Recommendation:
That the Committee resolve to GRANT planning permission subject to any direction by The Mayor of London prior completion of a legal agreement conditions and informatives
Minutes:
Update Report tabled.
Paul Buckenham (Development Manager, Development and Renewal) introduced the application and the update.
Jane Jin (Planning Officer) gave a presentation on the application describing the site and surrounds, the site designation, the floor plans and the height of the building. It was considered that the loss of the water space and the dock wall was acceptable in view of the overall benefits of the scheme (the new pedestrian link across the dock, the enhancements to the public realm, the biodiversity enhancements). The plans for the dock wall would cause less than substantial harm to the setting of the listed wall and the Conservation Area. Contributions had been secured in line with policy.
Given the merits of the scheme, it was recommended that the planning permission and listed building consent be granted.
In response to questions, Officers clarified the plans for the dock wall. A condition would be imposed to the satisfaction of English Heritage and the Council’s Conservation Officer to ensure the repair works were of a high standard. Officers also clarified the size of the extension in relation to the water space required to make best use of the office space. The impact on traffic and the highway should be minimal given the travel assessment, the number of parking spaces and the implementation of a servicing plan. The additional ecological benefits were also explained.
On a unanimous vote, the Committee RESOLVED:
1. That planning permission PA/13/02344 be GRANTED for the outline application for the demolition of any existing structures, and construction of a building of up to 102,102 sq.m (GIA) comprising office use (use class B1) along with a decked terrace to the Middle Dock, access and highways works, provision for flood storage, landscaping, pedestrian link and other works incidental to the application (all matters reserved) subject to:
