hostel provider have confirmed that this facility is required to be provided within this location. Furthermore, officers support the re-provision of the hostel on the site. 7.27 The applicant have liaised with officers, undertaken extensive advice in the relationship the proposed hostel and potential impact it may have upon the affordable housing block. The proposed ground floor layout of the hostel being proposed would improve surveillance of the hostel entrance whilst maintaining separation between the two uses. In summary, the hostel entrance has been relocated to the southern end of the building, and with Thames Reach’s input, the ground floor layout has been re-worked to move the residential entrance to the north west corner on Wandsworth Road to provide clear separation between the two uses. The hostel is entered on the south west corner under cover of the 6m high building overhang, with 24 hour manned front of house office spaces providing clear observation and management of the entrance area. Hostel residents then have access through to a shared lounge area in the centre of the plan, with access to a walled outside garden space. A further back office and medical room provide treatment facilities/close observation of any incoming vulnerable new residents. Lift and staircase access is provided to the upper levels from the lounge 7.28 The residential entrance has a front door in the top left corner of the building from Wandsworth Road. This provides a clear and transparent street address and entrance lobby for the building for visitors/deliveries as well as residents. The lane to the north of the building would now become a gated landscaped residents passage/garden area providing contained access to disabled parking, bicycles and bins for the residents and a further door directly into the residential lobby. It is now envisaged that this area would be gated at all times and for the benefit of the residents. This approach is supported by officers. 7.29 The proposals also show 'New Lane' as being managed through the use of gates at the Miles Street and Wandsworth Road ends but, as the area becomes regenerated, it is the intention that it would be possible to open this route during the day time for cyclists and pedestrians linking and extending Bondway through to Wandsworth Road along the viaduct. The applicant has also discussed the ongoing management of the hostel at length with Thames Reach, and the wider area, and it has been confirmed that the revised layout would significantly improve their ability to manage the facility and provide a better environment for rehabilitating residents. It should be noted that Thames Reach are the hostel provider and they have written to the applicant on the 8 th December fully supporting the scheme and the ongoing management of the new hostel. Officers are satisfied with this approach and conditions have been imposed to facilitate the joint working of the uses along this part of Wandsworth Road. A condition has been imposed restricting future change of uses of the premises. 7.30 Private Residential Units 7.31 The proposal provides a total of 410 private residential units which would be housed in the North and South towers of the development. The proposed mix of units are outlined in the table below:
Unit Total Percentage mix Studio 24 6% 1bed 16 4% 1person 1bed 154 37% 2person 2bed 160 39% 3bed 56 14% Total 410 100% 7.32 Following concern from the GLA in regard to the number of studio units within the development the applicant has reduced the overall number to 6%. This is considered to be acceptable. Having assessed the unit sizes of the development against the SPD for Housing Development and House Conversions, the scheme would comply with the space standards set out within this document. In relation to wheelchair accessibility the development would comply with minimum 10% provision in accordance with the Lifetime Homes Standard. A condition has been imposed to this effect. 7.33 All the rooms would receive natural ventilation. The outdoor amenity space would be provided in the form of winter gardens. The overall areas for the winter gardens would be 5sqm minimum, this is depending on the requisite size of the residential units. It should be noted that the studio flats would not have their own outdoor amenity as this is not a requirement in the London Plan standard and furthermore the communal amenity space would compensate for this. This would also satisfy the space standards for outdoor amenity space within the SPD for Housing Development and House Conversions. All the residential flats would have minimum floor to ceiling height of at least 2.3m. The applicant has submitted a daylight and sunlight report which has been independently assessed by Right to Light Consulting. The analysis of the results concluded that the results would be acceptable in terms of daylight and sunlight levels of the residential units. Overall, a high standard of residential accommodation is envisaged. 7.34 Hotel 7.35 Core Strategy Policy S3(f) supports the location of large hotels and apart-hotels in the CAZ and the London Plan Opportunity Area. London Plan Policy 4.5 requires planning decisions to ensure that 10% percent of hotel bedrooms are wheelchair accessible. 7.36 The scheme proposes a mid-range 278 bedroom hotel. At this stage in the process an end operator has not been secured for this hotel. It is anticipated that a number of operators would be targeted. Once planning permission has been obtained a hotel operator would be selected. In addition to this hotel, a further 123 room Suite Hotel would be provided within Vauxhall Square South, on floors 1-9. The suite hotel would provide more up-market accommodation for longer term visits catering for anticipated demand from the new commercial occupiers, and the American Embassy.
