This report has been prepared in accordance with current Department for Transport (DfT) and Transport for London (TfL) guidance. It will therefore be used as a basis from which to agree terms of any planning agreement, including conditions or planning obligations relating to the proposed measures identified within this document. 1.2 SITE DESCRIPTION The existing Site is located on the to the east of Dingwall Road, close to East Croydon Station as illustrated in Figure 1-1. The Site is currently owned by Bellway. Figure 1-1 - Site Location The Site is located on the western edge of Croydon Opportunity Area, identified in the Local and Strategic Plan for growth, intensification and tall buildings. The Site is currently vacant. The previous Job Centre building located on the Site was demolished in 2019 following the approval of detailed planning permission (LPA Ref: 17/06327/FUL) for the construction of two buildings ranging from 9 to 24 storeys to provide 181 new residential dwellings. 17-21 DINGWALL ROAD PUBLIC | WSP Project No.: 70081934 | Our Ref No.: 001 May 2021 Bellway Homes Limited Page 1 of 35 This planning application follows the established principles of extant consent permission while making several key alterations to enable the scheme to be built and delivered. The Site is located on Dingwall Road and is bordered by Carolyn House (22-26 Dingwall Road) and No.26 Apartment (26 Dingwall Road) to the north, Renaissance House to the south and the existing office building known as Southern House to the west. Dingwall Road provides the eastern boundary and opposite the Site is the Ruskin Square development area. 1.3 PLANNING HISTORY Detailed planning permission (LPA Ref: 17/06327/FUL) was granted on the site in 29th October 2018 for the following development proposals. “Full planning application for a residential-led mixed use development ranging in height from 9 (ground plus 8 levels) to 24 storeys (ground plus 23 levels), containing 181 residential units (88 no. 1 bed units, 81 no. 2 bed units, 12 no. 3 bed units) with flexible commercial space at ground, first and second floor level, 8 no. disabled access car parking spaces, cycle parking, and associated amenity space, hard and soft landscaping”. Bellway purchased the site following approval of the above planning permission. A comprehensive detailed design and technical review was undertaken of the original permission which highlighted buildability, technical and fire related issues which needed to be addressed in order for the scheme to be delivered. As a result, several amendments have been made to the original permission to date to try and address these issues sufficiently, including alterations to the façade, the ground and first floor and the podium deck. Despite the amendments made to the original permission as set out above, there remains serious concerns about the deliverability and buildability of the scheme in its current form which must be resolved in order for the scheme to come forward. As a result, Bellay have made the decision to submit a new detailed planning application to address the outstanding issues in order for the scheme to be delivered. 1.4 DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS The principles of the forthcoming application will remain aligned with the previous scheme iteration, though the proposals seek to increase the development on the site and will comprise 197 residential dwellings together with an offering of commercial /retail space. The design principles focus on enhancing sustainability and promoting healthy lifestyles. In line with this strategy, it is proposed to deliver a car-free development with a provision of blue badge car parking at a reduced ratio of 0.03 spaces per dwelling. This will be supported by a wide-ranging and ambitious suite of sustainable travel measures, as set out in the accompanying Framework Travel Plan. Cycle parking spaces will be provided in line with The London Plan (2021) standards where possible given the Site constraints. This was discussed and agreed with LBC as part of the pre-application process. The Proposed Development description is as follows: “Full planning application for residential development ranging in height from 9 (ground plus 8 levels) to 25 storeys (ground plus 24 levels), containing 197 residential units, with flexible 17-21 DINGWALL ROAD PUBLIC | WSP Project No.: 70081934 | Our Ref No.: 001 May 2021 Bellway Homes Limited Page 2 of 35 commercial space at ground floor (use class E), disabled car parking spaces, cycle parking, and associated amenity space, hard and soft landscaping.” 1.5 TRAVEL PLAN OVERVIEW TfL, in their latest guidance, define a Travel Plan as ‘a long-term management strategy for an existing or proposed development that seeks to integrate proposals for increasing sustainable travel by the future occupier(s) into the planning process and is articulated in a document that is to be regularly reviewed by the future occupier(s) of the site’. A Travel Plan involves identifying an appropriate package of measures aimed at promoting sustainable travel, with an emphasis on ‘promoting alternatives to the car’. A Travel Plan should establish a structured strategy with clear objectives and targets, supported by suitable policies and quality measures for implementation. Whilst the location of a development, its physical design and proximity to facilities and services create the conditions to make sustainable travel choices a natural option communicating these opportunities to occupiers is also critical to the success of the travel plan. The Travel Plan is essentially a ‘living document’ requiring monitoring, review and revision to ensure it remains relevant to the organisation and those using the Site and provides continuous improvements for its duration. These aspirations and actions should be documented in a travel plan, the structure and content of which are dependent upon a range of factors including the location and nature of development, the occupiers and the end users.
