RECOMMENDATION: Grant Conservation Area Consent, subject to conditions.

The Committee considered a report, previously circulated, for Conservation Area Consent in respect of 12 Denewood Road, N6. The report set out details of the site and surroundings, the proposal, planning history, relevant planning policy and assessment of the application, and recommended that consent be granted.

On a vote, it was:

RESOLVED

Reason: In order to comply with the provisions of Section 18 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.

2.      The demolition hereby permitted shall not be undertaken before a contract for the carrying out of the works of redevelopment of the site has been made and full planning permission has been granted for the redevelopment for which the contract provides.

Reason: In order to ensure that the site is not left open and vacant to the detriment of the character and visual amenities of the locality
