Variation of condition 2 (plans and specifications) attached to planning permission HGY/2009/1122, to substitute existing drawings scheduled in the decision notice with revised drawings

RECOMMENDATION: That planning permission be granted, subject to conditions and subject to a s106 legal agreement

The Committee considered a report, previously circulated, in respect of a variation to the planning permission previously granted for 700-702 High Road, N17 0AE (HGY/2009/1122). The report set out details of the proposal, the site and surroundings, planning history, relevant planning policy, consultation and responses, planning obligations, human rights and equalities, and recommended that the permission be granted subject to conditions and a s)106 agreement. The Planning Officer gave a presentation outlining the key aspects of the application and responded to questions from the Committee.

The Committee raised concern about the design of the building frontage to Tottenham High Road and that the drawings provided in the application did not provide sufficient detail on a number of design aspects such as the impact of the proposed design on the side window to one of the adjacent buildings. Officers confirmed that the applicant had been asked to provide scale drawings of the frontage for consultation with the conservation officer and English Heritage. In light of this, the Committee passed a motion, seconded, that the application be deferred until more detailed, scale drawings of the frontage could be provided as well as further information on the design specification including proposed materials. This would help provide assurance to the Committee that the scheme would be in keeping with the design standard of the High Road. 

RESOLVED

·      That determination of planning application HGY/2012/0996 be deferred to a future Committee meeting to allow the applicant to submit the additional information requested above for consideration.
