Agenda and minutes

No apologies were received

Any member of the Council who has a disclosable pecuniary interest in a matter to be considered at the meeting is reminded to disclose the interest to the meeting and to leave the Chamber while any discussion or vote on the matter takes place.

Members are also reminded that if they have any other significant interest in a matter to be considered at the meeting, which they feel should be declared in the public interest, such interests should be declared to the meeting. In such circumstances Members should consider whether their continued participation, in the matter relating to the interest, would be reasonable in the circumstances, particularly if the interest may give rise to a perception of a conflict of interests, or whether they should leave the Chamber while any discussion or vote on the matter takes place.

Any Member of the Committee who does not have a disclosable pecuniary or other significant interest in a planning application to be considered at the meeting but who has been involved in organising support for or objections to such a planning application, submitted representations or expressed support for or opposition to the application (either publicly or in private with the applicant or objectors) should declare this at the meeting. At the point during the meeting when that planning application is to be considered, the Member should stop participating (but not necessarily leave the meeting) until the Committee has made its decision unless the Member believes that he or she is able to consider and that he or she would be seen to consider the application with an open mind, fairly and on its merits.

Cllr Husband made a declaration in relation to N66 – PP/23/04303 - Second Floor, 11A Dawson Place, LONDON, W2 4TD as the applicant was a Councillor. However, the application had not been discussed with the applicant, and Cllrs Husband, Mackover, North, Hargreaves, and Bakhtiar would sit on the Committee with an open mind.

Cllr Husband also declared that one of the objectors for applications S64 and S65 – CA/24/01907 and LB/24/02239 - 18 Coulson Street, LONDON, SW3 3NB had been his dentist but had not communicated with him in years or discussed the application with him. Thus, he would sit on the Committee with an open mind.

The minutes of the meeting on 21 May 2024 were signed as an accurate record.

Cllr Dori Schmetterling addressed the Committee in support of the application

RESOLVED BY A MAJORITY (with Cllr Bakhtiar abstaining): to REFUSE planning permission in accordance with the recommendation, subject to REVISED reason for refusal:

The proposed windows, by virtual of their design, would fail to respond to the immediate context and would appear out of keeping with the existing windows on the host building, and would fail to preserve, or take the opportunity to enhance the character or appearance of the host building, surrounding townscape and the Pembridge Conservation Area. The application fails to adequately demonstrate otherwise, through the submission of adequate floor plans and elevations, or information regarding the siting, design and overall appearance of the proposed windows to the property. The proposal is therefore contrary to policies CL1, CL2, CL3, CL6 and CL11 of the 2019 Local Plan, emerging policies CD1, CD2, CD3, CD9 and CD14 of the New Local Plan Review and the Pembridge Conservation Area Appraisal Document and the National Planning Policy Framework.
