Agenda and minutes

Apologies for absence were provided by Councillor Asif Siddique

At the start of the meeting the Chair will carry out a roll-call of committee members to confirm attendance. Members will also have an opportunity to declare any interests.

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 Standards Committee.

For transparency, Councillor Alex Karmel confirmed he had met one of the speakers in objection to the Ada Lewis application about 15 years previously. As he considered this would not prejudice his vote, he remained in the meeting and voted on the item.

To approve as an accurate record, and the Chair to sign, the minutes of the meeting of the Committee held on 2 February 2021.

The minutes of the meeting held on 2 February 2021 were agreed.

This was seconded by Councillor Alex Karmel.
