APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE To receive any apologies for absence. 2. 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 1 Page 1 DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE, 08/02/2006 SECTION ONE (UNRESTRICTED) 5.1 Wapping Womens Centre, Pinchin Street, London E1 1PD (Report number DC037/056) Mr Matthew O’Donnell introduced the report, which assessed an application for alterations and an extension to provide a day-care centre. The objections had been to the loss of 8 car-parking spaces and more intensive use of the facility. The authority’s highways engineers considered that the loss of spaces could be absorbed within the area, and had also pointed out that public transport accessibility was good. While it undoubtedly would lead to increased use of the centre, the significant benefits of this had to be balanced against any detrimental effects, and on balance it was recommended for approval. Ms Sufia Alam, on behalf of the applicant, emphasised the educational, social and recreational programmes currently provided in the centre for a very deprived community and area. The principal purpose of the extension was to provide day care as a satellite of Surestart Shadwell. Any hire of the hall would be for local events and stay strictly within the permitted hours. Members praised the work done presently by the centre and welcomed the proposed childcare provision. It was unanimously AGREED that planning permission be GRANTED subject to the conditions, legal agreement and informative outlined below: Conditions 1) Full time. 2) Landscaping plan to be submitted and approved by the Local Planning Authority. 3) A Travel Plan shall be submitted and approved by the Local Planning Authority before the proposed building is occupied. 4) If any suspected contamination, or unusual or odorous ground conditions should be notified to the Local Planning Authority. 5) Materials to be submitted for approval. 6) Hours of construction. 7) Hours of use, Monday to Friday, 9am to 9pm: Saturday and Sunday, 10am to 8pm. A Section 106 agreement to secure the following The replacement of existing trees. Informative With regard to condition 3 above (Travel Plan) the applicant is advised to discuss the scope of the report and mitigation measures with Council’s Transport Department, Mulberry Place, London E14 2BE, 0207 364 6926. The meeting ended at 7.47 p.m. _________________ ___/___/06 Chair, Councillor Rofique U Ahmed Development Committee 2 Page 2 Agenda Item 4 DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE OLYMPICS DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE PROCEDURE FOR HEARING OBJECTIONS AT COMMITTEE MEETINGS 1.
