Paul Buckenham (Planning Services) introduced the planning and listed building application for the demolition of the existing buildings, with the exception of 21-22 Gillender Street (Magnolia House), and redevelopment of the site to provide 307 residential units with works to remedial works to Grade II listed wall.
Victoria Olonisaye-Collins (Planning Services) presented the report, describing the site and the surrounding area. It was considered that in land use terms, the mix use residential development could be considered acceptable given the proposed re - provision of employment floor space in the Local Industrial Location. Officers consider that the substantial public benefits outweigh the less than substantial harm to heritage assets and on balance, the application is therefore acceptable in design terms. It was also noted that the proposals would deliver good quality affordable housing, was acceptable in amenity terms. The proposal would not have an adverse impact upon the local highway. Overall, given the merits of the application, Officers were recommending that it be granted permission.
In response to questions, Officers clarified that the outcome of the consultation and that the representations in objection had been addressed in the Committee report. It was also note that the applicant had carried out their own consultation involving public meetings. There would be measures to mitigate any air quality issues and the Council’s air quality team considered that the proposed mitigation measures were acceptable. Furthermore, the design of the scheme should help mitigate this. It was confirmed that fire sprinklers would be fitted.
In response to further questions, it was noted that there had been contact with the developers for the nearby schemes regarding the opening up of the northern part of the pathway and this remained an aspiration of the various parties involved. In addition, there would be an obligation to secure public access routes and areas of public realm on site including the maintenance of these area.
In response to further questions, Officers confirmed that there would be shortfall of over 12 play space. However, Officers considered that this would be acceptable given that the combined total amount for all age groups would exceed the policy requirements. There would be an overprovision of under 0-11 year old play space.
Careful consideration had been given to the concerns from Historic England about the impact from the height of the building. Given the public benefits of the application, Officers were of the view that this would outweigh any harm caused by the application.
Officers also responded to questions about the accessible housing. Officers also explained that the Committee could place weight on the full amount of affordable housing in this case, because the grant funding from the GLA process was at an advanced stage and has been committed to this scheme, subject to planning permission. .
