development.
In order to ensure that parking is adequately controlled within the development, in
accordance with policy DM J2 of the Development Management Local Plan 2013.
Justification for Approving the Application:
1) 1. Land Use: The proposed development would achieve a sustainable
development with efficient use of brownfield land. The proposal would provide a
mix of family and non family units and contribute to much needed additional
affordable housing, in accordance with Core Strategy Policies H1 and H2, London
Plan Policies 3.3 B, 3.11, 3.12 and 3.13, and policies DM A1 and A3 of the
Development Management Local Plan 2013.
2. Housing mix: The proposed development would contribute too much
needed additional housing, and would help the borough meet its housing targets,
in accordance with London Plan Policies 3.3 and 3.4. The proposed tenure, which
would comprise of six intermediate and four market housing units at this site is
considered acceptable. In the context of London Plan policies, the tenure mix is
considered to be acceptable, taking into account the objectives of encouraging
residential development, and the individual circumstances of the site. In this
respect no objection is raised under London Plan Policy 3.3B. The housing
brought forward by the development would also be an appropriate mix having
regard to the objective of securing family and non family units in accordance with
DM LP 2013 policies DM A1 and DM A3, together with Core Strategy H4. The
internal design and layout of the new residential units are considered satisfactory
having regard to Mayors Design Guidelines, and London Plan Policy 3.5 and table
3.3, together with policies DM A2 and DM A9 of the Development Management
Local Plan 2013.
3. Density: The proposal is of an acceptable density which would optimise the
potential of the site and would be compatible with the local character and context
and with public transport capacity. The proposal thereby satisfies London Plan
Policy 3.4, Core Strategy H3 and policy DM A2 of the Development Management
Local Plan 2013.
4. Design: The development is considered to comply with Development
Management Local Plan 2013 Policies DM G1, DM G7 and Core Strategy 2011
Policy BE1, which requires a high standard of design in all developments,
compatible with the scale and character of existing development and its setting,
and London Plan policies 7.1, 7.2, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6 which seek a high quality in design
and architecture, requiring new developments to have regard to the pattern and
grain of existing development. The proposal would preserve and enhance the
character and appearance of the conservation area in accordance with the
policies detailed above.
5. Residential Amenity: The impact of the proposed development upon
adjoining occupiers is considered acceptable. The proposal would not have an
unacceptably harmful impact on neighbouring residential amenity in terms of light,
outlook or privacy and noise and disturbance. In this regard, the development
would respect the principles of good neighbourliness, and would therefore be
