Minutes:
Update Report tabled.
Jerry Bell (Applications Team Leader) introduced the report regarding the site at 3-11 Goulston Street and 4-6 and 16-22 Middlesex Street, Middlesex Street, London E1 for the demolition of the existing buildings and erection of a nine storey hotel and associated works.
There were no speakers registered to address the Committee.
Richard Murrell (Planning Officer) presented the detailed report and the update. The scheme was before the Committee due to the scale. Mr Murrell explained the outcome of the consultation with one letter in support and one in objection. Mr Murrell referred to the previously approved scheme (2008) on site for an office use, which was broadly similar and established the land use. He highlighted the improvements in relation to the previous scheme.
It was considered that the change to a hotel use was acceptable given the issues with re-establishing an office use at that site. Furthermore, the site was located within the Central Activities Zone which encouraged the provision of hotels in such areas. The scheme would help meet the Council’s targets for hotel accommodation and contribute to the local economy.The sunlight and day light assessment complied with policy with relatively minor impacts.
The application had been accompanied by an assessment on servicing. Details of which would be secured by condition. This included measures to prevent conflict with the functioning of the local markets in relation to servicing. The Council’s Markets Team were satisfied with the scheme subject to the implementation of the conditions on this matter. There would also be a Construction Management Plan to avoid conflict with other major projects such as TfLs proposed changes to the gyratory.
Mr Murrell drew attention to the revised Head of Terms for the s106 agreement as detailed in the update report. The s106 contributions fully complied with the Council’s Supplementary Planning Document. In reply to Members, it was clarified that any proposal to convert to a residential use would require a separate planning application.
On a unanimous vote, the Committee RESOLVED:
1. That planning permission (PA/12/02045) at Site At 3-11 Goulston Street And 4-6 and 16-22 Middlesex Street, Middlesex Street, London E1 be GRANTED for the demolition of the existing buildings and erection of a nine storey building to provide a 395 room hotel (Use Class C1), together with the creation of a new pedestrian route and other works incidental to the development subject to the following
2. The prior completion of a legal agreement to secure the planning obligations set out in the report AND the revised S106 Heads of Terms in the update report.
