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: Demolition of the existing building and erection of a new part 7 part 5 storey building with 50 residential units and commercial units at ground floor.

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

The Committee noted the following response to their comments and questions:

-           A public consultation had been arranged, with 6000 leaflets distributed – 16 members of the public attended.  Four people had attended the Development Management Forum, and negotiations had been generally supportive.

-           The building would be six storeys high, with the top two floors stepped back from the front of the building.

-           Part of the site was PTAL 3 & 4, and it was intended that the development would have 10% parking – for wheelchair and family units.

Councillor Bevan requested that officers include information on play space, ceiling height, layout of kitchen / diners and sound insulation standards in the application report to the Committee.

The Chair thanked all for attending.

Proposal: Mixed use development ranging from 11 to 33 storeys comprising 1,588sqm commercial space (flexible A1/A3/A4/B1/D1 uses), 279 residential units including affordable housing, together with roof garden and associated landscaping, the provision of basement car parking, bicycle spaces, associated plant including building maintenance unit and internal refuse storage at Plot SW, Hale Village.

RECOMMENDATION: That the Committee resolve to GRANT the application, taking account of the information set out in the Environmental Statement, and that the Head of Development Management is given delegated authority to issue the planning permission subject to the conditions and informatives set out in the Appendices of this report, subject to the prior completion of a Legal Agreement to secure the obligations set out in the Heads of Terms below and subject to referral to the Mayor for London.

The Committee considered an application for a mixed use development ranging from 11 to 33 storeys comprising 1,588sqm commercial space (flexible A1/A3/A4/B1/D1 uses), 279 residential units including affordable housing, together with roof garden and associated landscaping, the provision of basement car parking, bicycle spaces, associated plant including building maintenance unit and internal refuse storage at Plot SW, Hale Village.

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 12 parking spaces for standard units (251) and 24 accessible parking spaces.  There would be overspill parking across the overall development.

-           The site had been identified for development of a tall building, and the building had been designed to be in-keeping with the rest of the masterplan.

-           It was anticipated that there would be more family units in other sites within the masterplan site – this building had been identified as more appropriate for one and two bed properties.

-           It was decided that it would not be appropriate to have balconies on the northern and eastern elevation, and so internal amenity space would be provided for those properties.  There would not be any projecting balconies on the higher floors, these would all be recessed.

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