The Committee deferred this application at the last meeting on 17th March 2020 when Members were minded to refuse the application owing to concerns that related to the following aspects of the proposal: Affordable Housing provision,Loss of employment and Sunlight and daylight impact. Ms Victoria McDonagh (Development Management Team Leader) informed the Committee that further to the deferral, officers had provided additional information and clarification including changes in respect of housing mix, the loss of employment and the sunlight and daylight impacts. With those in view, officers considered the application policy compliant and reiterated the recommendation for planning permission to be granted as set out within the Committee reports.
Councillor Anton Georgiou (ward member) objected to the application on several grounds including the following; inadequate infrastructure to address the level and intensity of the development, excessive height, over-development of the site which would alter the character of the area to the detriment of residential amenity, major traffic concerns, lack of green and open space and concerns about affordability.
