DECISION: Granted planning permission as recommended subject to the addition of a condition restricting the use and operational hours of the development approved.
Minutes:
PROPOSAL: Erection of a temporary single storey classroom building to provide additional teaching facilities, addition of associated single storey staff
room/admin office, storage container and canopy over playing area to include mesh fence enclosure, new tarmac footpath and associated cycle storage (DEPARTURE FROM POLICY CP18 OF BRENT'S LOCAL PLAN).
RECOMMENDATION: To grant planning permission subject to conditions.
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.
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 Team Leader) introduced the report and answered Members’ questions. He drew Members’ attention to the objections raised by the residents to the proposal, highlighting the objections submitted by MRPP on behalf of some local residents and officers’ responses to them as set out in the report.

He set out that there was some impact on openness, but that when balancing the impacts and benefits of the scheme, officers considered that the need for SEN places and associated provision within this scheme far outweighed the potential harm to the open space. He also highlighted that the school appears to be located within a sensible location within the playing field, and the response from Sport England highlights the usability of this space and lower impact. .

He referenced the operational hours as submitted by the school (pupils attending from 8:50 am to 3:20 pm, with the school buildings open ... view the full minutes text for item 7
