Under the provisions of The Town & Country Planning (Mayor of London) Order 2008 the Mayor has until 12 October 2017 to 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 Categories 1B and 1C of the Schedule to the Order 2008: • “The building comprises floorspace of more than 20,000 sq.m. in Central London.” • “The building is more than 30 metres high and is outside the City of London.” 3 Once Islington 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 This 3,500 sq.m. site comprises Arbuthnot House, 15-24 Ropemaker Street, Finsbury Court, 101-117 Finsbury Pavement and 10-12 Finsbury Street. It contains two office buildings of nine and seven storeys which collectively contain 19,636 sq.m. of floor space, with retail units at ground floor level. It fronts Ropemaker Street to the south (the borough boundary between Islington and the City), Finsbury Street to the west, and Finsbury Pavement to the east. 6 The surrounding area is largely made of office buildings, also with retail uses at ground floor. The tallest building in the area, City Point, is directly opposite the site to the south of Ropemaker Place. It has a large area of open space and public realm fronting the site. To the west is another large office block, recently constructed - Ropemaker Place. Beyond that is a The Heron, a new residential tower. 7 Moorgate Station is a short walk away to the south via Moorfields, which is directly opposite the site. This contains the nearest cycle hire docking station (42 points). Finsbury Pavement forms part of the Strategic Road Network. The site is well served by public transport and has a PTAL rating of 6b, which is excellent. The site will also be served by the Elizabeth Line with the nearest connections at Moorgate and Liverpool Street Crossrail station. 8 The site is within the Central Activities Zone (CAZ) and City Fringe Opportunity Area. Details of the proposal 9 The applicant proposes to demolish all existing buildings on site and replace them with a new building of 27 storeys and two basement levels, containing 63,520 sq.m. of new office floorspace in the upper floors and 1,222 sq.m. of retail floorspace at ground floor. Within the office space, there would be provision of 955 sq.m. of workspace specifically for small and micro businesses provided within a ground floor mezzanine level. Cycle storage, changing and shower facilities would be provided at basement level along with storage space for the retail units. page 2 10 The main entrance to the office lobby would be off Ropemaker Street. Ground floor retail units would front on to Finsbury Pavement and Ropemaker Street. The small and micro business accommodation would have its own separate entrance from Finsbury Pavement. Figure 1: Proposed ground floor plan. 11 The building would be stepped in form, with landscaped roof terraces provided for office occupiers. There are five terraces in total- three on the east and two on the west of the building. There would also be 14 large balcony spaces which could be used for meetings or amenity space for office workers. 12 The ground floor of the building has been set back to provide increased public realm on Ropemaker Street and the building is designed to create a new public space at the junction of Ropemaker street and Finsbury Pavement. Improvements to the hard landscaping along Finsbury street, Ropemaker Street and Finsbury Pavement are also proposed. The building would be serviced via an internal service bay at ground floor, accessed via Finsbury Street. Case history 13 On 17 January 2017 pre-application discussions were held with the applicant with regards to a similar proposal of 27 storeys, approximately 61,000 sq.m. of office floorspace and retail uses at part basement, ground and first floor level. 14 The principle of an office-led development was supported, as was the provision of SME workspace. The broad design principles are also acceptable, including the increased height, massing and townscape impact, subject to further details and architectural visualisations coming forward at application stage. page 3 Figure 2: GCI of proposals from above Finsbury Pavement. page 4 Strategic planning issues and relevant policies and guidance 15 The relevant issues and corresponding policies are as follows: • Principle of development London Plan; City Fringe OAPF • Urban design London Plan; Shaping Neighbourhoods: Character and Context SPG; • Heritage/ strategic views London Plan; London View Management Framework SPG; • Climate change London Plan; Sustainable Design and Construction SPG; Mayor’s Climate Change Adaptation Strategy; Mayor’s Climate Change Mitigation and Energy Strategy; • Transport London Plan; the Mayor’s Transport Strategy; Mayoral Community Infrastructure Levy; Use of planning obligations in the funding of Crossrail and the Mayoral Community infrastructure levy SPG. 16 For the purposes of Section 38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, the development plan in force for the area is Islington Council’s Core Strategy (2011) and Development Management Policies (2013), the Finsbury Local Plan – AAP for Bunhill and Clerkenwell (2013) and Site Allocations DPD (2013) and the London Plan 2016 (Consolidated with Alterations since 2011). 17 The Islington Local Plan: Scope of the Review (2016), the City Fringe Opportunity Area Planning Framework (2015) and National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) are also relevant material considerations. Principle of development 18 The site is located within the Central Activities Zone (CAZ) and within the City Fringe Opportunity Area. The City Fringe Opportunity Area Planning Framework (OAPF) indicates the potential for the area to deliver 53,000 new jobs and 15,000 new homes. 19 London Plan Policies 4.2 and 2.10 encourage the renewal and modernisation of existing office stock in viable locations to improve its quality and flexibility, seeking increases in current stock where there is evidence of sustained demand for office based activities. 20 The City Fringe Opportunity Area Planning Framework (OAPF) identifies the site as being in the “inner core” of the City Fringe, where demand for office space has been increasing. The City Fringe OAPF envisages the continued expansion of employment floorspace in the inner core area to support London’s critical mass of financial and business services and the growth of the digital- creative sector in Tech City. Furthermore the OAPF recognises the important role that affordable workspace plays in facilitating the continued presence of start-ups and small businesses. 21 The existing building consists of 18,054 sq.m. of office floorspace and 1,298 sq.m. of banking floorspace. The applicant’s proposal to provide 63,520 sq.m. of new office floorspace and 1,222 sq.m. of retail floorspace represents an uplift of 45,390 sq.m. of employment generating floorspace and is supported in line with London Plan Policies 4.2 and 2.10 and the City Fringe OAPF.

  • Anabaptist Walk
    An Anabaptist's Walk in London by Alan and Eleanor Kreider Introduction The first Mennonite who made England his home, the Canadian John Coffman, arrived in London during an air raid in 1940. For the next five years, he distributed food and clothing and took care of orphans as a representative of the Mennonite Central Committee, the relief and development agency of the North American Mennonite Churches. In this he was assisted by Eileen Pells Coffman, whom he met and married in London. After the war John and Eileen worked as Mennonite missionaries with the Finsbury Mission and the Free Gospel Hall; in 1967 they retired in Highgate. They were much-loved parental figures among English Mennonites, and died in 1990 and 1999 respectively. John Coffman enjoyed taking tourists to sites in London that the tour-buses missed. The typical tourist, John knew, visited sites associated with privilege, royalty and military might. But there was another history – a Nonconformist history – that had left more obscure monuments in the area to the north of the City where John and Eileen had worked in the bleak, ration-ridden post-war years. So John devised the itinerary that we have followed in the following pages. Several times John took us with him on his walk; to our delight it always involved stopping for tea at a well-chosen restaurant! We have built on his itinerary, inserting a few additional stops, biographical information and literary materials that we hope will evoke something of the spirit of the people whom the places will recall. Most of the people whom the walk commemorates were not Anabaptists (who were almost entirely absent from England after 1575); and one of them, the Protestant John Bradford, probably would have been willing to see the Anabaptists burned.
