RESOLVED that the minutes of the meeting held on Thursday 14 January 2016 be signed as a correct record.

There were no disclosures of a pecuniary interest not already registered.

There was no urgent business.

RESOLVED to that allocation of business between Part A and Part B of the Agenda be confirmed.

6.1 15/04163/P 35 Croham Mount, South Croydon, CR2 0BR
Retention and erection of 2 metre high boundary fencing
Ward: Croham
 

Mr Martin Gray spoke in objection, as a local resident

Mr Rayon Walters spoke as the applicant

Councillor Maria Gatland, ward Member for Croham, spoke in objection, on behalf of local residents

After consideration of the officer's report, Councillor Jason Perry moved and Councillor Luke Clancy seconded REFUSAL and the Committee voted, 2 in favour and 3 against, so this motion fell.

A second motion supporting the officer's recommendation to APPROVE, proposed by Councillor Paul Scott, was not seconded. 

Another motion was then proposed by Councillor Jason Perry, to defer the decision, pending a site visit.  This was seconded by Councillor Paul Scott and the Committee voted unanimously in favour.

The Head of Development commented that, as some information which would have been useful had not been included in the presentation and the fencing was already in place, no one would be unreasonably prejudiced as a consequence of a deferral.  Together with additional information, a site visit would be helpful.

6.2 15/04455/P 12 Woodcote Park Avenue, Purley, CR8 3NJ
Erection of four bedroom detached chalet bungalow at rear and provision of associated parking
Ward: Coulsdon West

Mr Peter Coxhill, resident of Woodcote Park and also representing South Woodcote Residents' Association, spoke in objection

Following consideration of the officer's report, Councillor Paul Scott moved and Councillor Manju Shahul-Hameed seconded the officer's report and the Committee voted, 3 in favour and 2 against, so planning permission was APPROVED for development at 12 Woodcote Park Avenue, Purley, CR8 3NJ.

A second motion, proposed by Councillor Luke Clancy and seconded by Councillor Jason Perry to REFUSE, on the grounds of overdevelopment, being out of keeping with the area, an inappropriate backland development and highway safety issues, thereby fell.

THE FOLLOWING APPLICATION WAS WITHDRAWN as the referring ward councillor has withdrawn her referral:
6.3 15/05362/P 235 Coulsdon Road, Coulsdon, CR5 1EN
