ARCHWAY BRIDGE, HORNSEY LANE LONDON N8 The Committee considered a report on the application to grant Listed Building consent for proposed anti-suicide measures by installation of fencing to the bridge parapet. The report set out details of the proposal, the site and surroundings, planning history, relevant planning policy, consultation and responses, analysis, equalities and human rights implications and recommended to grant Listed Building consent subject to conditions. The planning officer gave a short presentation highlighting the key aspects of the report. In reflection of the joint ownership of the bridge, it was advised that LB Islington had granted Listed Building consent for the scheme on 8 October. The Committee were provided with copies of two emails, one from an objector and the other from a supporter of the application who were unable to attend the meeting to make representations. [7.30 - Cllr Doron entered the meeting but did not take any part in determination of the application at hand]. The Committee raised the following points in discussion of the application: In response to a question on the history of the scheme, clarification was provided that the application had been submitted at the end of last year but that negotiations on the final design with partner agencies had been fairly protracted resulting in a delay to the application coming before Committee. Page 2 Concerns were raised over the potential for the unsightly accumulation of litter behind the new fencing and permitting access for litter picking. Officers advised that the potential for litter accumulation would be minimised due to the attachment of the fencing to the main structure. The fencing panels would also be removable to allow maintenance. In light of continued Member concern, it was additionally proposed to amend condition 3 to require submission and approval by the Council of details of the proposed treatment at the base of the structure in order to reduce the likelihood of litter being trapped within the structure. Further information was sought on the provision of additional support measures to deter suicide attempts such as information plaques, phones connected to the Samaritans etc. Officers advised that although it was recognised that a physical solution to frustrate access would not constitute a sole remedy, other measures were outside of the remit of the application as well as the borough boundary. Wider discussions were ongoing between the BEH Mental Health Trust and other agencies around additional support arrangements for the bridge. Condition 4 required a review of the anti-suicide signage to the bridge within three months of works commencing. In response to points raised, confirmation was provided that removal of the current mesh and spikes would be undertaken as part of the works; the removable strapped mesh panels would allow for the maintenance of the bridge light columns; partner agencies including Heritage England and the Council’s conservation officer, had deemed that bridge repair and redecoration was not required as part of the construction works; Concern was raised that there could be a period of time during construction works when no anti-suicide measures were in place. In response, officers proposed an additional condition requiring submission and approval by the Council of a scheme for the phased implementation of the works in order to ensure that the safety of pedestrians using the bridge was not compromised as a result of the implementation of the works. The Chair moved the recommendation of the report including the amendment to condition 3 covering treatment of the base of the structure for litter picking and an additional condition covering phasing of works and it was RESOLVED That Listed Building consent application HGY/2014/3527 be approved subject to conditions. 1. The development hereby authorised must be begun not later than the expiration of 3 years from the date of this permission, failing which the permission shall be of no effect.
