Update report tabled.
Councillors Stephanie Eaton and Peter Golds left the meeting for the consideration of this item only.
On a vote of 4 in favour 0 against and 1 abstention, the Committee RESOLVED:
That planning permission (PA/11/3617) at Skylines Village, Limeharbour, London be REFUSED for proposed demolition of all existing buildings within Skylines Village and the erection of buildings with heights varying from 2 to 50 storeys for the reasons set out in the paragraph 7.4 and 7.6 of the committee report detailed below.
Reason 1
|
The proposal represents an overdevelopment of the site, in excess of the density ranges outlined by Policy 3.4 of the London Plan (July 2011) and the associated Supplementary Planning Guidance “Housing” and results in a scale, form and height of development which fails to adequately deal with the transition in built character between the Canary Wharf tall buildings cluster and the lower density development that lies outside the Canary Wharf Activity Area, fails to provide adequate play space for all age groups and leads to a material loss of daylight to neighbouring residential occupiers, contrary to Policies 3.4, 3.6, 7.1, 7.4 and 7.7 of the London Plan (July 2011), saved Policy DEV1 of the adopted Unitary Development Plan (1998), Policies SP02 and SP10 of the Core Strategy (2010), Polices DM4, DM24 and DM25 of the Managing Development DPD (Submission Version May 2012) with modifications and Policies DEV1, DEV2, HSG1 and DEV27 of the Interim Planning Guidance (2007) and as a result, it is not considered to provide a sustainable form of development in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework.
Reason 2
The proposed redevelopment of the existing Skylines Village will lead to a net loss of B1 (Business) floorspace, contrary to Site Allocation 20 “Marsh Wall East” as identified in the Managing Development DPD (Submission Version May 2012) with modifications which states that development should re-provide and intensify existing employment floorspace, saved Policies EMP1 and EMP3 of the Unitary Development Plan (1998), Policy SP06 of the Core Strategy 2010, Policy Ee2 of the Interim Planning Guidance (2007 and Policy DM15 of the Managing Development DPD (Submission Version May 2012) with modifications and as a result, it is not considered to provide a sustainable form of development in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework.
Councillor Helal Uddin did not vote on this item as he was not present at the last Committee meeting where it was last considered.
