90 Trippet Lane/8 Bailey Lane, S1 4EL (Case No. 18/00386/FUL)

Minutes:

9.2.1

Having considered a supplementary report to committee which was circulated at the meeting (which outlined relevant considerations with regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and related amendments to the recommended reasons for refusal), and representations at the meeting from the applicant’s agent speaking against the officer’s recommendation to refuse, and, notwithstanding the officer’s recommendation, members were minded to grant an application for planning permission for demolition of existing building and erection of 7 storey (plus basement) mixed use development comprising 63. no student bedrooms in 13 clusters over 6 storeys with commercial use on ground/lower ground floor and cycle storage at 90 Trippet Lane/8 Bailey Lane (planning application reference 18/00386/FUL), subject to appropriate conditions. 

 

 

9.2.2

Members outlined that they found it difficult to support the officer’s recommendation and thought the building was similar to other recently erected buildings of scale in the area. Members stated that the proposed development would not cause harm to the conservation area; on the contrary members expressed that they thought it enhanced the conservation area given the existing building to be demolished was not of significant value.    

 

 

9.2.3

Members voted unanimously against the officer recommendation to refuse permission and to instead grant permission for the development for the reasons outlined during the discussions, subject to appropriate conditions being applied.  Authority was delegated to the Head of Planning, in consultation with the Co-Chairs, to approve conditions to be attached to the planning permission.
