Agenda and minutes

Apologies for absence were received from Councillors Wesley Harcourt and Rebecca Harvey.

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.

The Chair, Councillor Omid Miri declared an  interest in relation to item 4 – Shepherd’s Bush Police Station, as he worked for the Office of Andrew Slaughter MP who had submitted written comments in objection to the application. Councillor Omid Miri recused himself from the item and did not participate or vote.

To approve as an accurate record, and the Chair to sign, the minutes of the meeting of the Committee held on 6 June 2023.

The minutes of the previous meeting held on 6 June 2023 were agreed as an accurate record, subject to amending Cllr Alex Karmel’s declaration of interest (Item 4 - 70-80 Lillie Road) to read that he lived 4 doors away and the property was sold many years ago.
