Minutes:
Demolition of the existing building and the erection of a part-four-, part-five-storey building containing nineteen residential units and two parking spaces, together with associated outdoor amenity space, storage access and landscaping.
NOTE TO MEMBERS: This planning application was initially presented to members of the Planning Sub-Committee on 7 January 2009. At that meeting, members deferred a decision on the determination for the following reasons:
a) concern over the loss of a part of the Parkside Estate’s communal green space to make way for the proposed development’s two disabled parking spaces, plus questions over the ownership of this space;
b) insufficient replacement bin storage for an existing Parkside Estate refuse storage facility, which is part of the application site;
c) officers’ failure to consult the residents association and Hackney Homes regarding the planning application.
8.1 The Planning Officer introduced the report, as set out in the report. He explained that this application had previously been presented to the Planning Sub-Committee on 7 January 2009. At that meeting, members deferred the decision for the reasons set out in the report.
8.2 Pamela Watson spoke in support of the scheme, her comments are summarised as follows:
§ The consultation undertaken after the deferral of the application had been very positive and constructive.
§ A number of changes had now been agreed regarding the amenity space and bin storage.
§ The applicants had been very accommodating and additional money had been put towards the relandscaping of the Parkside Estate communal area to the rear of the application site.
§ Herself and the other local residents now support the scheme.
