Declaration of 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.

Minutes:

Cllr Nikos Souslous declared an intertest in Item 5  Pocklington Lodge, as he was a trustee of Hammersmith United Charities which owns and runs John Betts House immediately opposite Pocklington Lodge. He remained in the meeting but did vote on Item 5.

Minutes:

Cllr Nikos Souslous declared an intertest in Item 5 –  Pocklington Lodge, as he was a trustee of Hammersmith United Charities which owns and runs John Betts House immediately opposite Pocklington Lodge. He remained in the meeting but did vote on Item 5.

 

An addendum was circulated prior to the meeting that modified the report.

 

Anisa Aboud provided a presentation on the application. A resident spoke in objection and the Chief Executive of the Pocklington Trust and the Agent spoke in support of the application.

 

During the course of discussions, the Committee noted the objector had raised a number of concerns about the impact on the existing occupants of the main building. These included the safety of existing tenants during the construction phase, with the noise, dust and disorientation this would cause for blind tenants, and their guide dogs. In addition, the impact of adding a further 15 persons to the site was also highlighted.

 

The presenting officer explained that these would be taken into account in the details to be presented with the Construction Management Plan to be submitted by the developer and approved by the Council under condition 24. It was agreed condition 24 could be amended to make clear that in approving the Construction Management Plan, the specific needs of the residents would be safeguarded and this would be done under Recommendation 2 which permitted minor changes to the conditions with the consent of the Assistant Director of Legal Services and the Chair of the Planning and Development Control Committee.

 

The Committee voted on the officer recommendations for approval as amended by the Addendum and the minor changes to Condition 24 to safeguard the specific needs of the residents pursuant to the authority under Recommendation 2 as follows:
