KEY ISSUES FOR CONSIDERATION

Summary of main issues

18 The main issues to be considered in respect of this application are:

a) the principle of the development in terms of land use and conformity with strategic policies.

b) impact on amenity

c) appearance and design

Planning policy

Southwark Plan 2007 (July)

19 1.7 Development within town and local centres 3.2 Protection of amenity 3.12 Quality in design 3.13: Urban design 3.18: Setting of listed buildings, conservation areas and world heritage sites 5.2 Transport impacts 7.4 Bankside and Borough Action Area

London Plan 2008 consolidated with alterations since 2004 20 None relevant.

Core Strategy

21 The Council submitted the draft Core Strategy to the Secretary of State on 26 March 2010 and the Examination in Public hearings took place in July 2010. The Core Strategy policies should be considered as currently having no weight when determining planning applications as they are awaiting the Inspector's report and his finding of soundness. Applications should continue to be determined pending receipt of the Inspector's report primarily in accordance the saved policies in the Southwark Plan 2007 and the London Plan 2008.

22 The Inspector's report on the Core Strategy is expected in October 2010. With a recommendation of soundness from the inspector there will be a very high degree of certainty that the Core Strategy will be adopted and that a number of existing Southwark Plan policies will be replaced. In view of this, on publication of the inspector's report, all core strategy policies should be given significant weight in determining planning applications. Less weight should be given to existing policies which are soon to be replaced. Formal adoption of the core strategy is expected in January 2011.

Planning Policy Guidance (PPG) and Planning Policy Statements (PPS)

23 PPG24 Planning and Noise

Principle of development

24 The installation of plant is proposed in connection with the existing lawful use of the site by the Metropolitan Police Service. The principle of extensions/alterations in connection with an existing use in the town centre is considered to be acceptable, and the acceptability of this specific scheme will depend on assessment of impact on amenity and appearance/design including having had regard to the setting of listed buildings nearby. These matters are assessed below.

Environmental impact assessment

25 A Screening Opinion was not requested prior to the submission of the application as the scheme is not Schedule 1 development. It could be considered to fall within Schedule 2, as works ancillary to an existing established urban development project. Having reference to the Column 2 criteria, the site area does not exceed the initial threshold of 0.5ha. In addition it has been determined that the development is unlikely to have a significant effect upon the environment by virtue of its nature, size or location based upon a review of the Schedule 3 selection criteria for screening Schedule 2 Development. The site is a brownfield site in an inner London location, and is located outside of a sensitive area as per Regulation 2(1) and the development is unlikely to generate any significant environmental effects. Therefore an Environmental Impact Assessment is not required.

Impact of proposed development on amenity of adjoining occupiers and surrounding area

26 The main impact on amenity, having regard to policy 3.2 Protection of amenity, is in relation to noise and disturbance from the operation of the plant. The application was accompanied by a noise assessment which was reviewed by the Council’s Environmental Protection Team.

27 Concerns had been raised by objectors on Trinity St and Kings Place to the scheme about noise impacts. In particular, a resident on Kings Place was concerned that the measurements by the applicant of existing background noise levels had been measured from within the application site, rather than from Kings Place or other positions where noise from the plant might potentially be experienced. Other concerns from Trinity Street residents expressed no objection to the principle of refurbishments or works of improvement to the operation of the premises but raised concerns about the impacts especially at night, and concern that no acoustic screening appeared to be proposed.

28 The Council's Environmental Protection Team were asked specifically to address the impacts of the installation and operation of the plant, taking into account the concerns about lack of screening and the measurement methodology used by the applicant. The applicant's acoustician advised that the plant noise referred to in the report was primarily from the building to the north of the application site. The distance between the measurement location and the plant is about the same as the distance between the plant and premises on Trinity Street, if not more. This means that the background noise at Trinity Street would be expected to be more. With respect to Kings Place, this would be affected by road traffic to a greater degree than the measurement location and again, one would expect higher background sound levels.

29 Officers therefore consider that the information submitted by the applicant demonstrates that the operation of the plant could be carried out without harm to the amenities of surrounding occupiers, subject to compliance with a condition of consent which should be imposed if consent is granted. The condition would require the submission of a report addressing the noise levels from operation of the plant one month after its installation, to verify that the levels accord with the Council's guidelines for plant and equipment,. The condition refers to background noise levels and can take into account the need for further mitigation such as the installation of acoustic screening, if it is required, to further reduce noise levels.

30 The location of the proposed plant is at the southern end of the site, well away from the listed buildings on Trinity St, and officers are of the view that if acoustic screening were required to be installed to comply with the levels specified in the condition, there would be no consequent harm to visual amenity.

31 It is considered that subject to conditions, the scheme would not harm the amenities of surrounding occupiers.

Impact of adjoining and nearby uses on occupiers and users of proposed development

32 None.

Traffic issues

33 None as the installation and maintenance of the plant would be unlikely to result in a volume of transport impacts such as to harm the safe and efficient operation of the highway.

Design issues

34 The proposed plant has been sited so as to minimise the impact on the appearance of the building and the impact when viewed from surrounding sites.

35 Officers are satisfied that the three most prominent roof level units which would be located on an existing first floor flat roof will be relatively well obscured by the roof parapet and should thereby have minimal visual impact upon the setting of nearby Grade II Listed buildings, numbers 2 - 12(evens) Trinity Street) approximately 50m form the proposed site. The two units which would be wall/floor mounted on an external wall with the rear service yard and a further unit which would be located on the roof above ground floor level would be visible only within the site and officers are satisfied that they would not harm the appearance of the existing buildings.

36 As outlined under 'amenity' above, if acoustic screening is considered to be necessary to comply with the noise levels set out in the recommended condition of consent, any such screening would not harm the appearance of the existing buildings or the surrounding area taking into account the location of the proposed plant.

37 The scheme is considered to be in accordance with policies 3.12 and 3.13 of the Southwark Plan 2007.

Impact on character and setting of a listed building and/or conservation area

38 The proposed plant would be located on the building at the southern end of the site, well away from the listed buildings on Trinity St. Officers consider that the scheme would preserve the setting of these listed buildings, in accordance with policy 3.18 Setting of listed buildings, conservation areas and world heritage sites.

Impact on trees

39 None.

Planning obligations (S.106 undertaking or agreement)

40 None required.

Sustainable development implications

41 None.

Other matters 42 None.

Conclusion on planning issues

43 The principle of the plant is considered to be acceptable as it relates to an existing lawful use of the site Impacts in terms of amenity are considered to be acceptable subject to the mitigation measures which would be secured by way of a condition if consent is granted. The siting of the plant is considered to be unobtrusive, and would preserve the setting of the adjoining listed buildings. Consent is recommended subject to conditions.

Community impact statement

44 In line with the Council's Community Impact Statement the impact of this application has been assessed as part of the application process with regard to local people in respect of their age, disability, faith/religion, gender, race and ethnicity and sexual orientation. Consultation with the community has been undertaken as part of the application process.

a) The impact on local people is set out above.

b) The following issues relevant to particular communities/groups likely to be affected by the proposal have been identified as: none

c) The likely adverse or less good implications for any particular communities/groups have been also been discussed above. Specific actions to ameliorate these implications are: none required

Consultations

45 Details of consultation and any re-consultation undertaken in respect of this application are set out in Appendix 1.

Consultation replies

46 Details of consultation responses received are set out in Appendix 2.

Summary of consultation responses 47 Three objections received, raising concerns about the impacts of the scheme in terms of noise especially at night, and the methodology used by the applicant in relation to measurement and assessment of noise impacts.

Human rights implications

48 This planning application engages certain human rights under the Human Rights Act 2008 (the HRA). The HRA prohibits unlawful interference by public bodies with conventions rights. The term ’engage’ simply means that human rights may be affected or relevant.

49 This application has the legitimate aim of providing for ancillary plant in connection with lawful use of the site as a police station. The rights potentially engaged by this application, including the right to a fair trial and the right to respect for private and family life are not considered to be unlawfully interfered with by this proposal.

None

Neighbours and local groups

Three objections received:

Kings Place resident - concerned about noise levels from the three heat pumps adjacent to the Kings Place buildings - additional noise in an already noisy area - concern about the methodology for noise assessment used by the applicant (conducted from south east facade of the building whereas Kings Place residents are located on the south west side - concern that there is no acoustic screening proposed

10 Trinity St - concern about noise from the operation of the plant - we would wish the units to be inaudible at night time

Flat 4, 18 Trinity St - no objection in principle to improvements to the quality of the police station facilities but have specific concerns as follows: - concern that the noise meter used by the applicant was not placed 1m away from the facade of Flat 4; and concern that the alternative position used was not representative of the noise levels adjacent to Flat 4 - the target level is designed to meet minimum standards but we would want to see significant improvement on the minimum standard as the main bedroom overlooks the rear courtyard of the police station - concern that the plant would be fully exposed on areas of flat roof with no acoustic screening to help to reduce noise outbreak
