The committee therefore RESOLVED to REFUSE the application (being a reversal of the officer’s recommendations).

REASONS FOR REFUSAL:

“The proposed development fails to provide any off-street parking to serve the future residents. In the absence of any mitigation the development would exacerbate the existing pressure for on-street parking in Clifton Gardens to the detriment of the amenities of existing residents, the free flow of traffic and highway safety, contrary to policies CS5 and CS9 of the Adopted Barnet Core Strategy (2012) and policies DM01 and DM17 of the Adopted Barnet Development Management Policies DPD (2012).”

Add infomatives:

“The plans accompanying this application are: - No. 1 of 1 Rev 2, 2 of 2 Rev 2 (received: 07/03/16); Parking Survey - received: 27/04/16.”

This is a reminder that should an application for appeal be allowed, then the proposed development would be deemed as 'chargeable development', defined as development of one or more additional units, and / or an increase to existing floor space of more than 100 sq m. Therefore the following information may be of interest and use to the developer and in relation to any future appeal process:

The Mayor of London adopted a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) charge on 1st April 2012 setting a rate of £35 per sq m on all forms of development in Barnet except for a £0 per sq m rate for education and health developments. This planning application was assessed as liable for a £853.00 payment under Mayoral CIL at this time.

The London Borough of Barnet adopted a CIL charge on 1st May 2013 setting a rate of £135 per sq m on residential and retail development in its area of authority. All other uses and ancillary car parking were set at a rate of £0 per sq m. This planning application was assessed as liable for a £3,213.00 payment under Barnet CIL at this time.

Please note that Indexation will be added in line with Regulation 40 of Community Infrastructure Levy.

Liability for CIL is recorded to the register of Local Land Charges as a legal charge upon a site, payable should development commence.  The Mayoral CIL charge is collected by the London Borough of Barnet on behalf of the Mayor of London; receipts are passed across to Transport for London to support Crossrail.

The assumed liable party will be sent a 'Liability Notice' providing full details of the charge and to whom it has been apportioned for payment.  If you wish to identify named parties other than the original applicant for permission as the liable party for paying this levy, please submit to the Council an 'Assumption of Liability' notice; also available from the Planning Portal website.

The Community Infrastructure Levy becomes payable upon commencement of development. A 'Notice of Commencement'  ...  view the full minutes text for item 18.
