Alexandra Park and Palace Advisory Committee - 10^th February 2009

With regard to minute No. APSC21 – Page 6 of the agenda pack the Chair informed the Committee that he would request an update on the progress of the “stock-taking” execise at the Palace (to find out how things were going and in which direction the palace was moving) and the Advisory Committee’s involvement in the away-day, where only Trustees had attended away-days until now.

Mr Aspden (Warner Estate Residents’ Association) highlighted that further to a meeting, the Advisory Committee normally received a table of resolutions including any responses or updates requested by Palace and Park officers in addition to the minutes of previous meetings.  The Chair would chase responses to any outstanding issues at the next Board meeting.

The Clerk would continue to provide a table of resolutions in future.

Alexandra Park and Palace Statutory Urgency Sub Committee - 21^st May 2009

A revised set of minutes was tabled.

The Chair explained that the meeting was held to consider an outline planning application for the Haringey Heartlands development. The Chair highlighted the two main issues raised by the Urgency Sub-Committee:  that the views would be adversely affected by the development and that the entrance to the Park from the development was through an unsatisfactory tunnel.

The Chair reported that since the Urgency Sub-Committee meeting he had written to the London Borough of Haringey Planning Department objecting to the fact that an outline planning application with no specific details was being considered and that due to the lack of detail in the application it was not possible to properly assess the impact that the development would have on the Park.  In response Planning Officers had asked the applicant to provide more information before the matter was submitted to the London Borough of Haringey’s (LB) Planning Committee for consideration.

The Urgency Sub-Committee had been unclear about whether the application being considered was an outline application for the whole development or simply an application regarding the access road into the Heartlands development.  Councillor Oatway reported that she had received confirmation that the application was in fact an outline planning application for the entire development.

The Chair invited the residents’ associations to make individual representations to the LB Planning Department.

Advisory Committee Members concurred with the view of the Urgency Sub-Committee; that the development would have a very bad impact on the Park and views from the Palace.

The Chair drew the Committee’s attention to Agenda Item 11 – Legal Advice Further to the Alexandra Park & Palace Statutory Advisory urgency Sub-Committee.
