Petitions To receive any petitions submitted by members of the public or Councillors. Minutes: To note that the following petitions had been received:
1. Petition: Objection to P/2163/15 – Townsend House and Eaton House, 152-147 Northolt Road On behalf of Stanley Road and Sherwood Road residents, Councillor Graham Henson presented a petition with 71 signatures, with the following terms of reference:
“A development of up to ten storeys high is wholly unacceptable. Excessive height will overshadow existing homes and adversely impact local residents.
Proposal of 123 flats is far too dense. The layout and design is overcrowded. Infrastructure including sewers and drainage is of great concern.
A fatal gas blast in May 2008 next to this site raised issues of old pipe work. The safety of existing residents is paramount.
There are well documented traffic flow, noise, pollution and parking issues in Stanley Road during large events at DLC in Brember Road (opened July 2014). Access here still needs to be addressed.
Another large community centre has been proposed: P/1617/14/4685 Unit 8 Brember Road. This is currently at appeal stage with The Planning Inspectorate.
101 flats in adjacent Bovis House have been converted and are ready for occupation. Developers there felled trees which were a valuable screen in Stanley Road.
180 flats at Bridge Court Stanley Road have regular occurrences of ASB. Police can verify that experience of this has caused deterioration to this community.
Peaceful residence is under threat in Stanley Road. The location is already at full capacity.
Reject this application.
We strongly object to the proposal.”
RESOLVED: That the petition be referred to the Corporate Director of Environment and Enterprise for consideration.
2. Petitions: SPD Document – Harrow School – Zone B – Harrow Hill Golf Course & Sarah’s Café Sarah Bishop presented a further 604 signatures to the petitions previously submitted to the Environment and Enterprise Directorate. She re-submitted the previous petitions, containing 1,700 signatures in hard copy and 1,200 online signatures, with the following terms of reference:
“Save our Metropolitan Open Space and Nature Conservation Area at Harrow Hill Golf Course”,
and
“We, the local community, residents and businesses of Harrow, petition Harrow Council to prevent coach park and all weather pitches being built by Harrow School on the land at Harrow Hill Golf Course. We are very concerned about the loss of this Metropolitan Open Space, Area of Special Character and Nature Conservation Area; as well as transport issues on Kenton Road and potential flooding on Watford/Kenton Roads. We insist that you keep this Metropolitan Open Space as it is, for ALL the local community to enjoy.”
RESOLVED: That the petition be considered with the report at agenda item 12 ‘Harrow School Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) Consultation Outcomes and Proposed Version for Adoption’.

Resolved to RECOMMEND: (to Council)
That an addition of a total of £30m to the Capital Programme be approved to enable the Council to proceed with the purchase and repair of properties, as set out in resolution 1 below; an initial spend profile to assume a spend of £7.5m in 2015-16, £15m in 2016-17 and the final £7.5m in 2017-18, though this might vary depending on how quickly appropriate properties could be sourced.
RESOLVED: That
(1) the Divisional Director of Housing Services, following consultation with the relevant Portfolio Holder(s), be authorised to acquire up to 100 properties on the open market for the purpose of providing temporary accommodation, at a maximum cost of £30m to include the purchase price, with all costs associated with the acquisition and initial repairs and refurbishment as set out in the report; the current assumption being that these properties would be held outside of the Council in a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) that would be set up to hold investment property on behalf of the Council; with the intention that the LLP would purchase the properties directly, but in the event of any delay in establishing the LLP, it was anticipated that the Council would proceed with the purchase of appropriate properties on the basis that they would then be transferred into the ownership of the LLP once established;
(2) as set out in the report, the transfer of the properties under the initiative to the LLP was assumed to be financed entirely by partnership capital, with 95% being funded by Council, with the balance being funded by the holding company set up to deliver the Council’s trading activities; and therefore the Interim Director of Finance, following consultation with the Finance and Major Contracts Portfolio Holder, be authorised to invest an amount not exceeding £30m in the LLP, with 95% of this being assumed to be partnership capital from the Council, and 5% assumed to be partnership capital of the Holding company;
(3) the Divisional Director of Housing Services, following consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Housing, be authorised to acquire properties at a premium, as set out in Appendix 1 to the report, above the price set out in the valuation report to enable flexibility in negotiation of price in a rising housing market provided the overall costs of acquiring the 100 properties were contained with the maximum authorised cost of £30m;
(4) it be noted that the indicative cash flows produced by the Business Model attached at Appendix 1 to the report, which currently showed that the LLP was likely to generate annual profits the majority of which (95% under the current proposal) would be attributable to the Council and therefore be exempt from corporation tax; the 5% proportion attributable to the Holding company would be income that would be subject to corporation tax;
(5) the Divisional Director of Housing Services, in consultation with the Corporate Director of Resources, and following consultation with the relevant ... view the full minutes text for item 222. |
