Decision details

This report before Members proposed an outline planning application for the demolition of all buildings and redevelopment of the site for residential use providing up to 14 units (a mixture of 1, 2 and 3-bedroom residential units) with ancillary car parking, landscaping and access.

During the debate Members discussed the parking provision on site and in surrounding roads and the suitability of the proposed building in the existing streetscene.

Following a motion to defer consideration of the report, which was lost on the Chairman’s casting vote.

The Committee noted that the development proposed was liable for the Mayor’s Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) in accordance with London Plan Policy 8.3.

As this was an Outline application, CIL would be assessed and applied when a reserved matters application was submitted.

It was RESOLVED that the Assistant Director of Development be authorised to enter into any subsequent legal agreement or other appropriate mechanism to secure the requirement of Condition 30 below, including that:

§   All contribution sums shall include interest to the due date of expenditure and all contribution sums to be subject to indexation from the date of completion of the Section 106 agreement to the date of receipt by the Council.

§   The Developer/Owner to pay the Council’s reasonable legal costs associated with the Legal Agreement prior to the completion of the agreement irrespective of whether the agreement was completed.

§   Payment of the appropriate planning obligations monitoring fee prior to the completion of the agreement.

That planning permission be granted subject to the conditions as set out in the report and to include the following amendment to Condition 30:

Before the development hereby permitted was commenced, the landowner should enter into a suitable legal agreement (such as a S106 agreement) or other appropriate mechanism that ensured, to the satisfaction of the local planning authority, the performance of the following obligations.

Reason: The development would otherwise be unacceptable if the obligations sought were not able to be secured.
