Councillor Elliot Simberg moved a motion seconded by Councillor Lachhya Gurung, to refuse the application for the following reasons:

The proposed change of use to an HMO would result in the loss of a family-sized unit for which there is a known demand, as reflected in 4-bed units being identified as the highest priority for market housing set out in the Development Plan. No evidence of a lack of need has been submitted such as to justify the loss and the applicant has not sufficiently demonstrated that there is an identified need for this form of accommodation proposed in this area. The proposal would therefore be contrary to Policies CS1, CS4 and CS5 of the Local Plan Core Strategy DPD (2012), Policies DM01, DM08 and DM09 of the Development Management Policies DPD (2012), the Residential Design Guidance SPD (2016), the Sustainable Design and Construction SPD (2016) and Policy H10 of the London Plan (2021)

The motion was carried. The Committee then voted to refuse the

application which was recorded as follows:

For: (refusal) 4

Against: (refusal) 1

Abstained: 1

RESOLVED that the application be REFUSED AND the Committee grants delegated authority to the Service Director – Planning and Building Control to make any minor alterations, additions or deletions to the recommended conditions/obligations or reasons for refusal as set out in this report and addendum provided this authority shall be exercised after consultation with the Chair (or in their absence the Vice-Chair) of the Committee (who may request that such alterations, additions or deletions be first approved by the Committee).
