The notice that was drawn to Committee’s attention on 28/07/03 is a non statutory notice (normally coloured green) that the applicants are invited to display at the application site to seek to ensure that local people are aware of a development scheme even though it duplicates other types of publicity. The notice is sent to the applicants when their application is formally acknowledged. Unlike other notices, which give a shorter period for comment, this particular green notice invites comment over a period of 28 days. The notice that was drawn to Committee’s attention regarding 66 Long Lane was sent to the applicants on 2/07/03. Although Committee could have determined the applications subject to no further material considerations being received on or before 30/07/03, and instructed the Head of Planning and Transportation to issue the relevant decision notices thereafter it elected to allow the consultation period specified on the green site notice to fully expire.

Each seeks planning permission to erect two blocks of flats to provide 12 two-bedroom flats with associated car parking and landscaping (involving demolition of existing house). Block 1 – 8 is located at the rear of the site, behind block 9-12, which fronts on to Long Lane. 1.2 These applications were lodged to seek to overcome Council’s concerns about previous applications one of which is the subject of a separate report on this agenda. The revisions include the omission 3 car parking spaces, relocation of 2 car parking spaces and cycle store (in order to introduce additional amenity space and provide block 1 – 8 with an improved landscaped curtilage), additional floor space through a square bay to the southern flank of block 1 – 8, changes to materials and finishes, reconfiguration of the roof form to introduce a hip to the southern flank of Uxbridge Planning Committee – 11 August 2003 Page 3 PART 1 - MEMBERS, PUBLIC AND PRESS block 1 - 8, the provision of obscured glazing to avoid overlooking and the provision of security measures. 1.3 While applications A and B are identical, the consultation periods differ due to the time of lodgement of each application. Consultation for application B is complete whilst application A concludes on 28 July. Application A was the subject of reconsultation due to amendments. The applications were advertised in the local paper and 37 neighbours were consulted. 26 objections and a petition containing 100 signatures have been received in relation to all applications submitted to date. 20 objections, including an objection from the residents association have been received in specifically in relation to applications A and B. Objections received to all applications have been considered. 1.4 It is considered that applications (A and B) have addressed the key concerns raised against previous applications. The site is of sufficient size to accommodate a flat development and is conveniently located to public transport and other services. The applications are considered to be consistent with the provisions of the Council’s Unitary Development Plan. 1.5 Conservation Area Consent (application C) is also sought for the demolition of the dwelling house and garage. The application was advertised in the local paper, a site notice was erected and the Ickenham Conservation Area Panel and Residents’ Association were consulted. 5 objections have been received in respect to this application. The issues raised are addressed in this report. It is considered that, on the basis of an acceptable scheme for redevelopment having been received, demolition is acceptable. 1.6 As such applications A, B and C are recommended for approval.
