RECOMMENDATION: Grant permission subject to conditions and subject to a s106 Legal Agreement.

The Committee considered a report, previously circulated, on the planning application relating to land rear of Corbett Grove, N22. The report set out details of the site and surroundings, planning history, relevant planning policy, consultation and responses, analysis of the application and recommended that the application be granted, subject to conditions and a section 106 agreement. The planning officer gave a presentation highlighting key aspects of the report, and responded to questions from Members.

The following points were discussed:

• The Committee was advised that the site had not previously been developed, but was not designated as a Greenfield site.
• Advice was received from the Legal officer that it was a material consideration that a previous application had been granted on the site.
• In order to address the concerns raised by the Planning Inspector in respect of the previous scheme, it was reported that this scheme incorporated increased landscaping to the side of the houses of Type B, and that the end house was now further recessed from the railway.
• It was confirmed that the plans permitted adequate access for refuse vehicles and that no concerns had been raised by Waste Management in respect of the proposals.
• In response to a question regarding the Planning Inspector’s concerns regarding the size of the smallest garden of the Type B houses under the previous scheme, it was confirmed that under the new proposal the smallest garden was now 69m².

The Committee examined the plans relating to this application. It was confirmed that the applicant was willing to use a different material than the cedar cladding suggested in the application, and it was agreed that this could be addressed by means of an informative.

The Chair moved the recommendations of the report, with the additional informative relating to the use of material other than cedar cladding, and it was:
