Applicant: Rising Star (Waterloo) Ltd Agent: Iceni Projects Ltd SITE DESIGNATIONS Relevant site designations: Type of designation Applicable designation Central Activities Zone (CAZ) Waterloo Flood Zone 3 LAND USE DETAILS Site area 0.24 hectares Use Class Use Description Floorspace (Gross Internal Area) Existing C1 Hotel 10,764 square metres (sqm) Proposed C1 Hotel 11,960 sqm (an additional 1,196sqm) PARKING DETAILS Car Parking Car Parking Bicycle Motorbike Spaces Spaces Spaces Spaces (general) (Disabled) Existing 0 2 26 0 Proposed 0 2 26 0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The application is for a five storey extension to the existing hotel in the existing service yard, which would result in an increase of 35 rooms in addition to the existing 297. The proposed land use and quantum of development is considered to be appropriate in this central London location with excellent access to public transport facilities and nearby tourist attractions. Despite the proposed intensification of the existing hotel use at the site, this would not be at the expense of other land uses in the area locally. The proposed development would not impact unacceptably on neighbouring properties, the character of the area or the setting of the adjacent Conservation Area and furthermore it would not impact unacceptably on local environmental conditions. The proposed extension to the hotel is considered to be appropriate in its siting, scale, form and detailed design, noting that it would integrate well with the adjacent buildings and would cause no harm to any of the surrounding heritage assets. The proposed development would provide an acceptable standard of hotel accommodation, and would not impact unacceptably on the neighbouring properties, local environmental conditions or the local transport system. Furthermore, the scheme would provide employment and training benefits for local people during the construction phase of the development and in the end use of the site. Officers consider that the development would be in compliance with the Development Plan for the Borough. Officers are therefore recommending approval of the scheme, subject to conditions and completion of a Section 106 Agreement. PLANNING OFFICER’S REPORT Reason for referral to PAC: The application is reported to the Planning Applications Committee in accordance with (1)(ii) of the Committee’s terms of reference as it relates to a major application for the creation of more than 1,000sqm of commercial floorspace. SITE AND SURROUNDINGS 1.1 The application site lies on the north-eastern side of Waterloo Road on a prominent corner plot at its junction with Gray Street, broadly opposite the junctions with Pearman Street and Morley Street. To the immediate rear of the site is Webber Street with Ufford Street located further to the north. A pub known as ‘The Stage Door’ is located to the rear of the site on the junction of Gray Street and Webber Street. Adjoining the site to the north-west is a large office block known as Wellington House. 1.2 The site comprises a large modern hotel (Use Class C1) operated by Hampton by Hilton with a total of 297 bedrooms. The building is part-nine, part-eight, part-five storey and drops down in height along Gray Street to correspond to the ‘low rise’ development to the rear. The site features a fairly large service yard to the rear which is accesses from a vehicular and pedestrian access on Gray Street. The site is immediately adjacent to the borough boundary with LB Southwark. 1.3 The host building is not listed. However the retained frontage to the adjoining Wellington House is Grade II listed. However it should be noted that the rear of Wellington House has been redevelopment as a large office block clad in reflective panels. The site is not located in a conservation area, however the Mitre Road and Ufford Street Conservation Area is located to the north and north-east of the site. 1.4 Waterloo Road is a busy thoroughfare forming one of the main vehicular routes from north to south. It forms part of the Transport for London maintained road network and is served very well by the local bus network with a number of bus stops in the immediate vicinity of the application site. This and the proximity to Waterloo Station ensures that the site benefits from a PTAL rating of 6a. PROPOSAL 2.1 The proposed development would see a five storey extension to the existing hotel to provide an additional 35 bedrooms for the hotel at first, second, third, fourth and fifth floor level.
