Car Park rear of 1-16 Sydney Court, Perth Avenue, Hayes pdf icon PDF 250 KB

Erection of 12 flats (8 two-bedroom, 4-person flats, 3 two-bedroom 3-person flats and 1 one-bedroom 2-person wheelchair accessible flat), in a single block with 12 associated car parking spaces; demolition of existing garages adjacent to Melbourne House and number 83 Perth Avenue; and provision of 3 open car parking areas.

 

Recommendation : Approval subject to a Section 106 agreement.

 

Minutes:

Erection of 12 flats (8 two-bedroom, 4-person flats, 3 two-bedroom 3-person flats and 1 one-bedroom 2-person wheelchair accessible flat), in a single block with 12 associated car parking spaces; demolition of existing garages adjacent to Melbourne House and number 83 Perth Avenue; and provision of 3 open car parking areas.

 

65936/APP/2009/2629

 

In introducing the report officers informed the committee that condition 5 as amended on the addendum sheet needed to be changed to insert that the balustrade should be 1.2 metres in height.   Condition 19 also needed to be amended to ensure the separate parking area was secure by design.

 

Clarification was sought on the current parking for existing residents and the loss of the parking and garages for this proposal would have an impact.  Officers advised that there was no lease agreement relating to the provision of parking.  The garages to be demolished are rented on an individual basis.  There would be a re provision of the 72 parking space lost as a result of this application for existing residents to use.

 

In accordance with the Council’s constitution a representative of the first petition received objecting to the proposal addressed the meeting. 

 

The petitioner raised the following points.

 

  • Site plan does not show the classroom, which abuts the fence to the proposed site.
  • There has been drilling taking place on the site already.
  • Important that children from Brookside School are protected at all times.
  • Urge those members who do not know the area to make a site visit.
  • If this application is allowed it will be a catalogue of problems to the school and surrounding area in relation to parking, pollution and traffic.

 

The Chairman asked for clarification of the issue raised by the petitioner in relation to the plans being incorrect.

 

The Legal Adviser informed the members that it would need to be established that the plan was not correct.  If this was the case then it would be difficult to go forward with the application.

 

Officers advised that the classroom was outside of the application site and not shown on the Ordnance Survey plan.  It would be up to the committee if they wished to have a plan showing the neighbouring site.

 

It was moved and seconded that the application be deferred to enable the correct Ordnance Survey plan to be submitted.  On being put to the vote this was agreed.

 

Resolved – That the application be deferred to enable the correct ordnance survey plan to be submitted showing the classroom on the adjoining school site.

Redevelopment of site to provide 45 residential units with associated access, amenity space, landscaping and car parking

 

Recommendation : Approval subject to a Section 106 agreement.

Minutes:

Redevelopment of site to provide 45 residential units with associated access, amenity space, landscaping and car parking. (Amended plans)

 

9912/APP/2009/1907

 

Officer’s advised the meeting that condition 23 as amended on the addendum sheet needed to be further amended to include the word ‘internal’ before ‘storage’.

 

A member asked for clarification of how a reduction in the number of 2 way vehicle trips would be achieved.

 

Officers advised that the 2 way trip had been reduced due to the nature of the previous use of the site as a garage with access from Uxbridge Road.  The proposed use for residential would be used less during peak hours.   Officers advised that the inspector when considering the previous appeal had raised no concerns in relation to traffic congestion.

 

A member asked whether there could be a condition added to ensure that graffiti treatment was used where appropriate on the blocks closest to the footpaths outside of the site.

 

Officers suggested that this could be undertaken by amending condition 3 to include the use of anti graffiti materials where appropriate on external surfaces.  The amendment to condition 3 was agreed by the committee.

 

A member asked for clarification of the obscure glazed screens and whether it would be possible to have a mix of obscure and clear glazing screens in appropriate areas.

 

Officers advised that the obscure glazed screens were being proposed to ensure that these areas could not be viewed from outside of the site.

 

Members asked for an informative to be added that where appropriate that the use of a mixed obscure and clear glazing be used.  This additional informative was agreed by the members.

 

The recommendation with condition 3 amended and an additional informative added was moved and seconded.  On being put to the vote there were 4 in favour and 1 abstention to the recommendation was therefore agreed.

 

Resolved –

 

That delegated powers be given to the Director of Planning and Community Services to grant planning permission, subject to the following:

 

1.         That the Council enters into an agreement with the applicant under Section 106       of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) and/or Section 278 of the Highways Act 1980 and/or other appropriate legislation to secure the following:

 

(i)         The provision of affordable housing equivalent to 47.4% of the total number of habitable rooms comprised within the residential units on the site of which at least 71.9% are to be of social rented tenure.

(ii)        A financial contribution of £74,212 towards education facilities.

1 two-bedroom semi-detached dwelling (Outline application for approval of access, appearance, layout and scale).

 

Recommendation : Refusal

 

Minutes:

1 two-bedroom semi-detached dwelling (Outline application for approval of access, appearance, layout and scale.)

 

66629/APP/2009/2539

 

In accordance with the Council’s constitution a representative of the petitioners objecting to the proposal and the agent addressed the meeting.

 

The petitioner made the following points:-

 

  • Concerned about the pending appeal and a  the further application for development of this site.
  • The surrounding area was under pressure from development.
  • There were concerns as to whether the drainage would be able to cope with a further dwelling
  • The area already has parking problems, which will increase if this application was allowed.

 

The agent made the following points:-

 

  • The proposal was not in front of the building line.
  • The house would not be out of character as there was already terraced housing in the area.
  • The application meets the required parking standard.
  • Separate drives could be provided for 43 Princes Park Lane and the proposed dwelling if necessary.
  • There was sufficient amenity space provided for the new dwelling.
  • Drainage was not a planning matter.

 

Officer’s advised the committee that reason for refusal needed to be amended as set out on the addendum sheet.

 

Clarification was sought on the building line, the shared parking and the amenity space.

 

Officers advised the committee that this was a sensitive site because of its location on a corner plot.    The proposal projects forward of the building line in Princes Park Parade and had been considered on its own merits against Council policies. In regard to the amenity space, this would be overlooked and did not meet the Council’s HDAS Policy.  The plans submitted do not show shared parking as there was no crossover provided to No. 43 Princes Park Lane.

 

The recommendation for refusal was moved, seconded and on  being put to the vote was agreed.

 

Resolved – That the application be Refused for the reason set out in the officer’s report with reason for refusal 3 being amended as follows:-

 

The proposal, by reason of the insufficient on-site parking provision both for No. 43 and the proposed house, and the proposed crossover with its associated loss of existing on-street parking provision within Princes Park Parade, where parking conditions are already saturated would be to the detriment of public and highway safety and therefore the proposal is contrary to Policy AM7 of the adopted Hillingdon Unitary Development Plan Saved Policies September 2007.

1767/APP/2009/2494

 

In accordance with the Council’s constitution a representative of the petitioners addressed the meeting.  The agent was not present at the meeting.

 

The petitioner raised the following points:-

 

  • The parking restrictions had been extended due to the current parking problems that already occur in this area.
  • No further vehicle crossovers are allowed in the area as Transport for London considered it too dangerous.
  • Additional parking problems and additional congestion in the area would be caused for all those living in the area if the application was allowed.
  • Residents parking permit scheme was being misused and is currently being investigated.
  • There was insufficient space at the rear to accommodate the parking spaces, cycle storage and bins as shown on the plans.
  • Residents in Pinglestone Close use the rear access to access their rear gardens and garages.

 

Clarification was sought on the issue raised by the petitioner in regard to the accommodation of the parking, bins and cycle storage.

 

Officers advised the committee that there was an anomaly on the plans and the measurements of the bins had been transposed.  It was suggested that an informative be added to ensure this is correct if the proposal was implemented.  The committee were also informed that condition 10 on the addendum sheet should be condition 11 and need to be amended to insert after ‘No’ ‘waste collection and’.

 

In answer to an issue raised in relation to the cycle storage members were informed that the space provided was sufficient to accommodate bicycles.

 

Members raised concerns in relation to whether the number of deliveries could be specified as the size of the bins seemed to be small for such a use.  It was suggested that Condition 12 that covered the issue of waste and litter comes back to committee for discharge.  This was agreed by the committee.

 

Officers suggested that condition 6 could also be amended to incorporate the concerns raised by members regarding the times for waste collection.  The final wording to be agreed by the Chairman and Labour Lead.

 

A member asked for condition 14 to be amended to ensure that the takeaway was ancillary to the restaurant.  This amendment was agreed by the committee.

 

In answer to an issue raised in relation to anti social behaviour and the provision on CCTV officers advised that as there had been no evidence provided it would be unreasonable to attach such a condition.

 

It was suggested and agreed that an informative be added to ask the applicant to consider installing CCTV to minimise any anti social behaviour in the area.

 

The recommendation with condition 12 being referred back to committee for discharge, conditions 6, 10, 11 and 14 being amended and an additional informative added was moved and seconded.  On being put to the vote there were 3 for and  ...  view the full minutes text for item 132.
