Following discussions on the item, the Chairman moved the motion to defer the item to a future meeting to enable the Council to conduct the Council’s own parking survey. Members were extremely concerned about the removal of condition 19. They expressed the view that the scheme being car free had strongly influenced their original decision to grant planning permission for this scheme. Whilst the members noted that the applicant had provided a parking survey to support the removal of condition 19, they noted that it had been undertaken during Covid 19 lock down when many residents appeared to be away from London and there were many more car parking spaces available. This was not a usual situation. Members requested that the council undertake its own independent parking survey to test the applicants survey results.

The motion was seconded by Councillor by Councillor Prentice.
