Minutes:
The Committee agreed to a request to vary the order of the published agenda in order to take item 13 next.
The Committee considered a report, previously circulated, which set out the application in relation to land at Lawrence Road, N15 4EX, including the site plan, images, site and surroundings, planning history, proposal, relevant planning policy, consultation and responses, analysis of the application, human rights and equalities considerations. The report recommended that the application be granted, subject to conditions, a section 106 legal agreement and the direction of the Mayor of London. Mr Dorfman gave a presentation outlining key aspects of the report, which included an alternative design for the building on the corner of West Green Road and Lawrence Road, proposed by the applicants in response to criticisms of the original design. An addendum was also tabled at the meeting, setting out a number of revisions or corrections to the report, and additional consultation responses received.
The Committee examined the drawings and plans associated with the application.
Two local residents addressed the Committee in objection to the application, and raised the following issues in their presentations and responses to questions from the Committee:
Cllr Strickland, Cabinet Member for Economic Regeneration and Social Inclusion, Cllr Watson, local Ward Councillor and Cllr Bevan, Cabinet Member for Housing addressed the Committee with regards to the application, and responded to questions. Cllr Bevan noted that he was speaking in his capacity as design champion, rather than Cabinet Member for Housing.
