RECOMMENDATION:grant permission subject to conditions and subject to s106 Legal Agreement

 

Minutes:

The Committee considered two reports for two separate schemes (1) 45-63 Lawrence Road and (2) 67 Lawrence Road on two separate but adjoining sites. The reports sought planning permission for (1) the demolition of the existing buildings and redevelopment of the site to provide a building ranging from 4 to 7 storeys in height which includes a recessed top floor comprising 80 residential units (use class C3) and 566sqm of commercial floor space (Use class B1/A2) on ground and first floor level, including 8 disabled parking spaces, 1 car club space including associated works and (2) the demolition of the existing buildings and redevelopment of the site to provide a 7 storey building fronting Lawrence Road which includes a recessed top floor and four storey mews block to the rear, comprising 69 residential units (use class C3) and seven live work units on ground and first floor level, including 7 disabled parking spaces and associated works. The reports set out details of the proposal, the site and surroundings, planning history, relevant planning policy, consultation and responses, analysis, equalities and human rights implications and both recommended to grant permission subject to conditions and subject to s106 Legal Agreements.

 

The planning officer gave a short presentation highlighting the key aspects of the report. The attention of the Committee was drawn to a tabled addendum setting out amendments to s106 heads of terms and a correction to the paragraph of the report concerning density for 45-63 Lawrence Road which was 818 habitable rooms per hectare.

 

A number of objectors addressed the Committee and raised the following points:

·         Both schemes constituted overdevelopment, with high densities due to site cramming in order to maximise profitability for the developer. The justification for exceeding London Plan standards had not been outlined, with the report seeming to focus on unsubstantiated claims and opinions. The density was significantly greater than the nearby Bellway development.

·         The woodland area between 25-35 Bedford Road would be destroyed, with no ecological impact assessment or bat survey undertaken, leading to the potential for protected species to be unlawfully removed. The loss of mature trees would result in the destruction of wildlife habitats and have a negative impact on air quality.

·         The schemes did not comply with the Lawrence Road planning brief. 

·         The height and massing to the northern end would result in overshadowing to the public realm.

·         The 7 storey height would detract from other buildings in the area

·         Low levels of affordable housing would be provided

·         The density towards the western edge near Bedford Road was high which would impact on local residents in addition to the disruption from the live-work units.

·         Separation distances were insufficient, being only 10m to the closest rear gardens and 30m to the nearest neighbouring houses.

·         The demand for employment space in the area was questioned, with similar units on the nearby Bellway scheme remaining empty. 

 

Cllrs Diakides and Vanier addressed the Committee as local ward councillors and raised the following points:

·         The schemes went against the Lawrence Road planning brief and thereby the will of local people

·         The massing was out of character with the area and the frontage onto Lawrence Road was domineering

·         Local public spaces in the area would be degraded including a loss of light caused to Elizabeth Place Park

·         The schemes provided little affordable and no social housing

·         The schemes breached planning policy in terms of overlooking, overdevelopment and lacking sufficient community benefits

·         The plans should be renegotiated with the applicant

·         Past guarantees had been provided on the protection of the woodland area as an important ecological corridor and which was now being ignored.

 

The Committee raised the following issues in discussion of the representations:

·         Assurances were sought over the level of affordable housing proposed, which was considerably lower than the Council’s 40% target. Officers advised that the viability assessment had been independently assessed leading to an increase in units proposed and that the level reflected sales values in the area and increased construction costs. The Council’s 40% affordable housing target was on a borough as opposed to site basis.

·         Clarification was sought on children’s play space to be provided on site. Officers advised that child play space for 0-5 year olds would be provided to the southern end of no. 67 Lawrence Road in compliance with the London Plan. Additionally, the applicant would provide a financial contribution towards the upgrade of the playground and redesign of street furniture to the adjacent park.

·         Assurances were sought over the live/work units in that similar units remained unoccupied in the nearby Bellway scheme and also over the lack of parking provision. Officers advised that these concerns had been raised at an early stage with the applicant, who had subsequently undertaken further detailed work in this area and identified that a specialist provider would be used to lease out the units. Future occupants of these units would be able to apply for on street car parking as business users.

·         Clarification was sought from officers on the justification for both schemes to exceed the London Plan density matrix. Officers advised that the higher levels reflected to a degree the netting off of the commercial space in the mixed scheme. The higher density levels were considered acceptable due to factors such as the high public transport accessibility of both sites, high quality design and the location with the emerging Tottenham Area Action Plan (AAP).

·         In response to questions regarding the affordable housing units, it was advised that the units would be pepper potted via block throughout the sites and would be predominantly 1 and 2 bed units to ensure they remained affordable.    

 

Representatives for the applicant addressed the Committee and raised the following points:

·         The schemes would provide new housing including a 19% affordable housing contribution across the two sites as well as in demand family housing.

·         Car parking provision would solely be for disabled access thereby allowing increased landscaping and tree planting, with a net increase of 12 trees across the sites.

·         New commercial floorspace would be generated which would be retained and managed by the developer, with part used as a headquarters.

·         Improvements would be made to Elizabeth Place Park and the open ground to the north at the lead of a steering group.

·         The QRP was in support of the schemes.

·         Internal balconies were proposed to reduce overlooking.

·         The footprint of the woodland area would be retained as an open landscaped area with significant trees retained and secured under condition.

 

The Committee raised the following points in discussion of the representations received:

·         The degree of overshadowing to Elizabeth Place Park. In response it was advised that proposals met BRE guidance in this regard, with at least half of the site maintaining a minimum 2 hours sunshine on the March equinox. Additionally, this standard was very likely to be exceeded with the pulling back of the building line.

·         The security of the bridge link between the two schemes was questioned. The applicant advised that this would constitute a 2 storey gap in the building line and would be fully lit to encourage use and would benefit from natural surveillance.

·         Further details were sought on proposals for the use of grey bricks in the scheme, an outlier when compared to the rest of Lawrence Road. It was explained in response that this would support the transition between buff and red brick down the length of Lawrence Road and to provide cohesion between the two schemes. The bricks would be of high quality and the QRP were supportive of proposals.

·         In response to a question regarding the marketability of the live/work units, the applicant advised that issues often arose related to mortgageability but that in this instance, the units would be retained and managed by the developer.

INFORMATIVE: The London Fire Brigade strongly recommends that sprinklers are considered for new developments and major alterations to existing premises, particularly where the proposals relate to schools and care homes. Sprinkler systems installed in buildings can significantly reduce the damage caused by fire and the consequential cost to businesses and housing providers, and can reduce the risk to life. The Brigade opinion is that there are opportunities for developers and building owners to install sprinkler systems in order to save money, save property and protect the lives of occupier.  . 

 

INFORMATIVE :With regards to surface water drainage, it is the responsibility of a developer to make proper provision for drainage to ground, water course, or a suitable sewer.  In respect of surface water, it is recommended that the applicant should ensure that storm flows are attenuated or regulated into the receiving public network through on or off site storage.  When it is proposed to connect to a combined public sewer, the site drainage should be separate and combined at the final manhole nearest the boundary.  Connections are not permitted for the removal of groundwater.  Where the developer proposes to discharge to a public sewer, prior approval from Thames Water Developer Services will be required.  They can be contacted on 0845 850 2777.

 

INFORMATIVE: Thames Water will aim to provide customers with a minum pressure of 10m head (approx. 1 bar) and a flow rate of 9 litres/minute at the point where it leaves Thames Waters pipes.  The developer should take account of this minimum pressure in the design of the proposed development.

 

INFORMATIVE: Prior to demolition or refurbishment of existing buildings, an asbestos survey should be carried out to identify the location and type of asbestos containing materials. Any asbestos containing materials must be removed and disposed of in accordance with the correct procedure prior to any demolition or construction works carried out

 

INFORMATIVE: A bulk waste store should be considered when residents are throwing out items of furniture. How is it going to be managed, also due to the nature of the weight and size unlike residual waste locations for collections. Bulk waste vehicles must be able to collect from the location the bulk waste is store for health & safety reasons.

 

INFORMATIVE; A Groundwater Risk Management Permit from Thames Water will be required for discharging groundwater into a public sewer. Any discharge made without a permit is deemed illegal and may result in prosecution under the provisions of the Water Industry Act 1991. We would expect the developer to demonstrate what measures he will undertake to minimise groundwater discharges into the public sewer. Permit enquiries should be directed to Thames Water’s Risk Management Team by telephoning 02035779483 or by emailing wwqriskmanagement@thameswater.co.uk. Application forms should be completed on line via www.thameswater.co.uk/wastewaterquality.’

 

INFORMATIVE;Thames Water would recommend that petrol / oil interceptors be fitted in all car parking/washing/repair facilities. Failure to enforce the effective use of petrol / oil interceptors could result in oil-polluted discharges entering local watercourses.

 

INFORMATIVE:        No infiltration based sustainable drainage systems should be constructed on land affected by contamination as contaminants can remobilise and cause groundwater pollution. Piling or any other foundation designs using penetrative methods should not cause preferential pathways for contaminants to migrate to groundwater and cause pollution.

 

INFORMATIVE: A separate application will be required for either the installation of a new shopfront or the display of any illuminated signs.
