Minutes:
Cllr Bevan identified in relation to item 9, Land at Hale Wharf Ferry Lane N17 9NF, that he sat on the Lee Valley Park Board which was adjacent to the site.
The Committee’s Legal Officer identified that the interest declared above would, inline with the Council’s constitution, ordinarily constitute a prejudicial interest. Once the full application came before the Committee for determination, he advised that it would be appropriate for Cllr Bevan to recuse himself for that item. Cllr Bevan noted this advice.
