Listed building consent is sought for HGY/ 2011/0194; the demolition of 1940s extensions to listed villa and replacement with new single storey extension; repairs to fabric and re-planning of interior; extension of terrace to Archway Road to accommodate 4 self contained flats; erection of a detached 4 bedroom residential unit to front onto Cholmeley Park with an associated off-street car parking space; removal of specified trees and planting of new trees and hard and soft landscaping to the site.

RECOMMENDATION: GRANT LISTED BUILDING CONSENT subject to conditions.

The Committee considered a report, previously circulated, regarding an application for Listed Building Consent. The report set out the application, site and surroundings, planning history, relevant planning policy and recommendation.

It was moved by Cllr Schmitz and seconded by Cllr Reece that the application be rejected on the grounds that the proposed development to the rear of the site, by reason of its siting, design and footprint represented a cramped form of development which would have an unsympathetic relationship with the listed building and adjoining properties, furthermore the introduction of such a development to this part of the site would not preserve the character or the appearance of the Conservation Area, contrary to CSV1. On a vote it was:

RESOLVED

That application HGY/2011/0194 be refused on the grounds that the proposed development to the rear of the site, by reason of its siting, design and footprint would represented a cramped form of development which would have an unsympathetic relationship with the Listed Building to the detriment of its character and setting. As such the proposal is considered to be contrary to policy CSV2 ‘Listed Building’ of the adopted Haringey Unitary Development Plan 2006 and supplementary planning guidance SPG2 'Conservation and Archaeology'.
