The Old Vinyl Factory, Blyth Road, Hayes 59872/APP/2015/665 PDF 224 KB Reserved matters (appearance and landscaping) in compliance with conditions 2 and 3 for Phase 4 of The Old Vinyl Factory Masterplan - The Power House (Energy Centre, Music Venue/Restaurant and Cafe), of planning permission ref: 59872/APP/2013/3775, dated 31/07/2014 (Variation of condition 4 of outline planning application ref. 59872/APP/2012/1838 for a mixed use development of the Old Vinyl Factory site). Recommendation: Approval Minutes: Officers introduced the report, explaining that the application was for the approval of appearance and landscaping reserved matters for the Powerhouse Energy Centre, Music Venue, Restaurant and Cafe. There was a large public realm space around the extended building, including seating areas. The existing building would be refurbished with sympathetic materials, whilst the extension would be treated with an open cladding system. The Conservation and Landscape Officers had been consulted and were happy with the design. Officers therefore recommended approval of the application. Councillors raised concerns that the cladding system might attract litter. Officers confirmed that the site managers would be responsible for keeping the building clean, and that building control officers could ensure that there was no fire risk arising from the design. The recommendation for approval was moved, seconded, and on being put to the vote, unanimously agreed. RESOLVED - That the application be approved, subject to the conditions and informatives set out in the officers report.
177.	Vyners School, Warren Road, Ickenham 4514/APP/2015/1241 PDF 97 KB Erection of a temporary single classroom unit with associated external works. Recommendation: Approval Minutes: Officers introduced the report, explaining that the application was for a temporary classroom, which would be sited on green belt land. This land was currently part of the school car park, near to existing three storey buildings and so the impact on the green belt was limited. The principle of the application was considered acceptable by officers, and there was nothing in the details of the application which concerned them, and so approval was recommended. Councillors agreed that the application would have only a limited impact on the green belt, because of its location on the site. The recommendation for approval was moved, seconded, and on being put to the vote was unanimously agreed. RESOLVED - That the application be approved, subject to the conditions and informatives set out in the officers report.
178.	Bourne Primary School, Cedar Avenue, Ruislip 4328/APP/2015/1018 PDF 95 KB Erection of a 10.5m X 8.65m mobile classroom unit with associated external works. Recommendation: Approval Minutes: Officers introduced the report, explaining that the application was for a temporary classroom, which would be sited on green belt land. The classroom would be sited next to the existing building which would minimise its impact on the green belt. The recommendation for approval was moved, seconded, and on being put to the vote was unanimously agreed. RESOLVED - That the application be approved, subject to the conditions and informatives set out in the officers report.
179.	33-37 Belmont Road, Uxbridge 45222/APP/2015/1005 PDF 101 KB Reserved matters (Landscaping) in compliance with conditions 2 and 7 of permission 45222/APP/2009/379 (Additional two storeys to existing building to provide 9 residential units, three storey side stairwell extension and alterations to existing detached outbuilding, involving demolition of part front entrance/gym (Outline application for approval of access, appearance, layout and scale). Recommendation: Approval Minutes: Officers introduced the report, explaining that the application was for the reserved matter of landscaping at the site. The land was currently hard standing and it was proposed that this be re-provided. There was very limited scope for soft landscaping owing to the site constraints and the need to provide cycle storage, which officers considered made the proposals acceptable. The recommendation for approval was moved, seconded, and on being put to the vote was unanimously agreed. RESOLVED - That the application be approved, subject to the conditions and informatives set out in the officers report.
