Agenda

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.

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.

This item presents the minutes of the previous meeting for approval and responses to actions raised at the previous meeting.

Richard Shwe (Interim Housing Director) will provide a verbal introduction to the Committee.

This report provides an update on the Council’s development programme and how it contributes to the commitment to see 3,000 new energy efficient homes constructed or underway in the borough over the next four years.

The report also outlines how the development programme embeds co-production with local residents at the heart of development activities, as well as the role the new council-led developments play in supporting the Council’s ambitious net-zero carbon targets.

At the meeting there will be an accompanying presentation, including an overview of the programme and an update on the Hartopp and Lannoy development project. The committee will hear from the scheme architects BPTW and the sustainability consultants Calford Seaden.
