of 36

2. Site Description

2.1 The application site (the ‘Site’) contains the Streatham & Clapham High School, which is a

private school for girls, located on Abbotswood Road in Streatham. The school is arranged

over four storeys and is located immediately to the east of the boundary between the London

Boroughs of Lambeth and Wandsworth.

2.2 The site is located immediately to the north of the Streatham Park and Garrad’s Road

Conservation Area (CA12) but is not located within this conservation area and does not

contain any statutory or locally listed buildings. The Site is located on the western border of

the borough with the London Borough of Wandsworth.

2.3 The site is located in an area with poor public transport accessibility, having a Public

Transport Accessibility Level (PTAL) of 2. It is not an area with parking controls through a

Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ). However, public consultation is to take place this year on

whether to introduce a CPZ in the area surrounding the site, with a formal decision due in

early 2020.

2.4 There is a vehicular access to the school for minibuses from Abbotswood Road, immediately

opposite the junction between Abbotswood Road and Hoadly Road. There is also a car park

with 20 no. spaces, accessed from The Spinney. However, condition 32 of 14/01361/FUL

prevents the gates of this car park from being opened between the 19:00hrs and 08:00hrs

the following day, thus preventing staff from using this car park if they arrive at the site earlier

than 08:00hrs.

2.5 The school have the current parking facilities:

74 covered cycle spaces using ‘Sheffield’ type stands

30 cycle spaces using cycle racks

4 folding cycle lockers

1 motorcycle parking space

20 staff car parking spaces in The Spinney car park

1 disabled car parking space

1 visitor car parking space

6 minibus parking bays

2.6 To the west of the Site is a train line with Tooting Bec Common beyond. To the east, lies

Abbotswood Road, which is a residential street. The area to the east of the Site is

predominantly residential in character.

of 36

3. Proposed Development

3.1 This application proposes the variation of condition 33 of planning permission 14/01361/FUL

for:

‘Demolition of 1 and 2 storey buildings adjoining the eastern elevation of the main school

building along with the erection of a single storey roof extension to create a fourth floor to

provide a separate sixth form centre, erection of single storey extension to north/eastern

elevation (facing Abbotswood Road) to provide kitchen, cafe, indoor and outdoor dining

areas, erection of link between the existing Millennium Building, sports hall and main

school building, erection of four storey extension to provide plant rooms, lift shaft and

stairwell to serve fourth floor on the eastern and western wing, formation of a new sub-

station; along with landscaping and new boundary treatments. A reduction in staff car

parking spaces on site from 26 to 20 and an increase of cycle spaces from 30 to 56.’

3.2 Condition 33 currently states:

‘The School shall accommodate no more than 505 pupil places in total unless the prior

written permission of the Local Planning Authority is obtained via the submission of a

planning application.

Reason: To avoid hazard and obstruction being caused to users of the public highway,

and to minimise the impact upon parking and traffic pressures in the vicinity of the school

in the interest of highway safety (Policy 9 of the Unitary Development Plan: Policies saved

beyond 5th August 2010 and not superseded by the Local Development Framework Core

Strategy (January 2011) and Policy S4 of the Local Development Framework Core

Strategy (January 2011)).’

3.3 The proposed amendment to this condition seeks to increase the number of pupils that are

permitted to be enrolled at the school, or attend the school at any one time, to a maximum of

650. Currently, the pupil roll is limited to 505 by this condition. It is noted that the school are

currently not operating within the limits of this condition, and has a pupil roll at this school of

560-570. It is understood that this condition has not been complied with for a period of

approximately one year and is subject to an enforcement investigation.

3.4 The proposed new condition wording is as follows:

‘The School shall enrol and accommodate no more than 650 pupil places in total at any

one time (which, for the avoidance of doubt relates solely to the Senior School located on

Abbotswood Road) unless otherwise agreed by the Local Planning Authority.’

3.5 The requirements of the original condition 1 would be removed as this required the

development to be implemented within three years of the date of the original permission.

This has been complied with as the alterations and extension to the school has been fully

constructed.

4. Relevant Planning History

Planning Application History

4.1 The original planning consent is as follows:

14/01361/FUL - Application Permitted - Decision date: 14.08.2014 Demolition of 1 and 2 storey buildings adjoining the eastern elevation of the main school building along with the erection of a single storey roof extension to create a fourth floor to provide a separate sixth form centre, erection of single storey extension to north/eastern elevation (facing Abbotswood Road) to provide kitchen, cafe, indoor and outdoor dining areas, erection of link between the existing Millennium Building, sports hall and main school building, erection of four storey extension to provide plant rooms, lift shaft and stairwell to serve fourth floor on the eastern and western wing, formation of a new sub-station; along with landscaping and new boundary treatments. A reduction in staff car parking spaces on site from 26 to 20 and an increase of cycle spaces from 30 to 56.

4.4 None.

5. Consultation

5.1 Public consultation was undertaken in accordance with statutory and council requirements as

follows:

Neighbours

Number of neighbours consulted: 326 Number of objections: 50 Number in support: 44 Number neither supporting nor objecting: 0 Comments can be summarised as follows:

Support

Due to the increasing population, there is a demand for school spaces. The school

provides an opportunity to take pressure off the state schools and other areas, provide

additional pupils without expanding the current building and is a well-established

educational facility for the community.

The increase will be over time and is not considered to be an excessive increase from the

number capped in the original application.

Other than educational facilities the school provides employment within the area.

of 36

The school’s traffic management plan is effective with large amounts of pupils using

sustainable transport modes and only a small number using private vehicles. The pupils

and parents are respectful to neighbours with a maximum of 15 minutes in the morning

Monday Friday for only 18 weeks a year of higher levels of congestion, which is

considered to be minimal. The increase in pupil numbers would not have a notable

difference compared with the current situation.

The school is on a bus route and within walking distance of a train station.

The city has many causes of pollution and the solution is not to limit the number of pupils

in this small area.

The school has connections to other local schools. Positive comments from these schools

have been received and comments on the success of the link between them and the

school and the benefits it brings to the local community. The school provides outreach and

partnership activities along with bursaries to these schools.

The introduction of a CPZ could be a solution to parking pressures and on street parking.

The school is integral part of the community and goes to great lengths to be sensitive to

any reasonable concerns expressed by local residents and invites them to school events.

Summary of Objections Officer Response

Transport

The area is already congested due

to the traffic from the school and the

area is under parking stress. An

increase in pupil numbers will further

add to the traffic in the area,

especially during drop-off and pick-

up times and result in additional

parking stress. This has an impact

on the neighbouring streets with

residents unable to leave their

driveways, park and needing to

convert their gardens to drives etc.

This is resulting in a cumulative

effect on the area with regard to

traffic and congestion.

Please refer to the ‘Transport’ section of the

report.

Blocking of driveways is discouraged by the

school and when this does occur, it generally only

occurs for brief periods when cars are stopping to

drop-off or pick-up pupils.

The travel survey uses incorrect

baseline data and is taken from the

current pupil numbers of 558 rather

than approved 505. Therefore the

numbers are incorrect.

Please refer to the ‘Transport’ section of the report

which outlines the basement data and also the

assessment against the pupil cap of 505, as set

out in the current condition 33.

of 36

The street is considered to be

narrow for cars (and coaches) to

pass each other. The streets are

already unsafe for pedestrians and

cyclists due to the narrowness and

the amount of cars, some of which

act unsafely. This is causing

accidents and arguments in the

area.

It is preferred if the school could

make better provision for access

with existing numbers by restricting

access to Abbotswood Road.


report.

The Transport Statement (TS) and Lambeth’s

Transport Officer did not consider that the street is

too narrow to accommodate the current and

proposed transport demand. There are also no

reports of road-traffic accidents on the roads

immediately adjacent to the school in the past five

years, as shown in the TS. Restricting access to

Abbotswood Road is not required and would not

be appropriate in this instance, noting its difficulty

to enforce and that it would likely result in

transport issues in other areas.

Parking outside of drop-off and pick-

up times needs to be considered for

staff and visitors. The school also

has after-school activities and

visitors using the sports pitch

parking within the area and this

should be considered.


report. The parking stress study was a six beat

surveys and considers the staff and visitors on the

day of the study.

While there are some evening and after-school

events, it is not predicted that the proposed

increase in pupil numbers would result in a

substantial increase in traffic or parking stress at

the times of these events.

There is a lack of available public

transport to mitigate traffic in the

area. The bus is not considered to

be frequent with only 3 no. buses

per hour. This should be increased

due to Broomwood Hall School

becoming a secondary school.

While this is noted, the bus frequency would be for

TfL to consider and would not be an issue that the

Local Planning Authority (LPA) under this

application.

More protection is needed for

pedestrians and cyclists. It is

suggested to install a pedestrian

safety Refuge Island where Hoadly

and Abbotswood join.

Transport officers do not consider any junction

works are needed as a result of these proposals,

and therefore, junction improvements do not form

part of this application.

The Transport Statement (TS) does

not adhere to the council’s pre-

application advice regard to the

methodology for assessing transport

impacts.


report.

The TS has been reviewed by Lambeth’s

Transport Officers and considered that it was

acceptable.

of 36

The TS and Planning Statement are

contradictory and incorrect with

numbers within the transport

assessments being downplayed or

exaggerated and the TS

ignoring/incorrectly presenting

certain elements for both pupils and

staff modal shares. Surveys

provided by residents have shown

the impact of the existing pupil roll is

greater than is stated in the TS.

The TS has been reviewed by Lambeth’s

Transport Officers and a separate analysis was

conducted by the LPA, whose results were similar

to the TS. Furthermore, officers have attended the

site in the morning drop-off period to review the

impact of the existing pupil roll and to assess how

this is managed. It is considered that the impact of

the proposed pupil roll of 650 is acceptable.

Please refer to the ‘Transport’ section of the report

for further information.

The school are not currently meeting

the targets set out in the approved

Travel Plan for a reduction in private

vehicle trips. The private vehicle

trips associated with the proposed

development would be higher than

that set out in the originally proposed

Travel Plan, which was refused

under application reference

16/04822/DET due to not being

ambitious enough in respect of

targets to reduce private vehicle

travel to and from the school. This

application should therefore not be

supported.


report, which sets out why officers consider the

proposed pupil roll of 650 to have an acceptable

impact on the operation of the local highway

network.

The purpose of the Travel Plan is to promote more

sustainable modes of travel to and from the

school, not to make the impact of vehicular traffic

acceptable on the basis of 505 pupils, or the now

proposed pupil roll cap of 650. It does however

assist in mitigating the impact of vehicular traffic

from the school.

The LPA recognise that the high aspirations of the

Travel Plan in respect of active travel are not

currently being met.

If targets are not met, the onus is on the school to

increase its efforts to reduce car travel, however

the Travel Plan targets give mode share

objectives in terms of percentages, rather than

legally binding caps. The targets are ambitious to

encourage the school and are only targets.

As part of this application the school has agreed to

appoint a ‘Bike-It Officer’ to help the school

achieve its targets set out in the approved Travel

Plan. This is secured by condition.

The school is located next to a cycle

highway but numbers are low and

pupils may be discouraged due to

narrow roads and cars.

To encourage more cycling and walking, a ‘Bike-It

Officer’ is to attend the school for a period of two

years, which has been secured via a condition.

of 36

The applicant does not refer to travel

plan targets or how they will be

reducing car use under this

application.

The applicant has noted that the school will

continue to implement its Travel Plan (which was

permitted under Condition 17 (16/05765/DET) of

application ref. 14/01361/FUL) with an aim to

reduce further the number of people arriving to

and departing the school by private vehicles and

to reduce the number of school-related vehicles

parked locally.

The school will also be providing a ‘Bike-It Officer’

to assist in achieving the targets set out in the

approved Travel Plan. The ‘Bike-It Officer’ will

promote active travel, modes such as walking and

cycling.

Requirement of the Travel Plan to

meet four times a year as part of the

working group. The group has met

once in the past year due to school

not fixing a date and only arranged it

due to intervention from the council.

Noted. However, an amendment to the approved

Travel Plan is not considered necessary as a

result of this application.

The code of conduct and traffic

arrangements are not being

observed by all parents. There are

too many cars showing bad

behaviour which was noted in the

TS. Cars often do not follow the

correct route and turn around in the

street. The traffic marshals do not

speak to the customers who park

illegally or unsafely.

Officers note that there are some parents who do

not follow the correct procedures. However, the

school do continue to encourage parents to follow

them with signs, the code of conduct and staff

marshalling during the drop-off and collection

periods.

The application has not included a

Deliveries and Servicing

Management Plan.

The applicant has a waste management strategy

approved under condition 19 of the original

application and the current application will not

significantly change servicing requirements of the

approved development, as set out in the TS

provided with the original application and the TS

provided in this application. A further Deliveries

and Servicing and Management Plan is therefore

not considered necessary to make this application

acceptable.

of 36

The application should conduct

modelling of the surrounding roads.

The LPA did not consider this to be necessary and

that the data provided in the TS was sufficient for

this application.

The headmaster informed residents

that there would be an increase in

the number of forms from three to

four. This will lead to an increase in

staff that needs to be included in the

TS.

Within the response to representations the

applicant has confirmed that this is not true. The

school currently has four form groups in all but

one of Year 7 to Year 11 and new classes are not

being introduced. Were additional teachers to be

employed from that currently anticipated, it would

not result in a significant or unacceptable

additional impact.

Air Quality

The increase in pupil numbers will

result in harmful pollution and an

increase in car emissions. This in

turn harms the young and elderly

and is dangerous for the school

pupils and has health impacts.

A technical assessment has been provided and

been reviewed by the council’s internal specialists

and it is considered that the impact from the

proposed development is within acceptable limits.

Questions on how this applications

fits in with Lambeth’s plan to

become a carbon neutral borough by

2030 and comply with sustainable

travel policy which seeks to reduce

private car travel.

The Air Quality Assessment is based

on findings in the TS which are

incorrect and also does not consider

the spikes in car emission.

Refer to ‘Air Quality’ and ‘Transport’ section of the

report.

A ‘school streets’ programme could

be applied to this school to prevent

access to the roads surrounding the

school by those other than residents

at the times of drop-off and

collection. The school should

produce an environmental plan.

The transport officer advised that a ‘school street’

in this location could be difficult to manage and

shift the school’s drop-off/pick-up requirements

elsewhere. Implementing a ‘school street’ policy in

this location is not considered necessary to make

this application acceptable in planning terms. It is

also recommended mostly for primary schools

rather than secondary schools, as primary schools

tend to result in more vehicular trips than

secondary schools.

of 36

There are campaigns/research to

help improve air quality: Mums for

Lungs, Greta Thunberg, Car Free

Day, Times Newspaper, University

publications, Leave your car at home

campaigns.

Noted.

The offer from the school for the

‘Bike-It Officer’ to attend the site for

half a day for every two weeks is

less frequent than what the council

requested in its pre-application

advice letter.

Further to the advice given in the pre-application

advice, it is considered that the frequency for the

‘Bike-It Officer’ to attend the site as now proposed,

is what is necessary to assist the school with

meeting their Travel Plan targets.

Noise

Noise from early in the morning and

often late at night from cars and

pupils. This can cause disturbance

to residents.

Refer to paragraphs within 7.7.1 and 7.7.2 of the

report on ‘Amenity’.

Other

There has been no evidence that an

increase in pupil places for the

school would increase or create

additional secondary school places

in other state schools.

Noted - Within the Planning Statement Paragraph

3.7 it states that the increase will allow

opportunities to larger numbers of pupils. The

school has confirmed they are committed to this,

however, this is something that cannot be secured

by a condition.

The school has breached conditions

from the original application more

than once – should not be approved

as they are regularly breaching

planning rules.

The LPA are aware of the breaches referred to

and enforcement cases have been opened and

are investigated through a formal process on a

case by case basis.

The school needs to contribute

financial S106 contributions for the

local area.

S106 obligations need to be proportionate to the

scale of the development and they should only be

applied when they are required to make the

development acceptable in planning terms. S106

obligations are not considered appropriate for this

application for the reasons set out in the report.

However, a ‘Bike-It Officer’ has been secured via

a condition.

of 36

The community engagement and

events did not capture local

community opinion.

The LPA consider the community engagement is

welcomed. The school has said that they are open

to feedback on how to structure future community

workshops better.

The school have not met the

validation requirements on

community engagement.

The LPA consider it has met the validation

requirements for a valid application and that it has

sufficient information in order to determine this

application. The application was also subject to an

extended statutory consultation period by the LPA.

Need confirmation that the additional

pupil numbers would not result in

further building works and that

utilities can cope with additional

numbers.

The proposal does not include any proposed

building works and the applicant has confirmed

that the current buildings can meet the increase in

pupil numbers.

The utilities would not be a planning consideration

for this application.

Concern raised over the ownership

and use of the hockey pitch.

This does not form a part of this application.

The fourth floor will impinge the

privacy of the neighbouring

properties as it overlooks their

gardens.

This application does not result in any building

works.

The school in the original planning

permission in 2014 said that no

increase was proposed to pupil

numbers.

Noted.

No catchment survey has been

conducted to capture the current

travel locations of pupils.

Officers do not consider that the catchment area

of the school will significantly change following the

proposed development.

The Local Plan (2015) only supports

expansion of school numbers for

state schools.

There is no objection to providing additional

private school places at the site, noting Lambeth

Local Plan (2015) policy S3 is concerned with

state-funded school places.

A contingency plan should be put in

place in-case the application is

refused, so that the school are able

to bring their pupil roll down to the

currently permitted number of 505, in

a timely manner.

This is not necessary given this application is

approved.

of 36

The increase in pupil numbers

should be a gradual increase.

The impact of the proposed pupil roll of 650 pupils

is considered acceptable, and using planning

controls to ensure that the increase up occurs

gradually is not considered to be necessary.

Concerns that the pupil roll at the

school could increase further beyond

650.

A further planning application would be required

for this.

The references to the former school

that operated at the site with high

numbers of pupils should not be

given much weight in the decision

given the length of time that has

passed since the previous occupier

vacated the site.

Whilst this context is relevant, the impact of the

proposed pupil roll of 650 has been assessed on

the basis of the existing situation and that of the

consented pupil roll of 505.

Consultees

Transport Lambeth

No objections.

The officer considered that the development would not result in a significant or unacceptable

increase in impact from the permitted situation. Further mitigation is not required, but a

condition is suggested to require a ‘Bike-It Officer’ to attend the site. This is someone who

would promote more sustainable methods of travel to and from the site such as cycling and

walking, and help the school achieve their high aspirations for active travel, as set out in the

approved Travel Plan.

Sustainability Team on Air Quality

No objections.

LBL Noise Pollution

No objections.

5.2 A consultation response was also received from Cllr Griffiths, who is a St. Leonard’s Ward

Member. The Cllr requested that the application be determined by the Planning Applications

Committee (PAC) to fully consider matters of transport, air quality and noise. The Cllr

requested that a ‘school streets’ policy (which is where Abbotswood Road would become a

no drop-off/pick-up area at the beginning and end of every school day) be considered at this

site and/or other conditions be considered to help reduce the amount of vehicular traffic at

the school from drop-off and collection.

5.2.1 Officer Response: This call-in request was subsequently rejected by the Chair of the PAC,

noting the assessment carried out by officers. The impact of the proposed development is

considered acceptable for the reasons given in the report and therefore, a ‘school streets’

policy was not considered necessary.

of 36

6. Policy

6.1 Section 38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 requires planning

decisions to be made in accordance with the development plan unless material

considerations indicate otherwise.

6.2 The development plan in Lambeth is the London Plan (MALP 2016), and the Lambeth Local

Plan (September 2015). Together with council Supplementary Planning Documents, the

National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and National Planning Practice Guidance

(NPPG) are material considerations alongside the council’s development plan.

6.3 The new Draft London Plan was published on 1 December 2017 (updated August 2018) for

consultation and will eventually supersede the current 2016 consolidated London Plan once

the final version is published (anticipated late 2019). The Draft London Plan is a material

consideration in planning decisions. Officers consider that this should be afforded very

limited weight at this stage. The Lambeth Local Plan is currently under partial review to

ensure it complies with amendments to changes in the NPPF and London Plan. The Local

Plan review is timetabled to follow the programme for the Draft London Plan. Consultation for

the Draft Revised Local Plan commenced on 22nd October 2017. At this time the proposed

amendments to the Local Plan carry very limited weight.

6.4 Set out below are those policies most relevant to the application, however, consideration is

made against the development plan as a whole.

7.1 The key planning considerations are the principle of development, land use, transport, air

quality, impact on neighbouring amenity in respect of noise, and impact on the conservation

area.

7.2 Principle of Development

7.2.1 This application is made under section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (‘the

Act’). This allows conditions associated with a planning permission to be varied or removed.

A function of section 73 applications is to seek a ‘minor material amendment’, where there is

a relevant condition that can be varied. There is no statutory definition of a ‘minor material

amendment’ but the Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) explains that this is likely to include

any amendment where its scale and/or nature results in a development which is not

substantially different from the one which has been approved. The approach that should be

taken to section 73 applications is not to reassess the merits of the approved development

but instead to consider the merits of the condition or conditions that are proposed to be

varied or removed. Where an application under section 73 is granted, the effect is the issue

of a new planning permission, sitting alongside the original permission, which remains intact

and unaltered.

7.2.2 This application seeks to amend condition 33 of planning permission ref. 14/01361/FUL,

which was for:

Demolition of 1 and 2 storey buildings adjoining the eastern elevation of the main school

building along with the erection of a single storey roof extension to create a fourth floor to

provide a separate sixth form centre, erection of single storey extension to north/eastern

elevation (facing Abbotswood Road) to provide kitchen, cafe, indoor and outdoor dining

areas, erection of link between the existing Millennium Building, sports hall and main

school building, erection of four storey extension to provide plant rooms, lift shaft and

stairwell to serve fourth floor on the eastern and western wing, formation of a new sub-

station; along with landscaping and new boundary treatments. A reduction in staff car

parking spaces on site from 26 to 20 and an increase of cycle spaces from 30 to 56).

7.2.3 Officers consider that the amendments, by virtue of their scale and nature, would not result in

a development that is materially different from the development approved under planning

permission ref. 14/01361/FUL. The principle of the proposed development therefore remains

acceptable.

7.3 Land Use

7.3.1 There is no objection to providing additional private school places at the site, noting LLP

policy S3 is concerned with state-funded school places. However, the main impacts from this

proposed intensification are explained below.

7.4 Transport

Background and Context

7.4.1 LLP policy T1 states that the council will promote a sustainable pattern of development in the

borough, minimising the need to travel and reducing dependence on the private car. Policy

T6 of the LLP states that planning applications will be supported where they do not have

unacceptable transport impacts, including cumulative impacts on highways safety, traffic

flows, congestion of the road network, on-street parking, footway space desire lines and

pedestrian flows, and all other transport modes, including public transport and cycling.

7.4.2 The imposition of condition 33 – which is subject to this change under this application –

related only to transport considerations, but other matters are considered in this application

as set out in the report. The information provided with the original application satisfied the

Local Planning Authority (LPA) that the pupil roll at the time of the application of circa 505,

did not impact unacceptably on the operation of the local highway network. The impact of a

greater number of pupils at the school on the operation of the local highway network had not

been modelled at the time of the original application. The LPA applied condition 33 to

reserve its position in-case the pupil roll was to ever increase beyond 505. It is now proposed

to increase the pupil roll to 650 and to amend condition 33 accordingly. The applicant has

provided a Transport Statement to set out what the transport implications would be of an

increased pupil roll of 650.

7.4.3 The public consultation has raised several concerns with regard to the impact and increase

in vehicular traffic, parking pressures and highways safety that could result from the

proposed increase in pupil numbers at the school. The applicant sought pre-application

advice with the LPA in respect of these proposals. In this pre-application request, the

Lambeth Transport Officer reviewed the draft Transport Statement and provided feedback on

areas which needed expanding in order to address the LPA’s concerns. The Transport

Statement submitted with this application expanded on the draft submission and responded

to queries raised from the pre-application advice. Furthermore, Lambeth’s Transport Officer

provided a separate review of the impact on the highway using survey data provided by the

applicant. The below will expand on the issues which have been raised.

7.4.4 The site has a PTAL rating of 2, which is considered ‘poor’, meaning staff and students are

likely to be more reliant on the private car to reach the site than a site in an area with good

access to public transport. Within TfL’s accepted walking distance of the site is the bus stop

on Garrad’s Road for the 315 bus, which runs every 20 minutes, and National Rail services

from Streatham Hill station, although this is located almost 1km away. The school operate six

minibus routes to collect / drop-off pupils.

7.4.5 Pedestrian and cycle connectivity is generally good, with a zebra crossing to cross Bedford

Hill at the junction with Abbotswood Road, and London Cycle Network (LCN) 5 and the

proposed Quietway 5 cycle routes providing quiet and safe cycle conditions close to the site.

Cycle Parking

7.4.6 The school currently has 104 cycle parking spaces, and 4 folding cycle lockers, distributed

around the site. The majority of these are by way of Sheffield stands. Lockers are also

provided. This level of cycle parking already meets the draft London Plan cycle parking

of 36

standards for the proposed number of pupils and staff. The application is therefore

acceptable in respect of cycle parking.

Access, Construction and Servicing

7.4.7 The application does not propose any new construction or changes to existing access or on-

site car parking arrangements, or servicing arrangements, with only one additional servicing

trip anticipated to result from the proposed development. No further details are required in

these respects, noting the servicing arrangements were set out in the original application,

and these are considered acceptable in respect of LLP policy T8.

Travel Plan

7.4.8 The school operate a Travel Plan, which was permitted under condition 17 (16/05765/DET,

permitted in November 2016) of 14/01361/FUL, which encourages sustainable methods of

transport to and from the school with percentage targets of modal shares for pupils and staff.

This Travel Plan has a five year timeframe. The Travel Plan has an overarching aim to

reduce car travel and encourage more sustainable modes of transport. These are set out as

targets, but they are not a planning requirement to be met. It is important to note that the

targets set out in the Travel Plan are not required to be met to make the impact of the

originally consented cap of 505 pupils acceptable, but it assists in mitigating the impact of

vehicular trips associated with the pupil roll. As noted above, its primary purpose is to

encourage more sustainable methods of travel to and from the school.

7.4.9 Travel Plan surveys are undertaken during the lifetime of the plan, and the modal share

results are dependent on snapshot surveys undertaken within the school, usually by way of

‘hands up’ surveys in classrooms. They are therefore very susceptible to changes in weather

conditions which can discourage / encourage certain modes of travel. Furthermore, the staff

modal share results are subject to larger variations given the much smaller sample size.

7.4.10 If the targets are not met, the onus is on the school to increase its efforts to reduce car travel,

however the Travel Plan targets give modal share objectives rather than legally binding caps.

7.4.11 The LPA recognise that the high aspirations of the Travel Plan in respect of active travel are

not currently being met. Officers have therefore requested that the school appoints a ‘Bike-It

Officer’ for a period of two years, to help the school deliver on their targets to increase

sustainable methods of travel. The ‘Bike It Officer’ is a person independent from the school,

who would attend the site once a fortnight to encourage active and sustainable travel i.e.

walking and cycling. The school have agreed to this provision and it is secured by condition.

Traffic Impact from Proposed Development

7.4.12 It is currently is understood that pupils arrive at the school between 07:15hrs and 08:45hrs.

The school currently has six minibuses with an increase of one since the 2018 academic

year. The mini buses hold 15 pupils and depart and then arrive back at the site between

07:45hrs and 08:30hrs. The applicant has provided further information on the pupil numbers

using the mini buses and concluded that the split is 50/50 between the junior and senior

school. The applicant commented further that it is desirable for the senior school pupils to

travel by foot or public transport rather than mini bus.

of 36

7.4.13 Prior to the arrival of pupils, staff place A-board signs on the public highway to discourage

poor parking behaviour. Staff (minimum of 2 no.) are stationed outside the school between

07:45hrs and 08:45hrs to direct drivers, enforce the parking restrictions and encourage good

driving behaviour. When pupils begin arriving at the school, they are able to access the

school through the southern gate (the vehicular access located opposite the junction with

Hoadly Road), as at this time, this access is not used by the minibuses. However, this gate is

closed from 07:45hrs in preparation for the departure of minibuses. From this time onwards,

only the minibuses are permitted to use this access, and the gate is opened and closed by a

member of staff as a minibus departs or arrives. Once this gate is closed to pedestrians,

access to the school is gained for pupils via the northern gate (adjacent to the playing fields),

or through the reception entrance for sixth formers.

7.4.14 It is also understood that the school day finishes at 15:50hrs. Minibuses depart together at

16:10hrs. Traffic marshals are used between 15:45hrs and 16:45hrs.

7.4.15 The school requires parents to agree to the terms of its Code of Conduct when enrolling their

child at the school. This requires parents to be considerate when dropping off and collecting

pupils at the school. In particular, this requests that vehicles arrive from either Bedford Hill or

Hoadly Road and once they have dropped off or collected the pupil(s), they continue

northwards along Abbotswood Road. The Code of Conduct also requests for drop-off and

collection to occur on Abbotswood Road, adjacent to the playing fields, that the school’s

access, zigzag lines and residents’ driveways are not blocked, and that engines are switched

off when a vehicle is stationary and is not in traffic.

7.4.16 The council’s transport and planning officers have attended the site on two occasions during

the morning drop-off times to assess how this operates currently. These times are

considered to be the busiest as they coincide with the morning rush-hour. The LPA consider

that the trips to the site at these times are managed well and no significant issues were

witnessed in respect of how the highways were operating at these times.

7.4.17 The Transport Statement (TS) provided by the applicant has assessed the potential impact

from the proposed development, and this included a parking stress survey from March 2019.

Lambeth also commissioned its own independent car parking surveys in December 2016 as

part of the CPZ consultation. This survey covered the area surrounding the site and the

existing levels of parking stress for both surveys were consistent with one another. The

existing parking stress at the peak times of drop-off and pick-up are low in both surveys.

7.4.18 Using data provided from the applicant’s assessment and Travel Plan monitoring data,

officers have assessed the impacts of the proposed increase in pupil numbers under four

scenarios: the legally permitted 505 pupils, the existing 560 pupils at the time of the surveys,

the predicted September 2019 roll of 570 pupils, and the proposed maximum pupil roll of

650.

7.4.19 The below table details the likely ‘worst case’ scenarios of additional car trips to and from the

site for the proposed 650 pupil cap. This assessment has been undertaken against the

current baseline data (this is 560 pupils, which was the approximate number of pupils

attending the site at the times of the surveys). The LPA have also considered the impact of a

650 pupil cap against 505 pupils, which is what condition 33 currently requires, noting that

of 36

the parking stress surveys were undertaken at a time when approximately 560 pupils were

attending the school. A final assessment officers have carried out is the impact of the

number of pupils enrolled at September 2019, which at the time of the assessment was

anticipated to be 570 pupils. The LPA have carried out the assessment using the parking

survey data and the modal split data (provided from Travel Plan monitoring data). The

applicant has advised that they do not operate at 100 per cent capacity every day due to

pupil absences. The average pupil attendance is at 89 per cent, and therefore, these are the

figures used in the below assessment.

7.4.20 The above table demonstrates a maximum increase of 15 private vehicles (including two

Park and Stride) associated with pupil drop-off and pick-up, comparing the existing, albeit

unlawful situation of 560 pupils, with the proposed 650 pupils. The change between the

existing situation and the projected pupil roll in September 2019 would be negligible (one

additional private vehicle). The permitted school roll of 505 pupils is given as a comparison,

which demonstrates that the school currently generates an additional 9-10 private vehicles

associated with pupil drop-off and pick-up, over and above the permitted level.

7.4.21 The assessment also includes an additional five private vehicles associated with staff trips

when applying the same assessment. Lambeth’s own 2016 parking surveys include a

comparison of weekday and weekend parking conditions, which demonstrates that 3 per

cent of vehicles parked on Abbotswood Road all day on the weekday, and 2 per cent did so

at the weekend, suggesting a low number of staff vehicles during the week.

7.4.22 Lambeth’s Transport Officer concluded that the combined vehicular trip generating impact of

the additional pupils and staff associated with the proposals is therefore 20 additional private

vehicles against the existing situation, or 29 when compared with the consented pupil roll

cap of 505. These findings were then applied to the parking stress of the two roads

surrounding the site, to ascertain whether there would likely be sufficient capacity within the

surrounding highway network for the likely increase in vehicular traffic that would result from

the development.

of 36

7.4.23 The TS includes the results of a parking survey conducted in March 2019. The tables below

indicate that there is sufficient capacity on Abbotswood Road and Hoadly Road around

school drop-off and pick-up times to accommodate further on-street parking for drop-off and

collection of pupils. During the six beat surveys set out in the table below, there are always at

least 46 spare parking locations on Abbotswood Road and a further 19 on Hoadly Road;

more than enough to accommodate the maximum of 20 additional private vehicles

associated with the proposals. Assuming these additional 20 private vehicles were to only

park on Abbotswood and Hoadly Roads at the busiest times, parking stress would

temporarily increase to 75 per cent across the two roads at 09:00hrs, and 72 per cent at

15:30hrs. The submitted car parking surveys and analysis demonstrates there is enough

capacity on local streets to accommodate these arrivals. This is also the case were the

assessment to be shown on the basis of 100 per cent attendance, and in such scenario,

there would be an additional 23 vehicles compared with the existing situation (compared with

20 vehicles as per the above assessment) that was surveyed, or 34 when compared with the

consented pupil roll of 505 (compared with 29 vehicles as per the above assessment).

7.4.24 The TS provided by the applicant concluded that the increase to 650 pupils is projected to

produce 19 additional pupil associated private vehicle trips during drop-off and pick-up times

when compared to the existing pupil roll of 560 (or 17 additional vehicular trips when

considered against the typical 89 per cent attendance levels). This included 13 additional

of 36

vehicles due from the pupils, a 5 vehicle increase from the staff and an additional delivery

vehicle. Over a 15 minute drop-off or pick-up period, this increase represents less than one

additional vehicle on the local highways per minute. The proposed increase is similar to

predictions made by officers.

7.4.25 The site in not currently within a CPZ but consultation is to be conducted during 2019-20

which covers the site and surrounding roads. If the St. Leonard’s CPZ were to go ahead

school staff who currently park on surrounding roads would have to park further from the site,

and / or use alternative modes of travel. Any background levels of commuter parking would

also be reduced, but this is not thought to be a particular issue on the roads nearest the site,

given their distance from the nearest train station.

7.4.26 The cumulative impacts of other schools in the vicinity has been considered in the TS and

addressed by the Lambeth Transport Officer. It is noted that there is a current planning

application being considered by the council for Broomwood School (ref 19/02496/FUL). The

proposals would change the school from a primary to a secondary school, but it’s understood

that there would be no increase in pupil numbers. The change would likely result in a larger

proportion of pupils using active travel or public transport to reach the school, as older

children are less likely to be driven to and from school.

7.4.27 The cumulative impacts of other activities at the site are mentioned in several local residents’

objections, e.g. the recently permitted extended use of the sports pitch, and the use of the

Woodfield Pavilion. However, the peak times for traffic generation associated with the school

use (i.e. the beginning and end of the school day), would not coincide with these other

activities.

7.4.28 The improvement works have recently been undertaken at the junction of Woodfield Road /

Bedford Hill / Garrad’s Road. These changes have narrowed the carriageway and removed

at most one parking space from Woodfield Avenue. The changes are not expected to have a

significant effect on the movement of traffic or parking stress.

7.4.29 In conclusion, in respect of the relevant transport related policies, the proposed increase in

pupil numbers at the school would not have a significant or unacceptable impact on the

operation of the local transport network, or that of highway safety. Further mitigation is not

required, but a condition is attached to require the school to appoint a ‘Bike-It Officer’. The

‘Bike-It Officer’ would encourage more sustainable methods of travel to and from the site,

and assist the school with delivering on their ambitious Travel Plan targets for active travel

and less car travel. The application is therefore considered acceptable in respect of its

impact on transport and highways, subject to this condition.

7.5 Air Quality

7.5.1 An Air Quality Assessment (AQA) has been provided to determine the impact of the

proposed increase in pupil numbers on air quality in the area, namely from the increase in

vehicular trips that would result from the increase in pupil numbers. The AQA has been

reviewed by the Air Quality Officer, who raised no objections to the proposals with respect to

its potential air quality impact. The AQA demonstrates that the trip increase associated with

the proposed increase in pupil capacity would have a minimal impact on the local highway

of 36

network or the current pollution levels. Traffic modelling has been undertaken to quantify the

traffic impacts as a result of the trip increase. The modelling shows NO2, PM10 and PM2.5

levels are likely to have a zero per cent increase relative to the annual mean objective, as a

result of the increase to the pupil roll of a maximum of 650. The impacts are therefore

considered to be of an ‘imperceptible magnitude and negligible significance’.

7.5.2 Background concentrations of PM and NOx are provided in the AQA confirm that pollutant

levels are within EU legal limits, unlike at many schools in the north of the Borough. The

application is therefore acceptable in respect of its impact on air quality.

7.6 Amenity

7.6.1 The principal amenity impact from the proposed development would be the noise generated

from the increased number of pupils attending the site. A Noise Assessment (NA) has been

provided to quantify this impact. LLP policy Q2 is relevant here, as this requires development

to not have an adverse noise impact. The Environmental Health Officer has reviewed the

NA, who raised no objections to the proposals with respect to its potential noise impact.

7.6.2 The Environmental Health Officer disagreed with the assertions of the NA that the pupil

increase will result in “negligible” impact to the existing noise level, and considered that the

proposed increase in pupil numbers would likely have a noticeable noise impact, but not

sufficient to increase levels to the point of causing an adverse noise impact on the

surrounding residential properties. The application is therefore acceptable in respect of its

impact on neighbouring amenity.

7.7 Impact on the Conservation Area

7.8 The school is located immediately to the north of the Streatham Park and Garrad’s Road

Conservation Area. This is characterised by its sedate and leafy suburban qualities and is

centred on the attractive semi-wooded Tooting Bec Common. Given the there is no proposed

building works, the proposal would not result in any harm on the character or appearance of

the conservation area. For this reason its setting would also not be harmed. The application

is therefore acceptable in this respect.

8. Conclusion

8.1 Upon full assessment of the submitted material supporting the application, taking into

account all material considerations, it is considered the objectives of the development plan

have been met.

8.2 A number of the conditions from the original consent have been updated to reflect

permissions granted to discharge them and the updated development plan policies.

Condition no. 1 has been removed and replaced with a new condition requiring a ‘Bike-It

Officer’ to be appointed.

9. Equality Duty and Human Rights

9.1 In line with the Public Sector Equality Duty the council must have due regard to the need to

eliminate discrimination and advance equality of opportunity, as set out in section 149 of the

Equality Act 2010. In making this recommendation, regard has been given to the Public

of 36

Sector Equality Duty and the relevant protected characteristics (age, disability, gender

reassignment, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation).

9.2 In line with the Human Rights Act 1998, it is unlawful for a public authority to act in a way

which is incompatible with a Convention right, as per the European Convention on Human

Rights. The human rights impact have been considered, with particular reference to Article 1

of the First Protocol (Protection of property), Article 8 (Right to respect for private and family

life) and Article 14 (Prohibition of discrimination) of the Convention.

9.3 The Human Rights Act 1998 does not impair the right of the state to make decisions and

enforce laws as deemed necessary in the public interest. The recommendation is considered

appropriate in upholding the council's adopted and emerging policies and is not outweighed

by any engaged rights.
