- View the background to item 6.1
Decision:
On a vote of 3 for and 1 against, the Committee RESOLVED
(1) That the Officer recommendation to refuse the application be NOT ACCEPTED and that outline planning permission for demolition and redevelopment works at Stroudley Walk Market, Stroudley Walk, London, E3 (PA/10/373) be GRANTED for the following reasons:
- On balance, the benefits of regenerating Stroudley Walk and the proposed amount of affordable housing, replacement of existing affordable housing stock and mix of units, as demonstrated through viability assessment is considered acceptable. As such, the proposal is in line with policies 3.8, 8.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13 of the London Plan (2011), saved policy HSG7 of the Council’s Unitary Development Plan (1998), policies HSG2 and HSG3 of the Council’s Interim Planning Guidance (2007); policy SP02 of the Core Strategy Development Plan Document (2010); and DM3 of the Draft Managing Development DPD 2011 which seek to ensure that new developments offer a range of housing choices.
- Whilst the s106 package falls significantly short of the required amount for a development of this scale, the Council accept that the applicant’s offer in light of the viability constraints identified in this proposal. The provision of affordable housing, alongside other regenerative benefits, the s106 package is considered to be acceptable in line with Regulation 122 of Community Infrastructure Levy 2010, saved policy DEV4 of the Council’s Unitary Development Plan 1998, policies SP02 and SP13 of the Core Strategy 2010, which seek to secure contributions towards infrastructure and services required to facilitate the proposed development.
(2) That such planning permission be subject to the agreement of the S106 package as set out in the Committee report and to any direction by the Mayor of London.
(3) That the Corporate Director, Development and Renewal be delegated power to impose conditions and informatives on the planning permission to secure the matters set out in the Committee report.
Minutes:
The Chair indicated that the planning applications set out in agenda items 6.1 and 6.2 would be considered concurrently, as they related to the same site, but with a separate vote on each.
Councillor Peter Golds stated that he had been a member of the Committee at the last meeting and had participated in the vote on these applications. He noted that negative comments regarding his participation had been made on a local blog and referred the matter to the Legal Officer. Ms Megan Nugent, Legal Services Team Leader, stated that she would take the matter into serious consideration. Councillor Golds added that he would be referring the issue to the Monitoring Officer. The Chair confirmed that this matter would be recorded in the minutes of the meeting.
Mr Pete Smith, Development Control Manager, briefly introduced the applications for outline and full planning permission at Stroudley Walk Market, Stroudley Walk, London, E3 3EW, which Officers had been minded to refuse, whilst Members had not been happy to accept those recommendations.
Mr Jerry Bell, Strategic Applications Manager, made a further brief presentation on the details of the applications.
The Chair commented that there had been a very detailed discussion at the last meeting, with many Members’ questions on all aspects of the applications. He indicated, therefore, that the Committee should proceed to vote in the light of the supplementary reports and the recommended reasons for approval.
