(Councillor Sharer arrived during the discussion of the item and therefore did not take part in the vote.)

 

5.1  The Planning Officer introduced the report, as set out in the agenda.  He referred to the drawing numbers detailed on the front of the report, which should have stated Drawing Numbers 242-01, Rev J, 242-02.

 

5.2  Ken Rorrison spoke in objection to the scheme, his comments are summarised as follows:

 

§  Representing 70 local residents.

§  This was the third application, as the other two had been refused and feels that this scheme was still not satisfactory.

§  Concerned with the siting of the proposed development, as the siting of the previous applications was deemed unsatisfactory.

§  All of the previous applications had historically taken place predominately along the west side of Church Walk and not along the backland sites.

§  Issue of loss of sunlight/daylight.

§  The ceiling heights were inadequate.

§  Identified twelve items where the planning guidance and regulations had been breached.

§  Loss of amenity, due to shadowing.

§  Sets a precedent for future developments.

§  Adversely impact on the amenity of the area.

§  Gross over-development of the area. The proposed development was to dense for the area.

§  The development would not benefit the area as a whole.

 

5.3  Jaimie Shorten (Barker Shorten Architects) spoke in support of the scheme, his comments are summarised as follows:

 

§  The drawings were accurate.

§  Existing garages were derelict, so felt the proposed development was a positive use of the site.

§  The property would be built to a high standard.

 

5.4  Councillor Smith referred to the issue of loss of sunlight/daylight, as it stated within the report that the Planning Officer was minded to support the daylight/sunlight, subject to the information submitted by the applicant.  The Planning Officer circulated an additional plan at the meeting which showed the 25 degree angle between the ground floor window of the existing property and the roof of the proposed development, which he deemed to be acceptable.

 

5.5  In response to a question from Councillor Buitekant regarding what other buildings were located along the same side of the road, the Planning Officer confirmed that this was a pedestrianised section with residential gardens, a one storey studio and derelict garages, as detailed in the application. 

 

5.6  Reference was made to the concern raised by the objector that this application could set a precedent for future development in the area and have an adverse impact on the amenity of Church Walk.  The Planning Officer reiterated that this side of the road was predominantly gardens and so would be very difficult to develop.

 

5.7  The architect confirmed that the building would be produced using stock brick, the same as other buildings along the road and dark copper cladding above, which was the same used by the modern house opposite the site.

 

5.8  Councillor Webb stated that it would have been useful to  ...  view the full minutes text for item 5.

§  Complex site and done their best to build the development to a very high standard.

§  The height of the proposed development was in line with the neighbouring properties.

 

7.4  The Chair wished to clarify the issue of overlooking into the objector’s property and the Planning Officer believed that the development would not have a negative impact on the property.

 

7.5  Reference was made to the party wall and the applicant confirmed that the party wall would remain as a structured wall.  The Planning Officer added that condition 7 of the recommendation referred to the retention of the party wall.

C)  That in the event of the Section 106 agreement referred to in Recommendation B not being completed by 14 March 2008, the Interim Head of Regulatory Services be given the authority to refuse the application.

 

 

Minutes:

Demolition of the existing 2 residential buildings for medical staff, comprising 358 studio flats and 360 sqm nursery and the erection of a part two, part four & part 6 storey building to provide 119 residential flats (30 x 1 bed, 54 x 2, 25 x 3 bed, 8 x 4 bed and 2 x 5 bed) and 423 sqm nursery.

 

(NB: This application was granted conditional planning permission subject to the signing of a S106 Legal Agreement by Members at Planning Sub-Committee on 16th April 2008.

 

On 4th August 2008 members authorised the inclusion of an additional Section 106 head of term and three additional conditions on the basis that TfL had considered that the proposal would not have an unacceptable impact upon the Transport for London Road Network provided that certain conditions were met.

 

When the application was originally presented to Members at Planning Sub-Committee on 16th April 2008 it was reported that the proposed mix of residential accommodation comprised of 32x1 bed, 50x2 bed, 27x3 bed, 8x4 bed and 2x5 bed as set out in the applicant’s planning application form.

 

The application is being brought back to Members to correct the residential mix of accommodation that was considered by Officers as a result of resubmitted drawings. The residential mix of accommodation should be 30x1 bed, 54x2 bed, 25x3 bed, 8x4 bed and 2x5 bed.

 

The correction does not alter the number of overall residential units (119) that are being provided by the scheme. Furthermore, the assessment of Officers with regard to residential mix in the Report to Members on 16th April 2008 (paragraphs 7.16 ~ 7.18) was based on the corrected residential mix.

 

Moreover, the corrected residential mix does not alter the levels of affordable housing or tenure mix as per the drawings submitted with the application and described in paragraph 7.16 of the Officer’s Report to Members on 16th April, which is 7x1 bed, 24x2 bed, 18x3bed, 8x4-bed and 2x5 bed flats. 

 

Members are requested to correct residential mix of accommodation subject to the conditions and s106 Agreement previously approved.

 

8.1  The Planning Officer introduced the report, as set out in the agenda.  He added that the previous report was attached to the addendum, circulated to Members at the meeting, and not to the report, as stated.

 

8.2  There being no questions from Members the Chair moved to the vote.

 

Unanimously RESOLVED that:-

 

A) Planning Permission be GRANTED, subject to the following conditions:-

 

  1.  SCB1 - Commencement within three years

The development hereby permitted must be begun not later than three years after the date of this permission.

9.2  Reference was made to the addendum which provided clarification on the Intermediate Housing Products.  It was stated that the RSL involved in this development (Family Mosaic) had requested that rather than be required to provide social rented units and shared ownership units that the wording for the S106 head of term be flexible and require social rented units and intermediate housing. 

 

9.3  The actual number of affordable housing units remained the same but allowed the RSL flexibility when providing the intermediate type of affordable housing.

Velodrome - Olympics pdf icon PDF 129 KB

Additional documents:

Decision:

 

RESOLVED that:-

 

The London Borough of Hackney (LBH) supports the Games Mode operation of the Velodrome and Velo Park.

 

The London Borough of Hackney (LBH) raise the following objections with regard to the proposal:

 

·  The LBH objects to the crossing of the River Lea by the BMX and road circuit cycle tracks in Legacy Mode.  In doing so there will be compromises and detriment to the amenity value of the parkland on the west side of the Lea by restricting access to both the river's edge and adjacent parts of the parkland;

 

·  The LBH objects to the Legacy location of the BMX track as it would further occupy parts of the west bank of the River Lea and effectively sterilise an even greater area of parkland and restrict  movement between both west and east, as well as north and south;

 

·  The LBH objects to the high number of car parking spaces proposed in the Legacy formation of the Velo Park (150 spaces).  The LBH would like to see only essential car parking provided (disabled and operational only).

 

·  The London Borough of Hackney (LBH) raise the following observations with regard to the proposed proposal:

 

·  Direct physical and visual access to the river Lea are central to the character and amenity value of the adjacent parkland;

 

·  The western portion of the site is likely to be parkland that the London Borough of Hackney will own and is an important part of the green corridor along the Lea Valley;

 

·  The road track will demand physical security fixtures/measures, including fencing and lighting that will harm the wider amenity value of the parkland.  Details of such have not been provided;

 

·  The road circuit's lighting would benefit only the cyclists on the track, would detract from the adjacent parkland and would have a negative impact on the surrounding habitats' wildlife value;

 

·  Sectional drawings show how manipulation of the land form could reduce the visual impact of the road circuit but it will (by definition) restrict direct physical access from the west and can't hide the track and necessary fencing in its entirety;

 

·  The road circuit and the mountain bike zone should not occupy both sides of the river which would allow spectators to view events from the other side of the river Lea;

 

·  There is concern about the usage of the public space in the Velodrome site during Games Mode as the Main Stadium and most of the Olympic Park entrances are located in the south of the park.  Therefore, accessible and active public open space around the Velodrome venue is very important to attract people to go to the northern part of the park.  There is however no public realm strategy and movement analysis within the design and access statement;

 

·  The public open spaces around the west entrance of the venue should become a movement node, connecting the riverside space and providing various activities to attract people to the northern portion of the site;

 

·  East-west linkages around the Velodrome in Legacy Mode are not clearly  ...  view the full decision text for item 11.

Minutes:

  Observations to the Olympic Development Authority (ODA) regarding:

 

§  Planning permission for Velodrome and BMX venue and associated works;

§  Outline planning permission for temporary BMX spectator stand and starting gate;

§  Legacy transformation mode for Velodrome and BMX venue and venue for cycling with associated works.

 

11.1  The Planning Officer introduced the report, as set out in the agenda.  He referred to the addendum which detailed further comments received from Streetscene concerning car parking and pedestrian and cycle routes.

 

11.2  Councillor Buitekant referred to the addendum and proposed the following changes to the wording of the recommendation:-

 

§  First bullet point – …… In doing so there will be compromise and detriment to the amenity value of the parkland on the west side of the Lea by restricting access to both the river’s edge and adjacent parts of the parkland.

§  Second bullet point – The LBH objects to the Legacy location of the BMX track as it would further occupy parts of the west bank of the River Lea and effectively sterilise aneven greater area of parkland and restrict movement between both west and east, as well as north and south.  This was AGREED.

C)  That the above recommendation be subject to the applicant, the landowners and their mortgagees entering into a deed of planning obligation by means of a Section 206 Agreement of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended), in order to secure the following matters to the satisfaction of the Assistant Director of Planning and Regeneration and the Interim Corporate Director of Legal and Democratic Services

 

 

Minutes:

Redevelopment of site to comprise the erection of a part six, part seven storey building containing a 290-room hotel (including restaurant, bar and conference space), with a car park for thirteen vehicles and theatre workshop space (use class D1) on the lower ground floor.

 

NB: Increase in size of theatre workshop space from 188 square metres to 211 square metres; increase in height of theatre workshop space to five metres; reduction in number of car parking spaces from thirty-six to thirteen; increase in number of cycle parking spaces from twenty to fifty six.

 

12.1  The Planning Officer introduced the report, as set out in the agenda.

 

12.2  Anja Beinroth spoke in objection to the scheme, her comments are summarised as follows:

 

§  Representing a number of residents from the Georgian Terrace opposite the site.

§  In accordance with English Heritage, the height of the development should be no more than four storeys.

§  The previous application was deemed too high.

§  The proposed development would completely overshadow the Georgian Terrace.

§  Felt that the Planning Officer had not identified the loss of sunlight to the properties along Kingsland Road.

§  This section of the conservation area was predominantly residential and very few commercial properties. 

§  Felt there was not a need for a hotel in the area.

§  Lack of response from Thames Water, as the properties surrounding the site had suffered from flooding previously.

 

12.3  Mandip Sahota (Nicholas Taylor & Associates) was in attendance to answer any questions that arose.

 

12.4  Councillor Sharer raised concern over the height of the building and the Planning Officer stated that the Urban Design and Conservation Team had looked at the application and also referred Members’ attention to page 200 of the report which stated that the height of the proposed building was considered sensitive to adjacent buildings and well articulated.

 

12.5  Councillor Desmond referred to the level of parking being provided and asked the agent whether he felt the reduced number of parking spaces would lead to congestion in the area.

 

12.6  The agent stated that they had consulted with TfL in order to find more sustainable forms of transport.  This had resulted in more cycle spaces and a coach drop of point being incorporated into the proposal.

 

12.7  Councillor Webb made reference to the Quicksilver Theatre and asked whether they were aware that this application was going to committee, as she was unsure why they were not in attendance.

 

12.8  The Planning Officer confirmed that the Quicksilver Theatre had been sent notification of the application and the Sub-Committee and that a number of amendments had now been made to the proposal including a disabled access being provided, and the internal ceiling height as requested.

 

12.9  In response to a query about why the colour red had been chosen, the agent stated that this had been chosen to mirror the red brick of the Metropolitan Business Centre.

 

12.10  The Chair also asked whether the Kingsland Conservation Area Advisory Committee had been consulted  ...  view the full minutes text for item 12.
