25/10/2011 - St David's Square, Westferry Road, E14 (PA/10/2786)
Councillor Tim Archer seconded by Councillor Marc Francis moved the following amendment to the reasons for approval (Paragraph 3.3 of circulated report) which was unanimously agreed:
- Deletion of the word ‘perceived’ in the second sentence.
- Insertion of the words ‘Anti Social Behaviour’ in the second sentence to read ‘levels of crime and Anti Social Behaviour’.
On a unanimous vote the Committee RESOLVED
1. That planning permission be GRANTED for the erection of entrance gates to Westferry Road, Ferry Street and Thames Walkway together with associated walls to perimeter estate for the reasons set out in the circulated report as amended, namely that:
“The proposal to introduce security measures at the site are considered necessary due to the levels of crime and Anti Social Behaviour at the application site and therefore warrant the provision of gates and fixed means of enclosure and is a material consideration that outweighs the requirements of policies DEV3 and DEV4 of the Interim Planning Guidance 2007 and policy SP09 of the Core Strategy 2010.”
2. That the Head of Planning and Building Control is delegated power to impose conditions on the planning permission to secure the matters set out in the circulated report.
(Councillors Ann Jackson and Craig Aston refrained from voting due their absence from the 14th September 2011 meeting in accordance with 11.4 of the Development Committee Procedure Rules)

On a vote of 5 for and 1 against, the Committee RESOLVED
That the application for planning permissions at St David’s Square, Westferry Road, E14, for the erection of entrance gates to Westferry Road, Ferry Street and Thames Walkway together with associated walls to perimeter estate be DEFERRED to enable further information to be obtained on:
- the levels of anti-social behaviour at St David’s Square and comparable levels with the remainder of the Isle of Dogs and the Borough;
- the availability of alternate routes to Thames Walkway and Westferry Road and any likely access restrictions.
The Committee also recommended that a meeting of Millwall Crime Team, the local Police and residents should be arranged to discuss problems of anti-social behaviour affecting St David’s Square.
