RECOMMENDATION

That the Committee resolved to GRANT planning permission subject to the conditions and informatives as set out within the committee report.

Parag Dhanani (Career Grade Planning Officer) introduced the report, advising members that the application site was located within a central area of Lydford Road within the Mapesbury Conservation Area. Planning permission had been granted for the construction of a new dwelling house on the site in 2014. Whilst the dwelling house had been constructed within the site, it had not been built in accordance with the approved plans. There was an active enforcement notice in relation to the unauthorised development. The application proposed the variation of condition 2 requiring development to be built accordance with the approved drawings of the originally consented application to include changes such as internal and external alterations to layout, heights, footprint, ground levels, fenestration and lightwells of dwellinghouse, addition of attached water tank storage and detached bin and cycle storages, alterations to front boundary treatment, soft and hard landscaping, and arrangement of photovoltaic panels to main roof, removal of green roofs.

Attention was also drawn to the supplementary report circulated in advance of the meeting, which outlined minor amendments to the committee report, and related specifically to the receipt of a revised set of proposed drawings showing the correct appearance of the proposed front boundary treatment for consistency. Drawing reference numbers had also been updated within the draft decision notice to reflect the revised submitted information. Furthermore, two additional objections had been received since the issue of the committee report with matters raised that had been covered within the report, including a repeat objection from a previous representee and a briefing paper from a local resident and representative of the Mapesbury Residents Association (MAPRA). The recommendation remained to grant planning permission subject to conditions and informatives as set out within the main and updated within the supplementary committee report. Officers presented slides taken from the drawing pack to illustrate the proposed plans.

The Chair thanked Parag Dhanani for introducing the report.
