5.1  PROPOSAL: Conversion of first floor community meeting rooms (class F2 (b)) to a residential unit (class C3) and provision of cycle store to front elevation at ground floor level.

POST SUBMISSION REVISIONS: None

5.2  The Planning Officers introduced the application as published. During the course of the officer’s presentation reference was made to the published addendum and the following amendments were made to the application report:

3.7  Internal Consultees

3.7.1  Waste Management: The required waste storage appears to be available and officers do not object to the plans from a waste management viewpoint.

3.7.2 Traffic and Transportation: The scheme is car free and cycle parking is provided. Officers would not expect a Blue Badge space to be provided owing to the scale of the development. No objection.

No persons were registered to speak in either objection or support of the application. Representatives from the applicant side were present to answer questions from the Sub-Committee.

5.3  During the discussion phase of the meeting a number of points were raised including the following:

·  The Radley and Southwold Tenants and Residents’ Association (TRA), whose former community meeting room was being converted, remained registered, and that they had indicated to Hackney Council that they would like to start up again (they had not met since March 2020). It was noted that there was another alternative community facility within 182 metres of the proposed site. The Radley and Southwold TRA had been contacted and informed of the details and the reasons behind the planning application;

·  Hackney Council would ensure that the proposed residential unit was affordable and would go through the necessary letting policy with it being allocated to those in the borough most in need;

·  The Section 106 legal agreement was not securing any financial contribution in relation to the application. It was securing the unit as car free and as an affordable housing unit in perpetuity;

·  It was confirmed that Radley and Southwold TRA would be able to use the other nearby community space for free;

·  The London Plan had set out a minimum space standard for a  two bed residential unit but the proposed unit was below that standard. Therefore it could only be used as one bedroom two person accommodation;

·  A cycle locker was proposed to hold three bicycles which was compliant with London Plan guidelines.

Vote:

For:  Cllr Desmond, Cllr Joseph, Cllr Levy, Cllr Potter, Cllr Sadek, Cllr Race, Cllr Webb and Cllr Young.

POST SUBMISSION REVISIONS: None.

6.2  The Major Projects Principal Planning Officer introduced the application as published. During the course of the officer’s presentation reference was made to the published the addendum and the following amendments were made to the application report:

An addendum to the structural report has been received, which is appended to this addendum report. It describes additional investigative works undertaken and associated underpinning and bricking up of subterranean arches to secure the stability of the southern colonnade. It has been reviewed by the Conservation, Urban Design and Sustainability Team and the additional works proposed to stabilise the building found to be reasonable and necessary.

The approved drawing numbers should therefore be revised to read as follows:

KPT Design Structural Report - Demolition and Excavation ref LP1329 rev 01 dated August 2022 and KPT Design Addendum to KPT Design Demolition and Excavation ref LP1329

No persons were registered to speak in either objection or support of the application. Representatives from the applicant side were present to answer questions from the Sub-Committee.

6.2  During the discussion phase of the meeting a number of points were raised including the following:
