As Councillor Kelcher (Chair) had submitted his apologies for absence Councillor S.Butt (as Vice-Chair) took the chair for the meeting.

Members are invited to declare at this stage of the meeting, the nature and existence of any relevant disclosable pecuniary or personal interests in the items on this agenda and to specify the item(s) to which they relate.

In relation to Agenda Item 4: 24/2877 - 1 Walm Lane, London, NW2 5SN - the Chair advised that due to his publicly stated position against the provision of gambling establishments within the borough and to avoid any allegations of bias or pre-determination, Councillor Johnson had declared a personal disclosable interest and therefore withdrawn from the meeting for the consideration of that item.

In relation to Agenda Item 5 25/0413 – Land North of 125 Preston Road, Wembley, HA9 8NN - all members of the Committee (with the exception of Councillor Mahmood attending as a substitute) confirmed they had received an approach from the applicant and owners of  the neighbouring property (as objectors) but had not engaged in discussion or sought to take any position on the application and therefore felt able to consider the application impartially and without any form of predetermination.

No other declarations of interest were made during the meeting.
