Erection of 4 storey building comprising 3 commercial units at ground floor level and 16 residential units over first, second and third floor levels. RECOMMENDATION: grant permission subject to conditions and the completion of a s106 legal agreement. Additional documents: Webcast for 34. Minutes: The Committee considered a report, previously circulated, on the application to grant planning permission for the erection of a 4 storey building comprising commercial and residential units at 530-536 High Road N17. The report set out details of the proposal, the site and surroundings, planning history, relevant planning policy, consultation and responses, analysis, equalities and human rights implications and recommended to grant permission subject to conditions and the completion of a s106 legal agreement. The Planning Officer gave a short presentation highlighting the key aspects of the report. A previous application for the site had been refused under delegated powers in March, with a revised application subsequently submitted for current consideration. The attention of the Committee was drawn to three tabled documents: a revised list of proposed conditions with more precise wording and the inclusion of a condition covering waste storage and recycling facilities; the minutes of the Haringey Design Panel held on 16 May; and a number of additional consultation responses. In discussing the application, the Committee raised the following issues: · Concerns were raised regarding the lack of consultation with councillors representing wards adjacent to the application site, particularly in light of the potential knock on impact on traffic in the area. Officers agreed to take this point forward. · The importance of the design quality of the proposed winter gardens was emphasised, including privacy features. It was agreed that a condition could be imposed requiring the applicant to submit details of the winter gardens design to the Council for approval. · Members expressed concern over the potential for future noise issues to arise in the new flats from the service yard at the rear utilised by the commercial units on the site, particularly in relation to hours of operation for deliveries. It was agreed that a condition could be imposed to appropriately limit the hours of use of the service yard. · Opportunities to improve the appearance of the boundary fence to Wilson’s Avenue and the visual impact of the service yard were queried. It was agreed that a condition could be added requiring details of boundary treatment to be submitted to the Council for approval. · Clarification was requested on the refuse storage arrangements for the development and it was agreed that this could be added as a condition. · Members requested that the Committee be provided with the opportunity to view the materials proposed for the development once available. Two local residents, Mr Mohamedally and Ms Armour, addressed the Committee in objection to the application and raised the following issues in their presentations and responses to questions from the Committee: · The importance of replacing the landmark Post Office building originally on the site with one of high design merit. · The design and massing of the proposed building was not appropriate and would have the effect of narrowing the surrounding area. · Concerns remained despite the revisions made to the initial application, that the mix of flats proposed was unsuitable in terms of too few family units being provided and that the development ... view the full minutes text for item 34.
