All Members of the Committee, with the exception of Councillor Garland, stated that they had been lobbied.

Councillor Chittenden had disclosed that he had pre-determined the application, spoke but did not vote on the application.

The Committee considered the report and the urgent update report of the Head of Planning.

  Mrs Grainger, an objector, and Mr Barnes for the applicant, and

Councillor Naghi addressed the meeting.

  RESOLVED: That permission be refused for the following reasons:-

1.  The development, by virtue of its scale, length of terrace and

proximity to the boundary, would have an adverse impact upon the outlook from properties in Waterlow Road and have a detrimental impact on residential amenity of the occupiers, contrary to policies BE1 and H5 of the South East Plan 2009 and the advice given in PPS1 and PPS3.

2.  The design of the proposal, in particular its layout, provides

substandard living conditions for future occupiers, in particular the size of the outdoor amenity space, contrary to policies BE1 and H5 of the South East Plan 2009 and the advice given in PPS1 and PPS3.
