DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST
To note any declarations of
interest made by Members, including those restricting Members from
voting on the questions detailed in Section 106 of the Local
Government Finance Act, 1992.
Note from the Chief Executive
In accordance with the
Council’s Code of Conduct, Members must declare any personal interests they have in any item on the agenda or as
they arise during the course of the meeting. Members must orally indicate to which item their
interest relates. If a Member has a
personal interest he/she must also consider whether or not that
interest is a prejudicial personal interest and
take the necessary action. When
considering whether or not they have a declarable interest, Members
should consult pages 181 to184 of the Council’s Constitution.
Please note that all Members present at a Committee meeting (in
whatever capacity) are required to declare any personal or
prejudicial interests.
A personal
interest is, generally, one that would affect a Member (either
directly or through a connection with a relevant person or
organisation) more than other people in London, in respect of the
item of business under consideration at the meeting. If a member of the public, knowing all the
relevant facts, would view a Member’s personal interest in
the item under consideration as so substantial that it would appear
likely to prejudice the Member’s judgement of the public
interest, then the Member has a prejudicial personal
interest.
Consequences:
·
If a Member has a personal interest:
he/she must declare the interest but can stay, speak and
vote.
·
If the Member has prejudicial personal
interest: he/she must declare the interest, cannot speak or
vote on the item and must leave the room.
|
When declaring an interest,
Members are requested to specify the nature of the interest, the
particular agenda item to which the interest relates and to also
specify whether the interest is of a personal or personal and
prejudicial nature. This procedure is
designed to assist the public’s understanding of the meeting
and is also designed to enable a full entry to be made in the
Statutory Register of Interests which is kept by the Head of
Democratic Renewal and Engagement on behalf
of the Monitoring Officer.

PLANNING APPLICATIONS FOR DETERMINATION
|
5.1 |
Proposed Langdon Park Docklands Light Railway station, Carmen Street, London E14 (Report number SDC010/056) PDF 132 KB
Minutes:
Mr Richard Humphreys (Development Control)
introduced the report which assessed an application to build a new
station on an existing DLR line. Improving access to public
transport in this area had been a longstanding objective of the
council and local community. It would entail the demolition of the
existing footbridge at the site which was in poor condition, and
it’s replacement with one incorporating lifts, which would
also provide access to the station.
Part of Langdon Park would be required during
construction but be re-instated afterwards. Other schemes had
recently been approved adjacent to this site, and it was hoped that
by a combination of planning gain and highways powers, a
piazza-style entrance could be constructed from Carmen Street.
Although the scheme was referable to the GLA, they had indicated
support in principle.
In response to members’ queries, it was
confirmed that –
- The children’s’ play
equipment within Langdon Park would be resited elsewhere in the
park during construction, and re-instated with the whole affected
area landscaped, after completion
- The applicants would be required to
commission and submit the complementary works strategy which would
seek to identify possible sources of funding for associated
improvements. However DLR themselves would not necessarily be able
to contribute directly to these
- The design of the station,
footbridge and lift towers were in a contemporary style, but were
considered an overall improvement to a run-down area
It was unanimously AGREED that planning
permission be GRANTED subject to -
