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.

Clerks note – Councillor Mitchell left the meeting for the consideration of Berol Yard and Ashley Gardens.

 

The Committee considered an application for the demolition of the existing buildings at Ashley Gardens and erection of two buildings to provide 1,211 sqm of commercial floorspace (GEA) (Class A1/A3/B1/D1), 377 residential units (Class C3), new public realm, landscaped amenity space, car and cycle parking and all associated works.

 

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 a management strategy in place to deal with waste collections from the site.

-           The affordable rent would be set at 65% of market rent.

-           The QRP had recommended that the height of Block 4 should be reduced, however once a number of other changes had been made it was felt that on balance, the height of Block 4 was acceptable.

-           Inside cycle parking was provided for residents, and a number of spaces provided outside for visitors.

-           There would be no shutters on the commercial units.  Emma Williamson advised that there would be no need for a condition relating to shutters, as any external shutters would require a separate planning permission.

 

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

 

RESOLVED

i)          That the Committee GRANT planning permission and that the Head of Development Management is authorised to issue the planning permission and impose conditions and informatives subject to referral to the Mayor of London and the signing of a section 106 and Legal Agreement providing for the obligations set out in the Heads of Terms below.

 

ii)         That delegated authority be granted to the Assistant Director Planning to make any alterations, additions or deletions to the recommended heads of terms and/or recommended conditions as set out in this report and to further delegate this power provided this authority shall be exercised in consultation with the Chairman (or in their absence the Vice-Chairman) of the Sub-Committee.

 

iii)        That the section 106 legal agreement referred to in resolution (i) above is to be completed no later than 18 January 2018 or within such extended time as the Head of Development Management or the Assistant Director Planning shall in her/his sole discretion allow; and

           

iv)       That, following completion of the agreement(s) referred to in resolution (i) within the time period provided for in resolution (ii) above, planning permission is granted in accordance with the Planning Application subject to the attachment of the conditions.

Minutes:

The Committee considered an application for the redevelopment of the site to provide 26 residential units together with 1,172sqm of commercial floor space within 2 ground floor premises and plant and store room within basement (use classes A1, A2, B1, B2 restricted to MOT testing, mechanical servicing and repairs of motor vehicles and D1 restricted to medical use).

 

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 informative relating to fire safety only referred to sprinklers, as it was an ‘either / or’ position.  Where it was not possible for the Fire Brigade to have access to a property, sprinklers must be installed.

-           A noise consultant had been employed to ensure that there would be no noise escape from the Kwik Fit unit to the first floor flats.

-           There would be gates to the sides of the building for security, but no shutter on the commercial units.

 

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

 

RESOLVED

iii)          That the section 106 legal agreement referred to in resolution (i) above is to be completed no later than 21 December 2017 or within such extended time as the Head of Development Management or the Assistant Director Planning shall in her/his sole discretion allow; and

PRE-APPLICATION BRIEFINGS

The following items are pre-application presentations to the Planning Sub-Committee and discussion of proposals.

 

Notwithstanding that this is a formal meeting of the Sub-Committee, no decision will be taken on the following items and any subsequent applications will be the subject of a report to a future meeting of the Sub-Committee in accordance with standard procedures.

 

The provisions of the Localism Act 2011 specifically provide that a Councillor should not be regarded as having a closed mind simply because they previously did or said something that, directly or indirectly, indicated what view they might take in relation to any particular matter.  Pre-application briefings provide the opportunity for Members to raise queries and identify any concerns about proposals.

 

The Members’ Code of Conduct and the Planning Protocol 2016 continue to apply for pre-application meeting proposals even though Members will not be exercising the statutory function of determining an application.  Members should nevertheless ensure that they are not seen to pre-determine or close their mind to any such proposal otherwise they will be precluded from participating in determining the application or leave any decision in which they have subsequently participated open to challenge.

Welbourne Community Centre, Chesnut Road, London, N17 9EQ pdf icon PDF 520 KB

Proposal: Site clearance and erection of a part 16, part 7, part 6, and part 4 storey building and a podium, comprising 166 residential units 1500m2 of health centre space and 300m2 of retail floorspace. Provision of parking, access, servicing space, hard and soft landscaping and cycle parking.

Additional documents:

Minutes:

The Planning Officer and representatives for the applicant gave a short presentation on early plans for the scheme.  The Committee noted that the presentation also covered minute item 125 - Strategic Development Partnership (SDP) Sites.

 

Councillor Rice addressed the Committee in his capacity as ward councillor.  He referred to the Caribbean community centre which had been on the site and informed the Committee that assurances had been made by the ward councillors and the developer that this centre would be reinstated once the site had been developed, however there was no evidence of this.  He considered that the housing type provided was not suitable for families, and a 16 storey building was not suitable for the area.

 

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

-           The development would house a large health centre with GPs for everyone who lived in the local area.  The applicant was working closely with the NHS to bring this forward and to identify what health provision was required in the area.

-           No properties would be north-facing.

-           There would be no shutters permitted on any of the commercial units.

-           The scheme would give priority to those living and working within the Borough.
