A town or parish councillor
who has a prejudicial interest in a matter which is under
consideration by the council may not participate unless he or
she has first obtained a dispensation from the Standards Committee.
You can apply for a dispensation by downloading and
completing the form below and sending it to the Monitoring
Officer. Please remember that dispensations have to be
dealt with at a properly constituted meeting of the Standards
Committee. Therefore you should allow sufficient time for that
meeting to be called and proper notice given. Your application
should be sent to the Monitoring Officer no less than 14 days
before the date when the matter is to be considered.
