeting. Members are also requested when appropriate to make any declarations under the Code of Practice on Planning and Judicial matters. Have you declared the interest in the register of interests as a pecuniary interest? If Yes, you will need to withdraw from the room when it is discussed. Does the interest directly: 1. Affect yours, or your spouse / partner’s financial position? 2. Relate to the determining of any approval, consent, licence, permission or registration in relation to you or your spouse / partner? 3. Relate to a contract you, or your spouse / partner have with the Council 4. Affect land you or your spouse / partner own 5. Affect a company that you or your partner own, or have a shareholding in If the answer is “yes” to any of the above, it is likely to be pecuniary. Please refer to the guidance given on declaring pecuniary interests in the register of interest forms. If you have a pecuniary interest, you will need to inform the meeting and then withdraw from the room when it is discussed. If it has not been previously declared, you will also need to notify the Monitoring Officer within 28 days. Does the interest indirectly affect or relate any pecuniary interest you have already declared, or an interest you have identified at 1-5 above? If yes, you need to inform the meeting. When it is discussed, you will have the right to make representations to the meeting as a member of the public, but must then withdraw from the meeting. Is the interest not related to any of the above? If so, it is likely to be another interest. You will need to declare the interest, but may participate in discussion and voting on the item. Have you made any statements or undertaken any actions that would indicate that you have a closed mind on a matter under discussion? If so, you may be predetermined on the issue; you will need to inform the meeting, and when it is discussed, you will have the right to make representations to the meeting as a member of the public, but must then withdraw from the meeting.

The Greater Norwich Planning Policy Manager explained that the Regulation 19 Stage was not a consultation per se, but would allow stakeholders to submit representations in respect of whether the plan was legally and procedurally compliant and ‘sound’ (positively prepared, justified, effective and consistent with national policy). It would not be necessary to show compliance with the Duty to Cooperate, as there was no unmet need amongst neighbouring authorities. ‘Stakeholders’ could include anyone with an interest in the plan, but their comments would only be taken into account by the independent examiner if they related to the above criteria. The period of publication when representations could be received was from 1 February to 15 March 2021. It was emphasised that Regulation 19 was not a stage to object to proposed sites on development management grounds. Objectors to the allocation of a site would have to provide evidence that the allocation of a site had been procedurally wrong or unsound and out of line with national policy. Changes to the plan had been made as a result of the Regulation 18 consultation, as well as changes to national policy. This included an overall increase in the number of homes to address a shortage of affordable housing, as had been made clear in the Government consultation paper ‘Planning for the Future’. However, it should also be noted that 75 percent of housing had already been allocated in the existing plan and that 5,000 homes had been delivered.
