Cllr Peacock rejoined the Committee.

The Committee considered a report, previously circulated, in respect of the planning application at Lymington Avenue N22 6JB.

The Planning Officer gave a presentation outlining the key aspects of the application and responded to questions from the Committee.

·      In response to concerns about the potential for the overshadowing of properties in the roads to the rear of the scheme, the design elements proposed to mitigate these risks were noted including the stepped form of the development.

·      It was confirmed that further discussions would be required with the developers regarding the objection from a local resident to the location of a bin store backing onto 98 Pelham Road.

·      It was requested that an informative be added for the developers to consult with local ward Councillors with regards to the naming the scheme.
