Tree preservation orders PDF 78 KB To confirm the following Tree Preservation Order:
65 Wood Vale, N10 Additional documents: Minutes: The Committee considered a report, previously circulated, seeking to confirm the Tree Preservation Order placed on the specified Weeping Willow located at 65 Wood Vale, N10.
Two objectors addressed the Committee, and stated that the method on which the TPO was based had been applied incorrectly; the score for the tree fell well below the threshold for a defensible TPO due to the poor condition of the specimen, which had been damaged by pollarding, the estimated remaining life span of the tree, its limited crown size and the fact that it was only visible from the street, with difficulty, between two houses. The owner of the site expressed concern regarding the damage caused by the tree to his property, the risk posed by possible structural damage caused to the tree as a result of the pollarding that had been undertaken and the future costs of maintaining the specimen under a TPO.
In response to a question from the Committee, the site’s owner confirmed that the tree roots were causing damage to the terrace of the property.
Marc Dorfman, Assistant Director, Planning, Regeneration and Economy, suggested that, in light of the evidence presented by the objectors, one of whom was an arboricultural professional, a temporary TPO be applied while the issues raised were looked into in greater detail, and the matter brought back to the next meeting of the Committee. The Committee agreed to pursue this course of action; it was further agreed that photographs of the tree would be included in the report when it was next considered, and the site would also be visited as part of the site visit for the next meeting.
RESOLVED
That this matter be deferred to the next scheduled meeting of the Planning Sub Committee. |

Pembroke Works, Campsbourne Road, N8 7PE PDF 1 MB Demolition of existing buildings and erection of a part 3, part 4 storey building containing 42 residential dwellings (use class C3) and 562 sqm of affordable commercial floorspace (use class B1) with associated parking and landscaping. RECOMMENDATION: Grant permission subject to conditions and to a section 106 legal agreement. Additional documents: Minutes: The Committee considered a report, previously circulated, on the application for planning permission at Pembroke Works, Campsbourne Road. The report set out details of the site and surroundings, images, the planning history, description of the proposal, relevant planning policy, consultation and responses, analysis of the application, sustainability, human rights and equalities issues and planning obligations, and recommended that the application be granted, subject to conditions and a section 106 legal agreement. Marc Dorfman gave a presentation outlining key aspects of the report, and advised that a meeting could be arranged with Members in order to consider the proposed materials to be used, prior to final approval of materials. The Committee examined the drawings and plans.
The Committee discussed the application, and raised the following points:
· The Committee noted the proposed level of affordable housing, and it was felt that this contradicted the stated policy of encouraging higher levels of affordable housing in the West of the borough. Mr Dorfman acknowledged that the level was relatively low, but advised that the Council was ensuring that affordable rents were set at no more than 32% of market rents. · Mr Dorfman confirmed that the section 106 agreement would include £23k for local employment and training skills. · The Committee expressed concern that the development would represent a change from skilled to unskilled work, in response to which Mr Dorfman advised that the scheme would deliver training and employment support for young people across a range of skill sets. · In response to a question from the Committee regarding the overall level of affordable housing in general, and when this would increase, Mr Dorfman reported that the current level of affordable units reflected that applications were being brought forward at a time when levels of subsidy were very low, and it was positive that affordable housing could be delivered in this environment, even at the low levels noted.
The Chair moved the recommendations of the report and it was:
