Brent Planning Committee is to consider the planning application for
the Willesden Green Cultural Centre on February 13th despite the Public
Inquiry for the Willesden Town Centre continuing until February 14th.
This is also the final date for submissions on the planning application.
The
Council get over this little problem by recommending that the Committee
(which is supposed to be independent of the Council) grant consent in
principle and delegate the final decision to the Deputy Director of
Planning and Development who will make the decision:
(a) taking into account any further representations received on or before the 14th February 2013;
(b)
any direction by the Mayor of London to refuse the application. In
accordance with Article 5 of the Town & Country Planning (Mayor of
London) Order 2008 following the Council’s determination of this
application, the Mayor is allowed 14 days to decide whether to allow the
draft decision to proceed unchanged or direct the Council under Article
6 to refuse the application;
(c) Satisfactory prior completion of
a Section 106(s) under the Town & Country Planning Act 1990 and/or
other form(s) of agreement/undertaking in order to secure the S106
matters as detailed in this report
and for the conservation area consent:
(b)
any direction by the National Planning Casework Unit, the Secretary of
State having considered the matter, to refuse the application
