Update Report tabled
Jerry Bell (Applications Team Leader) introduced the report regarding the site at Bow Wharf adjoining Regents Canal and Old Ford Road, Old Ford Road, London for the demolition of existing buildings to facilitate the redevelopment of the site to provide three buildings.
At the last meeting of the Committee, Members were minded to refuse the applications for planning permission, conservation area and listed building consent. Officers had since considered Members initial reasons and had drafted suggested reasons for refusal. However, the Officer recommendation remained unchanged to grant permission.
Listed building consent.
Mary O'Shaughnessy (Planning Officer) presented the detailed report and the update on the application.
It was noted that the listed building application could be considered separately as the work could be carried out independently of the main development. With the permission of the Chair, the application was therefore considered accordingly.
Ms O'Shaughnessy gave a presentation on the key aspects of this scheme. She highlighted the views of the historical societies as reported at the last meeting. (The East London Waterway Group and the Greater London Industrial Archaeology Society). It was noted that whilst these groups objected to the main scheme, they supported this aspect of the work to resurface the bridge. The Borough’s Conservation Officer supported this application.
On a vote of 4 in favour and 0 against the Committee RESOLVED:
That listed building consent (PA/11/03372) at Bow Wharf Adjoining Regents Canal and Old Ford Road, Old Ford Road, London be GRANTED for proposed alterations for the stop lock listed bridge subject to the conditions and informatives set out in the 11th April 2013 committee report.
Planning Permission and Conservation Area Consent
Mary O'Shaughnessy gave a presentation on these applications. In particular, she explained the proposed materials as design and appearance was a key issue for Members. The main material would be brick and was in keeping with the surrounding area. Samples of the brick work were on display for the committee. The materials also included slate roof and aluminium windows and doors. Officers considered that they would preserve the character of the area.
Members raised questions about the s106 funding. It was proposed that the funding be ring fenced to a particular ward.
In response, Officers explained the requirements as set out in policy for s106 agreements for seeking and allocating the funding. They also highlighted the need to pool certain contributions. It was noted that further consideration would need to be given to the suggestion in light of the policy.
Accordingly Councillor Anwar Khan proposed an amendment to the application that the s106 contributions be ring fenced to the Bow West ward. This was seconded by Councillor Shiria Khatun and agreed by the Committee on a vote of 3 in favour and 1 against.
The Chair then took a vote on the suggested reasons for refusal in the report. On a vote of 0 in favour, this proposal fell.
