John McRory introduced the report. This was application for reserved matters seeking approval of appearance, landscaping, layout and scale in respect of Phases 1b and 2 of the site pursuant to Condition 61 of Planning Permission Reference HGY/2022/1833 dated 10 July 2023 for "outline planning permission (with all matters reserved except for access) for Phases 1B, 2 and 3, for: (a) the erection of new buildings for residential development (Use Class C3) and a flexible range of non-residential uses within Use Class E, F1/F2; (b) provision of associated pedestrian and cycle accesses; (c) landscaping including enhancements to the St Ann's Hospital Wood and Tottenham Railsides Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC); and, (d) car and cycle parking spaces and servicing spaces". Details are provided to partially satisfy Conditions 63, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72 and 73 for Phases 1b and 2 of the site of Outline Planning Permission Reference HGY/2022/1833.

The following was noted in response to questions from the committee:

• In the original hybrid approval, a large number of existing hospital buildings had been retained. These buildings would be restored and converted into various non-residential community and commercial uses. A fair amount of landscaping was also being retained and enhanced, this included the large central garden, which was being substantially increased in size. There would be a boundary between the retained hospital and residential area.
• Overheating strategies needed to follow the cooling hierarchy. This would mean that passive measures would be introduced before any mechanical ventilation or active measures. It was imperative that the risk of overheating was reduced as much as possible before introducing the cooling. In this instance, some of the units were constrained by noise along the railway line and that was the reason why the overheating strategy varied across the building blocks.
• There had been changes to increase the number of corridors which would provide daylight, but this was approved in outline with the detailed and restrictive parameter plans. There was not a lot of flexibility regarding the master plan. The vast majority of the single aspect flats were one bedroom; There was a good standard of flat design and a good proportion of single/dual aspect flats.
• A broad arrangement for waste collection had been agreed in the parameter plans. A further condition will be added for further details on this to be submitted.
• In terms of the use of open spaces, this would be dealt with through the outline of consent and management plan. Buildings would be restored early on which would be a placemaking opportunity in establishing activity and commercial spaces.
• There would be a proportion of parking on site to deal with disabled car parking and for the larger family size units.
• A specialist sub-contractor would be managing the space, they would also look after the trees on site. Everything across the estate would be managed by the this sub-contractor.

The Chair asked Robbie McNaugher, Head of Development Management and Enforcement Planning to sum up the recommendations as set out in the report. It was noted that there would be an additional waste storage condition. The Chair moved that the recommendation be granted following a vote with 10 for, 0 against and 0 abstentions.
