6 DEVELOPMENT SPECIFICATION 2. THE PLANNING APPLICATIONS

2.1 Nature and Type of Planning Applications

2.1.1 The proposed development for the Earls Court Site comprises two Planning Applications. Technically both planning applications are submitted in outline form. These are:

 Planning Application 1: this relates only to land within RBKC.

 Planning Application 2: this relates almost entirely to land within LBHF, but also includes a small area of land (0.38 hectares) within RBKC.

2.1.2 The planning application boundaries are defined on Figures 1 and 2 in the previous section.

2.1.3 Both applications seek approval of details given at this stage, for:

 Access – detail on the accessibility to the Site for vehicles, cycles and pedestrians in terms of positioning and treatment of access and how these fit into the surrounding existing access network.

 Amount, and use, of development – the amount of development proposed for each land use.

2.1.4 Both applications subdivide the Site into a number of development plots (each plot has a specific reference number – refer to Appendix 1). With the exception of Development Plots WV01, WV02 and WV05 (in relation to which see 2.1.5 below), both applications reserve for subsequent approval: scale, layout, appearance and landscaping. However, the applications set out and seek approval for the maximum and minimum height, width and length of development plots by way of Parameter Plans. The Parameter Plans, for which approval is sought, also set out the location of principal open space areas, the hierarchy of primary and secondary routes and the maximum area of below ground/basement space. Further, the applications include and seek approval of Design Guidelines, by which future reserved matters applications relating to scale, layout as well as appearance and landscaping will come forward. The Design Guidelines provide additional detail to the Parameter Plans in relation to the layout of development plots. The Design Guidelines also provide rules which control aspects of appearance and landscaping. The Parameter Plans and Design Guidelines are explained in Section 2.4.

2.1.5 In respect of Development Plots WV01, WV02 and WV05, Application 1 also seeks approval of details given at this stage, for:

 Scale – the height, width and length of each building.

 Appearance – the visual impression made by each building, including the external built form of the development and its architecture.

 Layout – the siting of buildings, routes and open spaces.

15 DEVELOPMENT SPECIFICATION 3. DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS

3.1 By virtue of the two planning applications, there is the theoretical possibility for different development options. Numerically the options are: (i) combination of Applications 1 and 2; (ii) Application 1 only; and (iii) Application 2 only. It is the Applicant’s intention at this time to fully implement both planning applications for the Earls Court Site. The Applicant also wishes to retain the potential for Planning Application 1 to be implemented in its own right as a self-standing development. However, this is not the case with Application 2. Due to the nature of the proposed development, the Applicant does not propose to implement Application 2 on a standalone basis. In this context, the Applicant accepts and envisages planning conditions and Section 106 obligations being imposed to limit the implementation of development to the options set out below. It is these two options which have been assessed in terms of Environmental Impact Assessment and within all planning application documents.

3.2 The two Development Options are:

 Site Wide Development Option: this option relates to the whole of the Earls Court Site. It results from the combination of Planning Applications 1 and 2 as illustrated in Figure 3 below.

Figure 3 – Site Wide Development Option

 RBKC Only Development Option: this option relates to the scheme proposals within RBKC. It comprises the implementation of Planning Application 1 only as illustrated on Figure 4 below. Although only part of the existing Earls Court Exhibition Centre falls within the red line boundary of Application 1, the implementation of the RBKC Only Development Option assumes the demolition of the Exhibition Centre in its entirety (including EC1 and EC2).

16 DEVELOPMENT SPECIFICATION

Figure 4 – RBKC Only Development Option

3.3 Details of the total proposed floorspace for each land use and number of residential units for Site Wide Development Option are contained at Appendix 6. The proposals for RBKC Only Development Option are explained in Section 5, Development Description – Application 1, below.

3.4 The Site Wide Development Option includes the comprehensive redevelopment and regeneration of the West Kensington and Gibbs Green housing estates. The majority of homes will be reprovided within the Earls Court Site. However, the Development Option includes a portion of replacement homes being delivered as part of the Applicant’s planning application for the redevelopment of the Seagrave Road Car Park (refer to the Housing Statement and Section 6.5 of this document for further information).

7.3.2 Drawing reference number ECM2-SK-P03-103_A provides information on existing site levels within the site for Application 2 and drawing reference number ECM2- PA-03-107_A shows the proposed site levels.

7.3.3 Site levels are subject to landscaping conditions so some variation would be allowed. This is explained in greater detail within the Design Guidelines.

7.4 Details of Layout

7.4.1 The Town and County Planning (Development Management Procedure) Order 2010 requires that, where layout is a reserved matter, “the application for outline planning permission shall state the approximate location of buildings, routes and open spaces included in the development proposed”.

7.4.2 Applications 1 and 2 only seek outline approval, at this stage, for layout therefore the routes and open spaces are provided, situated and orientated in relation to a series of development plots and parameters. In due course a series of buildings will be designed within each development plot and submitted for approval as part of the reserved matters.

7.4.3 The various layout plans provide details at ground, below ground / basement floor level.

7.4.4 Drawing reference numbers ECM2-SK-P03-005_A for the RBKC Only Development Option and ECM2-SK-P03-017_A for the Site Wide Development Option of Application 1 and drawing reference number ECM2-SK-P03-106_A for Application 2 define the boundaries of each development plot. The boundaries shown on these plans are the maximum extent of areas within which new buildings are proposed.

7.4.5 Drawing reference numbers ECM2-SK-P03-008_A for the RBKC Only Development Option and ECM2-SK-P03-020_A for the Site Wide Development Option of Application 1 and drawing reference number ECM2-SK-P03-109_A for Application 2 define the layout of the maximum extent of development below ground.

7.4.6 Drawing reference numbers ECM2-SK-P03-007_A for the RBKC Only Development Option and ECM2-SK-P03-019_A for the Site Wide Development Option of Application 1 and drawing reference number ECM2-SK-P03-108_A for Application 2 define the areas of open space between development plots. As a

37 DEVELOPMENT SPECIFICATION consequence of the maximum extent of the development plots being shown, the open space shown is the minimum that could be provided. If the detailed design of any building does not extend to the maximum width or length of the development plot, then it is anticipated that the open space will enlarge to that extent.

7.4.7 The minimum quantum, type and form of open space is explained and defined in the Design Guidelines.

7.5 Scale Parameters

7.5.1 The Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) Order 2010 requires that, where scale is a reserved matter, “the application for outline planning permission shall state the upper and lower limit for height, width and length of each building included in the proposed development”.

7.5.2 Circular 01/2006 Guidance on Changes to the Development Control System states that for outline applications which reserve scale, the application should provide in any event ‘and indication of the upper and lower limits for height, width and length of each building within the site boundary’ (paragraph 52), ‘to establish a 3- dimensional building envelope within which the detailed design of the buildings will be constructed’ (paragraph 89).

7.5.3 The above information is provided through a combination of the Parameter Plans and Part 5 of the Design Guidelines. The following information is provided through the parameter plans:

Development Plot Plan (ECM2-SK-P03-005_A & ECM2-SK-P03-106_A)

7.5.4 Defines the maximum extent of built development in terms of width and length of development plots.

This arm will provide for left in only access from Warwick Road.  Provision of a new 4m wide site egress arm from the site onto Warwick Road located approximately 40m further along Warwick Road from the entrance arm described above. This arm will provide for left out only egress from the site onto Warwick road  New 10m wide toucan crossing on Warwick Road located centrally between the access and egress arm described above.  Raising the carriageway level of Warwick Road between the access and egress arms to match the footway levels via subtle slopes on Warwick Road laid to a gradient no steeper than 1 in 100.  Public realm improvement including the removal of the railings across the EC1 forecourt and de- cluttering

OLD BROMPTON ROAD – PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT ACCESS The proposed improvements are:  Provision of a new 6m wide all movements site access road in the location of the existing EC1 forecourt access.  Public realm improvement including the removal of the railings across the EC1 forecourt and de- cluttering OLD BROMPTON ROAD/LILLIE ROAD – BETWEEN OLD BROMPTON STATION AND ONGAR ROAD The proposed improvements are:  Narrowing of the carriageway to 6m across Lillie Bridge between and Seagrave Road  Widening of north and south footways across Lillie Bridge between West Brompton Station and Seagrave Road  Widening of footway across the frontage of West Brompton Station by closing and filling in the existing lay by  Provision of a new 7m wide toucan crossing across Old Brompton Road  Widening of the footway on the north side of Lillie Road between Empress Place and the new proposed site access/egress junction into the Broadway.  Public realm improvements eg. De-cluttering

LILLIE ROAD – PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT ACCESS OPPOSITE ONGAR ROAD The proposed improvements are:  Provision of a new 6m wide all movements site access arm which forms “The Broadway” north south link through the development area.  New road markings in Lillie Road to provide a right turn lane into the Broadway whilst maintaining uninhibited traffic flow to the eastbound and westbound traffic on Lillie Road  Relocation of existing eastbound bus stop on Lillie Road 5m further West  Public Realm improvements

LILLIE ROAD – PROPOSED DEVLOPMENT ACCESS 100M EAST OF NORTH END ROAD The proposed improvements are:  Provision of new 6m wide all movements site access egress arm  Flared egress radius with shared surface treatment on left turn to all for exiting buses to over-run when exiting the site onto eastbound Lillie Road  Public Realm improvements eg. De-cluttering

LILLIE ROAD/NORTH END ROAD JUNCTION The proposed improvements are:  Replacement of the existing double mini roundabout junction with a new all movements signal controlled cross roads  Provision of new controlled pedestrian crossings on all four arms of the new junction.  Public Realm improvements and extensive de-cluttering such as the removal of existing guard railing. NORTH END ROAD/THAXTON ROAD The proposed improvements are:  Reducing the radii on each side of the Thaxton Road arm to vastly increase the footway on each side of the junction  Public realm improvements

NORTH END ROAD BETWEEN THAXTON ROAD AND MAY STREET The proposed improvements are:  Raising the road level of Lillie Road for approximately a 40m length, centred on Star Road, to match the footway levels via subtle slopes on Lillie Road laid to a gradient no steeper than 1 in 100.

 New 4m wide toucan crossing located on raised section to the north of Star Road

 New “informal” pedestrian crossing to the South of Star Road with new central traffic island to create a central pedestrian refuge.

 Public realm improvements

NORTH END ROAD – PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT ACCESS OPPOSITE STAR ROAD The proposed improvements are:  Provision of a new 6m wide all movements site access egress arm on the east of North End Road  Subtle raising of the carriageway level on the High Street on the approach to North End Road via a slope laid to no steeper than 1 in 100 to match the raised road level as described above.  Raising of Star Road carriageway level on the approach to North End Road to match raised level as described above via a slope laid to no steeper than 1 in 20.  Public realm improvements eg. Planters

NORTH END ROAD – PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT ACCESS OPPOSITE MAY STREET The proposed improvements are:  Provision of a new 5.5m wide all movements site access egress arm on the west side of North End Road.  Public realm improvements

NORTH END ROAD/BEAUMONT AVENUE The proposed improvements are:  Narrowing of Beaumont Avenue, approximately 20m into the site, from the 8m existing bell mouth down to a 5.5m carriageway width.  Public realm improvements including extensive de-cluttering on North End Road DEVELOPMENT SPECIFICATION APPENDIX 4
