which would target level 4 of the Code for Sustainable Homes. In addition to the carbon
reduction measures outlined above, additional measures are planned to promote the
sustainable use of building materials, ensure efficient use of water, encourage
sustainable waste behaviour, reduce pollution and manage the impacts of the
construction process. The measures outlined in the statement comply with the
requirements of London Plan policy 5.3 on sustainable design and construction. A
condition would be attached to any permission to ensure the implementation of the
measures outlined in the Sustainability Statement (condition 18).
3.65 It is therefore considered that, subject to conditions ensuring the implementation
of the energy and the sustainability measures, the proposal would be judged to comply
with London Plan Policy 5.3 and Policy DM H2 of the DM LP on sustainable design and
construction and Core Strategy policy CC1 and Policy DM H1 of the DM LP on carbon
reduction.
Contamination
3.66 London Plan Policy 5.21, Core Strategy Policy CC4 and Policy DM H7 and DM
H11 of the DM LP 2013 states that the Council will support the remediation of
contaminated land and that it will take measures to minimise the potential harm of
contaminated sites and ensure that mitigation measures are put in place. The applicants
have submitted a preliminary risk assessment relating to contaminated land, which has
been assessed by officers.
3.67 Potentially contaminative land uses, past or present, are understood to occur at,
or near to, this site. In order to ensure that no unacceptable risks are caused to
humans, controlled waters or the wider environment during and following the
development works further conditions would be attached to any permission covering the
assessment and remediation of contaminated land (Conditions 19 to 23).
PLANNING OBLIGATIONS
CIL
3.68 Mayoral CIL (Community Infrastructure Levy) 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. Where applications do not meet these requirements,
they may be refused. However, in some instances, it may be possible to make
acceptable development proposals which might otherwise be unacceptable, through the
use of planning conditions or, where this is not possible, through planning obligations.
3.69 This development will be subject to a London-wide community infrastructure levy,
charged at a rate of £50 per square metre for development in Hammersmith & Fulham.
An estimate of £23,000 based on 806 sqm of additional floorspace has been calculated.
This takes into account a discount for the affordable housing provided. This will
contribute towards the funding of Crossrail, and further details are available via the GLA
website www.london.gov.uk. The GLA expect the Council, as the Collecting Authority, to
secure the levy in accordance with London Plan Policy 8.3.
