Minutes:
Mr Michael Kiely, Head of Development Decisions, introduced the site and proposal for the demolition of existing light industrial buildings and erection of a building comprising 15 storeys plus roof terrace to provide restaurant/café (Class A3) and office/commercial unit (Class A1, A2, A3, B1) on the ground floor with 59 residential units above at 120-132 Chrisp Street, London E14.
Mr Stephen Irvine, Development Control Manager, presented the officer’s report and outlined the issues for the Committee to consider.
Members asked questions relating to disabled parking and the lack of a financial contribution by the applicant to health care provision in the area. Mr Irvine advised the Committee that, in weighing up the viability of the proposal, it was the view of officers that the benefit to the community of the good housing mix outweighed the financial contribution to health care provision.
The Committee AGREED that planning permission for the demolition of existing light industrial buildings and erection of a building comprising 15 storeys plus roof terrace to provide restaurant/café (Class A3) and office/commercial unit (Class A1, A2, A3, B1) on the ground floor with 59 residential units above at 120-132 Chrisp Street, London E14 be GRANTED subject to the following
