Decision:
The Members received advice from the Legal Advisor to the Committee that an issue relating to walkways had been raided by an objector for which there was not enough information and the Legal Advisor advised that that this item should be DEFERRED for additional information.
The Chair moved and the Vice-Chair seconded and on an unanimous vote in favour, the Committee RESOLVED
That the application at Unit 2, Discovery Dock Apartments East, 3 South Quay Square, London, E14, 9RU be DEFERRED.
The Committee were minded to defer the application on the basis that Members didn’t have enough information to make the decision.
Minutes:
An update report was tabled.
The application was discussed in conjunction with agenda item 4.3. Therefore the discussion of this application can be found at minute 4.3. However the Committee separately deliberated and voted on this application.
The relevant matters relating to this application were:
· an infill extension to an existing ground floor commercial unit (currently in use as estate agent)
· change of use for flexible use including A1 (retail), A2 (financial and professional services), A3 (restaurant) and B1a (office)
· enclosure of a walkway
The remainder of the discussion is recorded at minute 4.3. Before moving to vote on the application, the Committee heard a submission from an objector Mr Khan but did not hear from Mr Byrne who had also registered to speak on item 4.4. Mr Khan raised the following concerns:
· There was over concentration of commercial uses.
· Commercial uses at the site had already been established and the additions would create an inappropriate mix.
· A3 uses result on long opening hours and would cause nuisance.
· No details of ventilation of the units have been provided.
· There would be loss of public realm.
· Parking spaces were introduced without permission.
· There would be a loss of a walkway which would cause pedestrians to seek alternative walking routes such as the roadway or an adjoining site.
The Members received advice from the Legal Advisor to the Committee that an issue had been raised by an objector around the enclosure of the colonnade which might be subject to a walkway agreement. Since there was insufficient information available to Members on this matter the Legal Advisor advised that in this circumstance this item should be DEFERRED for additional information.
The Chair moved and the Vice-Chair seconded and on an unanimous vote in favour, the Committee
RESOLVED
That the application at Unit 2, Discovery Dock Apartments East, 3 South Quay Square, London, E14, 9RU be DEFERRED.
The Committee was minded to defer the application on the basis that Members did not have enough information to make the decision.
