CHIEF EXECUTIVE
(Please note that the wording in this document may not reflect the final wording used in the minutes.)
Minutes:
Mr Michael Kiely, Head of Development Decisions, introduced the site and proposal for planning permission for the demolition of the existing building and structures on the site and erection of a new building (196.67m high) providing 122,615 sq.m of floorspace (office & retail), underground parking, services and plant and provision of a new publicly accessible walkway to dockside at 1 Park Place, London.
Mr Simon Slatford spoke in objection on the grounds of overdevelopment and expressed his concern that the issues of overshadowing and the impact on neighbouring properties had not been assessed. The proposed building would also obscure the view of the pyramid building.
Mr Dara Miah spoke in support of the application stating that the proposal would benefit the local community.
Mr Julian Carter spoke on behalf of the applicant and detailed the benefits of the scheme. He advised that an impact assessment had addressed the issues raised in objection and that officers had found these acceptable.
Mr Terry Natt, Strategic Applications Manager, presented a detailed report on the application and responded to questions concerning the benefits for young people and the local community, and the design of the building.
On a vote of 6 for and 1 abstention, the Committee RESOLVED that planning permission for the demolition of the existing building and structures on the site and erection of a new building (196.67m high) providing 122,615 sq.m of floorspace (office & retail), underground parking, services and plant and provision of a new publicly accessible walkway to dockside be GRANTED subject to
