Decision:
On a vote of 3 for and 1 against, the Committee RESOLVED
(1) That the Officer recommendation to refuse the application be NOT ACCEPTED and that outline planning permission for demolition and redevelopment works at Stroudley Walk Market, Stroudley Walk, London, E3 (PA/10/373) be GRANTED for the following reasons:
- On balance, the benefits of regenerating Stroudley Walk and the proposed amount of affordable housing, replacement of existing affordable housing stock and mix of units, as demonstrated through viability assessment is considered acceptable. As such, the proposal is in line with policies 3.8, 8.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13 of the London Plan (2011), saved policy HSG7 of the Council’s Unitary Development Plan (1998), policies HSG2 and HSG3 of the Council’s Interim Planning Guidance (2007); policy SP02 of the Core Strategy Development Plan Document (2010); and DM3 of the Draft Managing Development DPD 2011 which seek to ensure that new developments offer a range of housing choices.
- Whilst the s106 package falls significantly short of the required amount for a development of this scale, the Council accept that the applicant’s offer in light of the viability constraints identified in this proposal. The provision of affordable housing, alongside other regenerative benefits, the s106 package is considered to be acceptable in line with Regulation 122 of Community Infrastructure Levy 2010, saved policy DEV4 of the Council’s Unitary Development Plan 1998, policies SP02 and SP13 of the Core Strategy 2010, which seek to secure contributions towards infrastructure and services required to facilitate the proposed development.
(2) That such planning permission be subject to the agreement of the S106 package as set out in the Committee report and to any direction by the Mayor of London.
(3) That the Corporate Director, Development and Renewal be delegated power to impose conditions and informatives on the planning permission to secure the matters set out in the Committee report.
