That the Officer recommendation to grant planning permission for the demolition of the existing building at Former Beagle House, Barham Street, London, E1 8EP and the erection of a 17 storey building comprising two ground floor retail units (Class A1, A2, A3, or A4), 1st – 17th floor office use (Class B1) and two basement levels plus associated servicing, landscaping, plant accommodation, parking, access and any other works incidental to the application be NOT ACCEPTED.
The Committee indicated that they were minded to refuse the planning application because of serious concerns over:
- The physical impact of the scheme on the surrounding area in terms of the bulk and massing of the proposed building.
- Inadequate financial contributions towards the local transport infrastructure.
- Inadequate financial contributions towards local employment and training.
In accordance with Development Procedural Rules, the application was DEFERRED to enable Officers to prepare a supplementary report to a future meeting of the Committee setting out proposed detailed reasons for refusal and the implications of the decision.
