Minutes:

PROPOSAL:  creation of third floor comprising of three flats (3 x 2 bed); and bin and cycle stores (as amended by the Addendum).

 

Councillor Marilyn Ashton proposed refusal for the following reasons:

 

1)              the proposed additional floor would introduce unwelcome scale and height to the existing building, to the detriment of the character of the area and the adverse effect it would have on the residential amenity within the locality, contrary to policy CS1 Harrow Core Strategy (2012), D1 London Plan (2021), DM1 Harrow Development Management Policy (2013); and

 

2)              the proposal offered a lack of car parking spaces to the detriment of the amenity of future occupiers and within the locality, given the narrowness of the road, contrary to Policy CS1 (Part S) Harrow Core Strategy (2012), D1 London Plan (2021), DM42 Harrow Development Management Policy (2013).

 

The proposal was seconded by Councillor Christopher Baxter, put to the vote, and lost.

 

The Committee resolved to accept officer recommendations.
