Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the benefits of supported living outweighed harm from increased activity, with noise controlled by conditions.
  • Residents objected over noise, parking, supervision, safeguarding, the occupants, loss of family housing and the location near a school.
  • The committee approved the application subject to section 106, an additional informative and delegated authority; four voted for and two abstained.

Site constraints 8

Article 4 direction
Article 4 Small Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO) Area 1. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.
An Article 4 direction withdraws particular permitted development rights, so work that would normally need no application needs one here. Not every council has published its directions.
Archaeological priority area
An assessment or field evaluation may be asked for before ground works.
The council or Historic England considers archaeology likely here. A desk-based assessment, and sometimes trial trenching, can be asked for with the application.
Air quality management area: Barnet AQMA
The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.
