MEMBERS' DECLARATIONS UNDER THE CODE OF CONDUCT IN RESPECT OF ITEMS ON THE AGENDA There were no declarations of interest from Members. 3. MINUTES RESOLVED – That the Minutes of the meeting held on 26 November, 2013 be approved. Page 1 4. TOWN PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS The Committee received a report of the City Planning Officer relative to development and advertisement applications dealt with under delegated authority since the previous meeting. 5. REPORTS OF THE CITY PLANNING OFFICER RELATIVE TO PLANNING APPLICATIONS 5.1 15 - 17 St Swithin's Lane, London, EC4N 8AL Registered Plan No.: 13/00805/FULMAJ Proposal – Demolition of existing office building behind retained facades, to provide a new building comprising two basement levels, ground and seven upper floors together with a café/restaurant unit (A3) at ground floor, plant at roof level, vehicular servicing bay from Salters Hall Court and other associated works, all in connection with the use of the building as a 55 bedroom hotel. The City Planning Officer detailed site and surrounding information to Members. During discussion, reference was made to the following – • It was confirmed that the restaurant which was part of the proposed development would be accessible to the public and was not solely for the use of hotel residents; • Members were informed that the opinion of the Conservation Area Advisory Committee was that they considered the design to be bulky and overpowering to the conservation area. However, the City Planning Officer was satisfied that this impact would not be detrimental to the character of the area when viewed from the narrow St Swithin’s Lane; • With regard to condition 23 on page 70, it was agreed to include that windows should not open over the public highway in the interests of the safety of the public; • With regards to deliveries, it was noted that the size of the vehicle that could access the site was controlled under the S106 Agreement; and • Members were informed that one method of meeting the carbon emissions standards was to include combined heat and power, however, it this did not prove viable, the developer was able to put forward an alternative method. In summary, the Committee considered the proposal the most suitable proposal for the site. RESOLVED – That Planning Permission be granted for the above proposal in accordance with the details set out in the attached schedule, subject to – a) Planning Obligations and other agreements being entered into as set out in the body of the report, the decision notice not to be issued until such obligations have been executed; and b) Officers being instructed to negotiate and execute obligations in respect of those matters set out in “Planning Obligations” under Section 106 and any necessary agreements under Section 278 of the Highway Act 1980. 5.2 15 - 17 St Swithin's Lane, London, EC4N 8AL - CAC Page 2 RESOLVED – That conservation area consent be granted in accordance with the conditions set out in the attached schedule. 6. CONSULTATION ON DRAFT OFFICE USE SUPPLEMENTARY PLANNING DOCUMENT A report of the City Planning Officer was considered regarding the draft Office Use Supplementary Planning document. RESOLVED – That the draft Office Use Supplementary Planning Document be approved for public consultation for a period of at least 6 weeks. Local Plan – Members were informed that the Chairman had agreed to further refinements to the published Local Plan in order to improve clarity of intent. These refinements would be publicised and the Local Plan consultation process would be extended to the end of February to allow time for any comments to be submitted on the refinements. 7. PLANNING PROTOCOL A report of the Comptroller and City Solicitor was considered which provided a review of the Planning Protocol which was introduced in October 2007. Some concern was expressed by Members in respect of pre-determination (sections 4 and 5(1) page 114). It was felt that this overly restricted the interpretation of the Localism Act 2011 and therefore limited a Members ability to be involved in discussions pertaining to an application. Members also expressed concern that the revisions restricted Ward Members from being able to represent the views of their constituency. Concern was also expressed regarding decisions taken against officer recommendation (paragraph 2, page 119) and the process taken when an application was refused. The Comptroller and City Solicitor agreed to consider amendments to address the concerns for consideration at the next meeting on 4 February 2014. RESOLVED – That the content expressed for the revisions to the protocol be noted and further consideration be given to sections 4 and 5 (1) on page 114 and a revised report be submitted to the next meeting on 4 February 2014. 8. SURPLUS ARISING FOR ON-STREET PARKING 2012-2013 AND UTILISATION OF ACCRUED SURPLUS A report of the Chamberlain was received which provided details of the surplus arising from On-Street Parking in 2012/13 and utilisation of accrued surplus. 9. GROWTH AND INFRASTRUCTURE ACT 2013 - NATIONALLY SIGNIFICANT COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT A report of the Remembrancer was received which described the final form of the changes made by the Growth and Infrastructure Act 2013 in relation to ‘nationally significant’ commercial developments. 10. QUESTIONS ON MATTERS RELATING TO THE WORK OF THE COMMITTEE Page 3 Queensbridge House – In response to a question relating to the planned re- development of Queensbridge House, it was noted that demolition was expected to take place in April/May.

  • Pepys Greenwich Walk
    Samuel Pepys’ Walk through the eastern City of London and Greenwich Distance = 5 miles (8 km) Estimated duration = 3 – 4 hours not including the river trip to Greenwich Nearest underground stations: This is planned to start from the Monument underground station, but could be joined at several other places including Aldgate or Tower Hill underground stations. You can do this Walk on any day of the week, but my recommendation would be to do the first part on a Wednesday or a Thursday because there may be free lunchtime classical recitals in one of the churches that are on the route. The quietest time would be at the weekend because the main part of this Walk takes place in the heart of the business district of London, which is almost empty at that time. However this does mean that many places will be closed including ironically the churches as well as most of the pubs and Seething Lane Garden. It’s a good idea to buy a one-day bus pass or travel card if you don’t already have one, so that you needn’t walk the whole route but can jump on and off any bus going in your direction. This is based around the Pepys Diary website at www.pepysdiary.com and your photographs could be added to the Pepys group collection here: www.flickr.com/groups/pepysdiary. And if you aren't in London at present, perhaps you'd like to attempt a "virtual tour" through the hyperlinks, or alternatively explore London via google streetview, the various BBC London webcams or these ones, which are much more comprehensive.

  • Tower of London World Heritage Site Management Plan
    Tower of London World Heritage Site Management Plan Published by Historic Royal Palaces © Historic Royal Palaces 2007 Historic Royal Palaces Hampton Court Palace Surrey KT8 9AU June 2007 Foreword By David Lammy MP Minister for Culture I am delighted to support this Management Plan for the Tower of London World Heritage Site. The Tower of London, founded by William the Conqueror in 1066-7, is one of the world’s most famous fortresses, and Britain’s most visited heritage site. It was built to protect and control the city and the White Tower survives largely intact from the Norman period. Architecture of almost all styles that have since flourished in England may be found within the walls. The Tower has been a fortress, a palace and a prison, and has housed the Royal Mint, the Public Records and the Royal Observatory. It was for centuries the arsenal for small arms, the predecessor of the present Royal Armouries, and has from early times guarded the Crown Jewels. Today the Tower is the key to British history for visitors who come every year from all over the world to relive the past and to enjoy the pageantry of the present. It is deservedly a World Heritage Site. The Government is accountable to UNESCO and the wider international community for the future conservation and presentation of the Tower. It is a responsibility we take seriously. The purpose of the Plan is to provide an agreed framework for long-term decision-making on the conservation and improvement of the Tower and sustaining its outstanding universal value.

  • Call for Entries from Architects, Designers and Artists to Improve Culture Mile’S Pedestrian Experience Along Its North-South Route
    Call for entries from architects, designers and artists to improve Culture Mile’s pedestrian experience along its North-South route The City of London Corporation is delighted to announce a call for entries to improve wayfinding, walkability and the pedestrian experience along Culture Mile’s ‘North-South route’ between the Millennium Bridge and Barbican. The City of London Corporation is seeking an innovative design concept and proposal for the ‘Culture Mile North-South Route’, between the Millennium Bridge, St Paul’s Cathedral, Aldersgate Street and St Martin’s-le-Grand, to be included as part of the Culture Mile 2019-2020 public programme. The City is looking for inspiring designs that will improve the wayfinding, walkability, appearance and vitality of this key thoroughfare, which links the Southbank to the Culture Mile area. This busy route incorporates entrances to several landmarks, such as St Paul’s Cathedral, the Museum of London and the Barbican estate. It includes the Barbican and St Paul’s underground stations, which collectively provide over 28 million passenger entrances/exits annually. We are inviting architects, designers and artists to submit a concept design that will elevate and enhance the look and feel of this area, providing visual cues, increased wayfinding and a deeper sense of connection between St Paul’s and Barbican underground stations. Following the shortlist of entries in July, the winning team will be revealed and commissioned to develop a fully costed, feasible design that can be installed in a section of the route, subject to planning permission and other relevant City authorisations. The design will remain in situ between Autumn 2019 and Spring 2020.
