Issue - meetings

PROPOSAL:  redevelopment to provide one pair of two storey semi-detached dwellings with habitable roofspaces (2 x 5 Bed); parking; bin and cycle stores; and separate amenity space (demolition of existing dwelling) (as amended by the Addendum).

Councillor Marilyn Ashton proposed refusal for the following reasons:

1)            the development would be out of character in a road of detached single dwelling houses, would result in an increase of the footprint of the original dwelling house and would be detrimental to the residential amenities and character within the road, contrary to policies CS1 of the core Strategy, 7.4 London Plan (2016), D1 of the draft London Plan (2019) and to the Harrow's Residential Design Guide SPD in relation to garden development.

The motion was seconded by Councillor Anjana Patel, put to the vote, and lost.

The Committee resolved to approve officer recommendations.
