Minutes:
Mr Michael Kiely, Head of Development Decisions, introduced the site and proposal for the erection of a 23 storey office building (Use Class B1) incorporating car parking, servicing and plant at basement level, together with associated infrastructure, landscaping, and other works incidental to the application at 25 Churchill Place, London E14.
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.
On a vote of 2 for and 5 abstentions, the Committee RESOLVED that planning permission for the erection of a 23 storey office building (Use Class B1) incorporating car parking, servicing and plant at basement level, together with associated infrastructure, landscaping, and other works incidental to the application at 25 Churchill Place, London E14 be GRANTED subject to
