Minutes:

Demolition of two-storey coach house (no.72) and building behind retained front façade and side returns (no.74) and construction of new five storey plus basement building to provide 7 residential units, with associated alterations. Demolition of two garage blocks to rear and construction of new ‘U’ shaped building of ground and basement to provide a single dwelling house.

 

An additional representation was received from Savills (12 April 2018).

 

Late representations were received from Savills (13/04/18), Westminster City Council’s Tree Section (09/04/18, 13/04/18, 14/04/18 and 17/04/18) and David Brown Landscape Design (17/04/18)).

 

The presenting officer tabled the following revised recommendation:

 

The issue of the potential impact of the development (in particular the basement) on trees within and adjacent to the site has been the subject of further discussion on the run up to committee, as clear from additional and late representations. Unfortunately, whilst a number of tree issues have been resolved, one matter has been able to be resolved to the satisfaction of our Tree Officer, in the time available.

 

Sufficient and accurate evidence has not been provided regarding the potential impact on three trees within neighbouring gardens. A Yew tree and False Acacia Tree located within the garden of No. 70 Hamilton Terrace, both of which are subject to Tree Preservation Orders, and a Yew tree within the garden of No. 10 Hall Road, which is subject to conservation area status.

 

If members are content with all other aspects of the proposal, it is suggested that a decision be deferred to resolve this matter and for officers to determine the application under delegated powers.

 

A vote was taken on the officer’s recommendation to defer the application:

 

For: Councillors Harvey, Bott, Bush and Glanz.

Against: None.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the application be deferred to a future Planning Sub-Committee meeting in order to allow the applicant to address the following concerns raised:

 

1)            Further evidence was required regarding the potential impact of the development on three trees located within neighbouring gardens; and

 

2)            The applicant to explore whether the application’s amenity space could be increased by removing the car parking located at the rear of the dwelling and reconfiguring the basement parking area.
