DEFERRED

Description of application – Three storey rear extension, change of use of ground floor from Office (Class B1) to Residential (Class C3) and creation of 2 one bedroom and 1 two bedroom flats on ground, first and second floors.

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

The Chairman was concerned with the depth of the proposed extension and insufficient amenity space for the proposed ground floor flat and referred to the Mayor of London’s Housing Supplementary Planning Guidance.  The Chairman and Councillors Russell Mellor and Peter Dean also had concerns at the potential loss of office accommodation. The Chief Planner’s representative confirmed that the amenity space just met numerical guidance and was a matter of judgment.

Members having considered the report and representations, RESOLVED that the application BE DEFERRED, without prejudice to seek a reduction in the depth of the single storey rear extension and for the applicant to discuss improvements to the private amenity area with officers.
