  Paragraph 4.2.1 should read:

Letters of consultation were sent to 2021 adjoining owners/occupiers. At the time of writing the report, 4 objections and 1 general comment were received in the form of individual representations. These representations are summarised below:

Paragraph 6.7.16 should read:

London Plan policy 3.6 and LP50 seeks development to provide play and informal recreational space. Policy LP50 and the Mayor’s SPG ‘Shaping Neighbourhoods: Play and Informal Recreation’

recommends 10sqm of dedicated playspace per child for future provision. Based on GLA calculations, the child yield for the development is 31.9 children, thereby resulting in a requirement to provide 318.8m2 of designated play space to meet both policy LP50 and the GLA requirements. The calculator envisages the development will generate 13.2 children under five and therefore does not specify a separate requirement for doorstep playable space. Table 4.7 of the SPG states

that a development with such a yield of children should provide between 300-500m2 of on-site local playable space. The development proposes to provide a total of 362m2 of doorstep playspace and 184.9m2 of ballcourt playspace through the relocation and refurbishment of the

on-site MUGA .

Paragraph 6.9.33 should read:

Additionally. with regards to outlook, it is emphasised that the windows located on buildings locatedin closer proximity to the proposed villas; i.e. Cherbury Court block and Crondall Court block, are serving rooms within the neighbouring units that benefit from other windows. As such, these neighbouring units will continue to enjoy a positive level of outlook both towards the proposed buildings and to other orientations.

Paragraph 8.1.7 should read:

External Lighting

Prior to the occupation of the development, a detailed external lighting plan detailing light coverage and spill (including lux levels) across the site and sensor details shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

REASON: To safeguard against adverse light pollution.
