RECOMMENDATION: That the Committee resolve to GRANT planning permission subject to the prior completion of a legal agreement to secure the planning obligations set out in the report, delegate authority to the Head of Planning to negotiate the legal agreement and to issue the planning permission and impose conditions (and informatives) to secure the matters set out in the report.
Angus Saunders (Area Planning Manager) introduced scheme and answered members’ queries. He informed members that the development would deliver a space for 3 GP practices but not 3 GPs to practice as stated in the main report (page 120 referred) and in referencing the supplementary report, he drew members’ attention to amended condition 8.
In accordance with the provisions of the Planning Code of Practice, Councillor Conneely (ward member) stated that she had not been approached by the objectors. Councillor Conneely emphasised that the involvement of GP surgeries was key to the development and expressed concerns about the anticipated delivery date of 2023.
Mark Rowe (agent) addressed the Committee and urged members for their support for the scheme which he said would deliver a substantial number of homes, 3 GP practices, other A3 uses and infrastructure projects.
Richard Barrett (Director of South Kilburn Regeneration Project) clarified that if permission was granted, construction could commence by early next year with anticipated completion in 2021. He added that the scheme had received the support of NHS England however if the support was subsequently withdrawn, he would look to create additional affordable housing units following viability assessment. Richard Barrett clarified measures to ensure security and the position with existing leaseholders.
Members discussed the application during which they raised questions about the low take up rate by leaseholders, social rent, security, highways issues and whether an independent consultant had looked into disability issues. Members heard from the agent and Richard Barrett that satisfactory meetings had been held with Secure by Design Officers, that there would be a crossing as part of the Carlton Vale Improvement scheme and although an independent consultant for disability had not been employed, disability guidance had been followed. The low take up was probably due to future increase in service charges which were invariably higher in all new build properties however additional marketing would be undertaken.
DECISION: Granted planning permission as recommended subject to: referral to the Mayor of London there being no contrary direction from the Mayor of London; amended condition 8 as set out in the supplementary report; amendments to the Section 106 legal agreement heads of terms in respect of phased affordable housing review mechanism and securing the delivery of the medical centre with priority given to identified GP practices and consultation with the Chair to ensure that the wording accurately reflected the views of the Committee.
