Issue - meetings

PROPOSAL:  redevelopment to provide two storey building with habitable roof space to create eight flats (6 x 1 bed and 2 x 2 bed); landscaping, parking, refuse bins and cycle storage involving demolition of existing house.

Councillor Marilyn Ashton proposed refusal for the following reason:

1)              the proposal provides no on-site disabled parking spaces to the detriment of the future occupiers' amenities, who may require disabled parking facilities and where, given the location of the development site, none can be provided nearby on the public highway, contrary to policies, CS1 Harrow Core Strategy (2012), T6.1 London Plan (2021), DM1 Harrow Development Management Plan (2013).

The proposal was seconded by Councillor Christopher Baxter, 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 listed in Appendix 1 of the report.

DECISION:  REFUSE

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