7.37 Officers consider that both the hotel and suite-hotels to be acceptable in land use grounds. In order to ensure that the suite hotel is not being used as a permanent residence, the Section 106 Agreement will ensure that occupation of individual suites do not exceed 90 days or less. This will also prevent the suite hotel from being converted to residential use without the granting of a separate planning permission by the Council. A condition has been imposed requesting that 10% of the hotel use is accessible by wheelchair uses and that a accessibility management is plan is submitted. 7.38 Student Accommodation 7.39 Core Strategy Policy S2 (f) provide strategic support for specific types of accommodation such as student, hostel and other forms of specialist housing. 7.40 The application proposes 359 rooms in total. There are no room size or amenity space standards currently in place for student accommodation. The typical bedroom sizes for this development would be 18.26sqm of net internal area (including a built in storage cupboard and en-suite bathroom). The larger premium rooms would be 21.84sqm and the fully accessible bedroom suites would measure 34.86sqm. In addition to communal lounges and kitchens included in each of the cluster arrangements, the building would also provide larger communal areas such as shared IT and study suites, large open lounges and game rooms and fully accessible external terraces. 7.41 There are no policy requirements or guidelines for the provision of amenity space for student accommodation. However, the overall scheme would provide extensive public realm, which would create suitable spaces for local students to enjoy outdoor space. 7.42 London Plan Policy 3.8 states that planning decisions should ensure that strategic and local requirements for student housing meeting a demonstrable need are addressed, without compromising capacity for conventional homes. Paragraph 3.53 adds that student accommodation should be secured by planning agreement or condition relating to the use of land or its occupation by members of specified educational institutions. If accommodation is not robustly secured for students, it will normally be subject to the requirements for affordable housing policy. 7.43 The proposed student rooms are supported in principle on the basis that this is an appropriate location for student accommodation, identified in the Core Strategy Policy PN2 and with excellent public transport accessibility. The student accommodation is proposed as part of a mixed use scheme that would also provide a considerable net increase in conventional housing supply. 7.44 The Section 106 would include a clause securing the use in perpetuity meeting a key planning policy requirement, which removes the requirement for an affordable housing provision under the requirements of the London Plan Policy. 7.45 Community Uses/ Cinema:
London Plan policy 4.6 supports the enhancement of arts, culture, sport and entertainment provision with the aim of indentifying, managing and co-ordinating strategic and more local clusters of evening and night time entertainment activities to: • Address need; • Provide public transport, policing; • Environmental services and • Seek to enhance the economic contribution and community role of arts, cultural, professional sporting and entertainment facilities. 7.46 Policy 26 of the Saved Unitary Development Plan states that the provision of community facilities would be supported and promoted, including in location with good access to public transport accessibility. 7.47 The application proposes a new cinema which would be accessible and affordable to the general public. The applicant has stated that the proposed cinema would be operated similar to the Brixton Ritzy rather than a mainstream multiplex branded cinema. Furthermore, they state that the cinema would provide an important contribution to the overall mix of uses in the scheme, helping to support the night time economy and restaurant and retail uses, as well as making significant contribution to the creation of the new District Centre. 7.48 The applicant has stated within the planning statement that the cinema would not be operated by a ‘major’ multiplex operator. However discussions are currently underway with a number of prospect operators. Officers welcome the provision of the cinema within the current location as this would provide a facility which would benefit the wider Vauxhall area. In this instance no objection is raised. 7.49 The scheme proposes community uses within the development. Within each of the proposed new residential towers a double-height space occupying one whole floor would be provided to residents. The applicant has stated that these areas could be used a mix facilities such as residents club, soft play area, games room and community event/ meeting spaces depending on the requirement of residents. Further community space would be provided along Miles Street adjacent to the proposed pavilion. 7.50 Amenity and Playspace 7.51 The applicant has submitted an Amenity and Play Space Strategy which has been prepared by GL Hearn on behalf of Vauxhall Square limited. 7.52 Policy S5 (Open Space) states that the Council will meet requirements for open space by: (a) Protecting and maintaining existing open spaces and their function. (b) Increase in the quantity of open space which will be sought, where possible, through major development sites and other opportunities. (c) Improving quality of and access to existing open space, where appropriate in major development sites and other opportunities.
