PLANNING PROTOCOL The Planning Committee abides by the Council’s Planning Protocol 2016. 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. Additional documents: Minutes: Noted. |

52-68 Stamford Road N15 Proposal: Demolition of existing building and erection of a mixed use development comprising 1140 sqm (NIA) of commercial floorspace (Use Class B1) and 48 residential units (Use Class C3), together with associated vehicular access, car and cycle parking spaces, bin stores, plant, landscaping and amenity space.
RECOMMENDATION: GRANT planning permission and authorise the Head of Development Management to issue the planning permission and impose conditions and informatives subject to the signing of a section 106 Legal Agreement providing for the obligations set out in the Heads of Terms. Additional documents: Minutes: The Committee considered a report on the application to grant planning permission for the demolition of existing building and erection of a mixed use development comprising 1140 sqm (NIA) of commercial floorspace (Use Class B1) and 48 residential units (Use Class C3), together with associated vehicular access, car and cycle parking spaces, bin stores, plant, landscaping and amenity space.
The Planning Officer gave a short presentation highlighting the key aspects of the report.
The Committee raised a number of questions and issues, responses to which are summarised as follows: - The viability appraisal referred to at paragraph 6.1.29 of the report was confidential as it had been carried out before the decision had been taken to make all appraisals public. - The main aim of the build was to improve the existing office space for the Applicant, and in order to make the scheme viable, the housing element had been included. - There would be an affordable workspace element as opposed to affordable housing, as the Applicant wanted to provide affordable space to new businesses to develop and grow. The 50% reduction was for a ten year period. The Applicant had decided on a ten year period so that they would have the option of increasing their own workspace should they need to in ten years. - In relation to employing local people, the Applicant explained that he currently employed people from Haringey and neighbouring boroughs, and ran an apprenticeship scheme which was advertised in Haringey schools.
Councillor Bevan proposed a motion that the affordable workspace should be provided for 25 years. This was not seconded and so the motion fell.
The Chair moved that the application be granted and following a vote it was
RESOLVED
i) That the Committee resolve to GRANT planning permission and that the Head of Development Management is authorised to issue the planning permission and impose conditions and informatives subject to the signing of a section 106 Legal Agreement providing for the obligations set out in the Heads of Terms below.

CONDITIONS:
