Agenda and minutes

To approve as an accurate record, and the Chair to sign, the minutes of the meeting of the Committee held on 11 January 2017.

RESOLVED THAT:

The minutes of the meeting of the Planning and Development Control Committee held on 11 January 2017 be confirmed and signed as an accurate record of the proceedings.

Apologies for absence were received from Councillor Cartwright.

If a Councillor has a disclosable pecuniary interest in a particular item, whether or not it is entered in the Authority’s register of interests, or any other significant interest which they consider should be declared in the public interest, they should declare the existence and, unless it is a sensitive interest as defined in the Member Code of Conduct, the nature of the interest at the commencement of the consideration of that item or as soon as it becomes apparent.

At meetings where members of the public are allowed to be in attendance and speak, any Councillor with a disclosable pecuniary interest or other significant interest may also make representations, give evidence or answer questions about the matter.  The Councillor must then withdraw immediately from the meeting before the matter is discussed and any vote taken.

Where Members of the public are not allowed to be in attendance and speak, then the Councillor with a disclosable pecuniary interest should withdraw from the meeting whilst the matter is under consideration. Councillors who have declared other significant interests should also withdraw from the meeting if they consider their continued participation in the matter would not be reasonable in the circumstances and may give rise to a perception of a conflict of interest.

Councillors are not obliged to withdraw from the meeting where a dispensation to that effect has been obtained from the Audit, Pensions and Standards Committee. 

Councillor Alex Karmel declared an interest in respect of Thames Wharf, Rainville Road, London W6 9HA as he had eaten at the River Café. He considered that this did not give rise to a perception of a conflict of interest and, in the circumstances it would be reasonable to participate in the discussion and vote thereon.

The Committee heard a representation in support of the application by the

Agent on behalf of the applicant stating that the applicant had worked in close partnership with the council to agree an acceptable design, layout and finish. Detailed discussions had taken place on the bulk and massing of the proposal. The original design had proposed a façade, however, this had evolved and the proposal now retained the original building. The proposal would contribute to the modernising agenda of the service, offer increased cycle parking beyond those set out in the London Plan and enhance public safety.
