Decision:
Update Report tabled.
On a vote of 1 in favour of the Officer recommendation, 3 against and 2 abstentions the Committee RESOLVED:
That the Officer recommendation to refuse planning permission and conservation area consent (PA/13/633 & PA/123/634) at 65 Tredegar Square, London, E3 4 be NOT ACCEPTED for the erection of 8 no self contained houses with 2 no on site car parking spaces (Full planning permission) and demolition of existing warehouse (Conservation Area Consent PA/13/634).
The Committee were minded to approve the scheme due to the following reasons:
· That the application would provide much needed family housing with amenity space in accordance with the polices in the Council’s Core Strategy and the Development Plan for Bow that promoted such housing. On balance, this outweighed the failure to provide any one bed units as required in policy.
· The innovative design that related well to the surrounding Tredegar Square Conservation area.
· That there was no objection in principle to the redevelopment of the site and there would be no demonstrable harm to the amenity of the adjoining occupiers, as concluded in the Officers report.
· That any symptoms of overdevelopment were outweighed by the benefits of the scheme.
In accordance with the Development Procedural Rules, the application was DEFERRED to enable Officers to prepare a supplementary report to a future meeting of the Committee setting out proposed detailed reasons for approval and conditions on the application.
(The Members that voted on this item were Councillors Helal Abbas, Anwar Khan, Tim Archer, Judith Gardiner, Gulam Robbani and Harun Miah)
