Agenda item

Proposal: Demolition of all buildings and structures and the construction of a building for flexible Class B2 general industrial, B8 storage and distribution, and E(g)(iii) light industrial uses with ancillary office, associated service yard, access point, car parking, and landscape planting.

Sarah Madondo, Principal Planning Officer, introduced the item for demolition of all buildings and structures and the construction of a building for flexible Class B2 general industrial, B8 storage and distribution, and E(g)(iii) light industrial uses with ancillary office, associated service yard, access point, car parking, and landscape planting.

The following was noted in response to questions from the committee:

• Two trees were being retained, and the section 106 would allow for 6 more trees. This is considered to bean  acceptable improvement.
• This proposal would include servicing and parking on site, taking stress off the highway, which would not interfere with Spurs event day parking
•  The exact brick to be used in the development would be decided on in the future, as the building industry is currently finding that bricks are not consistently available. The brick to be used would be secured by condition and agreed by Officers in advance of building works.
• With upskilling, the employees that they would expect on site were a mix of logistic experts and office workers. The employment initiatives that officers were securing in the section 106 was helping towards training and was also securing a portion of jobs to be for residents.
• The stage one and two road safety audits were carried out as part of the detailed design. All lorries would be able to turn within the site and enter and leave in forward gear; and visibility at the entrance and pedestrian safety have been prioritised. 
• There i is a standard condition recommended securing submission of samples and details of timber materials. Officers would make sure that the timber cladding detailing specification is robust and that it would age/weather well.
• The café currently on site does not have planning permission, the developer has not incorporated that as part of this development, but this could relocate in the area.
• In terms of the 22 car parking spaces, the proposal had been assessed in line with the London plan requirements, and it fulfils those requirements. Officers noted the issue about parking pressures and had secured a financial contribution towards reviewing parking management measures in the area which could lead to a CPZ.
• A contribution was secured from the applicant towards delivering enhanced highways conditions, which would uplift this area.
• The committee thanked the applicants for their strong response to the points raised in the QRP report.

The Chair asked Catherine Smyth, Head of Development Management and Enforcement Planning to sum up the recommendation as set out in the report. The Chair moved that the recommendation be approved following a unanimous decision.
