Justification for Approving the Application: 1) 1. Demolition: The proposal represents a high quality landscaping scheme which would enhance the character and appearance of the conservation area. The development is therefore considered to be acceptable in accordance with Policies 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6 and 7.8 of the London Plan (2011) and policy BE1 of the Core Strategy and Polices DM G7, DM G1 and DM E4 of the Development Management Local Plan (2013). 2. Design: The proposal represents a high quality development which would make a positive contribution to the public realm and enhances the character and appearance of the conservation area. The development is therefore considered to be acceptable in accordance with Policies 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6 and 7.8 of the London Plan (2011) and policy BE1 of the Core Strategy and Polices DM G7, DM G1 and DM E4 of the Development Management Local Plan (2013) 3. Flood Risk: A Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) has been submitted and has considered risks of flooding to the site and adequate preventative measures have been identified and secured. The development is therefore considered to be acceptable in accordance with the NPPF and London Plan Policy 5.12 and Core Strategy Policies CC1 and CC2. 4. Temporary loss of housing (including affordable housing): Although London Plan Policy 3.14 seeks to retain existing housing in London, London Plan Policy 3.4 seeks to optimise housing potential. In this regard the quality of the existing housing on site is poor and redevelopment of the Site would enable the provision of better quality, fit for purpose housing whilst optimising the potential of the site which has been indentified in the SHLAA as having potential for an approximate 50% increase in capacity. Increasing the density on site would be more sustainable in line with the objectives of the NPPF. The demolition would assist and accelerate a future housing scheme coming forward in 2014 and the Council have sufficient comfort from the advanced stage of the Council's JV programme that this will occur. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT 2000 LIST OF BACKGROUND PAPERS All Background Papers held by Michael Merrington (Ext: 3453): Application form received: 24th June 2013 Drawing Nos: see above Policy documents: The London Plan 2011 Core Strategy 2011 Development Management Local Plan July 2013 Planning Guidance Supplementary Planning Document July 2013
