The agenda has now been published online for the meeting of the Bowes, Palmers Green and Southgate Green Area Forum on Thursday 25 July.
Attached to the minutes of the last meeting is a brief written update on the status of various planning applications submitted by the Notting Hill Housing Trust relating to the property it owns along the North Circular Road. This reads as follows:
- Site 15abc (located at Pevensey Avenue/ Hastings Road) has been granted permission with conditions and S106 signed. 33 Residential Units
- Site 1abc (located close to Melville Gardens) will likely be granted planning permission inside the next few weeks, awaiting S106 completion. 17 Residential Units
- Site 11 and 14 ( at Bowes Road Telford Road junction) have received planning approval at planning committee in April, although there are still negotiations in relation to S106, but sites are likely to be granted planning permission with conditions and S106 completion inside the next few months. 118 Residential Units combined.
- Site 6 (at Broomfield Road). There are still a number of outstanding issues with the design and primarily in relation to quality of the family housing accommodation and standard of private amenity space. There are also outstanding issue with the design in general that need to be resolved. A likely Planning committee date will be the 20th of August although more than likely it would be the end of September. 125 Residential Units combined over two planning applications.
The written update also includes information about the application by McDonalds to build a "drive-thru" restaurant at 188 Bowes Road (near Ritz Parade), which has been the focus of a protest campaign by members of the public, backed up by local councillors and MP David Burrowes. On this point, the information provided by the Council states:
The McDonalds application at 188 Bowes Road does not form part of any negotiations as part of the NCRAAP. This site was put up for sale and it is understood McDonalds have purchased it. They submitted an application for preapplication advice and were advised that an application for a drive thru would not be supported. The current application has now been submitted in any event and is due to be determined by 1st of August, where it will highly likely to be refused by officers. There will be no need for it to go to planning committee, although an appeal can be submitted for it.
The meeting at 7.30pm on 25th July is open to all residents of the three wards and will be held in the meeting room at the back of the Fox pub - accessible from Fox Lane.
