excessive in terms of the planning guidance of 150m. There has been a lack of consultation on the proposed development. Overcrowding of the local area. Is there going to be a contribution towards Vauxhall Park by CLS Holdings due to the increase of users to the local area. Likelihood of increased antisocial behaviour. Lack of affordable housing as part of the development. support of an emerging tall buildings cluster at Vauxhall within the Central Activities Zone. The proposed two towers would be 168m in height. Regard has been given to the potential impact the development would have to the local area together with strategic views. Officers have assessed the development against other schemes which have been approved in the local area such as market towers (199m) and the St George Wharf Tower (180m). The proposed development would be below these heights and would have less of an impact in the local area and strategic views. Furthermore, given this officers consider that although the height of the towers would exceed the guidance, the potential impact would be limited and as such not objection is raised. The applicant has undertaken extensive consultation in relation to the proposed application. Furthermore, Lambeth Planning have carried out further extensive consultation on the proposed development when the application was initially submitted and amended through sending out letters, posting site notice and advertising the application in the local press. In this instance no objection is raised. The applicant would be contributing as part of the DIFS tariff for the local area and in this instance a contribution would be secured for Vauxhall Park. The application has been through extensive preapplication discussions with the Lambeth Crime Prevention team and officers consider that sufficient measures have been outlined to mitigate against antisocial behaviour from occurring. Furthermore, conditions would be imposed to mitigate against this. The proposed development would provide a minimum amount of 20% affordable housing which would be in the form of affordable rent and shared ownership. Given the added benefits the proposed development brings, this would be the most viable percentage of affordable housing the development could bring on a site which has so many constraints in delivering a scheme of this nature. A review mechanism of the affordable housing has been secured as part of the development.

Given that the development site is an opportunity area, the proposed development is considered to be acceptable in the current form.

However, these elements have been assessed by both Lambeth Transport and TfL, raising no objection to the development. The proposed development would provide socioeconomic benefits through the introduction of the uses as part of the development. The scheme would provide significant uplift in uses which would benefit the local Vauxhall area together with the VNEB area. Furthermore, given that the area is a opportunity area, highlighted in the VNEB OAPF, officers fully support the development as the scheme would improve the current offices and industry in the area. Given that the development site is an opportunity area, the proposed development is considered to be acceptable in the current form. Officers have assessed the setting of the adjoining listed buildings on Wandsworth Road and it is considered that the development would be significantly changed by this redevelopment. This is inevitable given that Vauxhall is identified as suitable for tall buildings. The new development would be in stark contrast to the listed buildings but officers do not consider the impact to be harmful. The introduction of the ‘book end’ building means that the listed terrace would read much more as part of the scheme as a whole. The applicant has assessed the scheme within the townscape view impact assessment for the development and in the rounds the development would have a low impact of the setting of conservation area and therefore there is no adverse impact.
