6 DM2019 00998 Royal Marsden.Pdf Page 1 Agenda Item 6 Planning Committee - Date 6 November 2019 Report of the Assistant Director of Environment, Housing and Regeneration Directorate. Ref: DM2019/00998 WARD: Belmont Time Taken: 16 weeks,1 day Site: The Royal Marsden Hospital, Downs Road, Sutton, SM2 5PT Proposal: Erection of a six storey detached building for health purposes with clinical care, research, administration, staff restaurant and ancillary uses involving the demolition of Sycamore House and part demolition of Orchard House and cycle with car parking spaces and associated hard and soft landscaping. Applicant: Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust Agent: Ms Mary-Jane O'Neill Recommendation: GRANT PLANNING PERMISSION, subject to conditions and completion of the Section 106 Agreement (S106). The S106 agreement to be completed by the 22nd November 2019 or a later date as authorised in writing by the Strategic Director of Housing, Environment and Housing. Reason for Report to Committee: The application is reported to the Planning Committee ​ at the discretion of the Head of Development Management and Strategic Planning. ​ Summary of why application proposals are acceptable: ● The proposed redevelopment of this part of the London Cancer Hub would meet the aspirations of the Site Allocation LCH1 in land use terms; ● The proposed use is consistent with the established use of the surrounding area, which comprises hospital related uses; ● The Oak Cancer Centre (OCC) would increase the Royal Marsden Hospital’s capacity for research and will deliver a new and improved model of care, which would facilitate new outpatients, medical day-care, dry laboratories and collaboration space for clinical researchers which would bring faster development of new treatments; Agenda Item 6 Page 2 ● The development represents high quality design that will be integrated into its surroundings and will be compliant with the expectations of scale, height and massing as set out in Site Allocation LCH1: London Cancer Hub within the Local Plan; ● It would provide a high quality landscape scheme, which will be in keeping with the surroundings, ensuring the long term preservation of the biodiversity of the site and providing ecological enhancement; ● The proposed development would not result in loss of amenity to adjoining residential occupiers by reason of loss of daylight, sunlight, sense of enclosure, loss of privacy and noise; ● The proposal provides a reasonable amount of parking to serve this development in the context of the relatively poor public transport accessibility of the site, and will not prejudice the delivery of future phases of the London Cancer Hub by securing displacement parking in locations where future planning will ensure that this provision can be reprovided as necessary. The proposed development would not adversely impact on the existing highway network surrounding the site; ● The application would not give rise to environmental concerns in respect of flooding , biodiversity interests and and trees; as sufficient mitigation is proposed to address any losses of established landscaping features, to be secure by legal agreement. 1. BACKGROUND 1.1 Site and Surroundings: 1.2 The site area relating to this particular application is located within the wider Royal Marsden Hospital site boundaries, located in Belmont, 2 kilometres to the south of Sutton Town Centre. The application site is irregular in shape and extends to approximately 1.47 hectares in size and is accessed from Cotswold Road predominantly by staff and by patients from Downs Road. The site is located to the south of the former Sutton Hospital site, of which the most northern section has been been developed as new secondary school. 1.3 The vehicular entrance for staff is from Cotswold Road, which is also the access route shared with the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR). 1.4 The proposed development occupies an area to the north west of the main hospital which faces south. The area is located broadly centrally within the wider area forming the ‘London Cancer Hub’ (LCH) with land levels that fall to the south. The southern half of the site is occupied by surface car parking on the site of the former tennis courts. The northern half of the site is occupied by landscaped areas in the vicinity of Orchard House South, which would be demolished as part of this proposed development. 1.5 The application site includes a building that forms part of the wider Hospital site and is wholly characterised by healthcare facilities. Orchard House (which partly falls within the site boundary - Orchard House South), is a four storey clinical building located immediately to the north of the site and two electrical Page 3 Agenda Item 6 sub-stations are located immediately to the south of the site. The wider area is characterised by more recent developments to the north east comprising the Institute of Cancer Research site, typically in modern purpose built development predominantly of 5-6 storeys and the land to the north of the Hospitals demise comprises the former Sutton Hospital Buildings which are lower in scale and density which are included within the wider LCH, the majority of which has been acquired by the Council for future development of the LCH. Beyond the LCH boundaries the area is characterised by low density two storey detached and semi-detached residential properties with higher density development intensifying further north on Brighton Road towards Sutton Town Centre. 1.6 Site Specific Designations: 1.7 The application site lies to the south of the Proposed Tramlink Extension and falls within the Site Allocation LCH1 for mixed use of Health Medical Research and Development and Secondary School. 1.8 The wider site allocation ‘LCH1: London Cancer Hub’ is allocated for Health, Medical Research and development and secondary school together with associated ancillary development including retail, community uses, patient hotel/accommodation, open space and new transport infrastructure including a new underground car park. Site allocation LCH1 states that development will come forward in four indicative phases:- Wave 0: This wave comprises the completion of on-going capital projects that ​ either already have planning permission or are in the process of seeking planning permission totalling 22,285sqm. This includes a proposed new secondary school (12, 390 sqm) committed building works at the ICR (8,745 sqm) and the Royal Marsden (Maggie’s Centre) 1,150sqm. Wave 1: This wave includes the first wave of commercial growth and key ​ infrastructure including the proposed new underground car park and could start around 2018 involving over 60,000m2 of development including around 40,000m2 of research and development floorspace, further building work at the ICR (12,400m2), a patient hotel/accommodation and part of the community/retail floorspace. Wave 2: The development composition for this wave depends on whether the ​ Epsom and St Helier Trust decides it wishes to establish an integrated hospital on the site or whether the hospital facility will be for the treatment of Marsden patients only. In either case, this phase could involve the development of over 150,000m2 of floorspace and could commence around 2020. The potential hospital floorspace might therefore range from 78,000m2 -103,000m2 and the research and development floorspace from 39,000m2 -63,000m2. The ICR could develop around a further 5,000m2 of floorspace with a similar amount of commercial/retail floorspace. Agenda Item 6 Page 4 Wave 4: This wave involves a possible further 27,000m2 of research and ​ development floorspace and could come forward around 2025. However, this phase of the development could not come forward until the existing allotments have been suitably relocated elsewhere in the site. 1.9 Subject to the medical needs of the Epsom and St Helier Foundation Trust any development of this site could include an integrated hospital with the Royal Marsden. Alternatively, a slightly smaller medical facility could be required solely for the Royal Marsden. The size of the hospital facility would affect the amount of research and development facilities that could be accommodated on site. The quantum of other users on the site are likely to remain the same under either option. 1.10 The supporting documentation for the London Cancer Hub Development Framework estimates that the site has the potential to accommodate around 280,000m2 of floorspace suitable for a mix of different uses. The development capacities and mix of development are indicative based on these documents. An integrated hospital could require a floorspace of 102,630m2 whereas a hospital for the Royal Marsden could require 78,410m2. The ICR could have a potential requirement for 26,300m2 of floorspace. As a result, the amount of commercial medical and research floorspace could range between 107,130m2 and 131,130m2. Other uses on the site could include community/retail (10,880m2), new school (12,390m2), patient hotel/accommodation (2,200m2) and the Maggie’s centre (1,150m2). 1.11 Relevant Planning History: 1.12 Council records indicate that there has been significant planning history relating to the whole of the Royal Marsden Hospital site, including recent developments such as the children’s unit and the Centre for Molecular Pathology. The following decisions are of particular relevance to this proposal. 1.13 86/29735 ‘Erection of a two storey building for additional medical facilities’. Granted 3.6.1987. 1.14 87/29735 ‘Details of a two storey building for additional medical facilities’. Granted 16.2.1988. 1.15 88/31963 ‘Provision of new access road’. Granted 6.9.1989. 1.16 94/38981 ‘Provision of a new access road and junction (renewal of permission No. S88/31963/FUL)’. Granted 1.2.1995. 1.17 95/39413 ‘Erection of a single-storey mobile building and two linked single-storey mobile buildings for office purposes, one single-storey mobile Page 5 Agenda Item 6 building for laboratory use, and a single-storey infill extension for storage purposes’.

In Kensington and Chelsea - where we have put protecting lives and protecting livelihoods at the core of our mission - we are fortunate to have: • The Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, • The Royal Marsden Hospital, • and, of course, The Royal Brompton Hospital. Together, these institutions form an internationally renowned medical hub on our doorstep. However, we have recently learned of NHS plans to Councillor Johnny Thalassites merge the Royal Brompton and Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Trusts. This could see the closure of the Brompton and presents a threat that the site could be sold to the highest bidder. Kensington and Chelsea Council will actively oppose any plans to close the hospital. We believe first rate, financially viable medical facilities can be protected and enhanced on the site. We have produced this Supplementary Planning Document to demonstrate the options available to protect this brilliant centre for healthcare and research in the future.
