Members had sought clarification on the PTAL rating on which the density calculations had been based; and also asked that the views of the Corporate Director Communities, Localities and Culture be sought.
Mr Kiely advised the Committee that the PTAL map used in the original calculation had shown the site to be level 5. However, the site was infact level 3, rising to 4 upon the completion of Crossrail. It was not felt that the change in level was sufficient to affect the officers’ original recommendation. It was noted that the S106 contribution towards local transport had been calculated using TfL’s analysis of the site as a level 3-4, and was therefore correct. The Committee was also advised that the Corporate Director Communities, Localities and Culture had no objection to the scheme and therefore the Committee was asked to confirm its original decision.
The Committee unanimously RESOLVED that planning permission for the erection of buildings between 7 and 17 storeys comprising 43 sqm of commercial use at ground floor and 141 flats (comprising 76 x 1 bed; 29 x 2 bed; 22 x 3 bed; 6 x 4 bed; 8 x 5 bed), 49 car parking spaces at basement level, communal open space including roof gardens and associated works at the car park at south east junction of Prestons Road and Yabsley Street, Prestons Road, London E14 be GRANTED subject to

St Georges Estate, Cable Street, London PDF 805 KB Additional documents:
Decision: On a vote of 4 for and 1 against, the Committee RESOLVED that planning permission for the refurbishment of existing buildings and erection of nine buildings ranging from 6 to 9 storeys in height to provide 193 dwellings (13 x studios; 67 x 1 bed; 79 x 2 bed; 22 x 3 bed; 7 x 4 bed and 5 x 5 bed) and the erection of four townhouses and a community centre of 510 sqm and landscaping at St Georges Estate, Cable Street, London be DEFERRED to enable further negotiation in respect of increasing the amount of affordable and altering the mix of social rented accommodation.
(Councillor Rania Khan could not vote on the application as she had not been present at the previous meeting when the application had been considered).
Minutes: Mr Michael Kiely, Head of Development Decisions, introduced the site and proposal for the refurbishment of existing buildings and erection of nine buildings ranging from 6 to 9 storeys in height to provide 193 dwellings (13 x studios; 67 x 1 bed; 79 x 2 bed; 22 x 3 bed; 7 x 4 bed and 5 x 5 bed) and the erection of four townhouses and a community centre of 510 sqm and landscaping at St Georges Estate, Cable Street, London.
Mr Terry Natt, Strategic Applications Manager, presented a detailed update report which clarified the figures relating to affordable housing, distances between proposed and existing buildings and design solutions proposed to mitigate any overlooking on Site 1.
Members expressed concern that the level of affordable housing did not meet the Council’s targets. Mr Kiely advised Members that the relevant policy to be applied to estate regeneration schemes, HSG5, recognised the need to invest in existing housing stock, therefore making allowance for a lower percentage of affordable housing. It was noted that in comparison to recent estate regenerations in the Borough, this was the highest percentage achieved to date. He stressed the need for investment in the estate and explained the viability assessments carried out on the scheme. He also reminded Members that 89% of the affordable housing proposed was family sized units, which were needed in the Borough.
Members asked questions relating to the privacy of George Leybourne House in relation to the design of the scheme, the traffic impact on Wellclose Square and the Conservation Area Policy in respect of the comments received from English Heritage. Mr Natt addressed the concerns and advised the Committee of the mitigation measures which had been proposed in respect of obscure glazing to overcome any loss of privacy and the traffic calming conditions which had been proposed by the Council’s Highways department. It was the view of the Officers that the development would enhance the Conservation Area, as the estate in its current form was in need of regeneration and did not contribute visually to the area. Officers had to balance the advice received from English Heritage against the benefits of the scheme for the area. It was not felt that a refusal could be justified on such grounds.
After consideration of all the issues and representations made, it was proposed and seconded that the application be deferred to enable officers to negotiate further with the applicant with a view to increasing the amount of affordable housing on site and altering the mix of social rented accommodation on the site.
On a vote of 4 for and 1 against, the Committee RESOLVED that planning permission for the refurbishment of existing buildings and erection of nine buildings ranging from 6 to 9 storeys in height to provide 193 dwellings (13 x studios; 67 x 1 bed; 79 x 2 bed; 22 x 3 bed; 7 x 4 bed and 5 x 5 bed) and the erection of four townhouses and a ... view the full minutes text for item 6.2 |

Mr B Teal spoke in objection on the grounds that the development would result in a loss of park space on Christian Street. The proposed open space was fragmented and the development was overcrowded.
Mr Jamal Uddin spoke in objection on the grounds of the social deprivation on the Berner Estate. He felt that residents were currently overcrowded and that the new development would exacerbate the situation. He felt that the Council should try to improve the social environment. He was also concerned over the effect on the Community Centre.
Mr Jamalur Rahman spoke in support on the grounds that the development would improve the area for the local residents. He praised the public consultation which had taken place. However, he asked that the management of the Community Centre be given careful consideration.
Mr Kieran Wheeler spoke on behalf of the applicant. He reiterated the points made regarding the public consultation and outlined the benefits of the scheme, including the increase of 170 sqm in public open space. He reminded Members that the management of the Community Centre was not a material planning consideration.
Mr Stephen Irvine, Development Control Manager, presented a detailed report on the application outlining the benefits of the scheme, including the S106 legal agreement and the mitigation measures proposed to overcome any overlooking. He advised Members of the objections received and addressed the concerns of the residents, explaining the movement of the amenity and open space around the site.
Members asked questions relating to lighting, open space and the Community Centre. Clarification was sought on the safety of the football pitch from traffic, the car club, the carbon reduction strategy and the engagement with the PCT in respect of healthcare contributions. Mr Kiely explained the “Hudu” Model, used to calculate healthcare contributions, which was a nationally applied model. The Committee was advised that there was no floodlighting proposed, due to the effect it would have on surrounding residents. The Community Centre would be managed by the same users who would be temporarily rehoused during construction, to ensure continuity of service to the local community. Conditions were proposed in respect of fencing to ensure the safety of the football pitch, however it was not possible to block off Golding Street due to the need for emergency vehicle access. Mr Irvine advised Members that the proposal met the relevant targets in relation to affordable housing.

2 Gladstone Place, London PDF 478 KB Decision: The Committee RESOLVED that planning permission for the demolition of the existing buildings occupying the site and its redevelopment to provide five buildings of between four and ten storeys in height accommodating 2,687 sqm retail floorspace (Class A1) and 208 residential units (comprising 2 x studio, 81 x 1 bed; 76 x 2 bed; 39 x 3 bed; 4 x4 bed; and 6 x 5 bed), 104 parking spaces and landscaped public, communal and private amenity space at 2 Gladstone Place, London be DEFERRED to further consider the concerns of the Committee.
Minutes: Mr Michael Kiely, Head of Development Decisions, introduced the site and proposal for the demolition of the existing buildings occupying the site and its redevelopment to provide five buildings of between four and ten storeys in height accommodating 2,687 sqm retail floorspace (Class A1) and 208 residential units (comprising 2 x studio, 81 x 1 bed; 76 x 2 bed; 39 x 3 bed; 4 x4 bed; and 6 x 5 bed), 104 parking spaces and landscaped public, communal and private amenity space at 2 Gladstone Place, London.
Mr Alan Tucker spoke in objection on the grounds that despite the community wanting a new supermarket, residents did not want the proposed height of the building which was felt to be overdevelopment of the site. He commented on the density and the low PTAL rating for the area. He also objected on the grounds of parking problems and access for deliveries.
Mr John Woolstencroft spoke on behalf of the applicant and Ms Madeline Forster spoke on behalf of Old Ford Housing Association, both in support of the scheme. Mr Woolstencroft detailed the extensive consultation which had taken place and that the scheme had the support of the GLA. He also outlined the benefits of the scheme which included affordable family sized housing. Ms Forster reiterated the need for affordable family sized housing in the area.
Councillor Ann Jackson spoke on behalf of the residents in support. She felt that the carpark of the disused supermarket attracted anti-social behaviour. The Roman Road area had become run-down and was in need of regeneration. She felt that the community would benefit from the proposal.
Mr Stephen Irvine, Development Control Manager, presented a detailed report on the application. He outlined the benefits of the scheme and the reasons why the proposal was considered acceptable, in terms of the heights, scale, bulk, design and comments from the GLA. It was considered that the application was in line with relevant policy and was needed for the regeneration of the area.
RESOLVED that in accordance with Council Procedure Rule 14.1.13 (motion to extend the meeting under Rule 9) the meeting be extended by up to 1 hour.
Members asked questions relating to the height and design of the buildings; noise mitigation measures; gated communities and the lack of a taxi drop off/collection point.
Mr Irvine advised that the proposal had been assessed against relevant planning policy in terms of height and design. The buildings would be set back to mitigate impact on adjoining residents. The application would enhance the area visually and would increase the safety by removing the current dark alleyways. A reason for refusal could not be sustained on the grounds of loss of light or overdevelopment. He also advised that there would be no gated elements to the scheme. If a taxi point was provided, it would result in a loss of residential parking. Deliveries to the new supermarket would take place within a walled area, which would reduce the noise impact on ... view the full minutes text for item 7.2 |

Mr Terry Natt, Strategic Applications Manager, presented a detailed report on the application, explaining the increase in height of the building previously approved.
Members asked questions relating to the wind analysis, the increase in height and the S106 contributions. Mr Kiely advised the Committee that the original building had been approved by the London Docklands Development Corporation, which had unique permitted development rights. Therefore, the original permission could not be revisited and the Committee needed to consider the increase in building height only.
