Minutes:

The Committee considered an application for the approval of reserved matters relating to the scale of Plot 6 'The Community Health Building’ of planning permission HGY/2015/3000 granted on 15.04.2016 for the demolition of the existing stadium and the phased redevelopment of the site to provide a new stadium, hotel, Tottenham Experience; sports centre ('The Extreme Sports Building'); community and / or office uses; housing; health centre ('The Community Health Building'); and associated works.

 

Neil McClellan, Planning Officer, introduced the report as set out in the agenda. Neil McClellan presented both items for Tottenham Hotspur Football Club together.

 

Richard Serra (Applicant) was in attendance to answer any questions that arose.

 

The Applicant Team and Officers responded to questions from the Committee:

 

·                Following concerns previously raised by residents regarding the construction deliveries, Neil McClellan explained how the service yard would be used.  The addendum paper had also addressed the concerns raised by members during their site visit.

·                It was confirmed that the developers had signed up to the considerate constructers scheme and that each phase was subject to a construction logistics plan, as well as a post occupation and delivery service plan. There were also separate conditions for each aspect of the development. A resident’s liaison group had been set up which met every 2 months and was set to continue until the final part of the scheme was built out. Neil McClellan was satisfied that no additional conditions were required and that there was a robust framework of conditions already in place.

·                Reference was made to page 15 of the agenda pack, which set out the concerns raised. It was stated that these had been dealt with as part of the original outline application.

·                In response to the concern raised by residents regarding the hours of construction between 8am – 8pm, it was explained that the hours of construction were outside of the control of the planning regime. Following the discussion, Richard Serra indicated that they would be happy to adhere to the hours of 8am – 6pm on weekdays.

·                In response to a question regarding page 13 of the agenda and emergency access to the site, it was confirmed that emergency access would be maintained onto Worcester Avenue and that these matters had been agreed at the outline application stage.

·                In response to concerns raised regarding the lack of sufficient drawings for the design of the scheme, the key elevations were shown at the meeting and Neil McClellan Felt that they had sufficient information on the design details and control over the quality and appearance of the materials being used. Robbie McNaugher referred to the 4 key elevations and CGI view, which had been previously approved as indicative drawings at the outline application stage, and added that he was confident that the committee had sufficient information to determine the application.

·                Mr Serra confirmed that there had been no change from the previously approved outline application in 2016 and that the development would be funded by the football club, however the  ...  view the full minutes text for item 6.

HGY/2021/1039 - Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, 748 High Road N17 0AP - 'The Extreme Sports Building' pdf icon PDF 1 MB

Proposal: Application for the approval of reserved matters relating to the scale of Plot 4 'The Extreme Sports Building' of planning permission HGY/2015/3000 granted on 15.04.2016 for the demolition of the existing stadium and the phased redevelopment of the site to provide a new stadium, hotel, Tottenham Experience; sports centre ('The Extreme Sports Building'); community and / or office uses; housing; health centre ('The Community Health Building'); and associated works.

 

Recommendation: GRANT

 

 

 

 

Minutes:

The Committee considered an application for the approval of reserved matters relating to the scale of Plot 4 'The Extreme Sports Building' of planning permission HGY/2015/3000 granted on 15.04.2016 for the demolition of the existing stadium and the phased redevelopment of the site to provide a new stadium, hotel, Tottenham Experience; sports centre ('The Extreme Sports Building'); community and / or office uses; housing; health centre ('The Community Health Building'); and associated works.

 

The Applicant Team and Officers responded to questions from the Committee:

 

·                Reference was made to the images detailed on pages 75 and 76 of the agenda, as it was felt that the images did not reflect the impact on the immediate surrounding environment. In response, Robbie McNaugher stated that the scale of the development was the only matter to be considered as part of this application and not the appearance of the building, which had been previously approved as part of the outline application. This was why there were no additional CGIs displayed at the meeting. It was confirmed that the maximum height for the development was 51m and that the development was at this maximum height. 

·                In response to a further question regarding the height of the development, it was confirmed that the development was within the maximum height at 51m and there was therefore no reason to refuse the application on those grounds.

·                It was confirmed that further CGIs would be submitted at the design reserved matters stage of the application. It was requested that CGIs and elevations from the street level would be helpful.

 

The Committee noted the addendum report which included the following amendments to the report and an additional condition:

 

6. PLANNING BACKGROUND

 

Paragraph 6.2.6 sets out the provisions of the Section 106 Agreement for the Hybrid Permission that apply to the ‘Extreme Sports Building’ development. One of the provisions requires that ‘at the same time as the submission of the first reserved matters application for the Extreme Sports Building, to submit an energy statement for the centre’. No energy statement has been submitted and the applicant has indicated that they will be submitting a deed of variation to amend the trigger for when the energy statement is submitted to ‘prior to the commencement of construction of the Extreme Sports Building’. 

 

The Chair moved to the vote to grant the application.  With nine in favour, it was:

 

RESOLVED

 

That the Committee resolve to GRANT planning permission and that the Head of Development Management or Assistant Director Planning, Building Standards and Sustainability is authorised to issue the planning permission and impose conditions and informatives.

HGY/2021/0723 - 551B High Road N17 6SB - Cafe/community hub pdf icon PDF 4 MB

Proposal: Proposed part-demolition of, and first floor extension to the existing building (551B High Road) and erection part 3 and 4 storey extensions to deliver flexible workspaces (Use Class E(g)(i) above a new ground floor café/community hub (Use Class E(b) F1(a) and F2(b)) with creation of two new community yard spaces and associated cycle storage.

 

Recommendation: GRANT

 

Minutes:

The Committee considered an application for the proposed part-demolition of, and first floor extension to the existing building (551B High Road) and erection part 3 and 4 storey extensions to deliver flexible workspaces (Use Class E(g)(i) above a new ground floor café/community hub (Use Class E(b) F1(a) and F2(b)) with creation of two new community yard spaces and associated cycle storage.

 

Roland Sheldon, Planning Officer, introduced the report as set out in the agenda.

 

Gabriela Martino (Haringey Council – Regeneration Manager for South Tottenham) and Jamie Agnew (Architect) were in attendance to answer any questions that arose.

 

The Applicant Team and Officers responded to questions from the Committee:

 

·                It was stated that from street level, the third storey element of the building would obscure the fourth storey element, which would only be visible from further away and not at street level looking up.

·                The layout of the ground floor layout was confirmed, as detailed on the stippled area on the plans. It was explained that the public areas would be located at the front of the building, with a communal café as you enter the premises, a co-working/flexible space including small cellular offices and then toilets and kitchen facilities at the rear.

·                In response to a question regarding how a community café could compete with chain cafes, the applicants stated that they had undertaken a lot of small market testing, which had concluded that there was a demand for food/beverage businesses in the area and would address the shortage of space for flexible food/beverage locations.

·                There would be 12 cycle parking spaces provided, divided into spaces for visitors in the north courtyard and employees in the south. Shower facilities would be provided on both the ground and first floor of the building.  Secure gates would be installed at the site, managed by the café, which would be open during the day and closed in the evening, with fob access.

·                In response to concerns raised regarding the outside staircase, it was explained that the staircase would be hidden from the outside and that it did not go to roof level. They would also be closed when the café and garden were closed.

·                Full proposals regarding the landscaping proposals would be detailed in the design and access statement, alongside in-depth planting proposals.

·                In response to a question regarding the provision of 2 existing car parking spaces, it was explained that the owner of the neighbouring Costa Coffee had a lease for 2 car parking spaces, which had to be retained.

·                High quality materials would be used, including anodized bronze which provided a more robust finish. The ground floor level would also include a more robust brickwork, with a lightweight building above which respected the historic façade of the surrounding area.

·                Reference was made to condition 6 which did not specify the number of trees. It was requested that an additional paragraph be added to include plans for shrubs and trees and a minimum of 4, mature trees.

·                It was also requested that  ...  view the full minutes text for item 8.
