4

How can I get a copy of any reports to be considered by PAC?

The officer reports on applications to be considered are circulated to PAC Members and published on the Council’s website a week before the meeting. Papers for meetings can be

viewed at: http://www.lambeth.gov.uk/moderngov/uuCoverPage.asp?bcr=1. Hard copies are

• Sent to the relevant case officer listed on the front page of the officer report

preferably by email.

7

Does the PAC consider applications in the order listed on the agenda?

Not necessarily. The order of business is determined at the meeting taking into consideration:
(a) Whether an application has been withdrawn or officers are recommending deferral

(b) Whether an application has been deferred from a previous meeting or has been the subject of a site visit.

(c) The level of interest on an application. (d) Whether applicants/supporters/objectors/Ward Members have any special requirements

8

What is the process for considering an application at the meeting?

Officers will introduce each application with a brief Powerpoint presentation which will usually include drawings and photographs of the application site. The Committee will then hear from and question all interested parties. The merits of the application are considered taking into account the views of the interested parties and planning officers before the committee reaches a decision.

9

What time does the meeting come to an end?

The meeting will be conducted in a business like fashion and the Committee will endeavour to deal with reports as quickly as possible.

However if there is a lot of outstanding business at 9.00 pm the Chair will advise the meeting if and how the timetable for the meeting has to be revised, in order to deal with remaining business and finish the meeting at 10.00 pm. At 10.00 pm the meeting will decide which business can be completed by 10.45 pm and any business not reached by that time will be deferred to the next meeting.

10

Site visits are arranged by Planning Officers to allow the Committee and Ward Members to view the site and its surroundings and to seek clarification. However, the merits of the application

are not discussed.

11

When do site visits take place?

Site visits usually take place on the Saturday morning immediately preceding the committee at which the application is to be considered. If you have already made written representations to the Planning Service about the application, you will be notified of the date and time of the site visit. The site visit is a good opportunity for any interested parties to explain the impact of the development.

12

If I am unable to attend the PAC meeting, how can I find out the decision?

You can find out the decision by contacting Democratic Services the day after the meeting. The minutes from the meeting will also be available on the Council’s website 5 clear working days after the meeting.

5DE (OVAL WARD) (11/01009/FUL)

David Boardman, Kennington Association Planning Forum, addressed the committee and made a number of points including that:
• The benefits outweighed the risks even allowing for the Health

and Safety Executive’s concerns.
• There were employment and leisure benefits.

Page 3

• The conditions would protect the amenity and safety of residents.

• He supported the application.
Members examined the concerns expressed by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). In discussion a number of Members expressed the view that the report presented a very thorough examination of the HSE’s concerns and that it demonstrated clearly why it was appropriate to approve the application. In relation to this Members also discussed recent applications where the HSE had expressed concerns such as at the Oval Cricket Ground and Ram Brewery. The implications of going against the HSE’s recommendation were also discussed.

The Committee also examined other issues, including:
• The design of the stairwell including decoration.

• Whether the HSE could call-in the decision.

• The general lack of opposition recorded from residents apart from representations regarding transport matters.

• Transport issues and access arrangements including the transport management plan.

• The need to guard against a gradual reduction in industrial production on the site and the need not to set a precedent in respect of on-compliant uses on Key Industrial Business Area (KIBA) land.

MOVED by Councillor Diana Morris, SECONDED by Councillor Ruth Ling and it was:

RESOLVED: That the application be approved subject to the conditions and a Section 106 agreement as outlined in the report and with the addition of an informative confirming the ancillary nature of the development being approved in relation to the main industrial use of the site.

(11/04511/FUL)

During the officer introduction Members attention was drawn to the

Page 4

addendum to the report including some possible changes to conditions.

David Taylor, Herne Hill Forum, addressed the Committee. He reported that a number of concerns had been expressed by residents but that these had in general been dealt with through changes to the scheme and so he now supported the application. However, he requested that the allocation of Section 106 monies be re-examined and for residents to be involved in discussions. He further noted that the Forum still wished to raise the issue of the bus stop location with Transport for London but that this was not specifically part of this application.

The applicants addressed the Committee and highlighted a number of issues including:
• The consultation processes that had taken place and the

positive responses from residents.
• The new pedestrian link and public realm improvements.

• A request that the servicing hours be extended. • That the number of disabled parking spaces met the requirement and was adequate.

• The roof terrace and privacy and noise issues relating to the roof access.

Responding to questions the Conservation Officer confirmed her view that the design was appropriate for a Conservation Area.

Members discussed the application and looked at the Section 106 allocations including whether it would be appropriate to re-allocate some of the funding towards local library provision and also whether Brockwell Passage did not in fact need any funding and also that Section 106 monies were designed to mitigate the specific impact of the development. They also discussed issues around the delivery times and the potential impact on students living on the site.
