Minutes:
Mr Michael Kiely, Head of Development Decisions, introduced the site and proposal for the demolition of existing buildings and redevelopment up to 14 storeys to provide 319 residential units (9 x studio; 107 x 1 bed; 119 x 2 bed; 79 x 3 bed and 5 x 5 bed) and 675 sqm commercial (Class A2, A3, A4, B1, D1 and D2) space at 721-737 Commercial Road and 2-22 Lowell Street, Commercial Road, London.
Mr Terry Natt, Strategic Applications Manager, presented a detailed update report on the application. He reminded Members that the item had been deferred at the previous meeting to allow a daylight/sunlight assessment on the non-residential elements adjacent to the proposed site to be carried out.
The assessment was carried out using residential standards, as there were no published standards for non-residential properties. It was noted that if the Salmon Lane Evangelical Church had been residential, it would have passed the Average Daylight Factor (ADF) test. Therefore, the objection made on behalf of the Church had been withdrawn.
The Committee was informed that an assessment had been submitted by the residents of the Mission Building. It showed that the Mission Building would experience a loss of light to some windows. However, overall it was considered that the levels of daylight and sunlight would be adequate. As a result, the four letters of objection received from Mission Building residents had been withdrawn. Members asked for clarification on the levels of daylight and sunlight.
The Committee RESOLVED that planning permission for the demolition of existing buildings and redevelopment up to 14 storeys to provide 319 residential units (9 x studio; 107 x 1 bed; 119 x 2 bed; 79 x 3 bed and 5 x 5 bed) and 675 sqm commercial (Class A2, A3, A4, B1, D1 and D2) space at 721-737 Commercial Road and 2-22 Lowell Street, Commercial Road, Londonbe GRANTED subject to:
