Issue - meetings

Partial demolition of existing industrial unit and erection of 4 x 2 bedroom self contained maisonettes.

RECOMMENDATION: Grant permission subject to conditions and a Section 106 Agreement.

The Committee considered a report, previously circulated, which set out application, the site and its surroundings, planning history, relevant planning policy, consultation responses and analysis. The Planning Officer presented the key features, and advised the Committee of changes to the report, which were the relocation of the cycle store to the rear of No. 17 to ensure that access was not obstructed, the change of drawing numbers 06a and 07a to 06b and 07b and the deletion of the wording “to front onto Archway Road” from paragraph 1.1 under recommendation 1 on page 85 of the agenda pack.

The Committee considered the plans.

In response to questions from the Committee, it was confirmed that no representation had been received from the Bowes Park Residents Association in relation to the application, and that no additional comment had been received from Cllr Matt Cooke further to his original objection. The Committee discussed the possibility of including copies of the original representations received, where there was not a significant number of consultation responses, in order that the Committee could see the full context of those representations and it was agreed that Planning Officers would consider this as part of a review of the information presented to the Committee.

The Chair moved the recommendations of the report and it was:

HGY/2010/2066, subject to a pre-condition that the owners of the application site shall first have entered into an Agreement or Agreements with the Council under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) towards ensuring that the residential units are defined as ‘car free’ and therefore no residents therein will be entitled to apply for a residents parking permit under the terms of the relevant Traffic Management Order controlling on-street parking in the vicinity of the development.

(1.1)        A sum of £1,000.00 towards the amendment of the relevant Traffic Management Order(s) (TMO) controlling on-street parking in the vicinity of the site to reflect that the 4 new residential units shall be designated ‘car free’ and therefore no residents therein will be entitled to apply for a residents parking permit under the terms of the Traffic Management order(s) (TMO).

(1.2)        The developer to pay an administration / monitoring cost of £500.00 in connection with this Section 106 agreement.

2. That in the absence of the Agreement referred to in the resolution above being completed by 30^th June 2011, planning application reference number HGY/2010/2066 be refused on the grounds that:

In the absence of a formal undertaking to secure a Section 106 Agreement for this scheme to be ‘car free’ the proposed development would be contrary to policies M9 ‘Car Free Residential Developments’ and M10 ‘Parking for Development’ of the adopted Haringey Unitary Development Plan 2006.
