Additional documents:

Minutes:

Neil Goldberg, Planning Officer, provided a short presentation on Haringey’s Draft Transport Strategy.  The Strategy was an overarching document which set out the transport objectives and priorities that would provide the context for preparing more detailed plans, policies and bids for investment and works over the next 10 years.  It was important to note that this document was a high level strategy document and that the action plans would provide a higher level of detail in relation to achieving the objectives and priorities.

 

The Chair asked for comments from the Committee, and explained that the strategy along with any comments would be taken to the next Cabinet meeting for approval.

 

The Committee made a number of comments regarding cycling and air quality and were advised by the Planning Officer that these comments would more appropriate when discussing the action plans, as these would contain more detail than the high level strategy document.

 

Members of the Committee requested further information around parking issues near the Spurs stadium and Emma Williamson agreed to send a briefing via email detailing the actions being taken.

ACTION: Emma Williamson, Assistant Director for Planning

 

The Chair moved the recommendation and it was

 

RESOLVED that the draft Haringey Transport Strategy be noted and referred to Cabinet for approval on 17 October 2017.

Planning Obligations Supplementary Planning Document pdf icon PDF 132 KB

This report introduces a revised draft Planning Obligations Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) which updates the extant 2014 version in light of the adoption of the Haringey Local Plan documents in July 2017, and to provide up to date guidance on when the Council will seek Planning Obligations from development. It is intended, subject to Cabinet approval, that this SPD is publicised for public consultation.

Additional documents:

Minutes:

Matthew Patterson, Head of Policy, Transport & Infrastructure Planning, introduced the report as set out.  The purpose of the report was to seek comments from the Committee before referring to Cabinet for approval to consult on the revised Supplementary Planning Document (SPD).  The revised SPD provided greater clarity to the Council’s approach to the functioning of the planning process and procedures for securing planning obligations.

 

The Chair invited comments from the Committee.  NOTED:

-           Paragraph 5.61.  There needed to be clarity when using the word ‘council’ as it seemed to be used to refer to both the council as the Local Authority, and as the Planning Committee.

-           Paragraph 6.34.  The use of the word ‘vicinity’ was vague.

-           Paragraph 7.30, 2nd bullet point.  Consideration should be given as to whether the training cost of £2800 should be provided, as any changes to the figure would in theory require re-approval of the whole document.

-           Paragraph 8.15.  It should be made clear that owners of properties in car free developments can apply for visitors permits.

 

The Chair moved the recommendation and it was

 

RESOLVED that the Draft Revised Planning Obligations Supplementary Planning Document be referred to Cabinet for the approval of publication of the document for public consultation in accordance with the Haringey Statement of Community Involvement (2016).

TO FOLLOW

Minutes:

Matthew Patterson, Head of Policy, Transport & Infrastructure Planning, introduced the report as set out.  The Authorities Monitoring Report (AMR) monitored the effectiveness of implementing Haringey’s local planning policies.  It also monitored progress in the preparation of the Local Plan, as well as the Council’s performance in processing planning applications and appeals.

 

The Chair invited comments from the Committee.  NOTED:

-           Appendix 5.1, table at A6.  It would be useful to include a column which stated if a scheme had been implemented.

-           Page 4 (development management performance, 1st bullet point).  The numbers did not add up.

-           Page 14, table 2 at paragraph 3.2.2.  It would be useful to include an explanatory footnote setting out the difference between conventional and non-conventional completions.

-           Paragraph 3.2.41.  The last sentence should read “It requires those who wish to change from a single dwelling…”

-           Paragraph 3.6.4.  The figures for bikehangars needed to be checked.
