PLANNING PROTOCOL

The Planning Committee abides by the Council’s Planning Protocol 2017.  A factsheet covering some of the key points within the protocol as well as some of the context for Haringey’s planning process is provided alongside the agenda pack available to the public at each meeting as well as on the Haringey Planning Committee webpage.

 

The planning system manages the use and development of land and buildings.  The overall aim of the system is to ensure a balance between enabling development to take place and conserving and protecting the environment and local amenities.  Planning can also help tackle climate change and overall seeks to create better public places for people to live, work and play.  It is important that the public understand that the committee makes planning decisions in this context.  These decisions are rarely simple and often involve balancing competing priorities.  Councillors and officers have a duty to ensure that the public are consulted, involved and where possible, understand the decisions being made.

 

Neither the number of objectors or supporters nor the extent of their opposition or support are of themselves material planning considerations.

 

The Planning Committee is held as a meeting in public and not a public meeting.  The right to speak from the floor is agreed beforehand in consultation with officers and the Chair.  Any interruptions from the public may mean that the Chamber needs to be cleared.

Minutes:

The Chair referred to the planning protocol and this information was noted.

Minutes:

The Sub-Committee considered an application for a hybrid planning application seeking permission for 1) Outline component comprising demolition of existing buildings and creation of new mixed-use development including residential (Use Class C3), commercial, business & service (Use Class E), business (Use Class B2 and B8), leisure (Use Class E), community uses (Use Class F1/F2), and Sui Generis uses together with creation of new public square, park & associated access, parking, and public realm works with matters of layout, scale, appearance, landscaping, and access within the site reserved for subsequent approval; and 2) Detailed component comprising Plot A including demolition of existing buildings and creation of new residential floorspace (Use Class C3) together with landscaping, parking, and other associated works (EIA development – ES viewable on Council website & at The Grange N17).

 

Mr Philip Elliott, Planning Officer, presented the item. In response to questions from Members, Mr Elliott informed the Sub-Committee that:

·         Additional objections had been received from Tottenham Hotspur FC, the Metropolitan Police Service Security Advisor, and other interested parties.

·         There were some clarifications and corrections which were set out in full in the addendum. He note that there was an error on page 66 of the agenda papers In table X Line 2 should read social rent with 1730 hab rooms, 23.6%; and line 3 should read shared ownership with 1164 hab rooms, 15.9%.

·         Tottenham Hotspur had also submitted objections regarding crowd flow. The Council’s independent crowd flow adviser had considered the issues and felt that they had already been addressed.

·         The Metropolitan Police Service Security Advisor had clarified that they had no objection per se to the proposed development but highlighted the need for the crowd flow arrangements to be shared with Tottenham Hotspur, the British Transport Police, and emergency services for comment.

·         The calculation of 240 full-time posts had been derived from a provision of 392 minimum jobs based on the minimum floor space provision in the lowest employment generating uses.

·         The business relocation strategy would not result in job losses in the majority of cases as they would be reallocated elsewhere.

·         There was a package of design work for the reserved matters that would be subject to further assessments from both officers and members. The aim of this would be to maximise the number of multiple aspect units. In some cases, this would not be possible due to contextual constraints.

·         Where single aspect units were proposed, they tended to be in areas where there would be a better outlook on parks and open spaces. The range of floorspace and flexibility had been requested to allow the developer to respond to market needs.

·         The Sub-Committee was recommended to grant permission regarding the range of floorspace set out in the report.

·         There would be a potential net increase in jobs.

·         There was an existing health facility on site and a planning obligation to re-provide that floorspace.

·         There was an obligation to meet any uplift in healthcare demand. There was existing planning permission for a health facility at Tottenham Hotspur.  ...  view the full minutes text for item 8.
