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.

Proposal: Remodelling and extension to existing church. Demolition and replacement of existing hall on church site with new community facility / nursery. Proposed 22 new build residential units to church site and 10 new build residential units to Acacia Avenue site with a mix of 1, 2, 3, and 4 bedroom accommodation over 2 - 4 storeys.

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.

RESOLVED that planning permission be granted subject to conditions and signing of s106 Legal Agreement.

The Committee considered a report on the application to grant planning permission for the remodelling and extension to existing church. Demolition and replacement of existing hall on church site with new community facility / nursery. Proposed 22 new build residential units to church site and 10 new build residential units to Acacia Avenue site with a mix of 1, 2, 3, and 4 bedroom accommodation over 2 - 4 storeys.

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:

-       There would be 32 residential units.

-       The render to be used on the building would be a ‘through coloured render’, which meant that if there was any damage to the render such as chipping, the colour would remain the same.  The Quality Review Panel had agreed to the use of the render, provided that the building roof had sufficient detailing to prevent against water marks and discolouring of the render.

-       Comments made by the fire brigade were not a material planning consideration, and these comments would usually be addressed as part of the Building Control / Building Regulations process.

-       All residents would be eligible to apply for a parking permit.

The Chair moved that the application be granted and following a vote it was
