Cllr Inman declared a personal interest in applications WA/2007/00930, WA/2007/0790 and WA/2007/00791 (Agenda items A.6 and B.1), as his property is adjacent to a farm owned by the applicant.

It was noted that the owner of the property at Runfold House, Runfold St George, Badshot Lea, which was the subject of the Enforcement Action Report (Agenda item 10), had been a Waverley Borough Councillor from 1991 – 1999 and in this capacity was known to the following Members: Cllrs Band, Mrs Beel, Byham, Mrs Cable, Mrs Cockburn, Mrs Ellis, Mrs Frost, Inman, Isherwood, Mrs Savage and Webster.
