An application submitted under Section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to vary Condition 2 (Approved Drawings) and 3 (General Compliance with Supporting Documentation) of planning permission reference 72470/APP/2016/4648, dated 02-10-2019, for the demolition of 3 dwellinghouses and redevelopment of the site to provide residential accommodation within 2 new buildings with associated access, parking, landscaping and amenity space. The amendment sought is to increase the number of dwellings by two, amendments to the vehicle and cycle parking provision.

Officers introduced the application and delivered a detailed presentation summarising the application. Members attention was drawn to the addendum which proposed an amendment to condition 12 to secure a policy compliant level of accessible units. The application was recommended for approval subject to the proposed conditions.

Members noted the PTAL rating of three for the site and sought clarification on the provision of car parking spaces for the development. Officers confirmed that the primary planning permission for this development would have been approved under the Local Plan parking standards which would have sought for a maximum parking allowance of one space per unit, however, officers now referred to the London Plan standards which were significantly less than the Local Plan standards. TfL had commented that the new application effectively generated a new planning permission, therefore they would like to see a further decrease in the number of parking spaces; officers had deemed this an unreasonable burden to place on the developer as the number of parking spaces had already previously been approved.

The Committee highlighted that although there was a lack of garden amenity space on site, there were parks and green spaces very nearby. Officers recommendations, inclusive of the amendment to condition 12 highlighted in the addendum, were moved, seconded, and when put to a vote, unanimously approved.

RESOLVED: That the application be approved as per the officer’s recommendations.
