The Principal Planning Officer clarified that the proposed designated pick up and drop off area could be within an area other than the green car park if deemed suitable by the local authority and relevant stakeholders.

Paige Ireland, Principal Planning Officer introduced the report, set out the key issues and answered members’ questions. The Career Grade Planning Officer advised members that the extant scheme had been refused by the Committee but later allowed on appeal.
In reference to the supplementary report, the Principal Planning Officer drew members’ attention to the following points:
· The applicant had provided an Urban Greening Factor calculation which was in excess of the London Plan target. The score has been achieved through the inclusion of green roofs, flower rich planting, hedging, ground cover planting, permeable paving and new tree planting. · Revisions to the conditions and informatives and an additional s106 obligation had been proposed. · An additional representation had been received since the publication of the main report but related to issues already addressed in the main report.
Peter Hale, objector, then addressed the Committee on several matters including:
· The height of the proposed block which was higher than the extant scheme. The top floor was clearly visible from the east and the west and the upper floors of Kingsley Court. · While no longer a part of adopted policy, the housing density figure of 374 was excessive and a 23% increase on the extant scheme. · The insufficient provision of family sized units. · The positioning of the blocks and the height of the walls of the frontage of the ground floor units, which would have a negative impact on the street scene. · The insufficient provision of external amenity space and lack of green infrastructure and biodiversity measures. · The continued loss of light for the occupiers of the adjoining building, 75 St. Pauls Avenue.
Councillor Donnelly-Jackson, ward member and objector, then addressed the Committee on several matters including:
· The lack of London Affordable Rented homes and insufficient provision of family sized homes. · The height of the proposed block, which would dominate and overshadow the adjacent Grade ... view the full minutes text for item 4. |
