Development comprising of construction of one industrial building accommodating 3,627 (39,047ft) of gross internal B8 and B1 employment floorspace with ancillary trade counter, together with revised site access and associated highway works, signage and sustainable urban drainage.

RECOMMENDATION: Grant permission subject to conditions and subject to sec.106 Legal Agreement or deed of variation to the current S106 Agreement.

The Committee considered the report of the Director of Place and Sustainability regarding the application for planning permission at 550 White Hate Lane, N17. The report set out the site and surroundings, proposal, planning history, relevant planning policy, consultation and responses and analysis of the application, and recommended that the application be granted, subject to conditions and subject to a section 106 Legal Agreement or deed of variation to the current s106 Agreement. The Planning Officer gave a presentation outlining key aspects of the report, and advised that an additional recommendation was proposed such that the Section 106 Agreement could provide for a £70k highways contribution for the works. The agreement would note the intention that only £70k in total be payable as a highways contribution between this and the scheme for the Bridisco site approved on 12 September 2011.

• In response to a question regarding whether the vehicle movement figures given in the report related to the entire site, or just the section covered by this proposal, it was confirmed that they related to the site as a whole. It was clarified that, while the applicant had referred to the morning peak as 9 to 10am, the council defined this as 8 to 9am, which accounted for any discrepancy in the figures regarding the morning peak.

• It was proposed that an additional condition be added regarding local employment.

The Chair moved the recommendations of the report including the additional recommendation that the Section 106 Agreement include a £70k highways contribution and the additional local employment condition and it was unanimously:
