Mr Damian Manhertz (Development Management Team Leader) introduced the report and answered Members’ questions. He drew the attention of Members to the supplementary report which referenced changes to the proposed Section 106 legal agreement, including a financial contribution of £15,000 towards the planting of trees in the vicinity of the site and the removal of the Considerate Constructors Scheme obligation which would, instead, be secured through a condition. Mr Manhertz also recommended an additional condition that future residents will not be eligible to apply for on-street parking permits.
Mr Michael Law speaking on behalf of Willesden Lane Residents’ Association raised objections to the proposal because it would result in the loss of an attractive Victorian building and change the character of the area. He also expressed concern regarding the loss of mature trees.
In responding to the above, Mr Manhertz reiterated the applicant’s contribution to ensure no net loss of trees and added that the site was not within the Conservation Area nor the building listed. He explained that there was no requirement to maintain the existing building and that the proposed scheme, in terms of its bulk and massing, would complement with the surrounding building lines without being out of character. He continued that in addition to the one-off on-site affordable housing, the applicant would contribute almost £100,000 to the Council for the provision of Affordable Housing, and would be subject to financial viability review.
