Dated this 6th day of June 2008 Chief Executive Notes 1. A personal interest exists where a decision on a matter would affect to a greater extent than other people in the District – (a) the well-being, financial position, employment or business of the Councillor, their family or any person with whom they had a close association; (b) a body employing those persons, any firm in which they are a partner and any company of which they are directors; (c) any corporate body in which those persons have a beneficial interest in a class of securities exceeding the nominal value of £25,000; or (d) the Councillor’s registerable financial and other interests. 2. A personal interest becomes a prejudicial interest where a member of the public (who has knowledge of the circumstances) would reasonably regard the Member’s personal interest as being so significant that it is likely to prejudice the Councillor’s judgement of the public interest.

SOMERSHAM CONSERVATION AREA: BOUNDARY REVIEW AND CHARACTER STATEMENT By way of a report by the Planning Policy Manager (a copy of which is appended in the Minute Book), the views of the Panel were invited on the content on the Somersham Conservation Area Boundary Review and Character Statement documents (copies of which also are appended in the Minute Book). Members were reminded that the District Council was committed to the production of Conservation Area Character Statements which provided an analysis of the special interests of all sixty Conservation Areas in the District. These documents would guide decisions on planning matters and other changes to the fabric of the Conservation Areas to ensure their character and appearance were not diminished. In addition, the Panel was advised that the boundary of the Somersham Conservation Area was first designated in 1974 and that the proposed new boundaries would better reflect the historic interest of the settlement, the wider setting of the village and significant views and vistas within the Parish. Having concurred in the importance of the work which was essential to protect the village from development pressures, the Panel RESOLVED that the content of the Somersham Conservation Area Boundary Review and Character Statement documents be endorsed and the Cabinet recommended to adopt both as Council policy. 10. DESIGN BRIEF - FORMER HEALTH AUTHORITY OFFICES, PRIMROSE LANE, HUNTINGDON (See Minute No. 8 for Members’ Interests.) Further to Minute No. 76, the Panel considered a report by the Head of Planning Services (a copy of which is appended in the Minute Book) containing an indication of early responses received to consultation on a design brief which examined the redevelopment opportunities presented by the site of the former health authority offices, south of Primrose Lane, Huntingdon. The Panel was advised that comments received thus far had expressed a wish to retain one of the two victorian/edwardian buildings on the site to maintain some of the historic fabric of the town. It was reported that the Primrose building contributed most to the character of the Conservation Area. Although the period of consultation with local and statutory bodies had yet to expire, Members RESOLVED that the Cabinet be advised that it would be the preference of the Panel to retain the Primrose building as part of future development of the site at Primrose Lane, Huntingdon but that consideration should be given to its demolition in the 2 event of a submission of a scheme of high quality for planning consent.
