on the application, which would limit such impact to<br />

adjoining neighbours. <strong>Lambeth</strong> Noise and Pollution<br />

team have assessed the submitted information and<br />

raise no objection to the methodology being proposed.<br />

The noise levels associated<br />

with the development would<br />

cause disturbance to<br />

residents of the listed terrace<br />

The proposed development<br />

appears visually dull – the<br />

towers at <strong>Vauxhall</strong> <strong>Square</strong><br />

North and South in particular.<br />

Uniform square blocks from<br />

bottom to top, poor colour<br />

palette and nothing to attract<br />

the eye.<br />

The current development is<br />

just Basingstoke. The design<br />

is dull and boring<br />

The area needs a good<br />

secondary school and a<br />

community hub.<br />

Multiplexes don’t have the<br />

same appeal, more facilities<br />

for a covered market – NOT<br />

another Paternoster <strong>Square</strong><br />

– more shops, more trees,<br />

more streams and fountains<br />

for children to paddle in.<br />

The area is already noisy, the<br />

proposed development would<br />

worsen the current situation.<br />

Conditions have been imposed to limit the proposed<br />

impact the demolition and construction stage would<br />

have on the adjoining terrace buildings.<br />

The application has been subject to extensive preapplication<br />

discussions and as officers its is considered<br />

that the application being proposed would be an<br />

acceptable form of development in terms of its overall<br />

massing, bulk and design. Furthermore, the proposed<br />

scheme would improve the visual interest of the area<br />

together with the VNEB area as a whole. In this<br />

instance no objection is raised.<br />

The application would be securing Section 106<br />

contributions as part of the development and as such<br />

these monies would be used to improve or provide<br />

further primary and secondary educational places<br />

within the local area. In this instance the development<br />

would mitigate against this.<br />

The proposed scheme would be a mixed used<br />

development and the extent of development and uses<br />

which could be achieved are limited. However, officers<br />

consider that the uses being provided as part of the<br />

development would improve the overall basis as the<br />

<strong>Vauxhall</strong> <strong>Square</strong> being the ‘heart’ of a shopping retail<br />

town. Furthermore, the development would be<br />

providing extensive community facilities as part of the<br />

development. In this instance no objection is raised.<br />

The development site forms part of an opportunity area<br />

within the VNEB area, which allows high-density<br />

development to be provided on such sites. Although<br />

there would be an increase in use in the local area, it is<br />

envisaged that these uses would not worsen the<br />

current situation and given that the site is an
