Decision:
Refused planning permission as recommended and excessive height.
Minutes:
PROPOSAL: Replacement of existing building (containing public house and former members club) with a mixed use development within a part 4 and 5 storey building comprising public house and function room on ground floor (Use Class A4), 48 self-contained flats (14 x 1 bed, 22 x 2 bed, 11 x 3 bed & 1 x 4 bed), green roof and photovoltaics panels, bicycle and refuse storage, amenity space and landscaping (SCHEME A) (Amended Plans - Key changes to public house façade and internal layout)
RECOMMENDATION: That planning permission should be refused for the following reasons:
1. The proposed development, by reason of its massing and poorly designed front elevation, would appear unduly prominent and out of character in the street scene and in the wider locality. The development would fail to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Mapesbury Conservation Area. As a result, the proposal fails to comply with Policies 3.4, 3.5, 7.4, 7.6 and 7.8 of the London Plan; policy CP17 of the Core Strategy, Policies DMP1 and DMP7 of the Development Management Policies; National Planning Policy Framework 2018.
2. In the absence of a legal agreement to control the matter the proposal would fail to provide the maximum reasonable amount of affordable housing which would be contrary to Policy 3.12 of the London Plan, Policies H5 and H6 of the draft London Plan, Policy CP2 of the Core Strategy, Policy DMP15 of the Development Management Policies.
3. In the absence of a legal agreement to control the matter the proposal would result in additional carbon dioxide emissions within the borough in an Air Quality Management Area, without any contribution to carbon reduction measures in the area. As a result, the proposal would be contrary to Policies 5.2, 5.3 and 7.14 of the London Plan, Policy CP19 of the Core Strategy, Policy DMP1 of the Development Management Policies.
4. In the absence of a legal agreement to control the matter, the development would result in additional pressure on servicing, parking demand and transport infrastructure to the detriment of the free and safe flow of traffic and pedestrians which would be contrary to Policies DMP1 and DMP12 of the Development Management Policies
