8.3  The Planning Service’s Major Projects Principal Planning Officer - Woodberry Down introduced the planning application as published. During the course of the officer’s presentation reference was made to the published addendum and the following amendment to the application report:

The approved documents list should be amended through the deletion of the following drawing numbers:

·  E730A-RJA-AZZ-12-DR-A-009-1001 rev P03 and E730A-RJA-AZZ-12-DR-A-009-1002 rev P02

  There were no persons registered to speak in objection to the application. The applicants had decided to answer questions from the Planning Sub-Committee meeting.

  The applicant had brought along to the meeting samples of the materials to be used on site which the Sub-Committee members examined.

8.4  The Planning Sub-Committee entered the discussion phase where the following points were raised:

·  The materials, insulation and supporting brackets to be used on site had been tested beforehand and were non-combustible. Cavity and fire barriers were also in place at key locations on the building which were also in line with Building Regulations and fire safety advice;

·  Berkeley Homes stated that they would conduct hourly on-site inspections as well as ongoing independent inspections and the  submission of regular reports to ensure continued Health and Safety  compliance;

·  A very small amount of cladding would be used on site, the majority of the material was brick;

·  Brick  had been used as it was  longer lasting and would not weather as quickly compared to other materials. The abseiling equipment that would be used on site for window cleaning would also be used for general maintenance of the bricks as of when it was required;

·  On the issue of overheating, conditions were already agreed to cover this aspect  of the development as part of the previous application 2019/2514;

·  Woodberry Down Phase 4 was currently out for public consultation with a view for an application being submitted to the Planning Sub-Committee for approval in late 2022;

·  On a point of clarification, reference in the report to the development’s appearance preventing ‘opportunities for anti-social behaviour’ (page 91  of the published papers) this referred to the public façade and recesses preventing incidents of  loitering;

·  Across most of the development handset brick slips would be used. The Planning Service would ensure that the brick slips used on site were of the highest quality;

·  The applicant explained that brick had been chosen to reflect the history of the area;

·  On concerns raised about  permeability, the Sub-Committee noted  that measures were in  place to prevent any water entering the cavities behind the brickwork.
