This includes new pavement crossovers, removal of redundant crossovers, changes in threshold levels, changes to on-street parking arrangements, and work which will affect pavement vaults. You will have to pay all administration, design, supervision and other costs of the work. We will carry out any work which affects the highway. When considering the desired timing of highway works in relation to your own development programme please bear in mind that, under the Traffic Management Act 2004, all works on the highway require a permit, and (depending on the length of the highway works) up to three months advance notice may need to be given. For more advice, please phone 020 7641 2642. However, please note that if any part of your proposals would require the removal or relocation of an on-street parking bay, this is unlikely to be approved by the City Council (as highway authority). (I09AC)

I09BA Environmental Improvements on road.

Your proposals include environmental improvements on the highway in the vicinity of the site. When considering the desired timing of highway works in relation to your own development programme please bear in mind that, under the Traffic Management Act 2004, all works on the highway require a permit, and (depending on the length of the highway works) up to three months advance notice may need to be given.

For all roads except Red Routes the relevant Highway Authority will be the City Council (020 7641 2642). If you live on a ‘Red Route’ you will need to contact Transport for London.

If the required footway crossover is considered problematical on highway safety grounds, or would interfere with traffic flow or with any public on-street parking facility, your application may be refused.

For more advice, please phone our Highways Licensing Team on 020 7641 2560. (I35AA)

I36AA Licence for building support on public roads.

You must apply for a licence from our Highways Licensing Team if you plan to block the road or pavement during structural work to support the building. Your application will need to show why you cannot support the building from private land. For more advice, please phone 020 7641 2560. (I36AA)

I37AA Garage doors over highway (where The garage doors are very close to the public road. In making our decision to grant permission, we have


14

p.p. granted) taken into account the small size of the site and the need for good design. The garage doors may block the road when they are open, and you will need to be sure that you can open them safely without causing any danger to the public or breaking any other law before carrying out this part of the development. (I37AA)

I37BA Garage doors over highway (where p.d.)

The garage doors are ‘permitted development’, but are very close to the public road. They may block the road when they are open. You will need to be sure that you can open the doors safely without causing any danger to the public or breaking any other law before carrying out this part of the development. (I37BA)

I38AB No short term let or timeshare. Under Section 25 of the Greater London Council (General Powers) Act 1973 you need planning permission to use residential premises as temporary sleeping accommodation. To make sure that the property is used for permanent residential purposes, it must not be used as sleeping accommodation by the same person for less than 90 nights in a row. This applies to both new and existing residential accommodation. Also, under Section 5 of the Greater London Council (General Powers) Act 1984 you cannot use the property for any period as a time-share (that is, where any person is given a right to occupy all or part of a flat or house for a specified week, or other period, each year). (I38AB)

I39AA Prevention of nuisance from lighting (glare).

Please make sure that the lighting is designed so that it does not cause any nuisance for neighbours at night. If a neighbour considers that the lighting is causing them a nuisance, they can ask us to take action to stop the nuisance (under section 102 of the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005). (I39AA)

I40AA Strategic views. We have added condition ^IN; to meet the requirements of the direction made by the former Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions to protect important views across London. (I40AA)

Note When considering whether I39AA should be added, bear in mind that the following are exempt from action under this Act: airports, harbour, railway or tram

premises, bus stations, public service/goods vehicle operating centres. However, schools and sports venues are not exempt.


15

I41AB Facilities for people with

disabilities. Please contact our District Surveyors' Services to discuss how you can design for the inclusion of disabled people. Email: [email protected]. Phone 020 7641 7240 or 020 7641 7230. If you make a further planning application or a building regulations application which relates solely to providing access or facilities for people with disabilities, our normal planning and building control fees do not apply. The Equality and Human Rights Commission has a range of publications to assist you, see www.equalityhumanrights.com . The Centre for Accessible Environment's 'Designing for Accessibility', 2004, price £22.50 is a useful guide, visit www.cae.org.uk. If you are building new homes you must provide features which make them suitable for people with disabilities. For advice see www.habinteg.org.uk It is your responsibility under the law to provide good access to your buildings. An appropriate and complete Access Statement as one of the documents on hand-over, will provide you and the end user with the basis of a defence should an access issue be raised under the Disability Discrimination Acts.

I42AA Invitation to apply for improved access for people with disabilities.

The building does not provide suitable access for people with disabilities, but there is a way to improve this by ^IN;. We suggest you apply for alterations to improve this situation. If your application relates only to providing access or facilities for people with disabilities, our normal planning fees do not apply. (I42AA)

I43AA Canopy with lettering - 'deemed' planning permission. (This does not apply outside conservation areas where illuminated lettering also enjoys 'deemed' consent.)

The lettering on the canopy has 'deemed' consent under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007. This means that you do not need to apply for planning permission for the canopy. However, if you want to light up the lettering by spotlight or other means, you will need to apply for 'express' consent under the advertisement regulations. And if you remove the lettering, the canopy will require planning permission. (I43AA)

16

I44AA Canopy with lettering - notice to

remove. (This will normally be used with I43A.)

Although the canopy has 'deemed' consent, it does not meet our design guidelines and we may make you remove it. We recommend that you replace the canopy with one that meets our guidelines 'Shopfronts, Blinds and Signs'. You can get a copy of these guidelines from our website at www.westminster.gov.uk. (I44AA)

I45BB Air conditioning approved – type not specified.

Wet cooled air conditioning systems have been associated with a number of serious outbreaks of legionnaire’s disease. Open recirculating water systems are vulnerable to colonisation by legionella bacteria and other micro-organisms. To eliminate this risk designers must give very serious consideration to alternative systems that avoid open recirculating water. These include air cooled and adiabatic systems. Careful consideration must also be given to the design and installation of plant to ensure that it can be repaired and maintained safely. For further advice regarding plant selection, safe installation and maintenance or to register a cooling tower or evaporative condenser please phone the Health and Safety team on 0207 641 1063.

I47AB Tables and chairs – need for a street trading licence. (Use 1st before I48AA.)

You cannot put tables and chairs in the area unless you have a street trading licence. If you want to know about the progress of your application for a licence, you can contact our Licensing Service on 020 7641 7822. If you apply for a licence and then decide to change the layout of the tables and chairs, you may have to apply again for planning permission. You can discuss this with the planning officer whose name appears at the top of this letter. Please remember that once you have a licence you must keep the tables and chairs within the agreed area at all times. (I47AB)

I47BA Health and safety – space heaters. This planning permission does not take into account health and safety issues which may arise from the use of the proposed space heaters. You are advised that this issue will be considered as part of the street trading licence application

I47CA I47CA Tables and chairs – need for customer toilets.

Our Environmental Health officers have informed us that they consider your premises do not have a sufficient number of customer toilets to support the number of additional customer tables and chairs requested. Whilst we do not consider this to be a reason to refuse planning permission, it is likely to be an important issue under any licence application. You should therefore discuss this with the Environmental Health Service as soon as possible on 020 7641 3161.

I48AA Tables and chairs – reminder to

keep within an agreed area. (Use 2nd after I47AB)

You must keep the tables and chairs within the area shown at all times. We will monitor this closely and may withdraw your street trading licence if you put them outside this area. (I48AA)

I49AB Tables and chairs - refusing permission before issuing a licence.

If you want to know about the progress of your application for a street trading licence, you can contact our Licensing Service on 020 7641 7822. (I49AB)

I49BA Tables and chairs – contact Crime Prevention Design Officer.

The Metropolitan Police have advised that the restaurant is located in an area that experiences a high level of thefts. Therefore, you are advised to contact the Police Licensing Team (Tel: 020 7641 3179) prior to submitting details in relation to Condition ^IN;. They are likely to recommend crime prevention measures such as staff training, the provision of hooks or other devices for customers to secure their bags to and the display of crime prevention literature. However, you are advised that the City Council is unlikely to support the introduction of barriers in this location.

I50AA Environmental Health Service - major building work.

When carrying out building work you must do all you can to reduce noise emission and take suitable steps to prevent nuisance from dust and smoke. Please speak to our Environmental Health Service to make sure that you meet all requirements before you draw up the contracts for demolition and building work. Your main contractor should also speak to our Environmental Health Service before starting work. They can do this formally by applying to the following address for consent to work on construction sites under Section 61 of the Control of Pollution Act 1974.

24 Hour Noise Team Environmental Health Service Westminster City Hall 64 Victoria Street London SW1E 6QP. Phone: 020 7641 2000

Our Environmental Health Service may change the hours of working we have set out in this permission if your work is particularly noisy. Deliveries to and from the site should not take place outside the permitted hours unless you have our written approval. (I50AA)


18

I50BA Site Waste Management Plans Your proposals include demolition works. If the estimated cost of the whole project exceeds £300,000 (excluding VAT), the Site Waste Management Plan (SWMP) Regulations 2008 require you to prepare an SWMP before works begin, to keep the Plan at the site for inspection, and to retain the Plan for two years afterwards. One of the duties set out in the Regulations is that the developer or principal contractor "must ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that waste produced during construction is re-used, recycled or recovered" (para 4 of the Schedule to the Regulations). Failure to comply with this duty is an offence. Even if the estimated cost of the project is less than £300,000, the City Council strongly encourages you to re-use, recycle or recover as much as possible of the construction waste, to minimise the environmental damage caused by the works. The Regulations can be viewed at www.opsi.gov.uk.

I51AA Considerate Builders Scheme. Please read the enclosed leaflet about our Considerate Builders Scheme. For more information phone 020 7641 3175 or look at www.westminster.gov.uk/services/atoz/c/ (I51AA)

I51BA Keep residents informed about unavoidable disturbance.

The construction manager should keep residents and others informed about unavoidable disturbance such as noise, dust and extended working hours, and disruption of traffic. Site neighbours should be given clear information well in advance, preferably in writing, perhaps by issuing regular bulletins about site progress.

I52AA Estate agents' board - same application by a different agent.

We gave permission on ÎN; to ÎN; - for a similar display at this address. That permission applies to any board manufacturer or letting agent and is valid for six months. However, we can only allow one board at the property. (I52AA)

I53AA Estate agents' board - same application by the same agent.

You received permission on ÎN; for a similar display at this address. That permission is valid for six months. However, we can only allow one board at the property. (I53AA)

I54AA Street numbering. Please make sure that the street number and building name (if applicable) are clearly displayed on the building. This is a condition of the London Building Acts (Amendments) Act 1939, and there are regulations that specify the exact requirements. If you would like more information, you can contact Ray Gangadeen on 020 7641 7064. (I54AA)

I55AA Reference to a Section 106 agreement.

This permission is governed by a legal agreement between the applicant and us under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. The agreement relates to ÎN;. (I55AA)

I55BA Reference to a Unilateral Undertaking.

This permission is governed by a Unilateral Undertaking from the applicant under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. The Undertaking relates to ÎN;. (I55BA)

I56AA CrossRail Line 1. Condition ÎN; meets the requirements of the 'safeguarding' directions made by the Department of Transport in relation to the CrossRail Project. If you have any questions about this project, please write to:

Crossrail Limited 25 Canada Square London E14 5LQ Phone: 0345 602 3813 (I56AA)

I57AA CrossRail Line 2. Condition ÎN; meets the requirements of the direction made by the Department of Transport relating to the Chelsea to Hackney (CrossRail 2) line. If you have any questions about this project, please write to:

Crossrail Limited 25 Canada Square London E14 5LQ Phone: 0345 602 3813 (I57AA)

I58AA Residential conversions - sound insulation.

The sound insulation in each new unit of a residential conversion should meet the standards set out in the current Building Regulations Part E and associated approved documents. Please contact our District Surveyors’ Services if you need more advice. (Phone 020 7641 7240 or 020 7641 7230). (I58AA)

I58BB Poor daylight in some rooms. The Council considers that the amount of daylight into and the view that is likely from the ÎN would not be enough for the use of these rooms as main living areas. (You are recommended to refer to the Housing Health and Safety Rating System - Housing Act 2004 guidance to obtain full details about the requirement for natural lighting and reasonable view.) The proposals have been accepted because the flat as a whole has enough main rooms with adequate daylight and reasonable views, and on the basis


20

that the flat will be used as a single self-contained unit by one household. If any occupier in the future was to consider using the flat in a different way - for example, with those rooms referred to above (as having limited daylight and views) being used as living rooms or as living/bedrooms e.g. for staff accommodation, the flat is likely to be considered for action under the Housing Act 2004 by our Residential Environmental Health team; in those circumstances, that team would have the power to require works to improve daylight to the affected rooms or alternatively, where this is not practicable, to prohibit their use.

Note

I58BA should only be used when requested by Environmental Health, who will advise what should be inserted – e.g. 'bedrooms 2 and 3 of the basement flat'


21

I58CB Poor daylight in some rooms a

possibility. Our Environmental Health officers advise that, although it is not possible to be certain from your submitted plans, the scheme may not provide sufficient natural light into and a reasonable view from the main habitable rooms. You are recommended to refer to the Housing Health and Safety Rating System - Housing Act 2004 guidance to obtain full details about the requirement for natural lighting and reasonable view. The dwelling may therefore be considered for action under the Housing Act 2004 by our Residential Environmental Health team. In those circumstances, that team would have the power to require works to improve natural light and the view to the affected rooms (which may require planning permission) or alternatively, where this is not practicable, to prohibit the use of those rooms. For further advice, please contact:

Residential Environmental Health Team 4th Floor East, Westminster City Hall 64 Victoria Street London SW1E 6QP Website www.westminster.gov.uk Email [email protected] Tel : 020 7641 3003 Fax : 020 7641 8504.



22

I58DB Underground vaults. The rooms in the underground vaults are only considered acceptable by our Environmental Health

officers on the basis that they are used in connection with the main house. If used as separate living accommodation (e.g. for staff accommodation) the lack of sufficient natural light and reasonable views would mean the proposal fails the Housing Health and Safety Rating System - Housing Act 2004. Additionally the conversion of vault areas for human habitation is not normally recommended because of the low headroom, potential damp problems and ‘remote room’ issues. The potential for rising dampness (from the ground) and penetrating dampness (from the entrance slab above) together with condensation due to lack of through ventilation is great. Experience has shown that despite thorough “tanking” (complete damp proofing) of vaults, the integrity of the tanking can be damaged by nails/screws etc. New techniques, such as ‘Delta membrane’, may be more appropriate as alternatives to traditional ‘tanking’ methods. You are recommended to seek advice from our Environmental Health Department on appropriate damp proof treatment and ventilation (including additional mechanical ventilation as necessary). However, any works that affect the external appearance may require a further planning permission. For further advice, please contact:

Residential Environmental Health Team 4th Floor East, Westminster City Hall 64 Victoria Street London SW1E 6QP Website www.westminster.gov.uk Email [email protected] Tel : 020 7641 3003 Fax : 020 7641 8504.



23

I58EA Rented flats and fire. If a proportion of the flats within the premises are to be rented following development, under the HMO

Licensing Scheme, the building requires an increased level of fire precaution and is subject to the City of Westminster Standards for Multiple Occupation. The applicant should contact the Residential Proactive Environmental Health Team for information concerning the requirements of the Houses in Multiple Occupation Licensing Scheme Housing Act 2004. Residential Environmental Health Team 4th Floor East, Westminster City Hall 64 Victoria Street London SW1E 6QP Website www.westminster.gov.uk Email [email protected] Tel : 020 7641 3003 Fax : 020 7641 8504.

I58GA Housing health and safety rating

system. The design and structure of the development shall be of such a standard that the dwelling is free from the 29 hazards listed under the Housing Health Safety Rating System (HHSRS). However, any works that affect the external appearance may require a further planning permission. For more information concerning the requirements of HHSRS contact: Residential Environmental Health Team 4th Floor East, Westminster City Hall 64 Victoria Street London SW1E 6QP Website www.westminster.gov.uk Email [email protected] Tel : 020 7641 3003 Fax : 020 7641 8504.

I59AA Extra work to a listed building. You will need to contact us again if you want to carry out work on the listed building which is not referred to in your plans. This includes:

any extra work which is necessary after further assessments of the building's condition;

stripping out or structural investigations; and

any work needed to meet the building regulations or other forms of statutory control. Please quote any 'TP' and 'RN' reference numbers shown on this consent when you send us further documents. It is a criminal offence to carry out work on a listed building without our consent. Please remind your client, consultants, contractors and subcontractors of the terms and conditions of this consent. (I59AA)



25

I60AA Demolishing a listed building -

notification of English Heritage. Under Section 8(2) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, you cannot demolish a listed building unless you have given English Heritage the opportunity to make a record of the building. You must give English Heritage at least 30 days' notice before you start demolition work. And within that period you must allow its officers reasonable access to the building. English Heritage's address is:

English Heritage, Architectural Investigations Section 1 Waterhouse Square 138-142 Holborn London EC1 2ST

I enclose their form for you to report the demolition. (I60AA)

I61AB Restaurant or similar use - opening hours.

You may need separate licensing approval for the ÎN; premises. Your approved licensing hours may differ from those given above but you must not have any customers on the premises outside the hours set out in this planning permission. (I61AB)

I61BA Restaurant – ancillary uses. You must make sure that any other activities taking place in the class A3 (restaurant or café) premises, such as small amounts of takeaway sales or small bar areas, are so minor that they do not alter the main use as a restaurant or café. If the scale of one or more of these extra activities is more substantial than this, it is likely that a material (significant) change of use (from class A3 to a mix of uses) will have taken place, which will need a new planning permission. (I61BA)

I62AA Alternative uses allowed for by Part 3, Class E of the GDO.

Under Part 3, Class E of Schedule 2 to the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development Order) 1995, the ÎN; floor can change between the ÎN; uses we have approved for 10 years without further planning permission. However, the actual use 10 years after the date of this permission will become the authorised use, so you will then need to apply for permission for any further change. (I62AA)


26

I63AA Intensification of Class B1 uses. The activities we have given permission for fall within Class B1. This means that they may be carried out in any residential area as long as they do not cause harm by noise, vibrations, smells, fumes, smoke or dust. However, if you increase the activities and it causes such harm, you may need to apply for further planning permission. (I63AA)

I64AA If varying C42AA or CA, explain why.

If you apply to us to vary the date set out in condition ÎN; for carrying out the extra work, you will need to clearly explain your reasons for asking for a later time limit. However, we will only vary the time limit in exceptional circumstances. (I64AA)

I64BA If varying C42BA, explain circumstances.

If you apply to us to vary the date set out in condition ÎN; for approving the details of the extra work, or for carrying out the work, you will need to clearly explain your reasons for asking for a later time limit. However, we will only vary the time limit in exceptional circumstances. (I64BA)

I65AA Archaeology - preservation when work below ground is proposed.

We want to preserve the archaeological remains on site. Your detailed design and method statement should include relevant drawings, technical notes and methods to show how you will do this. You should pay particular attention to the design of the foundations and new groundwork including piling, underpinning, new slab levels, slab construction, lift pits and new service trenches. Please contact ÎN; on ÎN; and English Heritage's Archaeological Officer on 020 7973 3732 to discuss the details we need. You should also contact our District Surveyors’ Services to make sure that you meet their requirements under the Building Regulations. (I65AA)

I66AA Archaeology - digging up and recording remains before development.

Developing this site is likely to damage archaeological remains. Archaeological work must be carried out in line with condition ÎN;. Please contact English Heritage’s Archaeological Officer on 020 7973 3732 to discuss the work which is necessary. (I66AA)

I68AA Archaeology - temporary support. Details of the temporary support referred to in condition ÎN; should take into account how the work will affect archaeological remains. (I68AA)


27

I69AB Threshold levels. The development will result in changes to road access points. Any new threshold levels in the building must be suitable for the levels of neighbouring roads. If you do not plan to make changes to the road and pavement you need to send us a drawing to show the threshold and existing road levels at each access point. If you need to change the level of the road, you must apply to our Highways section well before you start work. When considering the desired timing of highway works in relation to your own development programme please bear in mind that, under the Traffic Management Act 2004, all works on the highway require a permit, and (depending on the length of the highway works) up to three months advance notice may need to be given. You will need to provide survey drawings showing the existing and new levels of the road between the carriageway and the development. You will have to pay all administration, design, supervision and other costs. We will carry out any work which affects the road. For more advice, please phone 020 7641 2642. (I69AB)

I71AA Satellite dish on Council property. If the Council owns the freehold to your property or you are a council tenant, you must contact your local Housing Office for a licence to put up the satellite dish. (I71AA)


28

I72AA Class A3 uses and cooking. Under condition ^IN; you must not cook food in any way which is likely to cause a nuisance by smell.

You must not, for example, grill, fry, toast, braise, boil, bake, hot smoke or roast food. But you can reheat food by microwave or convection oven as long as you do not need extractor equipment. If you want to remove this condition you will need to send us full details of all the extractor equipment needed to get rid of cooking fumes. We will also consider the design and effect on neighbouring properties of any new ducts. (I72AA)

I73AB Contaminated land likely – use with C18AA.

Condition ^IN; refers to a publication called ‘Contaminated land, a guide to help developers meet planning requirements’ – produced in October 2003 by a group of London boroughs, including Westminster. You can get a copy of this and more information from our environmental health section at the address given below. Contaminated Land Officer Environmental Health Consultation Team Westminster City Council Westminster City Hall 64 Victoria Street London SW1E 6QP Phone: 020 7641 3153 (I73AB)

Note

Always use I73AA when C18AA has been imposed. However, I73BA or I73CA should be used instead of a condition where, on the advice of the Environmental Sciences Team, there is a smaller possibility of contamination.


29

I73BA Contaminated land possible – 1

(demolition of commercial, institutional or public buildings).

As this development involves demolishing commercial, institutional or public buildings, you should consider if there is any contaminated land from previous activities on the site. For example, this building may contain asbestos materials or hydrocarbon storage tanks associated with the heating system. Your investigation should follow the advice in ‘Contaminated land, A guide to help developers meet planning requirements’, which was produced in October 2003 by a group of London boroughs, including Westminster. You can get a copy from our environmental health consultation team at the address given below. A full site investigation would involve the following stages. Step 1: Desktop study Step 2: Detailed site investigation Step 3: Remediation strategy Step 4: Validation report (after completion) If you want our contaminated land officer to comment on your investigation reports, please send them to: Contaminated Land Officer Environmental Health Consultation Team Westminster City Council Westminster City Hall 64 Victoria Street London SW1E 6QP Phone: 020 7641 3153 (I73BA)

Note

Always use I73AB when C18AA has been imposed. However, I73BA or I73CA should be used instead of a condition where, on the advice of the Environmental Sciences Team, there is a smaller possibility of contamination.


30

I73CA Contaminated land possible – 2

(demolition – general). As this development involves demolishing the buildings on the site, we recommend that you survey the buildings thoroughly before demolition begins, to see if asbestos materials or other contaminated materials are present – for example, hydrocarbon tanks associated with heating systems. If you find any unexpected contamination while developing the site, you must contact: Contaminated Land Officer Environmental Health Consultation Team Westminster City Council Westminster City Hall 64 Victoria Street London SW1E 6QP Phone: 020 7641 3153 (I73CA)

I74AA Crime Prevention Design Adviser. Please contact a Metropolitan Police Crime Prevention Design Adviser about suitable security measures for your development. These might include ^IN;. You should also check whether these features will need planning approval. You should contact either

Gordon Semple on 020 7641 2073 or David Fisher on 07841 292 689.

They are based at:

Westminster City Hall 64 Victoria Street London SW1E 6QP (I74AA)

Note

Always use I73AB when C18AA has been imposed. However, I73BA or I73CA should be used instead of a condition where, on the advice of the Environmental Sciences Team, there is a smaller possibility of contamination.


31

I75AA Providing a building contract. Because building contracts are complicated, we must see the contract needed under condition ÎN; at

least six weeks before you need our decision. (I75AA)

I76AA Considerate Hoteliers scheme. We recommend all hoteliers to join the Westminster Considerate Hoteliers scheme and to support the Considerate Hoteliers Environmental Charter. This aims to promote good environmental practice in developing and managing hotels. For more information, please contact:

John Firrell MHCIMA Secretary, Considerate Hoteliers Association c/o Wheelwright's Cottage Litton Cheney Dorset DT2 9AR E-mail [email protected] Phone 01308 482313 (I76AA)

I77AA Grampian securing planning benefits – advice on what may be acceptable.

Under condition ÎN;, we are likely to accept a legal agreement under section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act to secure ÎN;, as set out in the letter dated ÎN; from ÎN;. Please look at the template wordings for planning obligations (listed under ‘Supplementary planning guidance’) on our website at www.westminster.gov.uk. Once the wording of the agreement has been finalised with our Legal and Administrative Services, you should write to us for approval of this way forward under this planning condition. (I77AA)

I77BA Grampian conditions – legal effect if submissions not made on time.

One or more of the conditions above prevent work starting on the development until you have applied for, and we have given, our approval for certain matters. It is important that you are aware that any work you start on the development before we have given our approval will not be authorised by this permission. (I77BA)

Note

It will sometimes be appropriate to add informative I77AA when imposing C19AA or C19BA, but not always. For full advice on the use of Grampian conditions to secure planning benefits, and when to use the informative, see section 1.6 of the electronic DC Manual, Appendix B, in particular paragraphs B1, B2 and B7.


32

I78AA Sui generis – meaning. One or more of the uses we have approved are referred to as being ‘sui generis’. This means that the use or uses are not in any particular class. Any future plans to materially (significantly) change the use that we have approved will need planning permission. (I78AA)

I79AA Supply copy of approved drawing and a copy of the planning permission.

When you apply to us to approve the details under the above conditions, we will be able to deal with your application more quickly if you send us a copy of this permission and the relevant approved drawings. (I79AA)

I80AB Environmental Health – Asbestos. Asbestos is the largest single cause of work-related death. People most at risk are those working in the construction industry who may inadvertently disturb asbestos containing materials (ACM’s). Where building work is planned it is essential that building owners or occupiers, who have relevant information about the location of ACM’s, supply this information to the main contractor (or the co-ordinator if a CDM project) prior to work commencing. For more information, visit the Health and Safety Executive website at www.hse.gov.uk/asbestos/regulations.htm (I80AB)

I80BB Environmental Health – Construction Regulations.

Under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007, clients, the CDM Coordinator, designers and contractors must plan, co-ordinate and manage health and safety throughout all stages of a building project. By law, designers must consider the following:

Hazards to safety must be avoided if it is reasonably practicable to do so or the risks of the hazard arising be reduced to a safe level if avoidance is not possible;

This not only relates to the building project itself but also to all aspects of the use of the completed building: any fixed workplaces (for example offices, shops, factories, schools etc) which are to be constructed must comply, in respect of their design and the materials used, with any requirements of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992. At the design stage particular attention must be given to incorporate safe schemes for the methods of cleaning windows and for preventing falls during maintenance such as for any high level plant.

Preparing a health and safety file is an important part of the regulations. This is a record of information for the client or person using the building, and tells them about the risks that have to be managed during future maintenance, repairs or renovation. For more information, visit the Health and Safety Executive website at www.hse.gov.uk/risk/index.htm. It is now possible for local authorities to prosecute any of the relevant parties with respect to non compliance with the CDM Regulations after the completion of a building project, particularly if such non compliance has resulted in a death or major injury.

Note

If using I78AA, remember to modify the text if the particular sui generis use could change to a specified Use Class as Permitted Development (e.g. a casino, which could change to D2; or a car showroom, which could change to A1; etc).

I80CB Environmental Health – Falls from

Heights. Every year in the UK, about 70 people are killed and around 4,000 are seriously injured as a result of falling from height. You should carefully consider the following.

Window cleaning – where possible, install windows that can be cleaned safely from within the building.

Internal atria – design these spaces so that glazing can be safely cleaned and maintained.

Lighting – ensure luminaires can be safely accessed for replacement

Roof plant – provide safe access including walkways and roof edge protection where necessary (but these may need further planning permission).

More guidance can be found on the Health and Safety Executive website at www.hse.gov.uk/falls/index.htm. (I80CB) Note: Window-cleaning cradles and tracking should blend in as much as possible with the appearance of the building when not in use. If you decide to use equipment not shown in your drawings which will affect the appearance of the building, you will need to apply separately for planning permission. (I80CB)

I80DB Environmental Health – Lighting,

Heating and Ventilation. You must ensure that the environment within a workplace meets the minimum standard set out in the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 with respect to lighting, heating and ventilation. Detailed information about these regulations can be found at www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/indg244.pdf. (I80DB)

I80EB Environmental Health – Manual Handling.

Manual-handling accidents account for 38% of all reported accidents. Careful consideration at the design stage can eliminate or reduce the need for manual handling within buildings, for example the location of delivery areas in relation to store rooms and access to and the position of plant rooms. There is more guidance on the Health and Safety Executive website at http://www.hse.gov.uk/msd/index.htm (I80EB)

34

I80FB Environmental Health – Preventing

slips and trips. Slips and trips lead to 25% of all reported major injuries and 50% of all reported accidents to members of the public. You must pay particular attention to preventing slips and trips by the careful selection of floor finishes that provide suitable slip resistance within common parts (including where appropriate when wet). Floor level changes should be clearly delineated and where appropriate stair treads fitted with contrasting slip resistant nosing. You should also prevent or control the amount of rainwater introduced onto floors by the careful design of entrance ways that incorporate canopies and absorbent entrance matting. There is more guidance on the Health and Safety Executive website at www.hse.gov.uk/slips/index.htm. (I80FB)

I80HA Environmental Health – Sanitary and washing facilities.

Buildings must be provided with appropriate welfare facilities for staff who work in them and for visiting members of the public. Detailed advice on the provision of sanitary conveniences, washing facilities and the provision of drinking water can be found in guidance attached to the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992. www.opsi.gov.uk/SI/si1992/Uksi_19923004_en_1.htm The following are available from the British Standards Institute – see http://shop.bsigroup.com/ BS 6465-1:2006: Sanitary installations. Code of practice for the design of sanitary facilities and scales of provision of sanitary and associated appliances. BS 6465-3:2006: Sanitary installations. Code of practice for the selection, installation and maintenance of sanitary and associated appliances. (I80HA)

I81AA Biodiversity – encouragement for inclusion in scheme – general.

You should include features that improve biodiversity when designing the development and any open areas. For more advice, please speak to our Biodiversity Project Manager on 020 7641 1951. (I81AA)

I81BA Biodiversity encouragement for inclusion in scheme – in areas of deficiency.

This site is inside an ‘area of wildlife deficiency’ as set out in ENV 17 (C) of our Unitary Development Plan that we adopted in January 2007. So, you should include environmental features that improve public access to nature when designing the development and any open areas. For more advice, please speak to our Biodiversity Project Manager on 020 7641 1951. (I81BA)

I82AA Noise enforcement. *insert all relevant noise conditions e.g. 4, 5 and 6.

Conditions ^IN; control noise from the approved machinery. It is very important that you meet the conditions and we may take legal action if you do not. You should make sure that the machinery is properly maintained and serviced regularly. (I82AA)

I82BA Environmental Health - Controlling noise at work.

In premises that are to be used for entertainment purposes, where there may be a risk to employees from their exposure to high noise levels, the design and layout must seek to minimise such exposure so far as is reasonably practicable. For further information and guidance, please see: www.hse.gov.uk/noise/musicsound.htm.

I82CA Marking plant equipment. You are advised to permanently mark the plant/ machinery hereby approved with the details of this permission (date of grant, registered number). This will assist in future monitoring of the equipment by the City Council if and when complaints are received.

I83AA CAC not needed – no major demolition. Remember to refer to all outstanding applications such as related advert or listed building consent applications.

You do not need to apply for conservation area consent because you are not planning major demolition work. We will deal with your separate application for planning permission in the normal way. (I83AA)

http://www.hse.gov.uk/noise/musicsound.htm

I84AA CAC not needed – site not in a conservation area. Remember to refer to all outstanding applications such as related advert or listed building consent applications.

You do not need to make an application for conservation area consent because the site is not in a conservation area. We will deal with your separate application for planning permission in the normal way. (I84AA)

I85AA LBC not needed –minor works. Remember to refer to all outstanding applications such as related advert or planning applications.

You do not need to make an application for listed building consent because the work you plan does not affect the special architectural or historic character of the building. We will deal with your separate application for planning permission in the normal way. (I85AA)

I86AA LBC not needed – site not listed. Remember to refer to all outstanding applications such as related advert or conservation area consent applications.

You do not need to make an application for listed building consent because the site is not a listed building. We will deal with your separate application for planning permission in the normal way. (I86AA)

I87AA Split advert decision. We have only given you consent for the following part of your application; ÎN;. The rest of your application which covers ÎN; is dealt with in a separate decision letter (Reference ÎN;). (I87AA)

I88AA Waste - marking out storage areas. The term ‘clearly mark’ in condition ÎN; means marked by a permanent wall notice or floor markings, or both. (I88AA)


37

I89AA AOD relating to a structural

engineers’ report. * insert name of the engineers. ** insert date of their report. You must get the agreement of a principal designer or Area Team Leader before you use this informative.

Our approval is based on ÎN; structural engineering scheme dated ÎN;. Because of the professional qualifications of this company we have not done any double-checking or appointed our own consultant engineers. We are relying on the knowledge and qualifications of your consultants. You and the consultants are responsible for carrying out the work in a way that will cause as little disturbance to the listed buildings as possible. You must send us any changes you want to make to the approved structural engineer's scheme so that we can approve them under the terms of condition ÎN;. (I89AA)

I90BA Shroud Advert You are reminded of our policy to control advertising hoardings and shrouds around building sites, this is set out in DES 8 of our Unitary Development Plan that we adopted in January 2007. The policy resists large displays above ground floor level but can allow well designed shrouds which respond sensitively and appropriate to their surroundings, provided of course that express advertisement consent is first obtained from the City Council. We believe that your building site could be a suitable one for the provision of a temporary decorative shroud and you are invited to contact ÎN; to discuss a suitable proposal. (I90BA)

I91AA Sustainability – encourage inclusion.

You should include environmental sustainability features in your development. For more advice on this, please look at our supplementary planning guidance on ‘Sustainable buildings’. This will make sure that the development causes as little damage as possible to the environment. However, if the features materially (significantly) affect the appearance of the outside of the building, this is likely to need planning permission. (I91AA)


38

I92AA Trees – useful publications. Please read the following.

British Standard BS: 5837 (2005) and later revisions – Recommendations for trees in relation to construction

National Joint Utilities Group guide NJUG 10 – Guidelines for the planning, installation and maintenance of utility services in proximity to trees (1995)

Arboricultural Practice Note APN 1 – Driveways close to trees (1996), and the products available to provide hard surfaces close to trees. (I92AA)

I92BA Trees – advise when work starts. Please let our arboricultural team (020 7641 2922) know when you are going to start work on the site. It

would be useful if you could give us at least five working days’ notice of this date. This will allow us to inspect your tree-protection measures during the work. (I92BA)

I92CA Trees- list of consultants. There is a list of arboricultural consultants who have been approved by the Arboricultural Association at www.trees.org.uk. (I92CA)

I92DA Trees – advise your staff of agreed measures; reminder re enforcement.

You must protect the trees during demolition and building work (as set out in your arboricultural method statement), and you must make sure that people working on the site know that the trees are protected and the methods that have been agreed. If you do not keep to this condition, we may take enforcement action. You may also be prosecuted for damaging or destroying protected trees, under section 210 and 211 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. (I92DA)

http://www.trees.org.uk/


39

I92EA Tree works method statement Condition ^IN; requires you to submit a method statement for works to a tree(s). The method statement

must be prepared by an arboricultural consultant (tree and shrub) who is registered with the Arboricultural Association, or who has the level of qualifications or experience (or both) needed to be registered. It must include details of:

the order of work on the site, including demolition, site clearance and building work;

who will be responsible for protecting the trees on the site;

plans for inspecting and supervising the tree protection, and how you will report and solve problems;

how you will deal with accidents and emergencies involving trees;

planned tree surgery;

how you will protect trees, including where the protective fencing and temporary ground protection will be, and how you will maintain that fencing and protection throughout the development;

how you will remove existing surfacing, and how any soil stripping will be carried out;

how any temporary surfaces will be laid and removed;

the surfacing of any temporary access for construction traffic;

the position and depth of any trenches for services, pipelines or drains, and how they will be dug;

site facilities, and storage areas for materials, structures, machinery, equipment or piles of soil and where cement or concrete will be mixed;

how machinery and equipment (such as excavators, cranes and their loads, concrete pumps and piling rigs) will enter, move on, work on and leave the site;

the place for any bonfires (if necessary);

any planned raising or lowering of existing ground levels; and

how any roots cut during the work will be treated. (I92EA)

I93AA Internal noise levels for residential Condition ^IN; requires the submission of sound insulation measures and a PPG24 Noise Assessment Report to predict internal noise levels with the proposed residential units. Your assessment should include a BS8223 façade calculation using the glazing and ventilation specification to demonstrate that the required internal noise levels are achievable. (I93AA)


40

I94AA Non-material amendment – agree

amendment(s) The City Council agrees that the amendments to which this decision letter relates are sufficiently minor in terms of their scale and impact (both individually and cumulatively) in planning terms having regard to the overall scope of the previously approved development, so as to constitute non-material amendments to the planning permission dated ÎN;. This letter does not constitute a new planning permission. You must still keep to the terms and conditions of the original planning permission except where amended by this decision.

I94BA Non-material amendment – LBC required

The proposals are materially different to those granted listed building consent on ÎN; and so a new application for listed building consent is required.

I94CA Non-material amendment – LBC not required

The proposals are not materially different to those granted listed building consent on ÎN; and so a new application for listed building consent is not required.

I95AA Thames Water piling consultation Fractures and ruptures can cause burst water mains, low water pressure or sewer flooding. You are advised to consult with Thames Water on the piling methods and foundation design to be employed with this development in order to help minimise the potential risk to their network. Please contact:

Thames Water Utilities Ltd Development Planning Maple Lodge STW Denham Way Rickmansworth Hertfordshire WD3 9SQ Tel: 01923 898072 Email: [email protected]

Notes For I94AA, I94BA and I94CA the date of the permission or LBC and the reference number should be inserted.

I96AA CIL liable development. This development has been identified as potentially liable for payment of the Mayor of London's

Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). Responsibility for paying the levy runs with the ownership of the land, unless another party has assumed liability. We will issue a CIL Liability Notice to the landowner or the party that has assumed liability with a copy to the planning applicant as soon as practicable setting out the estimated CIL charge. If you have not already done so you must submit an {\b\ul Assumption of Liability Form} to ensure that the CIL liability notice is issued to the correct party. This form is available on the planning portal at {\i http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/planning/applications/howtoapply/whattosubmit/cil} Further details on the Mayor of London's Community Infrastructure Levy can be found on our website at: {\i http://www.westminster.gov.uk/services/environment/planning/apply/mayoral-cil/}. {\b You are reminded that payment of the CIL charge is mandatory and there are strong enforcement powers and penalties for failure to pay}.

I97AA Use of sound insulation and ventilation mitigation measures.

Approval for this residential use has been given on the basis of sound insulation and ventilation mitigation measures being incorporated into the development to prevent ingress of external noise. Occupiers are therefore advised, that once the premises are occupied, any request under the Licensing Act 2003, Environmental Protection Act 1990, Control of Pollution Act 1974 or planning legislation for local authority officers to make an assessment for noise nuisance arising from external sources is likely to be undertaken only if the noise and ventilation mitigation measures installed are in operation. E.g. windows kept closed.

I98AA Basement structural methodology report.

This permission is based on the drawings and reports submitted by you including the structural methodology report. For the avoidance of doubt this report has not been assessed by the City Council and as a consequence we do not endorse or approve it in anyway and have included it for information purposes only. Its effect is to demonstrate that a member of the appropriate institution applying due diligence has confirmed that the works proposed are feasible without risk to neighbouring properties or the building itself. The construction itself will be subject to the building regulations and the construction methodology chosen will need to satisfy these regulations in all respects.

Reasons for Approval Explanatory Notes

Whenever possible, the reason for approval should be the first informative – this is because Sub-Committee recommendations

now seek members endorsement of the draft reason for approval, and this informative should therefore be easy to locate in the decision letter. (This is, in any case, good practice for clarity for anyone reading the decision letter).

J04AA onwards are a series of standard formats for common straightforward situations. It had been hoped that standard wordings for

extensions and land use cases could also be produced. However, this has not proved realistic due to the number of permutations – e.g. a simple retail extension could be one of 20 variations, depending on whether or not the building is listed, inside or outside a conservation area, in CAZ (Prime/not Prime) or Outside CAZ (District, Local or neither), and whether the extension is at roof level or at rear.

Remember that on those rare occasions that an unconditional listed building consent or unconditional conservation area consent are granted, a summary of reasons for approval is also required – see J02AA and J03AA.

J11AA Development unacceptable in principle

In dealing with this application the City Council has implemented the requirement in the National Planning Policy Framework to work with the applicant in a positive and proactive way so far as practicable. We have made available detailed advice in the form of our statutory policies in Westminster’s City Plan: Strategic Policies/ Unitary Development Plan, Supplementary Planning documents, planning briefs and other informal written guidance, as well as offering a full pre application advice service. However, we have been unable to seek solutions to problems as the principle of the proposal is clearly contrary to our statutory policies and negotiation could not overcome the reasons for refusal.

J12AA Development may be acceptable with amendments

In dealing with this application the City Council has implemented the requirement in the National Planning Policy Framework to work with the applicant in a positive and proactive way so far as practicable. We have made available detailed advice in the form of our statutory policies in Westminster’s City Plan: Strategic Policies/ Unitary Development Plan, Supplementary Planning documents, planning briefs and other informal written guidance, as well as offering a full pre application advice service, in order to ensure that the applicant has been given every opportunity to submit an application which is likely to be considered favourably. In addition further guidance was offered to the applicant at the validation stage and/or by the case officer to the applicant during the processing of the application (SELECT AS APPROPRIATE) to identify amendments to address those elements of the scheme considered unacceptable. However, the necessary amendments to make the application acceptable are substantial and would materially change the development proposal. They would require further consultations to be undertaken prior to determination, which could not take place within the statutory determination period specified by the Department of Communities and Local Government. You are therefore encouraged to consider submission of a fresh application incorporating the material amendments set out below which are necessary to make the scheme acceptable.
