The proposed location of the hostel accommodation as<br />
outlined within the application would be an improvement<br />
to the current environment the building is currently<br />
located in. Officer fully support and endorse the new<br />
location of the hostel and as such no objection is raised.<br />
Given that the development site is an opportunity area,<br />
the proposed development is considered to be<br />
acceptable in the current form.<br />
Officers acknowledge that there would be an increase in<br />
traffic generation as part of the development. However,<br />
these elements have been assessed by both <strong>Lambeth</strong><br />
Transport and TfL, raising no objection to the<br />
development.<br />
The proposed development would provide socioeconomic<br />
benefits through the introduction of the uses<br />
as part of the development. The scheme would provide<br />
significant uplift in uses which would benefit the local<br />
<strong>Vauxhall</strong> area together with the VNEB area.<br />
Furthermore, given that the area is a opportunity area,<br />
highlighted in the VNEB OAPF, officers fully support<br />
the development as the scheme would improve the<br />
current offices and industry in the area.<br />
Given that the development site is an opportunity area,<br />
the proposed development is considered to be<br />
acceptable in the current form.<br />
Officers have assessed the setting of the adjoining<br />
listed buildings on Wandsworth Road and it is<br />
considered that the development would be significantly<br />
changed by this redevelopment. This is inevitable given<br />
that <strong>Vauxhall</strong> is identified as suitable for tall buildings.<br />
The new development would be in stark contrast to the<br />
listed buildings but officers do not consider the impact to<br />
be harmful. The introduction of the ‘book end’ building<br />
means that the listed terrace would read much more as<br />
part of the scheme as a whole. The applicant has<br />
assessed the scheme within the townscape view impact<br />
assessment for the development and in the rounds the<br />
development would have a low impact of the setting of<br />
conservation area and therefore there is no adverse<br />
impact. In this instance the proposed scheme would<br />
comply with policy 47 of the Saved Unitary<br />
Development and policy S9 of the Core Strategy.<br />
The proposed development would provide a significant<br />
uplift in jobs as part of the office accommodation. The<br />
application would also create extensive amount of retail
