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.

PRE/2019/0212 - (a) NORTHUMBERLAND TERRACE (NOS. 790 TO 794 AND NOS. 798 TO 808 HIGH ROAD, N17) AND LAND TO THE REAR AND (b) NO. 807 HIGH ROAD N17 pdf icon PDF 112 KB

Proposal: The majority of the proposed development would be on the east side of the High Road. However, the redevelopment of No. 807 on the west side of the road would facilitate the relocation of the Co-operative Funeral Care business and potentially the existing dentist surgery, which are currently at No. 806 and 802 High Road respectively.

 

East side of the High Road (Northern Terrace and land to rear)

(a) Erection of a new four storey building to the west of Lilywhite House for flexible A1/A2/A3/B1/D1/D2 use, including the demolition of the locally listed rear extension to No. 814 High Road, and new hard/soft landscaping works; (b) Internal and external repairs, enhancements and minor alterations to the statutory and locally listed buildings along the High Road to facilitate their meaningful future reuse for a flexible range of uses within the A1/A2/A3/B1/D1/D2 use classes; and (c) the demolition of rear extensions to Nos. 798, 800/802, 804/806 and 808 High Road and the erection of new rear extensions to Nos. 800/802 and 804/806 and 808 High Road.

 

West side of the High Road (No. 807)

(b) Redevelopment of No. 807 High Road to provide a four-storey building comprising retail (A1) on the ground floor, a business/dentist surgery on the first floor (B1/D1) and two dwellings (C3) on the upper floors. There would be a second four-storey building at the rear, joined by a covered parking area with a landscaped courtyard on top, to provide seven dwellings (C3). There would be nine dwellings in total.

The majority of the proposed development would be on the east side of the High Road.

The Planning Officer and representatives for the applicant delivered a presentation on plans for the scheme. The representatives provided the Committee with a detailed handout on the proposals.

 

The Chair thanked the representatives for their presentation and invited Committee Members to raise any comments or questions. The following was discussed:

·         The representatives noted the linear building was there to mediate the scale of Lilywhite House.

·         Regarding access, the intent was to create much cleaner access, with a one direction through-route at the side of the site.

·         The developers wanted to create a vibrant space that people wanted to visit.

·         The cycle parking was to be completely replaced with a new and secure gated facility. Access was to be provided to those residents who owned cycle parking but there would also be cycle parking available to the public.

·         It was suggested the proposals for 807 could be bolder.

·         The proposed buildings would be a mixture of brick and steel structure, with the steel structure not being visible. The linear building would be a steel structure but  ...  view the full minutes text for item 390.

PPA/2019/0012 - LOCK KEEPERS COTTAGES, FERRY LANE pdf icon PDF 899 KB

Proposal: Demolition of existing houses and erection of a three to six storey mixed-use development including a café at ground floor, office space on ground and first floors and thirteen flats on the floors above.

Additional documents:

Minutes:

The Committee considered an application for the demolition of the existing houses and erection of a 3-6 storey mixed-use development including a café at ground floor, approximately 690 sq.m. of office space on the ground to first floors and 13 flats on the floors above. The scheme would be a ‘car free’ development with 1 accessible parking space provided approximately 100 metres from the main residential entrance on Hale Village. The proposal would provide an Estate Management Office for Hale Village to replace the existing temporary office on Millmead Road.

 

The Planning Officer and representatives for the applicant gave a presentation on plans for the scheme.

 

The Chair thanked the representatives for their presentation and requested more detailed and tailored visuals for the scheme be made available before any future applications. The Chair then invited Committee Members to raise any comments or questions. The following was discussed:

·         The Committee had serious concerns over the wheelchair accessible car parking space for the site. The Committee was not convinced by the proposal for the single car parking space that was required for the wheelchair accessible unit being provided off-site within the existing Hale village development. This was considered too unreasonable and too far from the development. It was noted that it was a policy requirement for a development of this size to provide a wheelchair accessible unit.

·         There was concern the area was already over developed.

·         The representatives noted that the primary purpose of the scheme was to provide Lee Valley Estates with a head office so that they could continue employing people in the area. The secondary purpose was to provide estate management. However, the scheme was only viable with the residential element. 

·         There was concern surrounding entrances to the towpath and also the balconies over the towpath. The representatives noted there was some overlap onto the towpath on the eastern elevation, but this would only be by around 800milimetres, with none of the balconies hanging over the canal.

·         The representatives noted they had worked closely with the Canal and River Trust over this development, who they claimed were supportive of the scheme. It was suggested that the developers contribute to the refurbishment of the lock. The representatives responded that they had held discussions with the Canal and River Trust and would provide written confirmation of any agreements made between the two before any future application. They claimed there had been an assurance from the Trust that, were the development to go ahead, then the locks would become a priority to be fixed.

·         The representatives accepted the plans were close to the set boundaries, but this was done to utilise all the available space.

·         There was concern over the usage of green walls in the scheme.

·         The Committee sought to see the Applicant’s individual responses provided to each recommendation raised by the QRP. The representatives agreed and informed they had already adopted some of the proposed changes by the QPR, such as moving access from the tow path to Ferry Lane  ...  view the full minutes text for item 391.
