No.Condition Text
1.The proposed development would by reason of its height, bulk and mass result in a cramped, excessively dense over-development of the site detrimental to future occupiers and the local area as a result of lack of amenity space and car parking. The proposed development would furthermore be unacceptably dominant and visually intrusive in the streetscene, harmful to the appearance and character of the surrounding area, contrary to policies DC2, DC3, DC32, DC33 and DC61 of the Development Control Policies DPD and policies 3.5, 7.4 and 7.6 of the London Plan. It is not considered that the benefits of additional housing outweighs such concerns in this instance.
2.The proposed development would by reason of the site layout and close proximity to the adjacent Secondary Employment Area, in context of the 24 hour nature of the adjacent use, result in unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers of the development as a result of high levels of pollution and noise. Accordingly, the development is considered to be contrary to the principles of policies DC3, DC55 and DC61 of the Development Control Policies DPD and policies 3.5, 7.14 and 7.15 of the London Plan.
3.In the absence of a legal agreement to secure affordable housing and a financial contribution towards the demand for school places arising from the development, the proposal fails to comply with the principle of policies DC6, DC29 and DC72 of the Development Control Policies DPD and policies 3.11, 3.13 and 8.2 of the London Plan and/or satisfactorily mitigate the infrastructure impact of the development contrary to the provisions of policies DC29 and DC72 of the Development Control Policies DPD and policy 8.2 of the London Plan.
4.Statement Required by Article 35 (2) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015: During consideration by the committee, members placed different weight on the planning merits and decided to refuse planning permission.
