While Brent may think they are meeting the parking requirements for the new developments, they are doing so as if the new proposed development is on a stand-alone site with no other homes or households nearby. This is a fundamental flaw in the planning application. The changes are being made as if they are building on a site not affecting anyone else yet the changes are being made at the expense of the 60 existing and long standing Newland Court residents.<br /><br />Brent Council cannot divorce the parking provision for the new builds from the existing needs of the 60 Newland court residents. The planning application treats the proposed development as if it sits on an isolated Brownfield site, and does not make reference or consider the parking needs of the EXISTING and long standing residents of Newland Court with historical provision for parking.<br /><br />I had a meeting earlier today with 2 non Labour councillors and they agree that there are so many negating factors as to why this proposal should not be granted by the planning committee meeting. But they also SAID Brent Council have gone ahead in the past even though they have breached numerous of their own planning guidance like they are doing with Newland Court and have been given the go ahead by the planning committee. So, let’s see what happens when it goes to the planning committee meeting in which I plan to attend. Once again, thank you Philip and Martin for fighting our cause. <br /><br /><br /><br />Marc Etukudonoreply@blogger.com
