HfL are currently bringing forward a number of smaller, Council-owned sites across the borough, of which this site is one. They are seeking to make most efficient use of currently underutilised land and optimise development capacity in order to deliver new homes including affordable homes. The scheme would deliver a number of planning benefits, by way of provision of additional housing that includes a good affordable housing offer, improved useable Estate amenity land. Improved landscaping and biodiversity enhancements. Finacial contributions will be secured with regards to offsite improvements by way of 6 trees to be planted on highway land. In terms of sustainability there would be a carbon reduction of 71.9% and remaining regulated carbon dioxide emissions to zero would be off set with a payment secured by s106. Employment benefits include a financial contribution of £9,750, which would be used towards the employment and training of local residents and during the build period there would be an employment and skills plan to help local people access job opportunities arising from the proposed development (at construction phase). The development would be sited on an area of Estate amenity land that includes a former ball court that has been inaccessible and overgrown for a number of years. In terms of quantum this proposed development would result in a net loss of Estate amenity land of approximately 410 sqm of the 917sqm inaccessible Estate amenity land. The proposal seeks to provide enhancements to the quality, usability, and function of the wider Estate amenity land including landscape and biodiversity improvements. With regards to the ball court that has not been used for a number of years it is considered there is adequate provision of sports pitches, ball courts and other recreational space in close proximity to the site. Officers consider that the applicant has demonstrated that distinct regeneration and community benefits and compensatory measures have been achieved within the site and immediate surroundings. Subject to details being secured through conditions and planning obligations secured via s106. the proposal therefore has met the test and accords with Policy EN1(a)(ii) of the Lambeth Local Plan. The proposal includes 14 residential units and would deliver 6 affordable housing units which equates to 46.5% by habitable room on site. Comprising of two affordable rented units and four intermediate units (Shared Ownership). The tenure split would be 33/66% respectively by unit and 50/50% by habitable room. The application was viability tested and it was considered that the proposed affordable housing offer of 46.5% affordable housing by habitable room and the tenure split 50% affordable rent /50% intermediate (shared ownership) with an offsite contribution to be the reasonable amount deliverable. The bulk, scale and massing of the proposed development is considered acceptable and the height is broadly proportionate with the prevailing building heights in the vicinity of the application site. The proposed development would not result in any harm to nearby heritage assets. The proposed development would provide acceptable standards of residential accommodation. It would meet relevant internal residential space standards and the quantum and quality of private and communal amenity space proposed is considered acceptable. The dwellings would have good levels of daylight/sunlight, privacy and outlook. The proposed development would not result in any undue harm to the residential amenity of neighbouring occupiers. In consideration of the daylight analysis for all neighbouring properties for both VSC and NSL it is evident that the majority of reductions meet BRE Guide target criteria and in those few isolated instances that reductions are beyond target criteria, these relate to VSC and to No 200-262 Hydethorpe Road which does have some degree of inherent sensitivity due to recessed balconies limiting daylighting. In consideration of retained levels of actual daylight and also separately, consideration on the theoretical review of ‘without balconies’ analysis, the main adversity relates to 2 No living rooms with impact to the rear balcony windows (although as background for these particular rooms, the likelihood is that they are also served by a smaller window in the front elevation which will not be affected by the proposal) and 3 No bedrooms, albeit daylight can be considered less important to the latter. For sunlight reductions, these effectively meet BRE Guide target criteria, with the isolated exception to some habitable rooms (including some living rooms) within the neighbouring block at 200-262 Hydethorpe Road. With focus upon living rooms, for the small number of isolated living rooms not meeting BRE Guide target criteria under standard analysis review, theoretical analysis can be considered ‘without balconies’ and on that basis, these living rooms would readily meet BRE Guide target criteria so we conclude this isolated adversity is due to the inherent sensitivity of the windows beneath balcony soffits rather than an adverse proposal. Sunlight review to neighbouring amenity (primarily rear gardens) should also be considered. However, it is evident that given the proposed massing, context and orientation of neighbouring gardens to that of the proposal, most neighbouring rear gardens are not applicable for analysis review. However, given the context of the private garden immediately adjacent to the north-west of the proposal (which is demarked on the existing site plan and noted as ‘private garden of No 210 Hydethorpe Road’) we have requested this to be analysed by eb7 as there will be some increased effect from the proposal although we anticipate the garden will not be affected by the proposal from circa mid-afternoon onwards at the 21st March equinox date (although it is noted that this particular amenity area is anticipated to have some shadowing from a number of existing mature trees to the immediate south). Eb7 have now undertaken the standard amenity BRE Guide 2-hour sunlight availability review and the amenity area has the ability to receive 2 hours or more of sunlight at the 21st March (equinox) to 100% of the amenity area as existing which reduces to 76% in the proposed scenario. Whilst the percentage reduction is 24%, given that the retained percentage of the amenity area as having the ability to receive 2 hours or more of sunlight at the 21st March (equinox) in the proposed scenario is still over half the amenity area (at 76%), then this meets the BRE Guide target criteria for this test.

  • Representations and Officers' Comments – Streatham Hill Zone 'G
    Representations and Officers’ comments – Streatham Hill Zone ‘G’ (Area 2) Appendix C Representations in Support of the proposals 1. Blairderry Road (G-SUP-1040) I write in favour of the proposals. A CPZ should help relieve parking stress and create safer roads by discouraging parking on corners and ends of roads. 2. Blairderry Road (G-SUP-1041) I would like to support the proposals detailed in your statutory consultation notice 28th Feb-23rd March 2018. I hope the proposals will be beneficial in: deterring dangerous parking too close to junctions and bends in Streatham Hill West G area, encouraging some regular and effective parking enforcement, of which there is next to none in Blairderry Road. As a result there is regular nuisance parking on kerbs, across driveways. Speeding up action in terms of identifying and dealing with dumped vehicle. 3. Criffel Avenue (G-SUP-1004) In response to your recent communication I am contacting you to express my full support for the introduction of a controlled parking zone to be implemented for Streatham Hill West ‘G’. I live in Criffel Avenue, and can rarely park anywhere near my house during the day, often resorting to parking on Thornton Avenue which is a very busy and dangerous thoroughfare. The problem is a result of people parking in our road and the surrounding streets and then taking local public transport into work. The implementation of the CPZ Mon-Fri between the hours of 10am and 12noon would prevent this happening, and greatly improve the safety and the general environment of our residential area.

  • Environmental Services Committee
    Environmental Services committee Proposed Designation of Hyde Farm Estate Conservation_Area (Thornton ward) Report by Director of Environmental service Consulted Formally: DFIS , DLCSS and DedS Authorised for submission Paul Duffield, Director of Environmental Services Contact for enquiries: Adrienne Smith (Tel: 0171 926 9735) Purpose To designate Hyde Farm Estate as a conservation area. Recommendations (1) That the committee approves the designation of the Hyde Farm Conservation Area under Section 69 of the Planning (Listed Building and conservation Areas) Act 1990 as shown on Plan No. DES/PP/290. (2) That the Committee approved the detailed boundary of the area as shown on Plan No. DES/pp/290. For decision 1. Context 1.1 The function of the planning system is to regulate development and use of land in the public interest. The physical survivals of the Borough's past are to be valued and protected as part of this regulation through the designation of new conservation areas. The enduring quality of these areas adds to the quality of the residents, by enhancing the familiar local scene and sustaining the sense of local distinctiveness which is such an important aspect of their character. 1.2 The proposal to designate the conservation area falls within the general objectives of the Environmental services committee as reported to Committee 15.6.95 (Ref. EB 20/95- 96). That report included principles for promoting civic pride (1.6) and the objectives for service areas included 'sensitive planning and conservation' (11), where it is stated that: "we will extend existing conservation areas and introduce new ones where local residents support this." 1.3 One of the key tasks of the conservation officer, as set out in the conservation officer's work programme report to Environmental services Committee in 11.2.93 (ref.

  • Local Democracy and Decision Making
    Notices of Motion 9 Motion 1. SQUATTED AND EMPTY HOMES IN THE BOROUGH Councillor Jeremy Clyne (14.06.06) Council notes the considerable pressures on housing in Lambeth: - • The need in Lambeth to provide decent homes to the borough's tenants, whether in the public or private sector; • The demand for rented social housing in the borough; • The blight inflicted on some parts of the borough by long term squatted and empty homes which often result in crime and a nuisance to neighbours Council further notes the immediate decision by Cllr Kazantzis on becoming Cabinet Member for Housing to order a halt to the sale of derelict street properties. Council condemns this decision as reckless and imprudent. Amendment 1 Councillor John Kazantzis Delete from "Council further notes" Add: “Council notes that when he came to office in 2002, the very first action of the previous Executive Member for Housing, Councillor Keith Fitchett was to authorise the sell-off of family sized street properties despite the desperate shortage of such homes. A former Councillor then promptly went to an auction and bid for one of those very same properties as an investment for himself. Council notes that the very first decision taken by the Labour Administration regarding the Housing Department was to end the Liberal Democrat sell-off of these street properties, which are so badly needed to provide homes to families in over-crowded accommodation. Council further notes that the abject failure of the Liberal Democrat/Conservative coalition to manage the Housing Department properly left a £5.35m overspend in the Housing budget.
