Minutes:

The Committee noted the following amendments to the reports:

 

Page 111, first bullet point, add to end “subject to reduction equivalent to amount(s) previously paid in accordance with existing legal agreement should the reserved matters under planning application P1887.15 be implemented”

Page 111, fourth bullet point, add to beginning “Subject to confirmation from TfL that this was required,”

Pages 115, 122 and 130, Condition 14. Additional information had been received with regard to details of security measures. It was recommended that authority be delegated to the Head of Regulatory Services to agree the final wording of this condition in consultation with the Metropolitan Police Designing Out Crime Officer.

Pages 116, 123 and 131, Condition 17, replace “No development should take place” with “No part of the development should be occupied or used”

Page 116, Condition 18, Page 124, Condition 19, Page 132, Condition 18. An additional noise report had been submitted which demonstrated that construction noise would not result in adverse impact during extended hours requested by the applicant, Therefore recommended change hours to 7am to 7pm Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm Saturdays and 8am to 2pm Sundays

 

The Committee considered the reports and without debate RESOLVED that the proposals were unacceptable as they stood but would be acceptable subject to the applicant entering, in relation to the three applications, into a legal agreement under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to secure the following:

 

  • A £200,000 financial contribution towards Beam Park Station;

 

  • A £20,000 financial contribution towards local environment improvements;

 

  • A review of on-site parking provision, within 12 months of occupation of each plot, together with amended site plans to account for any identified over-provision;

 

  • A review of the signalling arrangements at the junction on Marsh Way;

 

  • Reservation of the access point/strip of land from Consul Avenue to Manor Way for future public access and a restriction on future development proposals blocking this land; and

 

  • A local employment, skills and supply-chain opportunities framework or a commuted sum, agreed with the Local Planning Authority, to provide alternative local employment initiatives if the applicant was unable to provide an appropriate level of opportunities on-site.

 

  • All contribution sums should include interest to the due date of expenditure and all contribution sums should be subject to indexation from the date of completion of the Section 106 agreement to the date of receipt by the Council.

 

  • The Developer/Owner to pay the Council’s reasonable legal costs associated with the legal agreement, prior to the completion of the agreement, irrespective of whether the agreement was completed; and

 

  • Payment of the appropriate planning obligations monitoring fee prior to the completion of the agreement.

 

Subject to no direction to the contrary from the Mayor for London (under the Town and Country Planning (Mayor of London) Order 2008) it was therefore recommended that the Head of Regulatory Services be authorised to enter into a legal agreement to secure the above and upon completion of that agreement grant planning permissions subject to the conditions as set out in the report.
