Oral representations in support of the application were received at the meeting.

It was noted that on page 22 of the Chief Planner’s report, paragraphs 1 and 2 under the heading, ‘Location’, was amended to read,

  “The proposal is located to the north of Anerley Road, in close proximity to the junction with Maple Road and is a Victorian era four storey (including basement level) detached property currently in use as 5 self-contained flats, with one 3 bedroom flat on ground floor, two 1 bedroom flats on the lower ground floor, one 2 bedroom flat on the first floor, and one 2 bedroom flats on the second floor. To the rear of the site is a two storey building which comprises 4 flats, Nos 1 - 4 Mayfield Close (which is to be retained) and 8 garages, 4 of which are to be retained to service Mayfield Close. The freehold of this building and the garages is also owned by the applicant. Access to the site is via Anerley Road with vehicular access being shared with the occupiers of 1-4 Mayfield Close.

  Properties in the area vary significantly in terms of their scale and architectural style although the majority of neighbouring properties are either purpose built or large scale properties which have been converted into self-contained flats. There are also a Church, Nursing Home and sheltered housing in close proximity to the application site.”

Members having considered the report, objections and representations, RESOLVED that the application BE DEFERRED without prejudice to any future consideration to seek an increase in the number of car parking spaces, a reduction in the number of units, the removal of juliet balconies and to consider the installation of CCTV and the overall parking situation in the surrounding area.
