Variation of Conditions 2 (Approved Plans) and 3 (Approved Documents) of planning permission reference 24843/APP/2022/2403, dated 11-06-2024
Officers introduced the application for the COMAG site which proposed a Section 73 variation to conditions 2 and 3 of a previously approved planning permission, aiming to update the approved plans and documents. Members heard that the extension was minimal in scale and had no impact on design quality or character. Officers acknowledged the loss of the community hub but felt it was reasonable given the site’s location and nearby existing community spaces. It was confirmed that the affordable housing contribution had been revised following a financial viability review, resulting in an off-site payment of £800,000, deemed the maximum reasonable offer. The application was recommended for approval subject to a deed of variation and review mechanisms.
Councillors welcomed the £800,000 off-site affordable housing contribution and enquired whether the funds were earmarked specifically for genuinely affordable housing. It was confirmed that the cash-in-lieu would be used for developments offering London Affordable Rent (LAR) and could not be diverted elsewhere.
A further question was raised about the construction management plan, specifically regarding wheel washing and operating hours, due to complaints about construction traffic on Tavistock Road. Officers confirmed that a construction management plan condition was already in place and committed to reviewing its details, including wheel washing, in coordination with the Highways team.
Members raised no further concerns or queries but expressed a design to see progress on the development.
The officer’s recommendation was moved, seconded and, when put to a vote, unanimously agreed.
RESOLVED: That the application be approved.
