A member of the public has pointed me into the direction of documents that can be found on-line.
That clearly show former Cllr Matthew Taylor who is employed by SSR Planning Northampton after being employed by Rutland County Council. He was co-opted onto Oakham Town Council just before the Town Council was asked to consider plans to build new homes at Catmose College by Stamford homes.
Cllr Matthew Taylor did not declare an interest at Oakham Town Councils planning committee.
I wonder why his friend Cllr Alf Dewis who also used to work for Rutland County Council, did not point this out as he knew where his friend works.
Documents clearly show Rutland County Council works with SSR Planning on behalf of Stamford Homes &
Allison Homes.
No wonder Rutland County Council leader Roger Begy states planning is the baine of him.
It is not yet known that former councillor Matthew Taylor resigned due to the above or if it was related to past bullying of a member of his ward.
UPDATE:
The Town Clerk has pointed out the following:
Martin
I have been asked to point out to you that former Cllr Matthew Taylor did declare a Personal and Prejudicial interest in the planning application relating to the Stamford Homes application at the Vale of Catmose College site. The draft minutes of that meeting are attached.
The Committee has not met since the 17th November and these draft minutes will be considered for approval at the meeting scheduled for the 16th February
Richard
The member of the public disputes this.
