Minutes:

There were no new Items of Urgent Business. The following reports were marked ‘to follow’ within the agenda pack and taken as late items of Urgent Business for the following reasons:

 

Item 7 ‘New Football Stadium and Associated Development at Tottenham – Land Appropriation and Agreement’

The report was late because it was subject to ongoing negotiations which could not be concluded in time to meet the deadline for the agenda dispatch. The report was too urgent to wait until the next meeting because the decisions required were key to the progression of the scheme and associated regeneration of Tottenham. 

 

Item 12 ‘Disposal of Council Properties’

The report was late because it needed to be amended at a late stage to take account of new information.

 

The report was too urgent to wait until the next meeting because deferral could delay capital receipts earmarked to support the capital programme in 2013/14.

 

Item 36 ‘Disposal of Hornsey Depot’

The report was late because it was subject to ongoing negotiations, which could not be concluded in time to meet despatch deadlines.

 

The report could not wait until the next meeting because a decision was required urgently to avoid unnecessary delay in the disposal and subsequent capital receipt on which elements of the capital programme would depend.
