Agenda and minutes

To note any changes to the membership.

1.1       Councillor Richard Beddoe replaced Councillor Tim Mitchell.

To receive declarations by members and officers of the existence and nature of any personal or prejudicial interests in matters on this agenda.

2.1      Councillor Davis declared that any Members of the Majority Party who had or would make representations on the applications on the agenda were his friends.  He also advised that in his capacity as Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Planning it was inevitable and part of his role that he gets to know, meet and talk to leading members of the planning and property industry including landowners and developers and their professional teams such as architects, surveyors, planning consultants, lawyers and public affairs advisers as well as residents, residents associations and amenity groups.  It was his practice to make such declarations.  He stated that it did not mean that they were his personal friends or that he had a pecuniary interest but that he had worked with them in his capacity as Cabinet Member for Planning.

2.2      Councillor Davis also explained that all four Members of the Committee were provided a week before the meeting with a full set of papers including a detailed officer’s report on each application together with bundles of every single letter or e-mail received in respect of every application including all letters and e-mails containing objections or giving support. Members of the Committee read through everything in detail prior to the meeting. Accordingly, if an issue or comment made by a correspondent was not specifically mentioned at the meeting in the officers presentation or by Members of the Committee, because of the need to get through a long agenda, it does not mean that Members have ignored the issue as they will have read about it and comments made by correspondents in the papers read prior to the meeting.

2.3      Councillor Davis also declared that in his capacity as the Cabinet Member for the Built Environment with specific responsibility for planning he regularly meets with developers as part of the City Council’s pre-application engagement with applicants.  This was wholly in accordance with normal protocols and the terms set out in the Localism Act 2011 and as amplified in the Communities and Local Government Act Guidance document “A Plain English Guide to the Localism Act”. Councillor Davis added that the meetings held with applicants and in some case objectors too are without prejudice and all parties are advised that a final formal decision is only taken when all the facts are before him and his Committee through the normal planning application process.

2.4      Councillor Davis wished to declare that in his capacity as Cabinet Member he knows a number of the directors of planning consultancy companies in Westminster.  The planning consultancy companies were representing the applicants on a number of items on the current agenda, including Belgrave, Four Communications, DP9, JLL, Turleys, Gerald Eve and Savills.

2.5       Councillor Davis made the following further declarations as they related to the specific applications on the agenda:

            Item 1:  He had held meetings with the applicants, he knows the directors of DP9 and also a number of objectors in respect of the application and their representatives.  ...  view the full minutes text for item 2.

To sign the minutes of the last meeting as a correct record of proceedings.

3.1       The minutes of the meeting held on 17 November 2015 were approved and signed by the Chairman as a true and correct record.

Late representations were received from Councillor Louise Hyams (08.12.15), Fergus Coleman (Head of Affordable & Private Sector Housing – 08.12.15) and Gerald Eve LLP (08.12.15).

The Presenting Officer referred to an additional paragraph to the committee report at the meeting, which is set out as follows:

‘In considering these proposals the City Council has a duty to take in account Section 66 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, to have special regard to the preservation of the setting of listed buildings.  This is supported by national policy in the NPPF that requires that ‘great weight’ be given to the preservation of listed buildings, including their setting.  Where harm is found to be caused by a development proposal affecting the setting of a listed building, planning permission should only be approved if that development’s public benefits would significantly and demonstrably outweigh that harm.

Similarly, Section 72 of the Act requires that for development proposals within conservation areas, special attention be paid to the preservation or enhancement of the character or appearance of that conservation area.  This requirement does not extend to development affecting the setting of a conservation area, although as with listed buildings, the NPPF requires that ‘great weight’ be given to the preservation of conservation areas, including their setting.

The officer report advises that there is some harm caused to the setting of a number of listed buildings.  This therefore triggers Section 66.  Section 72 is not triggered as the site is not within a conservation area.

The officer report advises that, whilst some elements of the proposals would cause harm to the setting of a number of adjacent and nearby listed buildings, this is adequately countered by the social, economic and environmental benefits of the proposals.’

RESOLVED:

1.            That conditional permission be granted subject to the views of the Mayor and the completion of a S106 legal agreement to secure:

a)    11 affordable/intermediate rented housing units;

b)    A financial contribution of £89,000 towards the Council’s affordable housing fund;

c)    The Council's Code of Construction Practice and a financial contribution of £42,000 per annum during demolition and construction to fund the Environmental Inspectorate and monitoring by Environmental Sciences officers;

d)    Car club membership for each residential flat for 25 years;

e)    Car Parking Management Plan to include measures to ensure that no space is individually sold or allocated specifically to a unit or user and car  ...  view the full minutes text for item 3.

Construction of mansard roof extension at fourth floor level and use of first, second, third and new fourth floor to provide 23 intermediate affordable housing units (Class C3). Use of the ground and basement floors for retail (Class A1/A3) including replacement shopfronts. External works to the front, rear and side elevations and other associated works.

An additional representation was received from Environmental Health (03.12.15).

A late representation was received from The Goring Hotel (07.12.15).

iii)           Residents of the development to agree not to object to the proximity of the trees between the garden and the development;

iv)           The applicant to comply with the Council's Code of Construction Practice, provide a Site Environmental Management Plan prior to commencement of development and provide a financial contribution of up to £35,000 per annum during demolition and construction to fund the Environmental Inspectorate and monitoring by Environmental Sciences officers;

v)            All residents to be entitled to free membership of a car club scheme.  Developer to undertake to pay annual access charge for 25 years from first occupation;

vi)           The provision of 23 residential units for intermediate rent to be managed by a registered provider to be agreed with the City Council. The rents charged on all the intermediate units to be linked to the median household incomes of those registered for intermediate housing opportunities in Westminster.

2.         If the S106 legal agreement has not been completed within three months of the date of the Sub-Committee resolution, then:

a)        The Director of Planning shall consider whether the permission can be issued with additional conditions attached to secure the benefits listed above.  If this is possible and appropriate, the Director of Planning is authorised to determine and issue such a decision under Delegated Powers; however, if not;

b)        The Director of Planning shall consider whether permission should be refused on the grounds that it has not proved possible to complete an agreement within an appropriate timescale, and that the proposals are unacceptable in the absence of the benefits that would have been secured; if so, the Director of Planning is authorised to determine the application and agree appropriate reasons for refusal under Delegated Powers.

Demolition of all existing buildings and comprehensive redevelopment to provide a mixed use development accommodated in a single building arranged around a central courtyard of lower ground, ground, eight upper floors, rooftop plant and basements.

The Presenting Officer also referred to an amended condition 22 of the draft decision letter, which is set out as follows:

‘You must apply to us for approval details of the following:
