Agenda item

The Committee considered a report, previously circulated, that set out details of the application, planning history, consultation and responses, relevant planning policy and assessment, and recommended that the application be granted subject to conditions. The Planning Officer gave a presentation outlining the key points of the application and responded to questions from the Committee.

 

The Committee asked whether the scheme took into account the likely increased numbers of passengers for Spurs, were the new stadium development to proceed, in response to which the Transportation Officer advised that this had been a consideration and that the proposed enhanced public waiting area took the potential increase in passenger numbers for Spurs into account. Concerns were raised regarding the loss of green space in the area as a result of this proposal, and an additional condition was suggested in respect of landscaping such as large planters, to address this issue. The Committee also requested that a condition be added requesting that the commemorative plaque laid by the former Mayor Mary Neuner be retained and replaced in an appropriate place at the station. In response to a question from the Committee, it was confirmed that this proposal would have no impact on any work on widening of the railway.

 

The Committee examined the plans of the proposal.

 

Marc Dorman, Assistant Director, Planning, Regeneration and Economy, advised that the applicants were willing to accept conditions in respect of the retention of the commemorative plaque and landscaping, and also conditions regarding signage and feature lighting.
