June Taylor, Principal Planning Officer, introduced the report, set out the key issues and answered members’ questions. The Principal Planning Officer advised that a total of 461 residential units would be provided in three blocks. The blocks would be linked at ground and first floor by a single storey building with industrial floorspace in addition to a unit for community use, a café and cycle and bin storage. Vehicle access and residential parking would also be provided within the site.
Chirag Gir, objector, then raised several concerns including:
· The development would be out-of-scale and out of character with existing developments within the vicinity. · The development would burden neighbouring properties and local infrastructure due to its size and scale. · The development would adversely affect highway safety, and the convenience of road users, as there were no plans to mitigate the increased number of cars.
In response to questions from members, Chirag Gir made the following points:
· The development should ensure that adequate parking be provided for new residents, as existing residents feared that new residents would park on residential side streets. Concerns were also raised about the cost of Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) to residents. · The height of the blocks was deemed excessive and would change the ... view the full minutes text for item 3. |

Neil Quinn, Principal Planning Officer, introduced the report, set out the key issues and answered members’ questions. The Principal Planning Officer advised that a number of revisions to the scheme had been received since its submission in 2018. These included the addition of two storeys on all blocks except on the tallest element of Block a1, resulting in additional office space and the addition of three-bedroom family units and the Southern building line along South Way being set back by between 1-2m from edge of site to enable highways improvements to incorporate two-way working along South Way.
In reference to the supplementary report, Neil Quinn drew members’ attention to the following point:
· Additional representations had been received from the GLA and FA since the publication of the main report. The representations were addressed in the supplementary report.
Faaizia Lalji, the applicant, then addressed the Committee on several matters including:
· Access Self Storage was a family owned multi-generational firm which sought to hold its assets long-term. It held assets across hospitality, industrial, office and retail sectors and was working to deliver build to rent accommodation on land it already owned. · Access Self Storage was committed to excellence in design and believed the development was an attractive addition to the Wembley Park area, as well as being policy compliant. · As proposed, the development would be a loss-making venture in the short term. The development would use a longer-term investment return timeframe to ensure the delivery ... view the full minutes text for item 4. |
