Declarations of Interest To receive declarations by members and officers of the existence and nature of any personal or prejudicial interests in matters on this agenda. Minutes: 2.1 Councillor Mohindra Gotz explained that a week before the meeting, all seven Members of the Committee were provided with a full set of papers including a detailed officer’s report on each application; together with bundles of every single letter or e-mail received in respect of every application, including all letters and emails containing objections or giving support. Members of the Committee read through everything in detail prior to the meeting. Accordingly, if an issue or comment made by a correspondent was not specifically mentioned at this meeting in the officers’ presentation or by Members of the Committee, it did not mean that the issue had been ignored. Members will have read about the issue and comments made by correspondents in the papers read prior to the meeting.
2.2 Councillor David Boothroyd declared that he was Head of Research and Psephology for Thorncliffe, whose clients were companies applying for planning permission from various local authorities. No current schemes are in Westminster; if there were he would be precluded from working on them under the company’s code of conduct. With regard to item 1, he declared that some Thorncliffe clients had engaged with Montagu Evans as planning consultants, and they are also representing the applicants at the Planning Major Application Sub-Committee. However he does not deal directly with clients or other members of project teams, and planning consultants are not themselves clients.
2.3 Councillor Peter Freeman declared that in respect of Item 1, he previously held the position of Deputy Cabinet Member for the Built Environment and had sat on a Planning Sub-Committee which had considered the Application previously. The application site is also located in Councillor Freeman’s Ward.
2.4 Councillor Jim Glen declared that in respect of Item 1, he was a Trustee of the Westminster Tree Trust.
2.5 Councillor Ruth Bush declared that in respect of Item 1, she was a Trustee of the Westminster Tree Trust

The Presenting Officer tabled the following amendments to the report and additional Condition.
Item 1 – 87A St. John’s Wood Terrace
Site Location Plan The site location plan reproduced on page 13 of the committee report is incorrect and does not include part of the rear garden of No.8 Ordnance Hill. The corrected site location plan is appended.
Amendment to Report No.1 – Projecting Balconies (Page 21 – Section 8.7.1) The projecting balconies above the car park entrance do not form part of this scheme and were referred to in error in the committee report.
Amendment to Report No.2 – Window to South West Elevation (Page 21 – Section 8.7.1) The reference to the introduction of a new window in the south west elevation is incorrect. Whilst the schemes approved in 2011 and 2014 introduced a second window at first floor level, the current scheme proposes only the retention of the existing window, which is to be obscure glazed and fixed shut.
Amendment to Report No.3 – Supplementary Noise Report (Page 22 – Section 8.7.1) A revised acoustic report has been submitted demonstrating compliance with the Council’s mechanical plant noise policies and therefore Condition 27, requiring a supplementary acoustic report is no longer required and will be omitted from the draft decision letter.
Amended Condition 17 (Amended/ additional text in red and struck through where deleted) For the avoidance of doubt, the
