I know it is annoying when you follow a story and then don't hear about the outcome. Philip Grant has written in detail on Wembley Matters about the Broadview Garage planning application. LINK
This demolishes garages on the edge of Fryent Country Park and documentation was confused about how many houses were planned to replace them, one or two? Whether trees due for removal were within the site or Fryent Country Park? Whether there was satisfactory access for large vehicles into the site during the build as well as afterwards?
To follow the sometimes Alice in Wonderland nature of the Planning Committee's discussion watch the video of the meeting above. It features trees with the apparent ability to uproot and wander around the area and flooding which isn't there - because Brent Planning has no record it it - despite residents regularly seeing it.
There were quite a few Humpty Dumpty's in attendance. LINK
So what happened?
In the event the application was passed despite obvious defects and questionable information and representations ignored - planning professionals and ward councillors. Cllr Maurice was the only councillor to vote against on grounds of damage to the environment, density and access.
