Asda – Crossharbour District Centre, 151 East Ferry Road, London, E14 3BT (PA/19/02534) PDF 6 MB Proposal:
Additional documents: Minutes: Update reports published.
Paul Buckenham introduced the application for a hybrid planning application (part detailed, part outline) for the demolition of existing buildings and the comprehensive, mixed-use, re-development of the site, comprising a maximum of 218,991sqm (GEA) of floorspace.
The Chair confirmed that Committee Members had recently attended a virtual briefing presentation attended by Officers and members of the developer’s team and a site visit attended by Officers as set out in the Committee update report.
Rikki Weir presented the application describing the site and the surrounds and the key features of the application. He also summarised the planning history including the key differences between this new application and the previously consented schemes in terms of the provisions of housing and removal of the petrol filling station.
The Committee also were advised of the following matters:
· A summary of the outline planning permission, to be assessed at the reserved matters stage. The acceptability of which would be subject to the limitations in the control documents (Development Specification, Design Code, and Parameter Plans documents). · An overview of the detailed component, including the layout of the proposals. · Results of the consultation including the number of representations received in support and objection and the issues raised. · That in land used terms, the proposals were in line with the aspirations in the Site Allocation (Crossharbour Town Centre). · The scheme sought the removal of the Petrol Station (similar to the previous 2014 consent) due to the site’s unsuitability for this, in light of the Fire Authority’s comments as well as lack of policy support for its retention. · The Island Health centre is not included in the application site boundary and that the health centre site would not be prejudiced by this development. Controlled vehicular access would be retained to the health centre car park. · That the housing mix broadly complied with policies. 25% of which would be affordable housing. It would help meet the Council housing delivery targets, particularly important in light of the recent adverse Housing Delivery Test result. It would deliver good quality housing including wheelchair accessible housing. · The other benefits of the scheme included the delivery of a number of interlinked public areas, improved pedestrian access, land earmarked for an education facility and a community centre, in line with the site allocation requirements. · In terms of the design and heritage issues, the tallest buildings had been arranged in such a way to minimise their impacts on residential amenity and Mudchute Park and to fit in with the stepping down policy to Canary Wharf. It would cause less than substantial harm to heritage assets and this would be outweighed by the benefits of the development. The Committee noted views of the proposals from the surrounding area. · The scheme had also been designed sensitively to minimise impacts on neighbourhood amenity. However the development would result in adverse impacts on sunlight/daylight to properties, particularly windows at Glengall Grove and Friars Mead. It was found that many of these impacts were due in part to ... view the full minutes text for item 7.1 |
