Decision:
To authorise the Head of Legal Services to
prepare and seal a S.247 Agreement Under the Town and Country
Planning Act 1990 in relation to the Stopping Up of a section of
footway on Monument Way, which is within the demise of Transport
for London’s (TfL) Highway. The legal fees and costs
associated with the agreement is to be paid by the
applicant.
Reasons for the decision:
Authorisation is being sought for the stopping
up under s247 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 in order
that the proposed development can be implemented in accordance with
the approved plans. The Stopping Up application relates to the
development at Land north of Monument Way and South of Fairbanks
Road, which was granted full planning consent by London Borough of
Haringey on 21st December 2017. The planning application reference
is HGY/2016/2184 and the applicant is Newlon Housing Trust. The
Notice of Planning Permission is included in the documents attached
to this report.
The area to be stopped up consists of a narrow section of shared
footway (for pedestrians and cyclists) in Monument Way. The area
measures 154m in length with varying widths along its length,
ranging from less than 1m to 6m at its widest point. This area is
shown on the attached plan (Drawing No. 101 02 Rev. P1.)
Stopping Up of the existing shared footway (for pedestrians and
cyclists), located along the northern side of Monument Way was
identified under the consented development, to facilitate the
realignment of Fairbanks Road, removal of an existing brick
boundary wall and public realm improvements between Fairbanks Road
and Monument Way, aimed at improving permeability for pedestrians
and cyclists. It should be noted that additional highway
improvements in Monument Way, complementary to the public realm
improvements to be implemented in the subject area, will be
delivered as part of the s278 highway Works for Monument Way
– agreed under the consented development.
The proposed stopping up of the section of adopted highway
concerned has no implications for the Council, as Highway
Authority, financial or otherwise. The area to be stopped up is
part of Transport for London’s highway and once it is stopped
up it will be included within the demise of the consented
development, and as such, maintenance will be at the expense of the
developer.
