PROPOSAL:  conversion of dwelling into two flats (2 x 2 bed); external alterations; separate amenity space; relocation of existing outbuilding; and bin and cycle stores (as amended by the Addendum).

The Committee received representation from Dipika Patel (objector), and Dan Zecevic (applicant), who urged the Committee to refuse and approve the application, respectively.

Councillor Marilyn Ashton proposed refusal for the following reason:

1)              the re-location of the proposed outbuilding/garage would be out of character within the locality and would result in a loss of residential and visual amenity to the future occupiers and the neighbouring occupiers, contrary to policy CS1 Harrow Core Strategy (2012), D1 London Plan (2021), DM1 Harrow Development Management Policies Local Plan (2013).

The proposal was seconded by Councillor Anjana Patel, put to the vote and agreed.

The Committee resolved to refuse officer recommendations.

(1)            agree the reasons for approval as set out in the report; and

(2)            grant planning permission subject to the conditions set out in Appendix 1 of the report.

DECISION:  REFUSE

The Committee wished it to be recorded that the decision to refuse the application was unanimous.
