Environmental Impact Assessment:<br />

3.2 Having regard to the duty on the Council under regulation 7 of the Town <strong>and</strong><br />

Country <strong>Planning</strong> (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2011 (the EIA<br />

Regulations) Officers have considered whether the office application is one which<br />

should require an environmental impact assessment given the cumulative effect of the<br />

developments occurring on this site. Officers have reviewed the information submitted<br />

as part of the application <strong>and</strong> other recent approved applications as part of our<br />

consideration. Having done so, in this case it is concluded that an environmental impact<br />

assessment is not required for the following reasons:<br />

3.3 Whilst it is noted that the recent phase 2 expansion plans, the original planning<br />

application <strong>and</strong> subsequent modified consents on this site were both subject to<br />

environmental impact assessments, this application, like the retail <strong>and</strong> leisure extension<br />

(approved recently) is a self-contained application for planning permission. It is not an<br />

application for a change to or extension of an EIA development, <strong>and</strong> consequently<br />

schedule 2 paragraph 13 to the EIA regulations does not apply.<br />

3.4 The area of development comprised in the application is less than 0.5 hectares <strong>and</strong><br />

it is considered that the development subject of this application would be unlikely to<br />

have significant environmental effects when judged on its own account or cumulatively<br />

with other development in the area (this 'other development' includes the development<br />

to the north of the Westfield London centre which was permitted by the council in March<br />

2011 but which has not yet commenced (ref: 2011/02940/OUT) <strong>and</strong> the recently<br />

approved retail <strong>and</strong> leisure extension (ref: 2013/01074/FUL). For this reason, it is<br />

considered that a full environmental impact assessment is not required to support the<br />

development proposed in this application.<br />

4.0 PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS:<br />

4.1 The main planning considerations are as follows:<br />

Principle of Development<br />

Suitability of L<strong>and</strong> Uses<br />

Design<br />

Impact on Neighbouring Properties<br />

Transport <strong>and</strong> Parking
