Minutes:
Mr Michael Kiely, Head of Development Decisions, introduced the site and proposal for the redevelopment to provide a mixed use development comprising a 17 storey office building rising to a maximum height of 76m (and providing 41,361 sqm office floorspace); 8 storey hotel plus plant room; building (providing 207 guest rooms and comprising 15,002 sqm floorspace); together with 872 sqm of Class A1 to A4 use (retail) floorspace; and ancillary car parking, serving, landscaping and new vehicular access at 4-6 and 16-22 Middlesex Street and 3-11 Goulston Street, E1.
Mr Terry Natt, Strategic Applications Manager, presented a detailed report on the application, outlining the proposal and explaining the reasons why it had been recommended for approval. He informed the Committee that there was a good Section 106 legal agreement proposed to mitigate any effects from the development.
Members asked questions relating to the financial contributions towards affordable housing, and expressed concern that £1.5 million would be insufficient. Questions were also asked relating to carbon emissions, wind effects, landscaping and the Petticoat Lane Market.
The Committee was advised that a number of conditions had been proposed to ensure the development met carbon emissions targets. The wind effects had been assessed and were considered to be acceptable. Local Area Partnerships would advise on appropriate locations for public realm contributions, in line with the emerging Aldgate Master Plan. Members were reminded that the use of part of the existing site for market stalls was a private agreement with the owner and not for consideration of the Committee.
Members proposed that the Section 106 agreement be amended to include cultural and heritage facilities and initiatives and that the financial contribution towards affordable housing be increased to £3 million. Mr Kiely advised the Committee that increasing the figure for affordable housing could render the application unviable. However, the motion was carried.
Councillor Shahed Ali expressed his concern that the loss of a number of market stalls in Petticoat Lane Market had not been acknowledged in the application, and wished his displeasure to be noted in the minutes.
On a vote of 4 for and 3 against, the Committee RESOLVED that planning permission for the redevelopment to provide a mixed use development comprising a 17 storey office building rising to a maximum height of 76m (and providing 41,361 sqm office floorspace); 8 storey hotel plus plant room; building (providing 207 guest rooms and comprising 15,002 sqm floorspace); together with 872 sqm of Class A1 to A4 use (retail) floorspace; and ancillary car parking, serving, landscaping and new vehicular access at 4-6 and 16-22 Middlesex Street and 3-11 Goulston Street, E1 be GRANTED subject to
