PLANNING APPLICATIONS WITH NON-COMPLETED LEGAL AGREEMENTS PDF 75 KB Decision: The Committee RESOLVED that, in respect of the applications listed in the schedule at section 5 of the agenda item, the Corporate Director of Development and Renewal be delegated power to either:
(i) refuse planning permission; or (ii) treat them as being “finally disposed of” under the provisions of Article 25 of the General Permitted Development Order.
Minutes: The Committee considered a report which proposed procedures to deal with old planning applications where the section 106 legal agreement had not been signed in a timely manner. Members were reminded that in recent reports, the recommendations to grant planning permission subject to the completion of a section 106 legal agreement had also included a further recommendation that authority be delegated to refuse planning permission if the legal agreement was not completed within a specified time period, usually 3 months.
The Committee received a schedule of applications which had been approved by the Committee prior to the current practice. It was proposed that, in respect of those applications, the Corporate Director of Development and Renewal be delegated power to either refuse planning permission or treat the applications as being finally disposed under the provisions of Article 25 of the General Development Procedure Order.

82 West India Dock Road & 15 Salter Street, London E14 PDF 289 KB Decision: The Committee noted that had the Strategic Development Committee been empowered to make a decision on the application for the demolition of existing buildings and the erection of a 7 storey and 21 storey building in connection with its use as 1442 sqm of commercial floor space within Classes A1, A2, A3 or B1 and 120 flats consisting of 65 x 1 bedroom, 24 x 2 bedroom, 25 x 3 bedroom and 6 x 4 bedroom units at 82 West India Dock Road and 15 Salter Street, London E14, it would have been refused for the following reason:
1) The proposal amounts to an undesirable overdevelopment of the site with excessive density, height, mass and bulk resulting in an inappropriate design that is not justified by the surrounding urban context. As such, the proposal is contrary to the following statutory and emerging development plan policies:
The Tower Hamlets Unitary Development Plan 1998: Policy DEV1 (General Design and Environment Requirements) Policy DEV3 (Mixed Use Development) Policy DEV6 (High Buildings outside the Central Area) Policy DEV8 (Developments which adversely affect significant local views)
The London Plan 2004: Policy 4B.1 Design Principles for a compact city Policy 4B.3 Maximising the potential of sites and Table 4B.3 Policy 4B.8 Tall buildings – location Policy 4B.9 Large-scale buildings – design and impact
The Tower Hamlets Development Plan Document Core Strategy and Development Control Submission Document November 2006: Core Policy CP4 (Good Design) Core Policy CP48 (Tall Buildings) Policy DEV2 (Character and Design) Policy DEV27 (Tall Buildings Assessment) Policy HSG1 (Determining Residential Density) and Planning Standard 4
The Committee noted that the Planning Inspectorate was advised that any grant of planning permission should be accompanied by an agreement or unilateral undertaking under section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to secure planning obligations under the following heads:
1. An affordable housing contribution of 35% of the residential floorspace to be provided at a ratio of 80:20 between rental and intermediate housing. 2. A £197,472 contribution to the provision of education facilities in the area. 3. A £532,977 contribution towards transport capacity improvements. 4. A ‘car free’ arrangement that prohibits residents from applying for a parking permit from the Council. 5. The implementation of a Travel Plan. 6. The use of Local Labour in Construction. 7. Measures to mitigate impact on telecommunication and radio transmissions to include those used by the Metropolitan Police and the Docklands Light Railway.
Minutes: Mr Michael Kiely, Head of Development Decisions, presented a report relating to an application for the demolition of existing buildings and the erection of a 7 storey and 21 storey building in connection with its use as 1442 sqm of commercial floor space within Classes A1, A2, A3 or B1 and 120 flats consisting of 65 x 1 bedroom, 24 x 2 bedroom, 25 x 3 bedroom and 6 x 4 bedroom units at 82 West India Dock Road and 15 Salter Street, London E14.
Members were informed that the application was the subject of an appeal to the Planning Inspectorate against the Council’s failure to determine the application within the statutory period. The Council had to inform the Planning Inspectorate of the decision it would have taken, had it been empowered to, and that decision had been required before the meeting of the Strategic Development Committee. Therefore, the Chief Executive exercised his powers under paragraph 4.4.3 of the Budget and Policy Framework, contained in the Council’s Constitution, under the Urgent Action procedures and refused the planning application on the grounds over overdevelopment and that the proposal was contrary to Council Policy.

Ms Helen Cantalo spoke in objection on the grounds of height and density. She felt that the proposal would reduced daylight/sunlight and was contrary to London Plan policy.
Mr Hugo Marchant spoke in objection on the grounds of height and density. He felt that there was insufficient healthcare and education provision in the area to cater for additional residents.
Mr Justin Kenworthy spoke on behalf of the applicant. He attempted to address the residents concerns and gave reasons why the development should be approved. He felt that it would improve the area and provide affordable housing.
Ms Mignano AnnaMaria spoke in support of the application, on behalf of the residents of Colmans Wharf. She felt it would maximise the potential of the site and would regenerate the area. She also welcomed the affordable housing provision.
Ms Renee Goodwin, Strategic Applications Manager, presented a detailed report on the application and outlined the main planning issues for the Committee to consider when making its decision. She addressed the concerns of the residents and informed Members that the application satisfied the relevant planning policies and would have minimal impact on the neighbouring properties.
Members asked questions relating to the Environmental Impact Assessment, the scale of the buildings, the affordable housing provision, the amount of car parking provision, the comments received from the Police and the impact on transport.
Ms Goodwin advised the Committee that the Environment Agency was satisfied, subject to conditions being imposed. The Police accepted that the development complied with policy and that Transport for London was satisfied with the financial contribution to local transport.

Minutes: Mr Michael Kiely, Head of Development Decisions, introduced the site and proposal for the demolition of existing two/three storey buildings and redevelopment of the site to provide an eleven storey building in connection with the use of the site for B1/A1/A2/A4 purposes at ground floor level and 305 student bedrooms on the upper floors with associated hard and soft landscaping at 249-253 Cambridge Heath Road.
Ms Petra Salva spoke in objection on the grounds that the proposed building was too high and the site was not suitable for student housing. She felt that there would be a loss of light; and there would be noise and traffic impact.
Ms Toni Merridew spoke in support of the application, on behalf of the women’s centre. She felt that the proposal would regenerate the area and provide jobs and childcare provision.
Mr Nick Brindley spoke on behalf of the applicant. He informed the Committee that the height of the building had been reduced. The daylight/sunlight report was acceptable and there would be a Section 106 legal agreement to secure funding for transport improvements in the area.
Mr Stephen Irvine, Development Control Manager, presented a detailed report on the application. He outlined the reasons why the proposal was acceptable in planning terms and addressed the concerns of the residents. The proposal was in line with BRE guidelines on daylight/sunlight and therefore a refusal on those grounds could not be sustained. He also advised that there was a shortage of student housing in London.
Members expressed concern that Tower Hamlets had accommodated numerous proposals for student housing in recent months and sought reassurance that other London boroughs were also providing as much student housing, as there was a need for social housing in the Borough. Members also asked questions relating the lease for the women’s centre. The Committee was advised that the latter point was not a material planning consideration.
The Committee RESOLVED that planning permission for the demolition of existing two/three storey buildings and redevelopment of the site to provide an eleven storey building in connection with the use of the site for B1/A1/A2/A4 purposes at ground floor level and 305 student bedrooms on the upper floors with associated hard and soft landscaping at 249-253 Cambridge Heath Road be GRANTED subject to:
