P0883.20 - HAVERING COLLEGE OF FURTHER AND HIGHER EDUCATION TRING GARDENS pdf icon PDF 632 KB

Report attached.

Minutes:

The application before the Committee was identified as a Major Developed site in the Council’s Core Strategy. The report outlined that policy DC46 states that when determining planning applications on these sites and that in the event of complete or partial redevelopment, the Council would seek proposals for residential use or community use, subject to relevant policies in the plan.

 

The report detailed the redevelopment of the site to provide 120 dwellings units in buildings extending to between 2 and 3.5 storeys in height together with associated car and cycle parking, hard and soft landscaping, open space, play space and infrastructure works involving demolition of existing building and structures.

 

The principal planning considerations arising from the proposals are the acceptability of the redevelopment of this Green Belt site in principle and its impact upon the Green Belt, the impact of the proposals in terms of design, layout, scale and appearance, landscaping proposals, environmental implications, affordable housing, mix and tenure, parking and highway issues, the impact on local amenity and on community infrastructure.

 

The decision to grant planning permission has been taken having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework (2019), the policies of The London Plan (2021), Havering’s Core Strategy and Development Control Policies Development Plan Document (2008) the emerging Local Plan, as well as to all relevant material considerations including the responses to consultation.

 

The Committee considered the report and RESOLVED to GRANT PLANNING

PERMISSION subject to the conditions contained in the report except that in relation to the Heads of Terms for:

 

i. Sports Pitch Contribution, which should now read:

ii. Sports Pitch Contribution

A financial contribution of £150,000 to provide for compensatory sports pitch

provision, such provision to be the subject of further negotiation between the

applicant and Sport England to explore whether provision could be nearer to the application site and what steps would be needed to enable such

delivery.

 

The vote for the resolution to grant planning permission was carried by 7 votes to 1 against.

 

Councillor Reg Whitney voted against the resolution.
