RESOLVED: (1) That, in accordance with the Local Government (Access to Information) Act 1985, the following agenda items be admitted late to the agenda by virtue of the special circumstances and grounds for urgency detailed below:-

Agenda item	Special Circumstances/Grounds for Urgency
Addendum	This contained information relating to various items on the agenda and was based on information received after the agenda’s dispatch. It was admitted to the agenda in order to enable Members to consider all information relevant to the items before them for decision.

17. Retrieval of Planning Support Charge for Section 106 Agreements	This report was not available at the time the agenda was printed and circulated. Members were requested to consider this item as a matter of urgency.
18. Charging for Pre?Application Planning Advice	This report was not available at the time the agenda was printed and circulated. Members were requested to consider this item as a matter of urgency.

23. Variation of Section 106 Agreement, Clementine Churchill Hospital, 9 Sudbury Hill, Harrow	The Deed of Variation was drafted and negotiated by the developer’s solicitors and the Council’s legal officer and was due to be sealed on 19 July 2006. A final matter, however, arose whereby Legal Services required evidence that a charge on the land had been discharged. As an assurance, the Council required an undertaking that the charge be removed. Only the chargee’s solicitors (not a party to this matter) could give this undertaking and was received outside the extended timeframe granted by Development Control Committee (DCC) authority for completion. Accordingly, Legal Services were unable to seal the Deed of Variation and required an extension of authority to complete. The Deed was ready to be sealed but needed authority to do so. The next DCC meeting was not until September and it would hold up use of the temporary endoscopy unit, IVF clinic and enhanced pathology department at the hospital to wait until then.

(2) to note that Item 19 – 102, 104, 106 High Street, Harrow on the Hill, had appeared on the agenda in error and that a report on this item would not be considered at this meeting;

(3) that all items be considered with the press and public present.
