On 6 July 2020 Jules Pipe CBE, Deputy Mayor for Planning, Regeneration and Skills, acting under delegated authority, considered a report on this proposal, reference GLA/5276/01. A copy of the report is attached, in full. This letter comprises the statement that the Mayor is required to provide under Article 4(2) of the Order. The Deputy Mayor considers that the application does not yet comply with the London Plan and Intend to Publish London Plan for the reasons set out in paragraph 71 of the above-mentioned report; but that the possible remedies set out in that report could address these deficiencies. If your Council subsequently resolves to make a draft decision on the application, it must consult the Mayor again under Article 5 of the Order and allow him fourteen days to decide whether to allow the draft decision to proceed unchanged; or direct the Council under Article 6 to refuse the application; or issue a direction under Article 7 that he is to act as the local planning authority for the purpose of determining the application and any connected application. You should therefore send the Mayor a copy of any representations made in respect of the application, and a copy of any officer’s report, together with a statement of the decision your authority proposes to make, and (if it proposed to grant permission) a statement of any conditions the authority proposes to impose and a draft of any planning obligation it proposes to enter into and details of any proposed planning contribution. Please note that the Transport for London case officer for this application is Andrew Milliken, e-mail [email protected], telephone 0203 054 1712. Yours sincerely John Finlayson Head of Development Management cc Florence Eshalomi MP, London Assembly Constituency Member Andrew Boff, Chair of London Assembly Planning Committee National Planning Casework Unit, MHCLG Lucinda Turner, TfL Hannah Willcock, DP9, 100 Pall Mall, London, SW1Y 5NQ - 2 - - 3 - planning report GLA/5276/01 22 June 2020 20-24a Popes Road, Brixton in the London Borough of Lambeth planning application no. 20/01347/FUL Strategic planning application stage 1 referral Town & Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended); Greater London Authority Acts 1999 and 2007; Town & Country Planning (Mayor of London) Order 2008 The proposal Redevelopment to provide a new building ranging from 4 to 20-storeys comprising 25,445 sq.m offices, 647 sq.m community and assembly space and 28,100 sq.m flexible retail with associated landscaping and public realm works The applicant The applicant is Hondo and the architect is Adjaye Associates. Strategic issues Principle of development: In land use terms the proposed office-led redevelopment of the site, providing significant new employment floorspace, affordable workspace and flexible commercial uses within a town centre and strategic area for regeneration is strongly supported. However, on the basis that the Local Plan does not identify this as a suitable location for a tall building, the acceptability of the proposed scale must be justified by public benefits and other relevant material considerations. In this context further discussion is required with respect to the provision of publicly accessible spaces within the building, and the proposed affordable workspace must be appropriately secured (paragraphs 13- 21). Urban design and Heritage: Further amendments are required to improve the public realm. The configuration of the ground floor should be better rationalised to provide more active frontage and/or larger entrances to the building. GLA officers consider that the proposal would result in less than substantial harm to heritage assets. At this stage further work and discussions is required before the public benefits of the scheme are crystallised and the balance of these may be applied to the harm (paragraphs 22-44). Energy strategy: Further information on renewable technologies, the proposed heat pump system, and carbon offset contributions should be provided (paragraphs 46-50) Transport: The applicant is required to address issues in respect of; trip generation calculations, impact on public transport, Active Travel, delivery and servicing and disabled persons parking provision. The development will impact on public transport provision as such a contribution is sought to fund additional bus services. Financial contributions are also required towards cycle hire docking stations and Legible London signage. A delivery and servicing plan and a construction logistics plan should be secured by condition (paragraphs 55-62) Recommendation That Lambeth Council be advised that while the scheme is supported in land use terms, the application does not currently comply with the London Plan, for the reasons set out in paragraph 71 of this report. Context 1 On 12 May 2020 the Mayor of London received documents from Lambeth Council notifying him of a planning application of potential strategic importance to develop the above site for the above uses. Under the provisions of The Town & Country Planning (Mayor of London) Order 2008 the Mayor must provide the Council with a statement setting out whether he considers that the application complies with the London Plan, and his reasons for taking that view. The Mayor may also provide other comments. This report sets out information for the Mayor’s use in deciding what decision to make. 2 The application is referable under the following Categories of the Schedule to the Order 2008: • 1B.1(c) “Development (other than development which only comprises the provision of houses, flats, or houses and flats) which comprises or includes the erection of a building or buildings outside Central London and with a total floorspace of more than 15,000 square metres.” • 1C.1(c) “Development which comprises or includes the erection of a building more than 30 metres high and is outside the City of London.” 3 Once Lambeth Council has resolved to determine the application, it is required to refer it back to the Mayor for his decision as to whether to direct refusal; take it over for his own determination; or allow the Council to determine it itself. 4 The Mayor of London’s statement on this case will be made available on the GLA website www.london.gov.uk. Site description 5 The application site comprises a funnel shaped parcel of land, situated between two large railway viaducts. The site is bound by Popes Road to the west, at is widest point, and Valentia Place to the east, at its narrowest point. To the north, beyond the railway, are a mix of commercial and residential uses. The statutorily listed Brixton Recreational Centre (Grade II) is opposite the site to the north west. Brixton Railway Station is located to the west of the site. To the south and south east, beyond the railway viaduct, are the Brixton Village indoor market and residential development. In the wider context to the south, is the main retail core of the Brixton town centre. The site lies in the context of the Brixton Street Markets along Brixton Station Road to the north, Popes Road and Electric Avenue to the west. The site comprises a single storey building currently in use as a retail store. The prevailing height of surrounding buildings is 2 to 5-storeys to the north, west and south, rising to 8-storeys to the east. The site is not within a conservation area but sits on the boundary of the Brixton and Loughborough Park Conservation Areas to the east, south and west. 6 The site is within the Brixton town centre boundary, which is identified as a major town centre in the London Plan. The site is also a Strategic Area for Regeneration and identified as one of the Mayors’ Creative Enterprise Zones. The site forms part of a wider site allocation identified in Lambeth’s Local Plan (Site 16), allocated for mixed use development comprising commercial, retail, community uses, educational, leisure, recreational uses and possible market extension. The allocation also identifies the wider site as an opportunity to enhance pedestrian links and support improvements to Brixton Station. 7 The site is served by twenty bus routes within walking distance alongside Brixton (London Underground & National Rail) and Loughborough Junction National Rail Station. As such, the Public Transport Access Level (PTAL) of the site is 6b (on a scale of 0 to 6b, where 6b represents the greatest level of access to public transport services). The closest section of the Transport for London Road Network (TLRN) is the A24 Brixton Road which is 160 metres away). Details of the proposal 8 The proposals would see the demolition of existing buildings and redevelopment of the site to provide an office-led mixed-use development comprising 25,445 sq.m offices, 647 sq.m community and assembly space and 28,100 sq.m flexible retail within a building ranging 4 to 20-storeys in height. The ground floor retail comprises a series of small retail units organised along the main circulation routes creating a market typology. Larger flexible units are located at first floor level which would provide either retail, community or assembly uses or workspace. Commercial office and workspaces are provided on the floors above. Planning history 9 An initial pre-application meeting was held with the GLA on 17 October 2019.

  • Irina Porter, Uncovering Kilburn's History: Part 7
    Uncovering Kilburn’s History – Part 7 Thank you for joining me again for the final part of this Kilburn local history series. 1. New flats in Cambridge Road, opposite Granville Road Baths, c.1970. (Brent Archives online image 10127) In Part 6 we saw the major rebuilding that took place, particularly in South Kilburn, between the late 1940s and the 1970s. Many of the workers on the building sites were Irish. The new wave of Irish immigration to Northwest London, which reached its peak in the 1950s, was quickly transforming the area. As well as abundant work, Kilburn offered plenty of cheap accommodation, and a bustling High Road with cultural and eating establishments, many of them catering for the Irish population, who soon represented a majority in the area. ‘County Kilburn’ was dubbed Ireland’s 33rd county. 2. Kilburn's Irish culture – an Irish Festival poster and Kilburn Gaels hurling team. (From the internet) The Irish community, close-knit and mutually supportive, hit the headlines in the negative way in the 1970s, when Kilburn became a focal point for “the Troubles” in London. On 8 June 1974, an estimated 3,000 came out onto the streets of Kilburn for the funeral procession of Provisional IRA member Michael Gaughan. An Irishman, who had lived in Kilburn, Gaughan was imprisoned for an armed bank robbery in 1971 and in 1974 died as the result a hunger strike. Gaughan’s coffin, accompanied by an IRA guard of honour, was taken from the Crown at Cricklewood through Kilburn to the Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart in Quex Road, before being flown to Dublin for another ceremony and funeral.

  • St John's Wood
    St John’s Wood Area Guide St John’s Wood lies within the City of Westminster in the North West London. Once part of the Great Middlesex Forest, the area was one of the first London suburbs to be developed from the early 19th century onwards, mainly with low density “villa” type housing. St. John’s Wood was once part of the Great Forest of Middlesex, its name derived from its mediaeval owners, the Knights of the Order of St John of Jerusalem. After the Reformation and the Dissolution of monastic orders, St John’s Wood became Crown land, and Henry VIII established Royal Hunting Grounds in what became known as Marylebone Park, to the north of which lay St John’s Wood. The area remained in agricultural use until the end of the eighteenth century, when plans for residential development first appeared. Building began in 1809 in Alpha Road, on the southern boundary of St John’s Wood. One of the first London suburbs to be developed, it was a unique pattern of development and mainly planned with a large amount of low density, semi-detached villas, abandoning the familiar terraced house. Although many of the original houses and gardens disappeared during the twentieth century, through bomb damage and the building of new roads, railways and schools, much of the original character of the area remains. In the 1960s, most of St John’s Wood was designated a Conservation Area and its houses listed by English Heritage. It remains a highly desirable residential location, and one of the most expensive areas of London.
