RECOMMENDATION: That the Committee resolve to GRANT planning permission subject to: Referral to the Mayor of London (stage 2 referral)
That the Head of Planning is delegated authority to issue the planning permission and impose conditions and informatives to secure the matters set out within the reports.
That the Head of Planning is 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.
That the Committee confirms that adequate provision has been made, by the imposition of conditions, for the preservation or planting of trees as required by Section 197 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
Mr Toby Huntingford (Principal Planning Officer) introduced the report and answered Members’ questions. He referenced the supplementary report and drew attention to amendments to conditions 39 and 41 and corrections in the main body of the report. He went on to clarify that there are 44 trees on site, rather than 43 as specified in the main report. Whilst 29 trees were to be lost on site, 85 new trees were proposed to be planted alongside a comprehensive landscaping scheme. Mr Huntingford also clarified the ecology impact and responded to questions about tenure.
DECISION: Granted planning permission as recommended with amended conditions as set out within the supplementary report.
