Decision

That Flintshire County Councillor David Healey be granted dispensation under paragraphs (d), (f) and (i) of the Standards Committee (Grant of Dispensations) (Wales) Regulations 2001 to speak to and write to officers; and to speak for five minutes at meetings of the Planning Committee both in relation to the above application and also any application which, in the opinion of the Monitoring Officer, was similar. Councillor Healey would be advised that when he speaks to officers about the issue there would need to be an independent witness present and there must be minutes taken of any such meetings.

Councillor Healey could speak at the above meetings about the issue but should leave the meeting once he has spoken and before the matter was debated and voted on.  Before speaking at any such meetings about the issue Councillor Healey should still declare his interest in the matter and confirm that he has a dispensation to speak about it. The same applies to any written communications with officers.  The dispensation to be granted for 12 months, ceasing on 4th February 2025.
