June Taylor, Principal Planning Officer introduced the report, set out the key issues and answered members’ questions. She highlighted that the application was made on behalf of Northwick Park Partnership, which comprised Network Homes, the University of Westminster, Brent Council and the NHS Trust who were working together to redevelop the site. The application related to the overall masterplan for this site but there were a number of other applications that were complementary to the site and would be linked together through s106 agreements.
In reference to the supplementary report, the Principal Planning Officer drew members’ attention to the following points:
· Planning obligation no 10 had been removed from the Heads of Terms. · Further representations had been received from Sudbury Court Residents Association since the publication of the main report. · There had been a point of clarification regarding affordable housing and housing mix on paragraph 76 of the main report. · Further representations had been received from Brent Cycling Campaign and Harrow Cyclists since the publication of the supplementary report regarding sustainable transport and cycling layouts.
Mark Connell, the agent, then addressed the Committee and made the following points:
· The application was for up to 1,600 homes and over 50,000 square metres of facilities for the expansion of the University of Westminster all set within new areas of open spaces, public realm and improved infrastructure. · A design code had been submitted to ensure a high standard of future reserved matters submissions, and all homes meet or exceed space standards. · The parameters of the outline application ensured no less than 40% affordable housing would be delivered across the site. · The construction phase would directly support 635 jobs and once operational the ... view the full minutes text for item 3. |

That the Committee resolve to GRANT planning permission subject to the prior completion of an appropriate legal agreement to secure the planning obligations set out in the report.
That the Head of Planning is delegated authority to issue the planning permission and impose conditions and informatives to secure the matters set out within the report.
That the Head of Planning is 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.
Paige Ireland, Principal Planning Officer introduced the report, set out the key issues and answered members’ questions. She advised members that the extant scheme had been refused by the Committee but later allowed on appeal. She highlighted an omission on paragraph 36 of the main report which should refer to 51 single aspect units and an error on paragraph 30 of the main report which referred to 76 St. Paul’s Avenue but instead should refer to 75 St. Paul’s Avenue. In response to a member question, she advised that the nature of the external alterations would unlikely result in any material reduction in light to neighbouring properties over that which had already been deemed acceptable.
In reference to the supplementary report, the Planning Officer drew members’ attention to the following points:
· Further representations had been received since the publication of the main report regarding transport and the external appearance/landscape. · An additional condition and revisions to the conditions and informatives had been proposed.
Peter Hale, objector, raised several concerns including:
· The positioning of the blocks and the height of the walls of the frontage of the ground floor units would have a negative impact on the street scene. · The insufficient provision of family sized units and the reduction in the size of some units. · The traffic safety of the basement layout, particularly the ascension to the basement. · The excessiveness of the increase in units, which were ... view the full minutes text for item 4. |
