Harrow Local Plan 2012-2024 (Regulation 19)

The Chief Planning Officer said that the addendum outlined sixty-three policies at Regulation 19 stage:  fifty-nine carried moderate weight, three carried limited weight, and one carried substantial weight due to its similarity to an existing policy, DM1.

The Chair confirmed that a covering report and proper inclusion on the agenda would be prepared for the December committee, along with training for members to provide further clarity.  The addendum was noted for this meeting, with further discussion planned for the 18 December Committee.

RESOLVED:  To accept the Addendums.

PROPOSAL:

Single storey side to rear glazed link extension with excavation to create basement level; external alterations (demolition of ancillary building and drying shed).

RECOMMENDATION:

The Committee were asked to:

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 and subject to the resolution of the drainage strategy;

3)              Delegate authority to the Chief Planning Officer in consultation with the Director of Legal and Governance Services for the completion of the Section 106 legal agreement and other enabling development and issue of the planning permission, subject to amendments to the conditions, including the insertion or deletion of condition as deemed fit and appropriate to the development or the amendments to the legal agreement as required.  The Section 106 Agreement Heads of Terms would cover the following matters:

a.     To secure public access to the Kiln four times per calendar year.

RECOMMENDATION B:

That if the Section 106 Agreement was not completed by 20th February 2025 (or such period as the Council may determine) of the date of the Committee decision on this application, then it was recommended to delegate the decision to REFUSE planning permission to the Chief Planning Officer on the grounds that:

The proposed development, in the absence of a Legal Agreement to provide appropriate public benefits that directly relate to the development, would fail to adequately ameliorate the impact of the development on the Green Belt and surrounding designated heritage assets.  The proposal was therefore contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2023), policies HC1 C, G2, and DF1 of The London Plan (2021), Core Strategy (2012) policy CS1 and policies DM 1, DM 7, DM 16 and DM 50 of the Harrow Development Management Polices Local Plan and the Supplementary Planning Document: Planning Obligations (2013).
