PROPOSAL:  redevelopment to provide one pair of two storey semi-detached dwellings; proposed vehicle access; parking; bin stores (demolition of outbuildings and side conservatory to existing dwelling) (as amended by the Addendum).

The Committee received representation from Amish Badiani (objector), and Jack Dusek (applicant), who urged the Committee to refuse and approve the application, respectively.

Councillor Marilyn Ashton proposed refusal for the following reason:

1)              the proposed development, by reason of its siting, scale and design would be out of keeping and give rise to a cramped appearance in the street scene, contrary to the aspirations of The National Planning Policy Framework (2021), D1, D3 London Plan (2021), CS1B of Harrow’s Core Strategy (2012), DM1 Harrow Development Management Policies Local Plan (2013), and the adopted Supplementary Planning Document Residential Design Guide (2010).

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

The Committee resolved to accept officer recommendations.

The Planning Committee was asked to:

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

2)              to grant planning permission subject to subject to the Conditions listed in Appendix 1 of the report.

DECISION:  REFUSE

The Committee wished it to be recorded that the decision to refuse the application was by majority of votes.

Councillors Ashton, Baxter, Henson and Patel voted to refuse the application.

Councillors Brown, Fitzpatrick and Parekh voted to grant the application.
