EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2.1. The Local Planning Authority has considered the particular circumstances of this application against the Council’s Development Plan policies contained in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets adopted Core Strategy (2010) and Managing Development Document (2013) as well as the London Plan (2015) consolidated with alterations since 2011 including the National Planning Policy Framework and has found that: 2.2. The proposed redevelopment of this vacant brownfield sites for a residential-led development is considered to optimise the use of the land and as such, to be in accordance with the aspirations of the site’s Millennium Quarter Site allocation within the Managing Development Document (2013). 2.3. The scale and form of the proposed tall buildings would successfully mediate between Canary Wharf and existing/consented buildings to the south of Marsh Wall. They would be of high quality design, provide a positive contribution to the skyline and not adversely impact on heritage assets or strategic or local views. 2.4. The density of the scheme would not result in significantly adverse impacts typically associated with overdevelopment and there would be no unduly detrimental impacts upon the amenities of the neighbouring occupants in terms of loss of light, overshadowing, loss of privacy or increased sense of enclosure. The high quality of accommodation provided, along with internal and external amenity spaces would provide an acceptable living environment for the future occupiers of the site. 2.5. The development would provide a suitable mix of housing types and tenure including an acceptable provision of affordable housing. Taking into account the viability constraints of the site the development is maximising the affordable housing potential of the scheme. 2.6. The development, which has been designed to retain the existing educational uses and the provision of a 2Form primary school with a nursery is strongly supported and would help provide additional infrastructure on site to cater for educational needs arising from this and surrounding developments. 2.7. Transport matters, including parking, access and servicing are on balance considered acceptable. Whilst the parking is higher than the level sought by LBTH Transportation and Highways it is below the adopted policy requirements. 2.8. Flood risk and drainage strategies are appropriate, acceptable design standards (BREEAM and Code for Sustainable Homes) are proposed. High quality landscaping and, subject to detailed design, biodiversity features are also proposed which should help ensure the development is environmentally sustainable. 3. RECOMMENDATION 3.1. That the Committee resolve to GRANT planning permission subject to: 3.2. Any direction by The London Mayor. 3.3. The prior completion of

The application also includes a range of public realm improvements, including a canal side public walk way and improved pedestrian access to the Churchill Place retail centre. The applicant The applicant is Canary Wharf Ltd. and the architect is KPF. Strategic issues This application does not raise any strategic planning policy concerns. Recommendation That Tower Hamlets Council be advised that the Mayor is content for it to determine the case itself, subject to any action that the Secretary of State may take, and does not therefore wish to direct refusal or direct that he is to be the local planning authority. Context 1 On 1 March 2010 the Mayor of London received documents from Tower Hamlets Council notifying him of a planning application of potential strategic importance to develop the above site for the above uses. This was referred to the Mayor under Categories 1B and 1C of the Schedule to the Order 2008: “. ”Development which comprises or includes the erection of a building or buildings outside Central London and with a floorspace of more than 15,000 sq.m.” “Development which comprises or includes the erection of a building more than 30 metres high outside the City of London.” 2 On 31 March 2010 the Mayor considered planning report PDU/2140a/01, and subsequently advised Tower Hamlets Council that the application did not comply with the London Plan, for the reasons set out in paragraph 60 of the above-mentioned report; but that the possible remedies set out in paragraph 62 of that report could address these deficiencies.

  • Written Evidence Submitted by Councillor Andrew Wood [FPS 137]
    Written evidence submitted by Councillor Andrew Wood [FPS 137] I am the Councillor for Canary Wharf ward in Tower Hamlets, east London, it has the highest and densest new build residential developments in western Europe, so we have a rather unique perspective on planning. We do not have a problem in delivering lots of new homes, we deliver more than our fair share but the problems we have are indicative of other issues with the existing and proposed new planning system. My ward occupies about 40% of the Isle of Dogs and South Poplar area which is the single most important small growth area in the United Kingdom in terms of housing and jobs. For example, the GLA has a Maximum growth forecast for an additional 49,000 homes + 110,000 jobs in this small area. I also helped found the Isle of Dogs Neighbourhood Planning forum, the largest in the country based on population size, circa 40,000 people. Our 2nd attempt at a Neighbourhood Plan goes to referendum next May 2021. The Isle of Dogs and South Poplar area is likely to be tasked to deliver 1.04% of the governments new housing targets in an area you can walk across in thirty minutes and therefore merits special consideration. That % is likely to increase given political complaints elsewhere in England and an unwillingness to confront the green belt. Tower Hamlets Council does not complain about its targets unlike some others. But it has had more development than any other part of the UK and Tower Hamlets has been the fastest growing local authority for at least the last twenty years and is the number one recipient of New Homes Bonus in the country every year, £189 million since 2011.

  • Finding 25 Churchill Place from London Bridge Station (Jubilee Line)
    Finding 25 Churchill Place From London Bridge Station (Jubilee Line) Go to the Jubilee Line Platform for East-bound trains. As you enter the platform, turn right and make your way nearly to the end of the platform to wait for the next train. Exit the train at Canary Wharf and go up either the first or second escalators, which will display signs for Upper Bank Street and Montgomery Street, then make your way through the barriers. Turn right after the barriers and go through the doors marked Canada Square & Churchill offices & shops. Head up the escalator. Keep straight ahead when you reach the top, following the signs to Churchill Place. Head through the hallway, turn left at the end and head up the escalator. At the top, turn right and travel across the waterway through the glass hallway. Exit the hallway using the first doors on the left, before the escalator – disregard the fact it looks like a fire exit. As you exit, 25 Churchill Place is the building on your right. Make your way around the corner to the right – pass 30 Churchill Place (entrance to the European Medical Agency) – and use the next entrance. You have arrived. From Canary Wharf DLR Station Exit the DLR at Canary Wharf. Head down the stairs directly from the platform – do not enter the shopping centre. Exit the station to the South without entering the shopping centre. Cross the street (South Colonnade) and turn left (East). Follow this street all the way to Churchill Place – you’ll pass Wahaca and Waitrose on your left.
