Planning The site falls within the jurisdiction of the London Borough of Barnet. The property is not listed, nor are any of the immediately adjacent buildings. The site is not in a Conservation Area. Prior Approval (Ref 15/07967/PNO) was granted in February 2016 for change of use of the buildings to provide 75 residential units. Two subsequent full planning permissions were secured in December 2016 for the addition of a roof extension over the buildings to provide an additional 9 units (LPA References: 16/4324/FUL and 16/4330/FUL). The two applications submitted were of different roof design, but both included 9 units. A new application (Ref 17/0184/PNO) seeking Prior Approval for the conversion of the buildings to 66 residential units was submitted in January 2017 and the decision is pending. The purpose of this application is to allow the separate implementation of the Permitted Development and full planning / roof extension schemes. The CIL liability forms for the rooftop extension applications show a chargeable area of 591 sq m for the pitched roof scheme and 638 sq m for the flat roof scheme, equating to an estimated contribution of 100,470 and 108,460 respectively (assuming Mayoral CIL at 35/sq m and LB Barnet CIL at 135/sq m), but which will be subject to indexation. There is no Section 106 agreement applicable to any of the schemes. Red line boundary for indicative purposes only
