90-100 PINNER ROAD, HARROW, HA1 4JD (APPLICATION 1/01)

Reference:  P/2098/11 – (Mr R Dalia). Retrospective Application for a Mixed Use Three Storey Building Containing Retail Use (Class A1) on the Ground Floor and 12 Residential Units (Class C3) on the First and Second Floors; Associated Car Parking and Bicycle Storage [Resident Permit Restricted].

It was noted that in terms of a comparison with the previously approved scheme on the site, the application related to an entire redevelopment of the site rather than the extension and conversion of the previous building on the site.  However, the land uses proposed and the intensity of these uses differed little from that approved previously.  There had been no relevant changes in planning policy subsequent to the approval of the previous planning permission.

In response to questions it was noted that:

·                    the permission would restrict ground floor use to A1 retail only.  Planning permission would be required for use as a restaurant;

·                    a resident parking permit restriction was already in place.  The traffic impact was not expected to be significant.

DECISION:  GRANTED permission for the development described in the application and submitted plans, subject to conditions and informatives.

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

Reference:  P/3063/11 – (Grims Dyke Golf Club). Extension of Time to Planning Permission P/0838/08DFU dated 17/03/2009 for 'Two Two-Storey Semi-Detached Houses With Parking'.

The Committee noted that the application was for an extension of time.  Members were informed that there had been no changes to legislation, policies or circumstances that would affect the previous decision.

DECISION: 

(1)               GRANTED permission for the development as described on the application and submitted plans, as amended by the addendum, subject to completion of a Section 106 agreement within 6 months (or such period as the Council may determine) of 23 February 2012 to require the implementation of either planning permission P/3026/05/CFU only or the proposal subject of this application P/3063/11, but not both, and the conditions and informatives reported;

(2)               The delegation to the Director of Planning, in consultation with the Director of Legal and Governance Services, for the sealing of the Section 106 Agreement and to agree any minor amendments to the conditions or the legal agreement, be approved;
