The Committee received the report.

Representations were heard from Helen Morrison (Objector), Louise Webber (Objector), Councillor Longstaff and the Agent.

The Committee voted on the Officer recommendation to approve the application, subject to the conditions detailed in the report and the addendum:

It was proposed by Councillor Sowerby and seconded by Councillor Prentice that the application be refused for the following reasons (with detailed reasons for refusal delegated to Officers):

The proposed development by reason of its size, siting, bulk, design, massing and loss of front garden to an extensive hardstanding area would result in an inappropriate development of the site. The proposal would be unduly obtrusive, out of scale, overly dominant and appear as a prominent and intrusive feature within the street scene, with its prominence exacerbated by its excessive footprint and projection to front and rear of the established building lines. The proposal would be significantly larger than the existing building which would be detrimental to the character and appearance of the site, the immediate locality and the street scene and would not relate sympathetically to the adjacent properties contrary to policies 7.4 of the London Plan (2016); policy CSNPPF, CS1 and CS5 of the adopted Local Plan Core Strategy (2012) and policy DM01 of the adopted Development Management Policies  (2012) and the Residential Design Guidance SPD (2016),

The proposal would result in the loss of a single-family dwelling house in a road characterised by houses contrary to policies CS4 and CS5 of the Adopted Local Plan Core Strategy 2012, policies DM01 and DM08 of the Adopted Development Management Policies DPD 2012; adopted Supplementary Planning Documents on

Sustainable Design and Construction and Residential Design Guidance (2016), and

RESOLVED that the application be refused for the reasons detailed above.

The Committee received the report.

The Committee voted on the Officer recommendation to approve the application, subject to the conditions detailed in the report, plus a condition relating to tree protection as identified by Officers and a condition requested by the Committee to replace the tree ‘like for like’ if it dies:

RESOLVED that the application be approved, subject to the conditions detailed in the report, the additional conditions detailed above AND the Committee grants delegated authority to the Service Director – Planning and Building Control or Head of Strategic Planning to make minor alterations, additions or deletions to the recommended conditions/obligations as set out in this report and provided this authority shall be exercised after consultation with the Chairman (or in his absence the Vice-Chairman) of the Committee (who may request that such alterations, additions or deletions be approved by the Committee).

Withdrawn by Chairman, pending a site visit.
