Application to vary condition 2 (to allow for amendments to the stair cores on the rear elevation) of planning permission ref:68164/APP/2011/2711 dated 28/11/2012 for  Alterations and conversion of the existing Lancaster Centre building into 7 self-contained flats. Demolition of the existing Hermitage Nursery Building and construction of a two storey (with accommodation in roof) block of 12 flats with associated car parking, soft and hard landscaping (19 residential flats in total).

 

In answer to an issue raised in relation to informative 3 & 7, the committee was informed that these needed to be amended.  Informative 3 to ‘and 18.00’ after 08.00 in the second line and Informative 7 to change ‘conclude’ to ‘include’.

 

It was moved and seconded that the recommendation with informative 3 & 7 amended be agreed and on being put to the vote was agreed.

 

Resolved –

 

1. That the Council enters into an agreement with the applicant under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) and/or Section 278 of the Highways Act 1980 (as amended) and/ or other appropriate legislation to secure:

 

a. Mayoral CIL: a contribution of £25,499

b. Affordable Housing: either 4 x 1bed units on site or a payment in lieu of on site delivery in the sum of £378,000.

c. Education: a contribution in the sum of £37,604.

d. Health: a contribution in the sum of £6,972.44.

e. Libraries Contribution: Libraries: a contribution in the sum of £740.14.

f. Construction Training: a contribution in the sum of £3,062.41.

g. Project Management and Monitoring: a contribution of 5% of the total cash contributions secured from this proposal.

h. Car Parking Permits: No permits shall be issued to future occupiers of the flats.

i. The access road to the development is to be upgraded to adoptable standards and offered to the Council for adoption under S38 of the Highways Act 1980.

 

2. That the applicant meets the Council's reasonable costs in the preparation of the Statement and any abortive work as a result of the agreement not being completed.

 

3. That the officers be authorised to negotiate the terms of the proposed

statement.

 

4. That if any of the heads of terms set out above have not been agreed and the S106 legal agreement has not been finalised before 25th June 2013, or any other period deemed appropriate by the Head of Planning, Sport and Green Spaces, then delegated authority be granted to the Head of Planning, Sport and Green Spaces to refuse the application for the following reason:

 

The applicant has failed to provide contributions towards the improvement of services and facilities as a consequence of demands created by the proposed development (in respect of affordable housing, education, health, community facilities and libraries, construction and employment training facilities, monitoring, Highway works and parking permit restrictions). The proposal therefore conflicts with Policy R17 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part Two Saved UDP Policies (November 2012).

 

5. That subject to the above, the application be deferred for  determination by the Head of Planning, Consumer Protection, Sport and Green Spaces under delegated powers.

 

6. That if the application is approved, the conditions and informatives set out in the officers report and addendum sheet circulated at the meeting be attached and informatives 3 & 7 being amended.

 

Amend Informative 3 - by adding ‘and 18.00 pm’ after ’08.00 am’.

 

Amend Informative 7 – In the second line change ‘conclude’ to ‘include’.
