RECOMMENDATION: Grant conditional permission Applicant: Mr Andy Lam Agent: Mrs Mangala Ratnayake Kier Construction Hunters South Architects 2 Langston Road Sussex Business Village Loughton Lake Lane Essex Barnham United Kingdom West Sussex G10 3SD PO22 0AA SITE DESIGNATIONS Relevant site designations: Type of designation Applicable designation N/A N/A LAND USE DETAILS Site area 6079 square metres Use Class Use Description Floorspace (Gross External Area) Existing Class D1 School 1742.7 sqm Proposed Class D1 School 2603.93 sqm PARKING DETAILS Car Parking Car Parking Bicycle Spaces Scooter Spaces Spaces Spaces (general) (Disabled) Existing 11 1 0 0 Proposed 4 1 0 0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The application site is situated between Combermere Road and Argyll Close. The proposal is to demolish the existing single storey school building and the two-storey Caretaker’s House and erect a new school building 2 storeys in height. The school would be a Special Educational Needs School for secondary level pupils. The new school would include a playground which is to be located at the northern end of the school grounds. The key planning issues are: The implications of intensification use of the site for educational purposes; The loss of the existing buildings; The design of the new building and whether it would be appropriate to the character and appearance of the surrounding area; The impact of the new school building on the setting of the adjacent Grade II listed building, The Marquis of Lorne Public House The loss of trees; The impact of the development on the amenity of neighbouring residential properties; and The transport and highway impacts. The proposal would allow an increase in school places on this site from 86 to 110 to meet an identified need within the borough. The new school building has been designed to respond to the height and massing of neighbouring buildings, it is appropriate to the area and is not considered that it would harm the setting of the adjacent listed Marquis of Lorne Public House. The development would result in the loss of some trees on the site, but subject to the provision of suitable replacement tree planting, which would provide an equivalent or enhanced level of visual amenity, it is considered that the benefits of the development outweigh any harm to the character and appearance of the local area. A transport assessment demonstrates that the new school would not have a negative impact on the local transport network. The proposed development would bring positive benefits to the local community in terms of improved educational facilities in the area; it would also enliven the site through a well thought-out, high quality designed building with enhanced landscaping including replacement trees. OFFICERS 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 1000sqm of Non- Residential Institution floorspace. 1 SITE AND SURROUNDINGS 1.0 The application site is a 0.49 ha site situated between Combermere Road and Argyll Close. The site has three street frontages, to the north it faces onto Argyll Close, to the west onto Dalyell Road and to the south onto Combermere Road. There are a number of mature and prominent trees on the site. 1.1 To the north, south and west of the site the built form is predominantly two to four storey residential properties. Opposite the site on Combermere Road, is The Marquis of Lorne Public House, which is a Grade II listed building. To the north of the site is the adjacent Stockwell Green Conservation Area and to the east of the site lies the Stockwell Green United Reformed Church off Stockwell Green. The site itself lies outside the boundaries of the Conservation Area. 1.2 At present there are a number of single storey buildings in the middle of the site and a two storey Caretakers House located in the North West corner of the school grounds. The existing building was originally designed as a primary school and subsequently adapted to provide a special needs secondary school, its layout and facilities do not fully meet the pupil’s educational and behavioural needs. The existing school is of poor design quality and is not considered to be a non-designated heritage asset. 1.3 The site has a vehicular and pedestrian access from Argyll Close which is used by staff/pupil/visitors and an additional pedestrian gate off Combermere Road to the south. The school car park currently provides parking for approximately 11 cars, however, the car park does not have formal parking spaces marked out. 1.4 The site is located in the Brixton ‘B’ CPZ (0830 – 1730) and the PTAL is 5 which means it has ‘very good’ access to public transport services Image 1: Aerial view of the site looking north 2 PROPOSAL 2.0 The existing school was originally designed as a primary school and subsequently adapted as a special educational needs school for 86 pupils aged between 11-18 years as well as 50 full time staff and 7 part time staff members. The existing school buildings are to be demolished and the site redeveloped to provide a new two-storey Special Needs facility with associated landscaping for the Lansdowne School. The school would provide educational facilities for 110 pupils aged between 11-18 years as well as 50 full time staff and 7 part time staff members. 2.1 The proposed development would comprise an ‘L’ shaped building sited on the southern and western boundaries of the site; it would be two storeys in height. The two storey element would be sited along the southern (Combermere Road) frontage and along the western (Dalyell Road) frontage. The playground would be located within the northern part of the site adjacent to Argyll Close. 2.2 The school would be accessible to pedestrians from two entrance points; the Main school and Visitor entrance to the south of the site and the pupil and staff entrance from the northern end of the school site (see Figure 1 below). Vehicular access would remain as existing - along the northern boundary from Argyll Close but separate from pedestrian access. 2.3 In terms of general layout, the proposed ground floor of the building would provide the kitchen, storage rooms, main hall, school reception, food tech, design tech, classrooms (2 classrooms for year groups 7 – 9), toilets and changing facilities. The proposed first floor would provide classrooms (2 classrooms for year groups 11 –13), science, art, music/drama rooms, SEN resource base, sensory room, plant room, staff work spaces, storage rooms and toilets. Figure 1: Proposed Site Plan 2.4 Amendments 2.5 No significant amendments have been made to the originally submitted plans during the consideration of the application. However, one change was made relating to the metal cladding. The applicant amended the drawings to show a change in colour from green, red and grey to grey. 3 RELEVANT PLANNING HISTORY 3.0 Pre-application advice was provided in December 2014 in respect of proposals for a new build secondary school following demolition of the existing school and associated landscaping. The applicant was advised by officers that the proposal was acceptable in principle and the scheme could be supported subject to detailed design, the mitigation of any adverse impacts on neighbour amenity and demonstration that the proposal would not have a harmful impact on the highway network. 3.1 98/02174/FUL – Planning permission was granted 22.12.1998 for the erection of a single storey building to provide two classrooms and a laboratory; and in retrospect, erection of a single storey store building. 4 CONSULATIONS 4.0 Statutory Consultees Environment Agency No objection, site covered by flood risk standing advice. 4.1 Other Consultees Clapham Society - No reply to date. 4.2 Adjoining owners/occupiers A site notice was displayed from 03.04.2015 to 24.04.2015 and the application was advertised in the local paper (Lambeth Weekender) on 03.04.2015. The formal consultation period ended on 24.04.2015. In response to consultation 8 letters of representation have been submitted. 8 letters of objections were received from the occupiers. A summary of the concerns raised is set out below: Summary of objections Response Land Use The school and its facilities would be available to the See para. 6.0.7 local community to use. Neither details of costs nor a business plan has been provided so it is quite possible that the proposed benefits would be unaffordable. Design The imposing exterior wall cornering Combermere Road See para 6.2.7 and Dalyell Road is terrible, It will date and colour-face very quickly, and will not blend with or compliment neighbouring structures.

  • Education and Learning Strategy 2018/22
    Education and Learning Strategy 2018/22 101240 (10.18) Welcome Welcome to Lambeth’s Education and Learning Strategy 2018–22 which looks ahead to the next few years and outlines our shared ambition for our learners of all ages. It has been developed in partnership between schools, other educational establishments and the Council. We want Lambeth to continue to be at the forefront of change and improvement in education, retaining good relationships between education providers and the Council and building on our collective strengths and achievements. We have strong partnerships between schools, colleges, neighbouring authorities, families, local communities and the Council that enable us to work towards securing an autonomous and self- improving education system. This commitment to raising standards is supported by a sound infrastructure of early years provision in our childcare, nursery school and children centre provision. Our charter for education and learning encapsulates our aspirations and ways of working together (see appendix 1, page 8). The overwhelming majority of Lambeth schools have chosen to retain their close working relationship with the Council. In 2017 the Lambeth Schools Partnership was launched to sustain high quality outcomes and excellent teaching and learning across the borough. The partnership is united in its vision that schools and other education settings should build on an existing culture of collaborative working to enable all the borough’s children and young people to experience the best possible education opportunities, outcomes and life chances. This Strategy is aligned to the overall role of the Council in supporting growth, improving community resilience, enhancing place and providing support to the vulnerable.

  • GW1 Green Screens Programme PDF 251 KB
    OFFICER DELEGATED DECISION REPORT Report title: School Green Screens Programme Wards: All Portfolio: Councillor Claire Holland, Deputy Leader of the Council (Sustainable Transport, Environment and Clean Air) Report Authorised by: Sara Waller / Eleanor Purser, Strategic Director for Sustainable Growth and Opportunity Contact for enquiries: Leena Khatri, Sustainability Technical Officer, [email protected], 020 7926 0525 Report summary The current administration’s 2018 manifesto committed to install green screens at Lambeth schools on a main road. This report considers progress to date and recommends the programme to deliver against this ambition by May 2022. In recent years, green screens have been built at St Anne’s Primary and Stockwell Primary School, as part of the Mayor’s Air Quality School Audit programme, and also at Wyvil Primary, St Helen’s Primary, Corpus Christi Catholic Primary, Loughborough Primary, St John the Divine Primary, Oasis Johanna Primary, and Rosendale Primary. This report sets out proposals to install green screens at additional schools in Lambeth and explains the reasons why green screens are being recommended at certain schools. Table 1 lists schools in Lambeth which have not been selected for a green screen and the reasons why. An overview plan and list of schools included in the current green screen programme is set out in Table 2 of this report. Finance summary The total maximum cost of the school green screens programme is estimated to be £350,000. This cost can be met from the capital budget for Energy, Flood Prevention and Climate Change response infrastructure agreed by Cabinet in July 2020. If required, contributions could also be sourced from the capital budget for Transport and Public Realm agreed in July 2020 or from grant funding that becomes available for these measures.

  • Education and Learning Strategy 2015/18
    Education and Learning Strategy 2015/18 10776 (4.15) Welcome Welcome to Lambeth’s Education and Learning Strategy 2015/18 which looks ahead to the next few years and outlines our shared ambition for our learners of all ages. It has been developed in partnership between schools and other educational establishments and the Council. Lambeth has come a long way in raising standards for its learners. Ten years ago it was near the bottom of the national league tables. Now the borough is one of the highest performing areas in the country for the attainment of pupils at GCSE; it is above national averages at all key stages for most groups of pupils and our special school and alternative education provision is all judged to be ‘good’ or better. Ninety percent of all our overall education provision is judged good or better. Lambeth Adult Learning & Morley College are judged ‘Good‘ and Lambeth College is ‘improving’. This change has come about because of strong local leadership, an investment in the education estate and learning environments; the creation of sustainable learning communities – for example the move to all-through primary schools and the development of federations of small schools; the investment in our teachers and school leaders, believing they are the key to improvement of outcomes for learners and a continued investment by the Council in high quality school improvement advice, research, data and relevant traded services. We believe that strong schools and settings are essential to strong communities, local community cohesion, economic growth and healthy societies. We want Lambeth to continue to be at the forefront of change and improvement in education, retaining good relationships between early years providers, schools, further education and the Council, building on our collective strengths and achievements.
