Planning Applications PDF 1 MB - Meetings, agendas and minutes

3.44 A Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) has been submitted with the application. The site
is in the Environment Agency's Flood Zone 1. This indicates a low risk of flooding from
the Thames. The Environment Agency has not raised an objection to the proposal. The
impact on surface water flooding has been considered. The area of the site covered in
tarmac/concrete would be reduced by 2300m2 (around 50%), with the majority of the
hard surfaces being replaced with astroturf, to be laid on a permeable base which will
allow surface water to infiltrate. This would help control surface water run-off at the site.
The FRA states that the post development surface water discharge rates will be
maintained at pre-development levels, discharging to the Thames Water combined
sewer system. Thames Water have confirmed that they have no objection to the
proposal with regard to water infrastructure.
3.45 To ensure compliance with the Council's DM Local Plan Policy DM H3 on
controlling flood risk, and the London Plan Policies 5.12 and 5.13, a condition will be
attached requiring a sustainable urban drainage strategy to be submitted prior to the
commencement of the development (Condition 11)
Contamination
3.46 Potentially contaminative land uses (past or present) are understood to occur at,
or near to, this site. Conditions are therefore recommended to ensure that no
unacceptable risks are caused to humans, controlled waters or the wider environment
during and following the development works, in accordance with Policy CC4 of the Core
Strategy and policies DM H7 and H11 of the Development Management Local Plan
2013, and policy 5.21 of The London Plan 2011 (Conditions 24-29).
PLANNING OBLIGATIONS
Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)
3.47 Mayoral CIL came into effect in April 2012 and is a material consideration to
which regard must be had when determining this planning application. CIL Regulations
(2010) state that in dealing with planning applications, local planning authorities
consider each on its merits and reach a decision based on whether the application
accords with the relevant development plan, unless material considerations indicate
otherwise. This development will be liable for Mayoral CIL charged at £50/psqm for the
new building.
Legal Agreement
3.48 The development shall be subject to a S106 legal agreement securing the
following items:
- Funding of all works related to entrance arrangements on South Africa Road
- Submission of a Travel Plan and a contribution for monitoring of £3k
- Funding of replacement tree planting in accordance with a tree replacement plan, to
be agreed.
- Permanent provision of two football pitches and the basketball pitch for free
community use, and submission of a management plan detailing the terms of use of
the free pitches.
- Permanent public access to the pavilion during park opening hours
3.49 To ensure that successors in title to the council, which is the present owner of
the site, will be bound by the planning obligation a condition (no. 33) currently relates.
