Archway House, 1 Muirfield Crescent and 47 Millharbour, London, E14 9SZ (PA/14/00604) PDF 760 KB Proposal:
Application under S73 of the Town and Country Planning Act for a minor material amendment to Planning Permission PA/13/00803, dated 13/12/2013 for a variation to condition 2 to allow substitute plans for the following amendments:
· Infilling of part of the first floor, to provide an additional 400sqm (Gross Internal Area) within the approved building envelope and a further 666sqm (Gross Internal Area) of covered plant area to the sixth floor; and
· a subsequent change in roof profile to accommodate plant equipment, from 30m to 32.1m maximum height.
Recommendation:
To GRANT planning permission subject to a Deed of Variation to the legal agreement, conditions and informatives as set out in the Committee Report.
Minutes: Update report tabled.
Amy Thompson (Team Leader, Planning) introduced the application regarding Archway House, 1 Muirfield Crescent and 47 Millharbour, London, E14 9SZ PA/14/00604.
Tim Ross (Deputy Team Leader, Planning Services) gave a presentation on the application. The previous application, PA/13/00803, was granted planning permission under delegated powers for change of use from business to data centre. The variation would result in an increase in floor area and height of the development. As a result, the scheme now met the criteria for consideration by the Strategic Development Committee as set out in the Council’s Constitution.
The site was located in a prominent point within the Isle of Dogs Activity Area near Millwall Inner Dock. The scheme complied with the policies for the area, that sought to support the Canary Wharf major centre, given the mixed use nature of the scheme, the continued employment use and the provision of IT facilities. The principle of the scheme had already been established with the previous application. The site was well served by public transport and located within a reasonable distance to the highway network.
Mr Ross showed pictures comparing the approved application, PA/13/00803 with and without the proposal extension. Additional contributions had been secured to reflect the additional floor space. Officers were recommending that the variation should be granted planning permission.
In response to a Councillor about the comments made by Councillor Wood (as set out in the update), it was confirmed that the applicant had agreed to notify ward Councillors about the relevant approval of details application. An informative would be added to this affect.
In relation to the request from Councillor Wood about the construction hours, Officers confirmed that the hours of construction should in fact read, as per the approved application: 08.00 to 17:00 Monday to Friday; 09.00 to13.00 Saturday with no work on Sundays or Bank Holidays. This application did not affect the previously agreed construction hours so they should be retained.
The applicant considered it necessary to increase the height of the proposal to accommodate additional plant equipment.
On a unanimous vote, the Committee RESOLVED:
1. That Application under S73 of the Town and Country Planning Act at Archway House, 1 Muirfield Crescent and 47 Millharbour, London, E14 9SZ (PA/14/00604) be GRANTED for a minor material amendment to Planning Permission PA/13/00803, dated 13/12/2013 for a variation to condition 2 to allow substitute plans for the following amendments:
· Infilling of part of the first floor, to provide an additional 400sqm (Gross Internal Area) within the approved building envelope and a further 666sqm (Gross Internal Area) of covered plant area to the sixth floor; and
· a subsequent change in roof profile to accommodate plant equipment, from 30m to 32.1m maximum height.
Subject to:
2. The prior completion of a Deed of Variation to the legal agreement to secure the planning obligations set out in the Committee report.
3. That the Corporate Director Development & Renewal and the Service Head (Legal Services) are delegated power to negotiate and complete ... view the full minutes text for item 6.1 |
