HGY/2017/2044 - Berol Yard, N17

Proposal: 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.

 

Recommendation: GRANT

Minutes:

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.

v)         The consultation for the application ends on 1st December due to the requirement to place a notice in the local press.  Letters were sent on 7th November so 21 days has passed since direct consultation.  If members resolve to grant the application the decision will not be issued until the S106 is completed which will be after the 1st of December.  If material representations are received following a committee decision and have not been addressed in this report the application will be returned to committee for a decision.  Any representations received prior to the committee meeting will be presented as an addendum to this report. 

 

vi)       That, in the absence of the agreement referred to in resolution (i) above being completed within the time period provided for in resolution (ii) above, the planning permission be refused for the following reasons:

           

              i.        In the absence of a legal agreement securing 1) the provision of on-site affordable housing 2) marketing of the scheme to local residents on targeted incomes, and 3) the scheme would fail to foster mixed and balanced neighbourhoods where people choose to live, and which meet the housing aspirations of Haringey’s residents. The scheme would not make full use of Haringey’s capacity for housing to meet targeted delivery of required homes.  As such, the proposal is contrary to London Plan Policies 3.9, 3.11 and 3.12, Strategic Policy SP2, and DPD Policies DM 11 and DM 13, and Policies AAP3 and TH6.

 

            ii.        In the absence of an agreement that the PRS units would remain as PRS for 15 years and the provision of a PRS marketing and management plan the proposal would fail to provide good quality rented accommodation which meets housing need.  As such, the proposal is contrary to policy SP2 'Housing' of the Council's Local Plan March 2017 and Policy 3.12 (Negotiating Affordable Housing on Individual Private Residential and Mixed Use Schemes) of the London Plan 2016.

 

           iii.        In the absence of a legal agreement securing local employment, the proposal would fail to facilitate training and employment opportunities for the local population.  The scheme would fail to contribute to the social regeneration of the area.  As such the proposal is contrary to Local Plan Policies SP8 and SP9, Policy DM48 and emerging Policy AAP4.

 

           iv.        In the absence of legal agreement securing 1) residential and commercial Travel Plans, and Traffic Management Order (TMO) amendments to preclude the issue of parking permits, and 2) financial contributions toward cycle parking, public realm improvements, travel plan monitoring, and car club provision, the proposal would have an unacceptable impact on the safe operation of the highway network, and give rise to overspill parking impacts and unsustainable modes of travel.  As such, the proposal would be contrary to London Plan policies 6.9, 6.11 and 6.13. Spatial Policy SP7, Policy DM31 and Policy AAP7.

 

             v.         In the absence of a legal agreement securing 1) public realm enhancements 2) soft landscaping improvements to local green spaces, 3) temporary public realm the proposal would give rise to an illegible public realm, poorly detailed building elevations and poor quality residential access to local green spaces.  As such, the proposal would be contrary to London Plan policies 7.1, 7.4, 7.6, 7.18, Strategic Policies SP11 and SP13 and Policies DM1, DM3, DM19 and DM20, and Policies AAP6, AAP9, TH1 and TH4.

 

            vi.        In the absence of the provision of a community use plan the proposal would fail to provide community sports facilities for Haringey’s communities as such, the proposal would fail provide a provision a multi-purpose community facility contrary to Policy SP16 of the Haringey Local Plan 2017, and Policy 3.19 of the London Plan 2015.

 

          vii.        In the absence of a legal agreement securing 1) public realm enhancements 2) soft landscaping improvements to local green spaces, the proposal would give rise to an illegible public realm, poorly detailed building elevations and poor quality residential access to local green spaces.  As such, the proposal would be contrary to London Plan policies 7.1, 7.4, 7.6, 7.18, Strategic Policies SP11 and SP13 and Policies DM1, DM3, DM19 and DM20, and Policies AAP6, AAP9, TH1 and TH4.

 

         viii.        In the absence of a legal agreement securing an Energy Plan to address a carbon offset payment requirement and demonstrate a connection to a future district energy network, the proposal would fail to mitigate the impacts of climate change.  As such, the proposal would be unsustainable and therefore contrary to London Plan Policy 5.2 and Strategic Policy SP4, and DPD Policies DM 21, DM22 and Policy TH4.

 

vii)   In the event that members choose to make a decision contrary to officers’ recommendation members will need to state their reasons.  In the event that the Planning Application is refused for the reasons set out in resolution (v) above, the Head of Development Management (in consultation with the Chair of Planning sub-committee) is hereby authorised to approve any further application for planning permission which duplicates the Planning Application provided that:

 

               i.        There has not been any material change in circumstances in the relevant planning considerations, and

 

              ii.        The further application for planning permission is submitted to and approved by the Assistant Director within a period of not more than 12 months from the date of the said refusal, and

 

             iii.        The relevant parties shall have previously entered into the agreement contemplated in resolution (1) above to secure the obligations specified therein.
