Before the consideration of this item, Mr Pete Smith, Development Control Manager drew attention to two new policy documents. The ‘Managing Development’, Development Plan Document and the Fish Island Area Action Plan. He outlined their currents status. Where relevant, weight would need to be placed on them in future.
At the request of the Chair, Mr Pete Smith, Development Control Manager, introduced the application (PA/11/00798)) regarding redevelopment of the site at 45 Millhabour, London.
Mr Simon Ryan, Deputy Team Leader, Planning Services, made a detailed presentation of the application, as contained in the circulated report and update, including plans and a slideshow. Mr Ryan explained the site and surrounds falling within the Millennium Quarter and its current use. Part of the site was presently being used as a place of worship. He referred to the scope of the consultation resulting in 11 individual objections and the issues raised. The material consideration for consideration concerned land use, housing, design, amenity, transport, sustainability and the Section 106 agreement as set out in the report. On balance it was considered that the proposal complied with policy and was acceptable on all these grounds.
Mr Ryan also explained the housing mix. Overall it was considered that the scheme provided an acceptable level of affordable housing taking into account viability. Mr Ryan also described the amenity space in line with policy, the car parking plans and the S. 106 contributions.

Officers had received a letter today from the Charity stating that they were in advanced negotiations to identify an alternative site for the place of worship and that this letter could be circulated to the Committee.
The Committee then raised a number of questions concerning:
In response to these points, Officers referred to the policy for socially rented family units. Whilst the scheme fell short of the target, the overall provision for family units exceeded requirements. Any changes in the housing mix could put at risk its viability.
