[Note: the appendices to this report will be published as a separate pack to supplement the main agenda]

6.1         Cabinet noted the consultation responses, officer recommendations and proposed amendments to the draft South Kilburn Supplementary Planning Document as set out in Appendix 1 of the report from the Strategic Director of Regeneration & Environment.

6.2         Cabinet agreed to approve the adoption of the South Kilburn Supplementary Planning Document 2017 as set out in Appendix 2 of the report from the Strategic Director of Regeneration & Environment.

6.3         Cabinet agreed to revoke the existing South Kilburn Supplementary Planning Document 2005.

With the permission of the Chair, the Cabinet received verbal representations from Mr David Kaye regarding the proposals set out in the report on the South Kilburn Supplementary Planning Document. Mr Kaye sought a deferral of the Cabinet’s decision pending further consultation with the community and warned of the consequences of failing to listen to residents’ views.

The Chair thanked Mr Kaye for his contribution and invited Councillor Sharma Tatler, Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Growth, Employment and Skills  to introduce the report.

Councillor Tatler stated that the regeneration of South Kilburn had been one of the most transformational changes in the borough over the last decade and was nearing its half way stage. Approximately 1000 dwellings had been completed or started and over 500 of these would be social housing for existing tenants. There had been many changes both nationally and locally since 2005 when the initial South Kilburn Supplementary Planning Document had been adopted. It was therefore necessary to update the Document to provide clarity on future delivery, including community infrastructure, to stakeholders. The estate Masterplan which was incorporated into the Document had been in review since 2016, a process which had included significant resident engagement prior to the formal consultation of the draft Document undertaken in 2017. The council had received over 600 responses overall. Councillor Tatler emphasised that the council’s priority was to improve the area for residents. 

Councillors McLennan, Miller and Butt spoke in support of the proposals.
