PROPOSAL:
Change of use from residential (Use Class C3) to operational diplomatic and consular services (Use Class Sui Generis) for a temporary period of 3 years and associated alterations to car parking, installation of pedestrian gates and new fencing.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Committee resolve to GRANT planning permission and that the Head of Planning be granted delegated authority to issue the planning permission and impose conditions and informatives to secure the matters set out within the Committee reports.
And that the Head of Planning be granted delegated authority to make changes to the wording of the Committee’s decision (such as to delete, vary or add conditions, informatives, planning obligations or reasons for the decision) prior to the decision being actioned, provided that the Head of Planning is satisfied that any such changes could not reasonably be regarded as deviating from the overall principle of the decision reached by the Committee nor that such change(s) could reasonably have led to a different decision having been reached by the Committee.
Mr Damian Manhertz (Development Management Area Team Manager) introduced the report, set out the key issues and answered Members’ questions. He added that the proposal was not considered likely to result in an excessive amount of traffic, obstruct the highway or result in unsafe conditions on the highway. It was noted that there is an extant permission that allowed the building to be redeveloped and some of the proposed changes. Furthermore the proposed change of use, involving internal works only was not considered to result in harm to the character and appearance to the conservation area and that the proposed conditions would ensure that the development would make a positive contribution to the local character and distinctiveness of the Brondesbury Conservation Area.
With no further issues raised and having established that all members had followed the discussions, the Chair thanked all speakers for their contributions and asked members to vote on the recommendation. Members voted unanimously to approve the application as recommended.
DECISION: Granted planning permission as recommended.
(Voting on the recommendation was unanimous).
