The Committee received the report.

 

Members requested that Officers investigate having Members of the public on the Board and also that the Board reports back to this Committee in an official capacity.

 

An additional recommendation was moved by Councillor Zinkin and seconded by the Chairman:

 

That the Committee instruct the Deputy Chief Executive to pay particular attention in finalising the Agreements to ensuring the Council’s influence is adequately reflected in the governance arrangements.

 

The additional recommendation was unanimously agreed.

 

The Committee proceeded to vote on the recommendations in the report,

Which were unanimously agreed as follows:

 

RESOLVED that the Committee:

 

  1. delegate authority to the Deputy Chief Executive in consultation with the Chairman of this Committee to finalise and enter into a Site Assembly Agreement and Land Agreement with Joseph Partners in order to progress the redevelopment of North Finchley;

 

  1. delegate authority to the Deputy Chief Executive in consultation with the Chairman to appropriate the Council-owned land and/or land acquired from any third party, for planning purposes if required;

 

  1. note that the Site Assembly Agreement and Land Agreement require the Council to commit sites for development. Should this involve a recommendation to dispose of Council assets, this will be brought forward to a future Committee. Should there be a need to assign the agreements to a third party then a Committee decision will be sought;

 

  1. instruct the Deputy Chief Executive to pay particular attention in finalising the Agreements to ensuring the Council’s influence is adequately reflected in the governance arrangements.
