13) No development works shall commence prior to the submission and approval in
writing by the Council of a construction management plan and a construction
logistics plan (in accordance with Transport for London guidelines), which shall
include details of the steps to be taken to re-use and recycle waste, details of site
enclosure throughout construction avoidance of impact on nesting birds, and
details of the measures proposed to minimise the impact of the construction
processes on the existing amenities of the occupiers of neighbouring properties,
including monitoring and control measures for dust, noise, vibration, lighting and
working hours, waste classification and disposal procedures and locations, and the
measures proposed to prevent the passage of mud and dirt onto the highway by
vehicles entering and leaving the site in connection with the demolition and
construction processes. All construction works shall be carried out in accordance
with the approved details.
In order that appropriate steps are taken to limit the impact of the proposed
demolition and construction works on the amenities of local residents and the area
generally, in accordance with policies DM G1, DM G3, DM H8, DM H9 and DM
H10 of the Development Management Local Plan.
14) Prior to occupation of the extended office floorspace, details of an Employment
and Training Strategy shall be submitted to the local planning authority for
approval. The Employment and Training Strategy shall comprise an over-arching
strategy with the aim of prioritising and maximising access to new employment
opportunities and skills training primarily for Local Residents, in relation to the
operational phase of the extended office facility during the lifetime of the offices
(end use) and the provision of goods and services to any part of the office facility,
setting out initiatives to provide education and/or skills training opportunities and
employment support, advice and programmes aimed at Local Residents, including
those with low skills or previously long term unemployed, to enable them to obtain
knowledge, skill, experience, confidence and opportunity to gain employment in
jobs (end-use) related to the offices together with the proposed costs and targets
for monitoring their effectiveness.
In order to ensure the development provides opportunities for increasing
employment within the White City Opportunity Area and the Borough in
accordance with Core Strategy policy LE1, WCOA and WCOA1 and London Plan
policies 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3.
Justification for Approving the Application:
1) Land Uses: It is considered that the proposed extended Class B1 (office)
floorspace would help strengthen and maintain the range of facilities available in
Shepherd's Bush Town Centre and the Shopping Centre in accordance with policy
DM C1 of the Development Management Local Plan. The proposed extended
office floorspace would be to an appropriate established use (Class B1) within the
White City Opportunity Area which is well served and accessible by public
transport. The additional employment generating floorspace would also serve to
retain and strengthen the level of office accommodation in the town centre and
Opportunity area. The proposed development is therefore considered acceptable,
in accordance with policies 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 4.2, 4.6, 4.7, and 4.8 of the London
Plan (2011) and Strategic Policies WCOA and WCOA1 which require the wider
