Mr Denis Toomey (Planning Officer) introduced the report, set out the key issues as amplified within the report and answered Members’ questions. With reference to the supplementary report, Mr Toomey reported that a detailed analysis of the Urban Greening Factor (UGF) rating provided by the applicant showed that the development would achieve a UGF of 0.22 compared to an emerging London Plan target of 0.4. While the UGF is below the emerging target, the proposal would represent a very significant improvement over the existing site, and the benefits of the scheme would outweigh the shortfall against this target. He also confirmed that objections received against the application totalled 14.
Ms Madeleine Shea objected to the application mainly on grounds of parking and reduction in light to her property and answered Members’ questions. She considered that the provision of 15 car parking spaces would be inadequate as well as resulting in parking overspill in the Burns Road area.
Ms Alina Lopitas (Secretary, Burns Road and Cromwell Road Residents) objected to the proposed development for several reasons including the following; The development would result in change of character of the area. The development would aggravate the existing parking situation in the area. Lack of infrastructure to support the impact of the development. The development would give rise to construction traffic noise nuisance.
Mr Max Plotnek (agent) addressed the Committee, highlighting the following and answered Members’ questions: ... view the full minutes text for item 3. |

That the Head of Planning be granted delegated authority to negotiate the legal agreement indicated above to secure the obligations set out within the Committee reports.
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.

Mr Liam McFadden (Planning Officer) introduced the report, set out the key issues and answered Members’ questions. He then referenced the supplementary report that provided an update on Urban Greening Factor (UGF) and the applicant’s inability to implement the sedum roof. As such Mr McFadden recommended that condition 26 (sedum roof) be deleted and condition 18 (landscaping) amended as amplified within the supplementary report.
Ms Liz Alexander and Mr Nick Wilson (agent and architect, respectively) addressed the Committee and answered Members’ questions. Members heard that the principle and much of the detail of the proposed development had already been established firstly through an application for 39 flats, accessed off Rushout Avenue (17/3717 granted in 2018) and 19/4473 – basement enlargement, relocated cycle storage and rear fire escape stairs. She outlined the minor differences between this and the consented applications and in addressing the concerns about overlooking added that the changes made complied with policy guidelines in relation to scale, size and density of the structure. Mr Wilson clarified that the provision of the 10% family homes was the most efficient option in order to limit the overall massing and volume of the scheme.
In response to members’ questions, officers stated that the number of car parking spaces provided would be adequate to meet parking demand without necessarily causing parking overspill to nearby streets that were not even controlled.
