05.2 - 10 Orangery Lane - Addendum , item 5. PDF 91 KB
Resolved to refuse full planning permission for the demolition of existing building and construction of a part 4 / part 8 storey mixed use development comprising a flexible B1 (Business) / D1(Non Residential Institution) use at ground floor level and 42 self-contained flats above.
Members noted the officer’s addendum reports, circulated on a supplementary agenda and a number of public documents submitted to them in advance of the meeting.
The Planning Case Officer gave an illustrative presentation and advised that the proposal included two disability parking spaces off of Orangery Lane and at an even level to entry to the block. The affordable housing offer had been increased to 21%, which equated to 9 units. The tallest element of the proposal had been reduced and officers felt that the changes to the application addressed the previous reasons for refusal.
Members sought further clarification as to how officers saw the reasons for refusal, of the previous application, had been overcome. To which the Planning Case Officer advised that the height had been reduced; the density reduced as a result of fewer units and the provision of two disabled parking spaces on site.
In response to Members questions the Planning Case Officer confirmed that the provision of two disabled parking spaces in an otherwise car free development was acceptable. The site had a high PTAL rating of 4 to 6a, with good public transport links. As the site was located within a Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) it was also recommended that new occupants be restrict from applying for CPZ permits for the area.
Further, the Planning Case Officer confirmed that the questions as to whether provision of two disabled bays was sufficient had been passed to the Councils Occupational Therapist who supported this as sufficient numbers. Also, all floors would be serviced by a lift and the units would be of ‘design for life’ standard.
The Planning Case Officer clarified that the podium area was set further back from existing properties. That the tallest element had been reduced by 1 floor and the lower elements to 3 to 4, due to the slope of the site.
In respect of the lack of social housing and only affordable shared provision the Planning Case officer state that the original offer was of 15% shared ownership, which was agreed independently. However, the applicant felt that it currently viable to offer 21% and whilst not policy compliant was considered satisfactory.
Members questioned how, given the reduction in units, the applicant felt that it was now viably possible to increase the affordable offer and questioned the validity of the original viability assessment.
The Planning Case Officer confirmed that the commercial let to local business at competitive rate was being offered on the revised application.
The Planning Board Accepted an address from the Old Page Estate Residents Association (OPERA) representative speaking in objection to the application who commented that the application was still at direct odds with the Eltham Masterplan and Core Strategy, which sought buildings in and adjacent to the Eltham High Street be restrained to 4 stories, maximum. That there were still issues of overlooking to existing residents and be overbearing to the Orangery, which was to be at the forefront of an orangery square on the site.

07.2 - J MUIR & CO (Bookbinders), Blackheath Rd 17-3338 - Addendum , item 7. PDF 70 KB
Resolved to grant planning permission for the demolition of existing buildings and redevelopment of the site providing 83sqm of commercial use and 24 residential units (9x1-bed, 11x2-bed, 4x3-bed) (Resubmission).
(ii) Conditions set out in Appendix 2 of the main report and addendum report.
(1) That the application amends the scheme proposed by a previous application (ref: 16/1010/F) which had been appealed for non-determination and is currently held in abeyance until this application would be determined.
(2) That the previous application (ref: 16/1010/F), which was for 28 units, was presented to the Planning Board on 1 August 2017; however, it was resolved that had an appeal for non-determination not been submitted that previous application (ref: 16/1010/F) would have been refused on grounds of its design, bulk and massing and the impact this would have on the area and the amenity of neighbouring properties and the impacts from increased parking pressures.
Noted the main differences between the applications (refs 16/1010/F and 17/3338/F) is the reduction in the built form by removing the top floor from the front block and retaining the landscaped strip along the western boundary of the site that fronts onto Crosslet Vale, which results in the reduction in the number of units from 28 to 24 units.
Noted that it had been demonstrated that it was not viable to provide affordable housing within the proposed development; however, the applicant had offered to provide 4 discount market sales units (16.7%) if the application was granted. The proposed development would also meet sustainability objectives, would be car free and cycle storage facilities would be provided at the ground level.
In providing an illustrated presentation of the application the Planning Case Officer advised that there had been a number of changes to the application before Members, including the removal of the top floor and a simplified elevation profile reflecting surrounding buildings.
The Planning Board accepted an address from the Director Blackheath Road (Block C) Management Company speaking in favour of the application who advised that whilst the Management Company had opposed the original application, predominantly with regards to the use of a tree lined strip of land, included in the original condition for the development of Crosslet Vale, over which the residents had rights and obligations.
The Management Company representative advised that agreement had now been reached with the developer that construction vehicles could access the site, via Crosslet Vale. Agreement had also been reached for the transfer of the strip of land along Crosslet Vale back to the Management Company following the completion of the development and landscaping works carried out by the developer. Given the conditions that residents of the development would not be permitted to park in Crosslet Vale, the changes to the building height and agreement on the contested piece of land the application was supported.
The Chair advised the Members the agreement reached between the developer and the Management Company was not a planning matter.
The Planning Board accepted an address from the applicant who confirmed that they had taken on board the comments of the Planning Board and residents on the previous application and redesigned the development accordingly. He advised that a commitment had been reached with the Crosslet Vale Management Company on the piece of land.
Members considered that the application and considered that the changes in design and height were positive and that residents’ concerns had been addressed.
The Chair put the application to the vote with 12 Members for granting permission, 0 against and 0 abstentions.

Members noted an officers addendum report in relation to this item had been circulated on a supplementary agenda.
In response to a Member’s question the Development Control Manager (Major Projects) confirmed that there would be an uplift of 16 habitable units. That the development included 26 social rented units but these could not be secured until the S106 agreement had been reached.
A Member noted that a number of promised public realm improvement, promised in relation to previous elements of the scheme, had not been delivered and appeared to be tied into the S106 agreement and felt strongly this situation needed to be sorted out.
The Planning Board accepted an address from a resident who commented that when the development was originally agreed, in 2007, there was extensive public realm elements including public parks, playground, an ecology park and riverfront beach, none of which had been delivered. She noted that the only public realm provision derived was a very small play area for under 5’s only which was gated and closed at 5pm. She felt that this was not adequate given the promised public realm and the disturbance residents had experienced during construction work. She felt that this was the last opportunity for the residents to seek the public realm improvements Bellway Homes promised to deliver, were delivered before they were lost in the mist of time.
The Planning Board accepted an address from a representative for the applicant, Bellway Homes, who advised that when they took over the development from London and Regional they accepted the public realm elements to be delivered and they were chasing a number of invoices relating to, in respect of delivering on the S106, which were of a substantial figure. Further, that it was Bellway Homes aim to deliver on all the promised public realm provisions.
Members noted that Bellway Homes were the developer and had sought approval for the development with acceptance of the public realm delivery. That the current play provision was not good enough and there was a need for the developer to rectify this.
The Developer’s representative advised that they worked with the residents work group and that the developer would be happy to discuss Members specific concerns further, directly. He continued that it was embarrassing that it had taken so long for them to resolve this matter with London and Regional and hoped to release the funds in the next couple of days.

(iv) The late stage review be conducted following the sale of 75% of the residential units.
In presenting the item the Development Control Manager (Major Projects) advised that the matter was being referred to the Board to seek agreement to amend its former resolution. The GLA had advised that they require the second stage review mechanism to be triggered once 75% of the residential units have been sold in accordance with the Mayor’s Affordable Housing and Viability SPG, as opposed to the 65% trigger requested by the Planning Board.
In response to a Members question the Development Control Manager (Major Projects) advised that the applicant had up to three years to commence construction. However, if construction works had not begun within 18 months a review of the application would be triggered.
In determining the matter before them Members felt that it was regrettable that this was the manner in which the Council had to try and secure an uplift in affordable housing.
The officer’s recommendation was put to the Members with 11 in favour of adoption, 0 objection and 0 abstention.
Thatit be agreed that (as an amendment to) the resolution made at the Planning Board meeting held on 24 July 2017 in respect of Item 4 of that meeting to read as follows:
