Ward: Addiscombe West Recommendation: Grant permission Additional documents:
Minutes: Wayne Spencer, Senior Planning Officer (Planning and Sustainable Regeneration), explained to members that this application was returning to committee for the third time since it was first considered in 2019, when it had been referred to committee over design amendments, which had since been carried out. Officers explained that the main differences to the design were that the cycle and refuse storage spaces had been increased and that the front door had been relocated slightly north of the centre of the building.
In response to questions from members officers clarified that:
· The proposal comprised one 3-bedroom unit for five persons, two 2-bedroom units for four persons, two 2-bedroom units for three persons, and two 1-bedroom units for 2 persons; · A pre-commencement condition regarding construction could be included as part of the permission should it be granted; and, · There was internal bin storage only.
Members heard one representation on behalf of the applicant, which stated that neighbours had been engaged on the proposal, which was evidenced by the letters of support, and that the delay in agreeing the Section 106 legal agreement, which had caused delays to the project, had been due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The clerk then read out a statement from Councillor Sean Fitzsimons, which stated his previous objection was to be withdrawn, and that he supported this development as it provided much-needed high quality housing.
Members then deliberated, stating that they felt persuaded that the scheme had been made compliant with the London Plan since its initial consideration, and that it was a well-designed scheme that met housing need.
Councillor Parker MOVED the recommendation which was SECONDED by Councillor Shortland. The Chair put the motion to the vote and the committee RESOLVED, unanimously, to:
1. GRANT planning permission;
2.
