1. Summary Of Main Issues

1.1. The acceptability of the change of use 1.2. The acceptability of the impact on existing neighbouring occupiers’ amenity. 1.3. The acceptability of the impact upon transport.

2. Site Description

2.1. Arches 228-232 are located under the tracks on the approach to Waterloo Station located between Waterloo Station Approach Road and York Road, access to the arches is from the Waterloo Station Approach Road and Leake Street.

2.2. For the past year, following application 09/03271/FUL the arches have been used as a theatre space with associated activities. Prior to this the arches appeared to have been in storage use. There is an existing NCP car park to the south of the site; the proposals would not affect the existing car park use.

2.3. The site lies within the Environment Agency Flood Zone 2. The site is also located within the Central London Activities Zone (CAZ), the Waterloo Office Regeneration Area, Waterloo Development Framework Area, Waterloo Visitor Management Area and Major Development Opportunity Area 91 – Waterloo Station (Land under Waterloo Station) (MDO 91) as identified on the UDP Proposals Map.

2.4. The site is not within a Conservation Area nor does it contain any listed structures.

3. Planning History

3.1. 19.01.2010- Planning permission granted for the Change of use of Arches 228-232 for a temporary period of 1 year to theatre use and associated activities. (09/03271/FUL).

3.2. 21.04.2010- Approval of details pursuant to condition 5 (Crowd management strategy) of planning permission ref 09/03271/FUL (Change of use of Arches 228-232 for a temporary period of 1 year to theatre use and associated activities. (Amended Description 7 December 2009) granted on 19.01.2010. (10/00698/DET).

4. Scheme Details

4.1. The application is for the renewal of the change of use of the arches to a theatre use in connection with Theatre. The arches

3

have been known for the past year as the ‘Old Vic Tunnels’. The use of the arches as a theatre was previously granted permission for one year, and the current application seeks to use the arches for a further year.

4.2. It is proposed that is used for site-specific performance and visual arts projects with an associated educational and outreach programme devised by ‘Old Vic New Voices’.

4.3. The venue is licensed to hold up to 500 audience members at any one time, however it is noteworthy that the type of performance will differ with each production; in some cases performances will not have a seated audience, but will be in a promenade style with the audience walking through the space, experiencing and interacting with the theatre.

4.4. The audience would access the site from the Waterloo Station Approach Road, and would exit through Leake Street. The applicant would provide Security Staff on the Waterloo Station Approach Road entrance and Leake Street exit. The cast and staff would utilise the Leake Street access, and deliveries will be taken from either the NCP car park or Leake Street.

4.5. For the past year there has been no ticket office on site and tickets have been purchased from the Old Vic theatre. The applicant states that in future there may be the possibility of tickets being purchased at the Old Vic Tunnels; this would be ancillary to the theatre use applied for within this application.

6. Planning Considerations

6.1. Relevant Policies

6.1.1. Central Government advice is contained in a range of Government Circulars, Planning Policy Guidance Notes (PPG) and/or Planning Policy Statements (PPS). These contain general policies which aim to guide the local planning authority in securing good local planning policies based on real and sound objectives and the need to provide high quality, well thought out and sustainable developments, which make a positive contribution to the locality and which help to protect or enhance the environment.

5

6.1.2. The following national guidance is considered particularly relevant to this application:

- PPS1 (Delivering Sustainable Development) - PPS4 (Planning for Sustainable Communities) - PPG13 (Planning and Transport) - PPG24 (Planning and Noise)

6.1.3. Planning Policy Statement 1 - Planning policies should promote high quality inclusive design in the layout of new developments and individual buildings in terms of function and impact, not just for the short term but over the lifetime of the development. Design which fails to take the opportunities available for improving the character and quality of an area should not be accepted.

6.1.4. Planning Policy Statement 4 - Planning policies should promote town centre vitality and viability by planning for the growth and development of existing centres and promoting and enhancing existing centres, by focusing development in such centres and encouraging a wide range of services in a good environment, accessible to all.

6.1.5. Planning Policy Guidance 13 (Transport) deals with transport and particularly the way in which it integrates with the proper planning of the environment. It seeks to promote more sustainable transport choices and accessibility to jobs, shopping, leisure facilities and services by public transport, walking and cycling and discourages the need to travel by car. Paragraph 17 states that parking standards should not be expressed as minimums and requires planning authorities to revise parking standards to allow for lower levels of off street parking especially in locations which are served by good public transport.

6.1.6. Planning Policy Guidance 24 - outlines the considerations to be taken into account in determining planning applications both for noise-sensitive developments and for those activities which will generate noise; introduces the concept of noise exposure categories for residential development, encourages their use and recommends appropriate levels for exposure to different sources of noise; and advises on the use of conditions to minimise the impact of noise.

6.1.7. The London Plan

6.1.8. The London Plan was consolidated in February 2008 and now includes alterations that have been made since it was adopted in February 2004. The London Plan is the Mayor’s development strategy for Greater London and provides

6

strategic planning guidance for development and use of land and buildings within the London region.

6.1.9. The London Plan provides the strategic policy for London. In the assessment of this application regard was had to the policies within sections;

- 3A (Living in London) - 3C (Connecting London) - 4B (Designs on London).

6.1.10. The Lambeth Unitary Development Plan (2007)

6.1.11. Section 38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 requires planning decisions to be made in accordance with the development plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. The development plan in Lambeth is the London Plan (‘consolidated with Alterations since 2004’ published in February 2008) and the London Borough of Lambeth Unitary Development Plan (UDP): Policies saved beyond 5 th August 2010, with material considerations including planning policy statements and planning policy guidance.

6.1.12. It should be noted that, following examination, the Lambeth Local Development Framework Core Strategy has been declared sound by a government inspector, in the Inspector’s Report dated 6 December 2010. It is anticipated that the Core Strategy will be adopted by the council on 19 January 2011. On adoption, the Core Strategy will become part of the development plan in Lambeth alongside the London Plan and the remaining UDP saved policies that are not superseded by the Core Strategy policies.

6.1.13. In the period between publication of the Core Strategy Inspector’s Report and adoption of the Core Strategy, the policies in the Core Strategy should be given considerable weight in determining planning applications. Where there is a conflict, Core Strategy policies should be given more weight than saved UDP policies.

6.1.14. The following policies of the adopted Lambeth Unitary Development Plan (2007) are considered relevant to this application:

6.1.15. The following key saved UDP land use policies apply in this case:

Policy 1 – The Vision for Lambeth Policy 7 – Protection of Residential Amenity

7

Policy 19 – Active Frontage Uses Policy 24 – Use of Railway Arches Policy 28 – Hotels and Tourism Policy 29 – The Evening and Late Nigh Economy, Food and Drink and Amusement Centre Uses Policy 30 – Arts and Culture Policy 79 – Waterloo Development Framework MDO 91 – Waterloo Station (Land under Waterloo Station)

6.1.16. The following Core Strategy policies also apply:

Policy S1 – Delivering the Vision and Objectives Policy S3 – Economic Development Policy PN1 – Waterloo

6.1.17. The Waterloo Area Supplementary Planning Document is also relevant to the application.

6.2. Land Use

6.2.1. Policy 1 seeks to make Lambeth a great place to live, work and visit by promoting high quality, sustainable development. Policy 1 of the Mayor’s Culture Strategy states that London needs to ensure its cultural institutions and events are of a high quality, world class status and shall ensure that major cultural developments are supported and developed.

6.2.2. Policy PN1 requires development in the Waterloo Development Framework Area to contribute to the comprehensive and integrated sustainable regeneration of the area in line with its Central London functions and its role as a strategic opportunity area. Criterion (a) of this policy seeks a mix of Central London Activities, including maximizing opportunities for housing and community facilities, appropriate to the size and character of the site and the scale of development proposed.

6.2.3. The expansion of arts and cultural activities throughout Waterloo is promoted by Core Strategy Policy PN1

6.2.4. The continued change of use would assist in achieving the objectives contained in the policies outlined above through the promotion of a cultural activity in connection with The Old Vic Theatre Company. The development would also assist in ensuring the needs of cultural institutions and events are supported and developed as required by Policy 1 of the Mayor’s Culture Strategy, and with the aims of PN1 of the Core Strategy.

8

6.2.5. Policy 28 requires that visitor attractions (including arts venues, conference and related facilities, function rooms, banqueting suites, night clubs and major food and drink uses) and large hotels (including large extensions to existing facilities), be located within the Waterloo Visitor Management Area or in the edge or Major Town Centres or in non-residential areas with good, very good or exceptional public transport accessibility with easy access to central London, including the Albert Embankment. Policy 30 relates to Arts and Culture and specifically states that the role of the South Bank Centre as Europe’s premier arts and cultural facilities is to be supported. The policy goes on to state that commercial development associated with arts and cultural uses will be permitted where they are ancillary and complementary to the arts or cultural uses, and where there is a clear and lasting benefit to the arts or cultural uses. Policy S3 states that the Council will support the location of and investment in major office developments, large hotels and apart-hotels, major leisure and cultural activities, other tourist attractions and retail development in the Central Activities Zone, Vauxhall and Waterloo London Plan Opportunity Areas and Brixton and Streatham town centres.

6.2.6. The character and function of the proposed use, which is to produce a series of performance works, fundraising events and other theatre orientated activities, is considered to be complementary to the arts and cultural uses of the area in accordance with Policy 30. Furthermore, the development site is located within the Waterloo Visitor Management Area as required by Policy 28.

6.2.7. Policy 24 relates to the use of railway arches and this policy states that railway arches in industrial or storage use are protected for such uses unless they are proven to be causing significant detriment to residential amenity and/or adverse impact on highways network. For vacant arches, and where it is demonstrated that existing arches are no longer suitable for continue employment use, a number of uses, including active frontage uses, may also be acceptable, subject to the Plan’s other policies. The policy does recognise that in the Central Activities Zone, a more flexible approach towards the use and re-use of railway arches will be adopted. The policy goes on to state that in these areas, the change of use to active frontage uses is encouraged, provided:

(i) This will assist in the achievement of the Council’s regeneration objectives; and

9

(ii) The change of use would not result in the loss of any significant employment generating use that is appropriately located.

Paragraph 4.11.24 to this policy also acknowledges that the policy allows changes of use within the A1, A2, A3, D1 and D2 use classes (as appropriate).

6.2.8. Policy 19 requires development in town centres, local centres and along main pedestrian routes in the Waterloo Visitor Area, the Thames Policy Area, and elsewhere where it would promote urban vitality and/or regeneration, to have active frontage uses open to the public. All street frontage buildings in these locations should have uses, frontages and entrances orientated towards the street.

6.2.9. The application states that the arches are currently vacant and the premises were last used by The Old Vic Theatre Company in spring 2009 for a one-off theatrical production. The application form suggests that the previous lawful use was storage (use class B8). It is considered that the continued use of the arches for the purposes of performance and theatre related activities would be appropriate in land use terms given the site is no longer in employment use and was formerly vacant. Furthermore, Policy 24 does recognise that a more flexible approach towards the use of railway arches as being appropriate in areas such as the CAZ and is therefore further supported by this policy. The proposed use would also enable entrances orientated towards the street in accordance with the objectives of Policy 19.

6.2.10. The application site also falls within MDO 91 which relates to Waterloo Station (Land under Waterloo Station). This policy relates to the remodelling of the Waterloo Station and seeks to increase platform, concourse, and tube capacity with potential for air-rights development above the utilisation of arches space below (i.e. areas which are not presently accessible and which lie under the station). It is considered the development would not hinder the aspirations outlined in this policy and would bring into use vacant arches which would assist in providing a range of uses in the area within and around Waterloo Station.

6.2.11. The Waterloo Area SPD is also of relevance to the application and paragraph 2.29 recognises the importance of the Old Vic and states the following: “The South Bank is Europe’s premier arts and cultural centre and is recognised in the London Plan as being a strategically important area for arts, culture and entertainment. Waterloo is also home to the Old Vic and the on The Cut and the Doon

10

Street development will provide a home for the Rambert Dance Company. Improvements are planned to modernise and expand the rest of the Southbank Centre, the National Theatre and the BFI National Film Theatre. The public realm around these important institutions also needs improving to accommodate higher numbers of visitors, to provide better pedestrian links and to create an appropriately high quality setting.” The change of use would enable further development of The Old Vic Theatre Company in Waterloo and as such consistent with the guidance outlined in the Waterloo Area SPD.

6.2.12. It is considered a change of use of the vacant arches which were formally in use as storage (use class B8) would be appropriate in land use terms having regard to the sites location within the CAZ and the Waterloo Visitor Management Area and the objectives to support and enhance culture and arts in the Waterloo area. It is therefore considered that the development would comply with the objectives contained in Policies 1, 3, 19, 24, 28, 30, 79 and MDO 91.

6.3. Design and Conservation Considerations

6.3.1. The application does not propose any external alterations. As such it is considered there are no design and conservation issues raised by the proposal. It is noted that the application form states that the Applicant wishes to erect signage, although no details or plans have been provided regarding this. It is considered that it may be that the signage would benefit from deemed consent; however the applicant is advised by an informative to submit further details for further advice.

6.4. Amenity Impact

6.4.1. Policy 7 states that "the right of people to the quiet enjoyment of their homes will be respected".

6.4.2. Policy 29 states with regard to the evening and late night economy, food and drink and amusement centre uses that such uses will only be permitted where the proposal would not cause unacceptable noise or other harm to residential amenity, in relation to the proximity to residential premises. Policy 29 states that the specific nature of the use applied for must be acceptable, where necessary conditions will be applied restricting the use of the premises within a use class, where the specific proposed use would not cause these problems. The capacity of premises will be restricted to that permitted by fire safety regulations. The closing

11

hours, concentration and scale of premises, and use of outdoor areas, should not create or add to unacceptable noise or harm to amenity or risk of public disorder. Vehicular movements (including those of customers) should not cause noise nuisance to local residents or cause traffic problems.

6.4.3. It is noted that the nearest residential premises to the site are located between 15-20 metres away on Lower Marsh and that the Waterloo Station Approach Road runs between the subject site and the residential properties. It is acknowledged that the premises are located within the superstructure of the station and in the urban area of Waterloo Station.

6.4.4. It is noted that the applicant is seeking varied hours from those that were previously granted which were 10:00-23.30. The applicant is now seeking permission for the following hours which would be in line with the hours granted within their License;

Sunday- Wednesday 10:00 - 23:30 Thursday-Saturday 10:00 - 03:00

6.4.5. Lambeth’s Environmental Health- Noise Pollution Team were consulted on the application and raised no objection to the proposal. They advised that there have been no recorded noise complaints relating to the use. The Environmental Health Team previously advised that that due to the nature of the premises there were no concerns regarding internal noise from the arches given that they are located beneath the station superstructure.

6.4.6. With regard to the proposed hours it is considered that the opening hours proposed for Sunday-Wednesday are acceptable as these are a continuation of those previously proposed.

6.4.7. In consideration of the proposed hours for Thursday- Saturday it is noted that these are an increase from the previously approved 23.30 closing time. The applicant advises that the increase in hours to 3am would bring the planning permission in-line with the current license. The applicant has advised that late operational hours are only effective on rare occasions, such as post show events or fundraisers etc, with most shows finishing 22.30pm.

6.4.8. It is considered that due to the condition requiring that no amplified sound is audible outside the premises the key issue which relates the increase in hours would be the

12

possibility of noise and disturbance caused by people leaving the premises; rather than noise escaping from the premises themselves. The premises exit onto Leake Street which is be away from the residential uses on Lower Marsh, and it is likely that people leaving the venue would be more dispersed when reaching York Road. The applicant has advised that there will be security staff at both the entrance and exit to ensure that people exiting the venue in a safe, quiet and orderly manner which would minimise any noise and disturbance from people leaving the venue. It is considered that as the application is for a temporary permission for one year, it is possible to use this period as a ‘trial period’ for the later hours, which can then be reviewed should a re-application be made at the expiration of the subject application. It is noted that no complaints have been generated from the use and that should there be noise complaints these can be dealt with under Environmental Health and Licensing legislation.

6.4.9. The applicant has submitted a detailed Operation Manual and Risk Assessment for the proposed use, although it is noted that the risk assessment varies for each performance. The previous application was approved subject to the submission of a management plan

6.4.10. It is considered that the proposal would not lead to an unacceptable increase in noise and disturbance for local residential occupiers and as such it is considered the proposal complies with policies 7 and 29 of the Unitary Development Plan (2007).

6.5. Highways and Transportation Issues

6.5.1. Policy 9 requires that planning applications are assessed for their transport impact, including cumulative impacts on highway safety, the environment and road network and on all transport modes, including public transport. Policy 9 has not been superseded by the Core Strategy.

6.5.2. Transport for London (TfL) were consulted on the application and did not raise any objections to the proposal for the change of use for one year. TfL requested that any measures used to manage queues are placed in such a way that pedestrians not involved in the event are still able to use Station Approach without stepping onto the carriageway. TfL also recommended that any queues should be managed to queue northwards (towards Waterloo Road) rather than south towards Leake Street as the footway in this direction is generally wider and there is a footpath on both sides of the road. The management of the queue to allow continued

13

pedestrian passage formed part of the approved Crowd Management Plan; in the light of the response from TfL it is considered pertinent to require the implementation of the approved Crowd Management Strategy in association with this application.

6.5.3. Lambeth’s Transport and Highways team were consulted on the application and raised no objections to the proposal. It is noted previously that Lambeth’s Transport Team raised queries regarding the crowd management of the queuing, the congregation of the number of people on the site and the impact upon pedestrian and vehicular traffic on Station Approach, and this concern was dealt with through a condition requiring the submission of a Crowd Management Strategy. This condition was discharged under application 10/00698/DET. In light of the previous concerns of the Transport Team it is considered appropriate to impose a condition requiring the previously approved Crowd Management Strategy to be implemented in association with this application.

6.5.4. As such it is considered that the proposal is acceptable and complies with policy 9 of the Unitary Development Plan (2007).

6.6. Refuse and Recycling

6.6.1. PPS10 requires Local Authorities to ensure that new development makes sufficient provision for waste management and promote designs and layouts that secure the integration of waste management facilities without adverse impact on the street scene or, in less developed areas, the local landscape.

6.6.2. With regard to refuse and recycling the applicant has stated that refuse and that the landlords of the site (BRBR) have provided the venue with a regularly serviced skip and disposal collection on a daily bases. The skip is situated off- site under Waterloo Station. All waste will be removed from the site by the applicant and deposited in the skip.

6.6.3. It is considered that these servicing arrangements are acceptable and as such the proposal complies with PPS10.

6.7. Designing Out Crime

6.7.1. Policy 32 states that development, including alterations, extensions and changes of use should enhance community safety. Development will not be permitted where

14

opportunities for crime are created or where it results in an increased risk of public disorder.

6.7.2. Lambeth’s Designing Out Crime Adviser has commented on the application and raised no objection.

6.7.3. The applicant proposes to provide two trained Security Staff on the entrance from the Waterloo Station Approach Road and two trained Security Staff on the exit to Leake Street, whilst the premises is in use. It is also proposed to have security staff patrolling the site out of hours. As such it is considered that the proposal complies with policy 32 of the Unitary Development Plan and is acceptable in this regard.

6.8. Flood Risk

6.8.1. The site is within an Environment Agency Flood Zone 2. The Environment Agency were consulted on the previous application and confirmed that a Flood Risk Assessment is not required on this case.

7. Conclusion

7.1. It is considered that the submission represents an acceptable proposal which would enhance the provision of cultural activities within the North of the borough and the Central London Activities Zone. It is considered that the proposal would not have an unacceptable impact upon the amenity of neighbouring residential uses and highway safety, subject to the recommended conditions.
