In accordance with the Council’s constitution a representative of the petition received in support of the proposal was invited to address the meeting.

Points raised by the petitioner:

• The building was Locally Listed and within the Northwood Conservation Area.
• The proposed extension would be unduly intrusive.
• The proposed design would not be in keeping with the area’s character and so would look out of place.
• The side dormers appeared to be too large.
• The proposed fire escape was unsightly and intrusive
• The proposed boundary hedging appeared to be insufficient.
• The site would infringe on the privacy of surrounding residents.

Members commended Officers on a very comprehensive report.

Waiting restrictions along Lime Grove formed part of the outline planning permission for the redevelopment of the RAF site.

This was regularised by the introduction of waiting restrictions at predetermined stretches of the highway. The waiting restrictions are from 8:00-9:00 am and 4:30-6:30 pm and double yellow lines at junctions.

These works were secured by the S106 Agreement attached to the outline consent and Condition 40 of that permission. The requisite public consultations were carried out and the necessary traffic orders were made. The works have been carried out in accordance with the S106 and 278 Agreements.'
