5.24 London Underground Infrastructure Protection: No representations received. 5.25 Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE): Comments received stating the following: • We welcome the removal of Miles Street North from the scheme and the relocation of the children’s playspace to the rear of the listed terrace. However, we think the relocation of Vauxhall Square South and Vauxhall Square East alongside the increase in height of Miles Street South further compromises how functional and comfortable the Miles Street public space will be and we question to what extent this space will be used. • We welcome the enlargement of the Vauxhall Square and the desire to introduce more greenery into the landscape design. • The landscape approach for the whole scheme should facilitate a comfortable pedestrian environment to encourage people to linger and include playable space for children’s and amenity space for teenagers. • The local planning authority should be assured that the scale of the development does not compromise the environmental quality of these space by being windswept and overshadowed. • The introduction of two three-storey ‘bookend’ buildings to frame the entrance into the development off Wandsworth Road will help make this entrance noticeable gateway, assisting the aspiration to create a strong pedestrian route through the site and deliver activity into Vauxhall Square. • The ‘bookend’ buildings better integrate the listed terrace into the scheme layout. • The new pedestrian link is welcomed between Bondway and Vauxhall Square and the introduction of an office entrance off Bondway. However, we are concerned about the dominance of servicing and vehicular access along this street and think the development could contribute more to improve its character. • The re-alignment of Vauxhall Square North and Vauxhall Square South has strengthened the visual connection between the pedestrian covered passages at the base of these two buildings. • We like the elegance of the two tall buildings, their materiality and proportions and the tracery form of the elevation. 5.26 Cinema and Theatre Association: No representations received. 5.27 Design for London: No representations received. 5.28 English Heritage: Comments received raising concern that the proposals harm the setting of the Grade I Listed Royal Festival Hall, Grade II* listed Batersea Power Station, and the Grade I listed registered landscape of Trafalgar Square and as such believe that there is clear and convincing justification for this harm. On this basis the scheme cannot be supported, which has much to admire in terms of its urban design, relationship to the listed terrace and materiality of the medium-rise buildings which reference the industrial heritage of the area. The proposed development should be redesigned so they conform with the guidelines on building heights set out in the VNEBOA Planning Framework.
5.29 English Heritage – Archaeology: Comments received raising no objection, subject to a desk top archaeology assessment as part of the development. 5.30 Natural England: Comments received raising no objection to the proposed amended scheme. 5.31 Greater London Authority (GLA): Comments received requesting further clarifications in relation to the scheme, discussion are ongoing with the applicant, however, officers are generally in support of the application. 5.32 Street Management Area Manager South: No representations received. 5.33 Bus Priority and Traffic Unit: No representations received. 5.34 Network Rail: No representations received. 5.35 Development Control Department Thames Water: No representations received. 5.36 City of Westminster: Acknowledgement from the City of Westminster and have requested that officers update the Council. 5.37 London Borough of Wandsworth: Observations received 1. The Council would like to emphasise the importance of this development's strategic role within the Vauxhall/Nine Elms/Battersea Opportunity Area and the positive partnership of the Strategy Board to achieve the strategic aims. In this respect the Council would emphasise the importance of the need to seek maximum viable tariff rates relative to the affordable housing level proposed. 2. The Council would wish to see a labour clause included in any S106 Agreement to accord with the Strategy Boards proposed Employment pact. 3. The Council is keen that the visual impact of the tall buildings are fully analysed and assessed against the backdrop of approved and emerging schemes in the area. 4. The Council would like to see further consideration of the width of the W entrance to the open space, and for the public square to be contextually reviewed given the significant soft landscaping, generous spaces and openness emerging in the Linear Park to the SW, and the lack of any obvious contribution to humanising the Vauxhall Gyratory. 5.38 L.F.C.D Authority: No representations received. 5.39 Environment Agency: Comments received raising no objection subject to conditions being imposed. 5.40 Kennington Association: No representations received. 5.41 Regents Bridge Gardens Ltd: No representations received.
