Applicant: LBC Housing Development & Regeneration Agent: Turley Case Officer: Graham Harrington 2 BACKGROUND 2.1 This proposed development is being reported to enable Members of the Planning Committee to comment upon it before a planning application is submitted. The emerging scheme does not constitute an application for planning permission and any comments made on it are provisional and subject to full consideration of any subsequent application, including the comments received as a result of consultation . 2.2 This is the second presentation of the emerging scheme to the Planning Committee. An earlier scheme iteration was presented to the Committee on 30 July 2015. The applicant has significantly developed the emerging scheme to take account of comments raised at the Committee meeting and following extensive pre-application discussions with officers. The emerging scheme as it currently stands is described in Section 3. 2.3 The matters raised by the Planning Committee at the 30 July 2015 meeting are set out below, together with a reference to the paragraph(s) in this report that address the matter: • Principle of uses - acceptable with an active square, providing sports, skateboarding and performance areas, dynamic Box Park type activities was supported (discussed under College Green, paragraph 4.132). • Amount of affordable housing - should be maximised - targeting 30%; with right amount of family housing, with some 4-bed units (discussed under Affordable Housing, paragraph 4.55). • Appearance of development o Architectural style can be modern, imaginative and different, that fits in but is not 'Croydon vernacular'. Massing should provide a deliverable scheme, with the potential of some higher massing at the north end (discussed under Scale and Massing, paragraphs 4.89 and 4.90). o Connectivity and routes through the scheme are very important, particularly link from the station and George Street through to Park Lane. Active frontages should be around the site and fronting onto College Road (discussed under Layout, paragraph 4.82). o Needs to be level, accessible, including friendly positive spaces. Wheelchair access important for the units and around the site (discussed under Inclusive Design Safety and Security, paragraph 4.156). o Side of the Fairfield Halls has potential for projections rather than posters (discussed under Works to Fairfield Halls, paragraph 4.104). • Effects on adjacent occupiers - the servicing provision must work with young families nearby (discussed under Amenities of Future and Adjoining Occupiers, paragraph 4.178). • Quality of new residential accommodation - importance of the buildings engaging with the square; quality of design an important factor (discussed under Detailed Design of Phase 1 Housing, paragraph 4.151). • Sustainability of development - viability of the halls; the scheme should improve on the current viability (discussed under Works to Fairfield Halls, paragraph 4.104). • Parking provision - support for the removal of parking outside the halls but need to ensure an appropriate amount of parking in the scheme to take account of the requirements of Fairfield Halls (discussed under Other Parking, paragraph 4.172). 2.4 Planning policy is established by the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), the London Plan (2015), the Croydon Local Plan Strategic Policies (CLP1), the saved policies in the Croydon Replacement UDP (CRUDP) and the emerging Croydon Local Plan: Detailed Policies (Preferred and Alternative Options 2013) (CLP2). The area is within the Croydon Metropolitan Centre (CMC) and is also within the London Plan Croydon Opportunity Area (COA). It is also identified as being within the Fair Field Masterplan Area, an Area of High Density and an Archaeological Priority Zone. 2.5 On 21 September 2015, the Cabinet approved the publication for consultation purposes the Croydon Local Plan: Strategic Policies - Partial Review (Preferred Options and Alternatives) and Croydon Local Plan: Detailed Policies and Proposals (Preferred and Alternative Options). These documents include emerging policies and allocations that relate specifically to the Masterplan Area.
