Ms Victoria McDonagh (Area Team Manager) introduced the report and answered Members’ questions. She stated that the proposed mixed development for 2 blocks of 256 homes and about 50 affordable units, situated within the Wembley Growth Area, would support the vitality of Wembley Town Centre. Of the affordable units, 34 would be capped at London Living Rent (LLR) and 16 at discount (80%) market rent. In addition to the associated amenity spaces, there would be 12 disabled persons parking spaces. She continued that financial contributions had been secured in the Heads of Terms for off-site play space in accordance with the Mayor of London’s SPG and adopted policy. With reference to the supplementary report, Ms McDonagh clarified that although there was no policy basis for requiring 100% nomination rights at either Brent or London levels, there was a need for a Lettings and Marketing Plan to allow the Council to approve the eligibility criteria for the affordable homes within the Heads of Terms. She added that negotiations with TfL regarding the level of financial contribution towards bus services were ongoing. She then drew Members’ attention to minor corrections as set out in the supplementary and the amendments received following the initial submission which did not materially change the scheme.

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.
Ms Victoria McDonagh (Area Planning Manager) introduced the report and answered members’ questions. With reference to the supplementary report, she drew attention to an additional objection received from No. 16 District Road (the organiser of the petition) on the need for re-consultation and reference to permitted development rights. She advised on the extent of consultation and clarified that there was no statutory requirement for the LPA to re-consult on the revised plans which were not material. She continued that the application was a full planning application and that no reference had been made within the committee report to permitted development.
Mrs Kamil Kaul (objector) informed the Committee that officers had not consulted some residents of Central and Road District Road nor assessed the impact of the development on residents of Station Approach, District Road and Central Road. She added that due to ambiguity about the address of the property (according to Land Registry records), Members may be giving planning permission to a different property address. In response to members’ queries, Mrs Kaul stated that despite the potential problem of some properties to be overlooked, those residents had not been consulted and with that in view, asked that the consultation should be re-opened.
In accordance with the Planning Code of Practice, Councillor Daly (ward member) stated that she had been approached by the local residents. Councillor Daly went on to say that she was pleased with the changes made to the proposed development, however, she was concerned there was no wider consultation to include occupiers who would be impacted upon by the development.
In accordance with the Planning Code of Practice, Councillor Stephens (ward member) stated that she had been approached by the local residents. Councillor Stephens echoed the sentiments expressed by Councillor Daly including the scope of consultation, a request for re-consultation. He also expressed concerns about traffic in terms of access for emergency vehicles, servicing facilities for loading and unloading.
In response to the consultation issues raised, Councillor Denselow (Committee Chair) asked that in view of the petition received and the consultation carried out, whether the Councillors thought ... view the full minutes text for item 4. |
