13/11/2009 - 60 Commercial Road, London E1 1EP
RESOLVED
That the Officer recommendation to grant planning permission for the demolition of the existing building at Jobcentre Plus, 60 Commercial Road, London, E1 1LP, and erection of a 21 storey building plus basement to provide retail/commercial/community unit (Use Class A1/A2/A3/A4/B1/D1) at ground floor and student accommodation and ancillary uses together with associated servicing, landscaping and other incidental works, be NOT ACCEPTED.
The Committee indicated that they were minded to refuse the planning application because of serious concerns over:
- The height and bulk of the proposed development in the context of surrounding buildings.
- Daylight and sunlight issues.
- Inappropriate S106 contributions
In accordance with the Development Procedural Rules, the application was DEFERRED to enable Officers to prepare a supplementary report to a future meeting of the Committee setting out proposed detailed reasons for refusal and the implications of the decision.
