Agenda and minutes

In accordance with the Council’s Constitution, Members are asked to declare any personal or prejudicial interest they may have in any matter which is to be considered at this meeting.

There were no declarations of interest.

The minutes of the meeting on 25 June 2012 were confirmed as correct.

The Development Management Manager, Regeneration, presented the report relating to the application.

An objector to the application, Paul Nicolson, owner of a hair and beauty salon, “Glitz and Glamour”, 32 Faircross Parade, made the following points:

·  A petition against the granting of this application had been signed by 159 people including many locals and a Redbridge ward councillor.

·  People were concerned about the increase in noise nuisance that would be a likely result of granting the application.

·  Mr Nicolson’s customers had a right to expect a relaxing and noise free environment when visiting his salon, which would not be possible due to the noise emanating from the TV screens, should the application be granted.

·  There was another book makers, Coral, in Faircross Parade, which attracted people who engaged in anti-social behaviour and if this application was granted, the prevalence of anti-social behaviour was likely to rise.

·  A rise in anti-social behaviour would have a negative impact, particularly, on female clients wishing to visit Mr Nicolson’s salon, who had already complained to him about the unacceptable behaviour they often faced when walking past Corals, such as foul language and spitting.

·  There were already four operating book makers in close proximity to the premises and there was no need for another.

·  The premises in question was used as an estate agents previously, whose clientele was made up mainly of families looking to move into the area. If the application was granted the premises would attract a new type of clientele consisting of males which were likely to engage in anti-social behaviour, thereby failing to add anything beneficial to the community and causing a nuisance to those shopping in the area.

·  The application should be refused.

Mr Shiraz an objector to the application made the following points:

·  He had formed a petition signed by nine residents living in the flats above the premises who were against the granting of this application.

·  Residents were against the application due to the increase in noise nuisance and anti-social behaviour that was likely to result if the application was granted.

·  Furthermore, there was a school and sixth formers very close to the premises which could mean that young people may be tempted to go into the premises and start gambling at a very young age.

·  The application should be refused.

Councillor Rocky Gill, a ward member, who was in objection to the application made the following points:

·  The premises were in a premium shopping parade and the external appearance of the betting shop would not befit this.

·  The Police had not been consulted and nor had a crime and disorder survey been completed.

·  The condition, which the applicants were trying to remove by means of this application, should still apply.

·  The proportion of non-retail premises according to planning policies should be no more than 35% and this is an opportunity to bring the percentage back down to this level

·  There were reported problems of anti-social behaviour, burglary and prostitution in the area and gates had been installed  ...  view the full minutes text for item 17.

The Development Management Manager, Regeneration, presented the report relating to the application.

An objector to the application, Alan Dennison, made the following points:

·  He was there as a representative of the Elderberries Club, an over fifties club, who currently used the sports hall facility in Abbey Sports Centre.

·  The Club’s members were overjoyed last year when they learnt that Abbey Sports Centre would be replaced by a new leisure complex.

·  However, they later learnt that the new centre would not include a sports hall facility, which has caused much concern amongst the Club’s members about how they would carry on their exercise programmes without a sports hall.

·  The Club, which included people who had been members for over 20 years, used the sports hall facility twice a week and was very active.

·  The sports hall was also used by other groups such as school children, badminton and squash players.

·  It seemed the new centre would not provide any suitable facilities for the very young or very old.

·  The Council said that it was proud of its free facilities for pensioners but the exclusion of a sports hall in the plans for this new centre was not consistent with that statement.

·  If the Council were minded to grant this application despite these objections, the least the Council could do was allow the members of the Club free access to the new centre’s facilities when it comes into operation.

The applicant’s representative, the Divisional Director for Culture and Sport, made the following points in support of the application:

·  Abbey Sports Centre was a very busy sports centre; about 251,000 people visited it last year.

·  Over 94% of those came for swimming, the gym, weightlifting and martial arts and the plans for the new centre had to reflect that.

·  As a result there would be a greater number of facilities in the proposed new centre, which would lead to a significant increase in participation and thereby contribute to the Council’s priority of ensuring more people were getting and staying active.

·  The last time the Council submitted a planning application such as this, Sport England objected. It had not done so this time and in fact, it was satisfied that there were adequate sports hall facilities in the Borough.

·  He could appreciate that people may not wish to travel to go to a sports hall; however, the new centre would have a wide range of other facilities. Considering that the application was being made at a time of budget cuts, it was not unreasonable to expect people to travel to another leisure centre within the Borough if they only wished to exercise in a sports hall facility.

The Board agreed to grant planning permission for the erection of two storey sports centre comprising 25m swimming pool, 17.5m learning pool, kids play/cafe, spa/health and beauty suite, gymnasium, martial arts, aerobics studios and spectators’ galley with ancillary area and plant.
