EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 The proposals involve the re-development of a frontage site through the demolition of vacant housing and a previously developed back-land site which comprises a derelict garage block. The site has been under used for a period of time, the buildings are in a poor state and the open areas are overgrown. 1.2 The proposed scheme is able to increase the number of dwellings on site in a manner that is consistent with the character of the area by providing new accommodation in the form of one frontage building (block A) and one subordinate building (block B) to the rear of the site. It would also improve the appearance of an unkempt site by delivering a high quality housing scheme as well as enhancing biodiversity and sustainable drainage. Officers also acknowledge the principle of re- developing this site with a greater quantum of development. 1.3 The proposal offers a range of dwelling sizes providing an appropriate dwelling mix. The submission has been accompanied with a viability report and sound financial justification has been provided in response seeking the maximum reasonable amount of affordable housing. 1.4 Whilst proposing a greater quantum of built development in comparison to the existing buildings it would not materially prejudice the amenity of neighbouring occupiers in terms of the existing levels of privacy, outlook and natural daylight and sunlight they currently enjoy. 1.5 It is considered the scheme would provide an acceptable living environment for future occupiers in terms of accommodation size, outlook, light and amenity space provision. The scheme would not unduly harm conditions of on-street parking or prejudice conditions for the free flow of traffic and highway safety. 1.6 Officers consider that the development would be in compliance with the Development Plan for the Borough and there are no material considerations of sufficient weight that would dictate that the application should otherwise be refused. The scheme would deliver a scheme that would positively contribute to this part of Streatham High Road and not harm identified heritage assets. Officers are therefore recommending approval of the scheme, subject to conditions and the completion of a Section 106 Legal Agreement in accordance with the presumption in favour of sustainable development conferred upon Local Planning Authorities by the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). 2. SITE DESCRIPTION 2.1 This 0.19ha site is situated on the western side of Streatham High Road. It is within the Streatham South Ward. Existing upon the site are 14 derelict garages and two vacant pairs of semi detached dwellings (Nos. 604-610), comprising 4x 3 bedroom semi detached houses in total. The vacant garages are accessed via a driveway to the south-east of the site in between the adjoining Shirley Court and Marqueen Towers. This access-way is not in use. The garages are single storey in height and the houses are part single and part 2 storeys in height. 2.2 The adjoining property to the east at Nos. 612-618 Streatham High Road is occupied by a 5 storey residential property containing ten residential flats known as Marqueen Towers. This property has a communal amenity space to the rear, which shares a boundary with the site. To the south-east is Shirley Court which is a 3 storey building. Shirley Court is situated on the corner of Streatham High Road and Colmer Road and this property is in commercial use at ground floor and residential use on the two upper floors. Adjoining the site to the south is a terrace of two storey houses which front Colmer Road. To the west are eight no. two-storey terrace properties in residential use (Nos. 2-16 Danbrook Road (evens)). To the north of the site are 7 no. two-storey houses which front Rochester Close (Nos. 1-7) and a detached house at No. 602 Streatham High Road. Beyond is No. 600 Streatham High Road an undesignated heritage asset on the local heritage list. 2.3 The site is situated within an archaeological priority area as designated by Historic England. It is located in Flood Zone 1 (low probability of river flooding) as defined by maps held by the Environment Agency. It is also located within a Local View under the Local Plan defined as: ‘south west of the ‘views from Streatham Common/The Rookery across Wandle Valley; towards Pollards Hill and the North Downs’. The site is not situated in a Conservation Area, however the Streatham Lodge Conservation Area (CA62) is located to the north east of the site. It is located behind the frontage buildings on Streatham High Road and Green Lane. 2.4 The site is situated on Streatham High Road which forms part of a Transport for London (TfL) red route (A23). The site has good access to public transport, with a public transport accessibility level (PTAL) of 4. The site is served by a number of bus routes and Norbury Railway Station is located approximately 600m to the south of the site. The site and surrounding streets are not included within a Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) meaning there are no on-street parking restrictions. 2.5 The borough boundary with the London Borough of Croydon is located close to the south of the site. The application site lies adjacent to the Norbury District Centre Edge area which is located in the LB of Croydon.
