Section 73 application to vary condition 2 of planning permission ref: 68153/APP/2019/1319, dated 27-05-2020, (Redevelopment of site to erect a two storey building with a basement and accommodation at roof level to provide 12 residential units with associated works), to allow revisions to the parking arrangements on site, incorporating the removal of the basement and moving the car parking from the basement to the surface level (situated in front of the consented block) and associated external amendments to the site.
Officer introduced the application, noting the addendum which pertained to a clarification on no parking in front of the ancient Oak tree and an amendment to condition 6 to improve air quality. Officers also noted that concerns had been raised by residents regarding increased vehicle movements and noise due to the new parking arrangement. However, there would actually be a reduction in parking spaces from 16 to 10, and the proposal aligned with the London plan's parking standards. Officers further clarified that the London Plan policy would allow nine car parking spaces so it was one space above the maximum. The site was scored as having reasonable access to public transport compared to London as a whole. There were parking restrictions outside the site which should avoid any problems arising from car parking displacement.
Officers’ recommendations were moved, seconded and, when put to a vote, unanimously agreed.
RESOLVED: That the application be approved as per officer’s recommendations
