Planning Applications PDF 1 MB - Meetings, agendas and minutes

collection arrangements, including the location of collections, would be required to be
submitted and approved by condition (Condition 8)
3.38 It is considered that the development, subject to conditions and the completion of
a satisfactory legal agreement, would be acceptable in terms of its impact on the
highway network and local parking conditions, in accordance with Policies T1 of the
Core Strategy and Policies DM J1 and DM J2 of the Local Plan.
ACCESSIBILITY
3.39 London Plan Policy 7.2 and Design Policies 1, 2, 3 and 8 of the Council's Planning
Guidance SPD are both relevant and require developments to be fully inclusive and
accessible. The Planning Guidance SPD sets out specific requirements to enable ease
of access both to and within developments.
3.40 The application is accompanied by a Design and Access Statement which states
that the facility would be fully inclusive. Measures would be taken to ensure that level
access around the site and at entrances to the buildings is provided, and there would be
an accessible WC and changing rooms.
3.41 It is considered that the proposed development would ensure ease of access for
all users, but a condition is recommended to ensure that the development is constructed
according to these relevant criteria (Condition 23)
SECURED BY DESIGN
3.42 The site will be secured with a gate to the vehicle entrance on South Africa Road
and a gate to the side giving access into the rest of the park for use during the day. The
side gate would be locked when the park closes at dusk (the existing park entrance on
to South Africa Road would remain unaffected by the development), so that when the
park is closed the only access to the PlayFootball site is through the site's entrance
from South Africa Road. Therefore, there would be no access into the park after hours.
It is considered that the development would be secure, and would not give rise to
security concerns or anti social behaviour in Hammersmith Park. The implementation of
secured by design measures, including details of the entrance gates, will be required by
condition (Condition 10).
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Energy and Sustainability
3.43 Although this is not a major application, the applicants have provided information
on proposed measures to reduce carbon emissions and ensure a sustainable
development. Energy efficient lighting is to be used for flood lighting and energy
efficiency measures will be integrated into the pavilion building: all windows face north
east or north west, which limits solar gain and should remove the need for cooling, the
proposed U values of the various elements of the building, exceed the requirements of
the Building Regulations by approximately 10%. A good standard of air-tightness is
proposed (5 - 6 ach). Wherever practically possible sustainable materials and
construction methods will be used and all methods will comply with building control
regulation on sustainability and design. A condition (Condition 36) will be attached to
require final details of the sustainable design and construction and energy efficiency
measures to be implemented, to ensure that the development is sustainable, in
accordance with DM Local Plan policies DM H1 and DM H2.
