  • Railway Wharf, Down Hall Road, Kingston Upon Thames
    KINGSTON TOWN PLANNING SUB-COMMITTEE 4 JULY 2012 PLANNING CONSULTATION (11/12131/FUL): RAILWAY WHARF, DOWN HALL ROAD, KINGSTON UPON THAMES REPORT BY THE INTERIM HEAD OF PLANNING SUMMARY 1. This report seeks the Sub-Committee's views on application 11/12131/FUL for the permanent residential moorings for two boats prior to consideration of the application by the Development Control Committee. 2. This application was presented to the Kingston Town Planning Sub Committee on the 25 th May 2011 and was subsequently approved by the Development Control Committee on the 9 th June 2011. The decision was challenged by means of Judicial Review on the basis of a procedural matter, which was upheld, resulting in the decision on the planning application being quashed and leading to a requirement for the planning application to be reconsidered. 3. The application is still under consideration and although the period set aside for consultation responses has expired, some may still be received. Further information will be circulated to the Sub-Committee following an assessment upon the receipt of any further consultation responses. The proposal raises a number of considerations which are set out below in the main body of the report. RECOMMENDATION It is RECOMMENDED that the Sub-Committee express its views on the application so that the Development Control Committee can consider them when it determines this planning application. REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION To enable the Neighbourhood’s views to be considered SITE AND SURROUNDINGS 1. The application site concerns two moorings located to the north of and adjacent to Kingston Railway Bridge and the riverside car park off Down Hall Road.
