5.4 The application has been drawn to members' attention on the weekly pending decision list dated 21st – 28th August 2020 (Week 34) as a Council Own Major Scheme. There was no request to call this in to Bedfont, Feltham and Hanworth Area Forum.

5.5 The scheme went to Design Review Panel in July 2019 at which point the scheme was in the early stages of design, the main comments related to the brief for the site and the site layout. This later design has therefore been informed by the feedback from Design Review Panel, in particular in relation to the layout, landscaping and mix of typologies included.

External Consultees

5.6 Thames Water – With regard to the Foul Water sewerage network infrastructure capacity, we would not have any objection to the above planning application, based on the information provided.

With regard to Surface Water network infrastructure capacity, we would not have any objection to the above planning application, based on the information provided.

5.7 Affinity Water Company – No response received at time of writing.

5.8 Transport for London (TfL) – TfL initially objected to the level of parking proposed, stating it is not compliant with the ITPLP (Intend To Publish London Plan) Policy T6.1 which states that the maximum car parking provision for developments in PTAL 4 Outer London locations is up to 0.5 spaces per unit, which for this development would equate to 51 spaces and that car parking should therefore be reduced to a policy-compliant level.

5.9 Following discussion with the Council’s Transport team and a review of the proposal a revised response was received which sates “TfL have no objections so long as car parking over time is reduced and written into planning consent. We would recommend a Parking Design and Management Plan is secured by condition, and new residents should be exempt from applying for an on-street or residential parking permit for the existing spaces”.

5.10 Through their responses TfL requested conditions are attached to any consent, these are recommended accordingly (4, 5, 6, 7, 8).

6.0 POLICY

Determining applications for full or outline planning permission

6.1 The determination must be made in accordance with the development plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. Local finance considerations must also be assessed.

The National Planning Policy Framework

6.2 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) was revised on 19 February 2019. The April 2014 National Planning Practice Guidance (NPPG) is an online guidance resource that supports the NPPF. Where pertinent, the NPPF and NPPG are material considerations that will be taken into account in decision-making.

The Development Plan

6.3 The Development Plan for the Borough comprises the Council's Local Plan (adopted by the Council on 15 September 2015), the West London Waste Plan and the London Plan Consolidated with Alterations since 2011.

6.4 The draft New London Plan has been through Examination in Public, but has not yet been adopted. Thus, although it is a material

Page 13: PLANNING COMMITTEE 01 October 2020... · ranging between three and nine storeys on the existing Frank Towell Court estate. The 102 new homes are 100% affordable and the application

consideration, the weight given to it remains a matter for the decision maker at this stage.

6.5 The Council are currently undertaking two Local Plan Reviews; the West of Borough Local Plan review and the Great West Corridor Local Plan review. Consultation on the ‘Preferred Options Consultation’ document for both these reviews, and amendments to the adopted Local Plan, was undertaken between 23 October 2017 and 10 December 2017. The policies of these draft Plans are capable of being a material consideration in planning decisions. The Local Plan Reviews have now been through the formal Regulation 19 Public Consultation, which ran from 30 July to 24 September 2019. The policies will gain more weight as it moves through the examination process to adoption; however the weight given to them is a matter for the decision maker.

7.0 PLANNING ISSUES

7.1 The planning issues to consider are:

Acceptability in principle

Affordable housing

Sustainability

Design and Appearance

Suitability of Accommodation

Impact on adjoining occupiers

Highways Issues

Environmental Considerations

Trees

Planning Obligations Acceptability in principle

7.2 The site is not allocated within the adopted Local Development Plan. However the site is identified as a site allocation for residential development within the West of the Borough Local Plan Review (site allocation 56); the site allocation indicates a minimum development quantum of 70 homes.

7.3 Policy SC1 of the Local Plan seeks to maximise the supply of additional housing in the Borough in order to meet housing need, as supported by policy 3.3 of the London Plan. This proposal would contribute to the supply of housing within the Borough and would represent an increase of the homes currently on the site.

7.4 Consequently, a residential scheme, in the context of policies seeking addition dwellings within sustainable locations such as this is considered to be acceptable in principle subject to consideration of the other planning issues.

Housing Mix and Affordable Housing

7.5 The NPPF and the London Plan encourage new residential developments to provide a choice of housing with a mix of family and non-family housing needed to meet different community requirements.

7.6 The London Plan emphasises that affordable housing is a priority. London Plan Policy 3.8 says there should be a choice of homes that

Page 16: PLANNING COMMITTEE 01 October 2020... · ranging between three and nine storeys on the existing Frank Towell Court estate. The 102 new homes are 100% affordable and the application

people can afford and policy 3.9 seeks mixed and balanced communities in terms of tenure and household income to aid social inclusion and avoid segregation of populations by housing tenure.

7.7 London Plan policies 3.11 and 3.12 seek to ensure the maximum reasonable amount of affordable housing is provided having regard to affordable housing targets, the need to encourage rather than restrain residential development and the individual circumstances of the site. Policy 3.12(C) says affordable housing should normally be provided on site with off-site provision only acceptable in exceptional cases where it is robustly demonstrated on-site provision is inappropriate. Policy 3.13 of the London Plan requires developments of 10 or more dwellings to include affordable housing.

7.8 The policies within the Intend to Publish Draft London Plan also emphasise the need to provide genuinely affordable homes as well as a range of home size (policies H4, H6 and H10). Policy H8 relates to the loss of existing housing and estate redevelopment and requires any loss to be replaced by new housing at existing or higher densities with at least the equivalent level of overall. The proposal would increase the number of homes on the site and would be 100% affordable with no demolition of existing homes; therefore there is no conflict between the proposal and these policies.

7.9 Hounslow Local Plan Policy SC2 sets a strategic target that 40% of additional housing delivered across the borough between 2015 and 2030 be affordable. Schemes are expected to deliver a mix of 60% affordable/social rented and 40% intermediate tenures with an appropriate mix of housing size and tenure in accordance with housing need.

7.10 The application proposes to provide 100% affordable housing at London Affordable Rent (LAR). The rent levels would be in line with the benchmarks set by the London Plan for London Affordable rents. For a one bedroom home this rent would be £159.32 per week, £168.67 per week for a two bedroom home and £178.05 per week for a three bedroom flat for the period 2020/21.

7.11 The proposed quantum of affordable housing exceeds the strategic target of 40% and ensures affordable housing is maximised on the site; the proposal would result in an uplift of 102 affordable homes over the existing number of homes on site. The scheme will therefore result in a positive contribution to the Borough’s affordable housing targets and is supported.

7.12 Local Plan Policy SC3 sets out the Council’s general housing need mix requirement and sets out that developments are expected to provide a mix of new housing to meet this need.

7.13 The proposal comprises a mix of one, two and three bedroom flats and houses. The Local Plan considers two bedroom (four person) flats and above to be family-sized units.

Page 17: PLANNING COMMITTEE 01 October 2020... · ranging between three and nine storeys on the existing Frank Towell Court estate. The 102 new homes are 100% affordable and the application

7.14 The proposed mix of twenty six one-bedroom, one two bedroom three person, fifty three two bedroom four person, eight three bedroom four person and fourteen three bedroom five person homes is considered acceptable and would provide a mix of home size to meet the Council’s identified need.

Sustainability

7.15 London Plan Policy 5.2 (Minimising Carbon Dioxide Emissions) applies to all developments and states that development should make the fullest contribution to minimising carbon dioxide emissions in accordance with the following energy hierarchy:

Be lean: use less energy

Be clean: supply energy efficiently

Be green: use renewable energy

7.16 As a major residential development we would expect the development to show a minimum 35% reduction in emissions on Building Regulations Part L compliant baseline (2013), where possible to achieve a carbon neutral standard, internal water use of 105L/Person/Day or less and sustainable material standards. The application was accompanied by an Energy Assessment.

7.17 The submitted documents show an onsite reduction in emissions of 83% below baseline.

7.18 The application proposes photovoltaic panels on blocks A, B and C, blocks D, E and F are not considered suitable for PV panels due to roof form or location. The proposed photovoltaic panels would have a PV rating of 113kWp and the performance is highly efficient with a panel power of 370W.

7.19 Demand reduction measures to be incorporated within the scheme include insulated building fabric with low air permeability, glazing with suitable U-value, g-value and daylight transmittance, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery and low energy lighting. The applicant proposes a 100% electric solution; Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs) would provide heating and hot water.

7.20 Conditions have been included to ensure that the development is carried out to deliver the 83% reductions as well as water efficiency and sustainable sourcing of materials (11, 12 and 13).

7.21 It is considered that the approach taken has maximised on site emission reductions and is considered highly sustainable; this is considered acceptable and fully supported. In order to achieve compliance with the ‘zero carbon’ homes standard, the applicant is required to make a financial contribution to the Council’s Carbon Offset

Page 18: PLANNING COMMITTEE 01 October 2020... · ranging between three and nine storeys on the existing Frank Towell Court estate. The 102 new homes are 100% affordable and the application

Fund, this will be secured through the legal agreement (Unilateral Undertaking).

Design and Appearance 7.22 Policy 7.1 of the London Plan requires the design of new buildings and

the spaces around them to reinforce or enhance the character of the neighbourhood. Policy 7.4 requires the design of the building to respond appropriately to the local character. Policy 7.5 requires the provision of a high quality public realm. Policy 7.6 requires high quality architecture and materials.

7.23 The above is echoed in policies D4 and D5 of the Intend to Publish Draft London Plan.

7.24 Policy CC1 of the Hounslow Local Plan seeks to ensure that all new development preserves conserves and enhances their special qualities and heritage. Policy CC2 of the Hounslow Local Plan seeks to retain, promote and support high quality urban design and architecture to create attractive, distinctive, and liveable places. Policy CC3 deals with tall buildings and seeks to preserve the predominantly two to three storey character of the borough, with limited scope for four to six storeys along main streets and where the opportunity exists for higher density development.

7.25 The emerging site allocation included within the West of the Borough Local Plan Review requires the height of new development to be in conformity with the West of Borough Feltham Place Policy, and should optimise density and promote an urban character with good street enclosure including improvements in the quality and access to on site and adjoining amenity spaces. The development should ensure it steps up from the existing height to form a sensitive and legible change in character, and ensures it does not overshadow or overlook existing properties.

7.26 The general character of the area around the application site is residential, although there are some community and commercial uses on Bedfont Lane. Within the site the existing buildings range between four and eleven storeys in height, there is a part three, four and five storey block to the east and the houses along Bedfont Lane are predominantly two storey. A number of taller buildings exist to the east of the site within the Feltham Town Centre boundary, including the ten storey Fairview scheme on the corner of Bedfont Lane and new Road. The proposed scheme would be seen in context with the existing buildings on the site and the schemes currently being built on nearby sites.

7.27 In proposing buildings between four and nine storeys, the application needs to comply with policy CC3 of the Local Plan, which deals with tall buildings. The proposed three and four storey buildings proposed (Blocks C, D, E and F) are comparable to the neighbouring buildings in their location; Blocks E and F sit alongside the existing four storey

Page 19: PLANNING COMMITTEE 01 October 2020... · ranging between three and nine storeys on the existing Frank Towell Court estate. The 102 new homes are 100% affordable and the application

blocks on the estate, and Blocks C and D will be seen in the context of the existing four and eleven storey blocks on site as well as the three storey New River House. This is considered to be a location where the opportunity exists for higher density development and taller buildings. This is on the basis of the good public transport accessibility afforded to the site and its proximity to a park and the town centre. The Council’s housing targets and ambitions to secure additional affordable housing mean that an increase in height is the direction of travel and this is supported provided it is well designed and responds sensitively to its context.

7.28 The scheme proposes two building with elements at eight and nine storeys which flank the existing eleven storey block on site; the buildings also have lower elements; part four and part five storeys on Block A and four storeys on Block B. Within the current application these buildings have been revised to sculpt the mass and the blocks step up from the neighbouring buildings, have the tallest element in the centre and step down one storey towards the existing tower. The stepping of the buildings reduces their bulk and ensures it appears proportionate and subordinate to the existing eleven storey block, which would remain the tallest building on the estate.

7.29 Blocks A and B have been sited along the northern edge of the site, adjacent to the park, in the case of Building B this is located adjacent to the new proposed link to the park; this approach is considered appropriate as it helps promote the legibility of the new park access. The blocks step down to the east and west and Blocks C, D, E and F, which are located closer to neighbouring sites with lower buildings are of a much lower scale being between three and four storeys in height. It is considered that the heights have been located appropriately within the site and the proposed buildings would not be overly tall given the generous site area and that it is set back from Bedfont Lane, adjacent to the park and in the context of some existing tall buildings; thus it is considered that the proposal would not be read as unduly imposing.

7.30 In addition the buildings within the blocks differ architecturally to respond to the differing characters across the site, including variance in the roof forms between the blocks. There is also variation within blocks in terms of materiality and colour.

7.31 The two taller buildings, Blocks A and B, have a clearly defined top, middle and bottom which helps ground and break down the massing and bulk. On both blocks the four storey element has a clear horizontal focus, distinguishing it from the eight and nine storey elements which have a more vertical emphasis; in the case of Block A this is continued in the five storey element. The banding above the first floor clearly defines the base of the building as the bottom two floors, and the architecture has been carefully considered to show these comprise maisonettes. The banding and detail at the ninth floor also clearly define the top of the building. In addition the tallest nine storey element

is to be treated differently to the remainder of the building in terms of materiality; this also helps to break up the bulk of the building.

7.32 Block C has also been designed to emphasise the maisonettes across ground and first floor and the flats at second and third floor. The asymmetric roof pitch which encompasses the second floor on Block D helps to break up the massing. On blocks E and F the use of bay window and brick detailing, as well as the change in colour are used.

7.33 Therefore it is considered that the mass and bulk of these buildings has been sufficiently broken down to respond to the surrounding development. The proposal would be highly visible within its surroundings, however the areas allocation as part of the Feltham Housing Zone and the emerging West of the Borough Plan, point toward the scale of development proposed as being the direction of travel for development in the area. On this basis the scale of the buildings is considered to be appropriate.

7.34 The use of bricks as the primary material for the blocks is consistent with the wider area and the feature brickwork helps to add interest and break down the massing of the proposed blocks. The pallet of materials would be similar to those used on the existing estate and in the surrounding area. The details of the brick and the detailed design features such as the brick, window reveals, bay windows and balconies, particularly the laser cut panels, will be secured by condition (2) to ensure a high quality finish and that the intended design rationale is realised in the final development.

7.35 The blocks have been designed to incorporate private front doors to serve the ground floor homes and to ensure the communal entrances are clearly legible from the communal areas of the site. The inclusion of these separate private entrances aids the legibility of the scheme and increases opportunities to meet neighbours. The design and orientation of the buildings has been carefully designed to ensure the facades fronting the public realm, contain entrances and windows to ensure that the communal open space and play areas, as well as the new park access benefits from natural surveillance. The orientation of Blocks A, B and C has also ensures the an active frontage is presented to the park, which is considered appropriate in terms of both providing good outlook, preserving privacy and providing natural surveillance for the park itself. The scheme is considered not to be of a scale or level of dominance that would appear overly dominant or detract from the parkland itself.

7.36 The proposed scheme retains significant open space within estate and facilitates a better access to the park, in addition Blocks E and F from the entrance to the estate and interact better with Bedfont Lane. It is therefore considered that the scheme interacts appropriately with the street and the surrounding pattern of development.

7.37 The proposed landscaping will ensure that the site has an open and green aspect. Whilst existing trees will be removed to facilitate the

Page 21: PLANNING COMMITTEE 01 October 2020... · ranging between three and nine storeys on the existing Frank Towell Court estate. The 102 new homes are 100% affordable and the application

development, these have been limited to those necessary and substantial additional planting is proposed. The final and full details of the landscaping, soft and hard will also be key to ensure that a high quality finish is achieved, and to realise the landscaped scheme design. This is secured by condition (14).

7.38 The plans show that the car parking would be located within the central courtyard. The applicant has provided indicative and illustrative landscaping plans which show how the access and parking areas will be delineated from the pedestrian and cycle paths and soft landscaping is also to be provided within this central courtyard area. The hierarchy of hardstanding and the layout of the planting help direct visitors to the main entrances and thus aids the legibility of the development. In general the layout of the scheme and the landscape principles are considered acceptable however it is considered necessary to retain the final details by condition (14) in order to ensure a high quality finish.

7.39 The plans show a new access to be provided along the northern edge of the site to the park at the rear. Whilst the detailed design of this access has not been provided, the plans submitted provide sufficient detail to demonstrate that the access is a minimum of 3m wide to allow pedestrian and cycle access to the park. The distinction between the public access route and the private amenity space associated with the development is clear whilst enabling natural surveillance of the access. Overall it is considered that the approach is acceptable and the detailed design of the public access route to the park can be secured as part of the landscaping condition (14) to ensure it is an attractive landscaped route.

7.40 As such the design of the schemes is considered to be acceptable.

Suitability of Accommodation

Internal space provision

7.41 Local Plan Policy SC5 requires the internal space of new homes to comply with the Nationally Described Space Standards (NDSS). The NDSS provide minimum internal floor areas for all new residential units and are mimicked in policy 3.5 of the London Plan.

7.42 All of the proposed homes would meet or exceed the minimum space standards with the one bedroom two person homes measuring between 51-75sq.m, the two bedroom three person measuring 73 sq.m, the two bedroom four person homes measuring between 70- 87 sq.m, the three bedroom four person homes measuring 87-107 sq.m and the three bedroom five person homes measuring between 96-120 sq.m.

7.43 Policy 3.5 of the London Plan also states that new homes should have adequately sized rooms and convenient and efficient room layouts which are functional and fit for purpose, meeting the changing needs of Londoners. All of the homes are well laid out with sufficient layout of

Page 22: PLANNING COMMITTEE 01 October 2020... · ranging between three and nine storeys on the existing Frank Towell Court estate. The 102 new homes are 100% affordable and the application

rooms ensuring bedrooms are located together and where possible away from living space; each home is afforded with storage space and private amenity areas.

7.44 All homes in block C are dual aspect, all homes in blocks D, E and F are triple aspect. Overall 76% of the proposed homes are dual aspect. Blocks A and B include maisonettes over ground and first floor and therefore whilst single aspect the homes would have a suitable outlook with windows on two floors and serving all habitable rooms. The number of single aspect homes has been minimised and none of the single aspect homes are directly north facing.

7.45 Policy 7.2 of the London Plan requires development proposals to be designed with the specific needs of disabled people integrated into the development.

7.46 The proposed development would provide eleven wheelchair accessible homes in accordance with building regulations Part M4(3) with the remaining homes all meeting building regulations part M4(2) meaning they are wheelchair adaptable units. There would be two, one bedroom two person wheelchair accessible home, six two bedroom four person wheelchair accessible homes and three bedroom five person wheelchair accessible homes. All would be provided at affordable rent.

Private amenity space

7.47 Local Plan policy SC5 and the Mayor’s Housing SPG state that each home of up to two people should be provided with at least 5sq.m of private amenity space and 1sq.m for each additional occupant. For houses, the usable amenity space should be provided to no less than the following standards: 50sqm per 3 habitable room house; 60sqm per 4 habitable room house; and 75 sqm per 5 habitable rooms and over.

7.48 Each home would be afforded private amenity space with direct access in the form of balconies/terraces at upper floors and gardens at ground floor. The proposed arrangement is considered acceptable. All the flats would meet the required private amenity space provision.

7.49 The townhouses in blocks E and F meet the 75 sqm private amenity space requirement through a front garden and private garden located to the side of the property. The majority of the amenity space is provided by the private side garden which is considered to be of a suitable shape, aspect and siting.

7.50 The three bedroom mews houses in block D would fall short of the private amenity space requirements (75sqm) however they would be provided with a private garden at ground floor and a terrace at second floor providing between approximately 40 - 48 sqm private amenity space each. The two bedroom mews house would have gardens and a terrace providing 29 sqm of private amenity space. It is acknowledged that these homes do not meet the standards; however they are located

Page 23: PLANNING COMMITTEE 01 October 2020... · ranging between three and nine storeys on the existing Frank Towell Court estate. The 102 new homes are 100% affordable and the application

close to the Town Centre and within an estate which provides communal spaces and children’s play area, in addition the houses have been designed to provide generous internal spaces which exceed the standards. All the homes would have access to the onsite communal amenity space, as well as having easy access to the playing fields which adjoin the wider estate, facilitated by the park entrance provided by this development. Therefore it is considered that in this instance the shortfall in private amenity space for these houses can be accepted.

7.51 The plans indicate how the amenity space for the flats at ground floor could be delineated from the general landscaping and ensure privacy for the occupants. In addition the design of the balconies has been refined to provide sufficient privacy for the residents of the development. The final details would be secured through the materials and landscaping scheme (conditions 2 and 14).

7.52 There is no private amenity space provided for any of the existing properties in Frank Towell Court as existing. However the rear communal courtyards serving the existing four storey blocks would be retained and improved as part of the proposal.

Communal amenity space

7.53 Communal amenity space should also be provided in line with Policy SC5 of the Local Plan which states that for each unit of up to 3 habitable rooms 25sq.m should be provided, 30 sq.m per flat with four habitable rooms and 40 sq.m per flat with five habitable rooms, less a reduction for the area of private space provided for each flat.

7.54 In this case the shortfall of private space for the houses has been added to the communal requirement given the location within the wider estate.

7.55 The table below provides details of the amenity space proposed, against the policy requirement for the proposed homes:

Page 24: PLANNING COMMITTEE 01 October 2020... · ranging between three and nine storeys on the existing Frank Towell Court estate. The 102 new homes are 100% affordable and the application

7.56 The above table has been calculated using only the amenity space which is available to all residents, and excludes public pathways. This exceeds the requirement for the development.

7.57 The residents of the existing blocks on site (two four storey blocks and the tower block) would also have access to the communal amenity space.

7.58 With regard to the existing flats on site, if built today these would require a total of 2,050 sqm communal space. It is noted that the residents in the two four storey blocks currently have access to communal rear courtyards behind the blocks and grassed areas to the front of the buildings surrounded by railings; in total these areas provide 1,473.5 sqm of communal amenity space. These would be retained and improved by the proposal including resurfacing of the rear yards and hedge planting to the front grassed areas. This provision (1,473.5) combined with the overprovision shown in the table (1,228.75) exceed the 2,050 sqm communal space required for existing residents. Therefore it is demonstrated that overall the proposal would ensure that there is sufficient on site communal amenity space to serve all existing and proposed residents.

7.59 Communal amenity space is provided on the ground floor in the form of communal central garden/play area, riverside garden, nature play area and green areas. The quantum of communal space ensures a high quality for existing and future residents and contributes to the scheme design. Part of the site would also be publically accessible from the footpath. The layout of the space is considered to be useable and acceptable.

7.60 It is acknowledged that the proposal is using areas which currently exist within the site however the proposal includes a site wide landscaping scheme and will provide facilities which are not currently present on site, such a play areas. Therefore the communal amenity space within the site would be a significant improvement in terms of quality over the existing site and is welcomed as a benefit of the scheme.

7.61 London Plan policy 3.6 and the Mayor’s SPG on Providing for children and young people’s play and informal recreation states that any development for housing should include play and informal recreation. The proposed development includes the provision of a children’s play space within the centre of the estate.

7.62 The GLA’s play space calculator shows that 944.2 sq. m of play space is required for this scale of development. The proposal includes integrated play space as part of the development, playable space is provided within the central garden and nature play is included within the North West corner by Block B. The required provision can be accommodated, particularly given the significant communal amenity space provided, and the proposal would include the provision of specific play equipment within the site and it is considered that this

Page 25: PLANNING COMMITTEE 01 October 2020... · ranging between three and nine storeys on the existing Frank Towell Court estate. The 102 new homes are 100% affordable and the application

arrangement would provide suitable play and recreation facilities for all residents.

Daylight/sunlight/outlook

7.63 The majority of homes would be either dual or triple aspect and therefore it is considered they would have good levels of daylight/sunlight and outlook. None of the single aspect homes are directly north facing.

7.64 The daylight and sunlight report submitted also shows that all the homes modelled complied with good practice for daylight with regard to average daylight factor and average sky view.

7.65 The results of the sunlight modelling and testing show that there is a 62% pass rate for the recommended annual summer and winter probably sunlight hours in main living rooms. This is a typical score for urban infill developments and considered acceptable given the site constraints.

7.66 In terms of open spaces the east facing courtyards on Block A, the gardens for Blocks E and F and the roof terraces for Block D meet the BRE guidelines in that they receive at least two hours on sunlight on 21 March. However the north facing courtyards in Blocks A, B, C and D do not meet the BRE guidelines this is due to the orientation of the site. Due to the location of the existing tower block and its shadow pattern and the fact that due to site constraints there is no other reasonable location for Blocks A and B it is inevitable that the courtyards serving these blocks would be partly shadowed. For Block D given that the roof terraces meet the BRE guidelines it is considered that this arrangement is acceptable.

7.67 In addition to private terraces and balconies, the residents have access to the communal open space on site; the central courtyard and the mews street between bocks C and D both receive well in excess of the BRE guidelines. Residents also have access to alternative recreation space at Glebelands Playing Fields and Blenheim Park. These are located immediately north of the site and access to this area will be improved as part of the proposals via the new footpath in the North West corner of the site. On balance it is therefore considered that the proposals are acceptable in providing affordable housing in a sustainable location and that across the site there are good levels of daylight and sunlight.

Noise and disturbance

7.68 Policy EQ5 (Noise) of the Local Plan states that the Council will seek to reduce the impact of noise from aviation, transport and noise-generating uses, and require the location and design of new development to have considered the impact of noise, and mitigation of these impacts on new users and surrounding uses according to their sensitivity.

Page 26: PLANNING COMMITTEE 01 October 2020... · ranging between three and nine storeys on the existing Frank Towell Court estate. The 102 new homes are 100% affordable and the application

7.69 The site lies outside of the sensitive Heathrow Noise Contours and therefore there is no objection to additional family housing in this location, provided that the development would include sufficient noise insulation to provide acceptable internal noise environments. The application has been accompanied by a Noise Impact Assessment; this report was based on detailed environmental noise measurements made at the proposed development site. An assessment of the external amenity areas is also included.

7.70 The submitted report provides guidance on external materials and glazing that could be used to achieve suitable internal noise levels. Following submission of additional details and a review of these specifications, they are considered appropriate for the scheme and will achieve suitable internal noise levels.

7.71 The report also outlines that the external amenity areas are likely to be between 52 and 55 dB LAeq,16hours during the daytime period; this is below the Lowest Observed Adverse Effect Level (LOAEL) which is the level above which adverse effects on health and quality of life can be detected and is therefore considered acceptable.

7.72 No assessment of proposed fixed plant has been provided although limits have been set based on plant achieving a rating level of 10 dB below measured background noise levels. At this stage of the development it is unlikely that any confirmed plant details will be available and so it is reasonable to condition this (15).

7.73 Consequently, the scheme is considered acceptable with regard to noise levels.

Fire safety

7.74 Policy 7.13 of the current London Plan and Policy D12 of the Intend to Publish Draft London Plan require development proposals to contribute to the minimisation of potential physical risks, including those arising as a result of fire. D12 goes further and requires all major development proposals should be submitted with a Fire Statement.

7.75 The applicant has submitted an outline Fire safety strategy, which has been prepared to address the requirements of the above policies and submitted by suitably qualified person. The Fire Safety Strategy covers the active fire safety systems, means of warning and escape, passive fire protection systems, external fire spread and access and facilities for the fire and rescue service and is considered acceptable.

Impact on adjoining occupiers Light, Outlook, Visual Intrusion and Privacy

7.76 London Plan policy 7.6 states that buildings and structures should not cause unacceptable harm to the amenity of surrounding land and

Page 27: PLANNING COMMITTEE 01 October 2020... · ranging between three and nine storeys on the existing Frank Towell Court estate. The 102 new homes are 100% affordable and the application

buildings, particularly residential buildings, in relation to privacy, overshadowing, wind and microclimate.

7.77 Policy CC2 of the adopted Local Plan seeks to protect existing residents’ amenity.

Block A

7.78 Block A is sited in the north east corner of the site, the existing tower block comprising no.’s 17-68 Frank Towell Court lies to the west, the eastern existing four storey block comprising 69-84 Frank Towell Court lies to the south west and a part three, part four storey block of 14 flats lies to the east on locomotive Drive and wrapping around to the south outside the application site.

7.79 No concerns arise from impact on land to the north, given that it is parkland.

7.80 Block A would be sited 18m to the east of the existing tower block (no.’s 17-68 Frank Towell Court) at the closest point; due to the siting of Block A and the relationship with the existing tower block it is considered that the proposal would be acceptable in terms of its impact on the living conditions of the existing residents with regard to visual intrusion and outlook; there would be no demonstrable impact which would cause concern.

7.81 The arrangement of the flats within Block A would result in a number of habitable room windows facing the existing tower block from two flats on each floor. However due to the position of block A, which projects to the north of the existing block, it would only be the windows of one flat on each floor which may align with those in the existing tower block and in any case all flats in Block A which have windows facing west are dual aspect with other windows facing north or south away from the neighbouring block. The windows facing west serve bedrooms or are not the only windows serving these rooms. There are no balconies proposed on the west elevation of Block A. As noted above the proposed building would be located 18m from these neighbours, this is in accordance with the 18- 21m guideline separation distance between windows in habitable room windows. As stated above the windows proposed within the development are not the only windows serving the flats, and it is acknowledged that the separation distance is similar to that found in more densely populated areas. The arrangement is therefore considered suitable.

7.82 The daylight and sunlight report tested the flats within the tower block which are likely to be most impacted by the proposed development due to their position within the building. The daylight and sunlight report demonstrates that whilst there may be a small reduction in daylight and sunlight for the existing flats in this block, these are minimal. All windows would exceed the good practice guidelines and the level of change is considered acceptable. In terms of sunlight all would continue to meet the good practice guidelines for both summer and

Page 28: PLANNING COMMITTEE 01 October 2020... · ranging between three and nine storeys on the existing Frank Towell Court estate. The 102 new homes are 100% affordable and the application

winter; therefore there would be no adverse effect on the existing dwellings.

7.83 The neighbouring block on Locomotive Drive to the east is sited 2.1m from the application boundary and is three storey in height at this point, Block A would be sited 2.6m from the boundary so there would be a separation distance of 4.7m between these buildings. At its eastern end Block A would be four storeys in height which is taller than the neighbouring block, however due to its siting and its projection to the north and that there are no habitable room windows which directly face towards Block A it is considered that there would be no harm caused through visual intrusion, loss of outlook or loss of privacy.

7.84 The daylight and sunlight report identifies that all windows in this neighbouring block facing north, east and south comply with the recommended VSC guidelines. However, the west facing windows fail the recommended guidelines due to its close proximity to Block A. An analysis of the floorplans for this block shows that of the three windows, one is located in the communal entrance stairway of the building and therefore does not directly impact the daylight of a specific home. The other two windows are located in the main living room areas, however these spaces have an additional main window on the opposite eastern façade which are not compromised and will receive adequate daylight. Therefore in the circumstances it is considered that a technical fail of the guidelines would not result in a degree of harm to the neighbouring living conditions which would warrant refusal of the application. All existing windows would continue to meet good practice guidelines in respect of sunlight.

7.85 No.’s 69-84 Frank Towell Court are located in the eastern existing four storey block on the estate, this is orientated east –west and there are no windows in the north side elevation which would face Block A. Consequently it is considered that there would be no loss of outlook, overbearing or visual intrusion caused to these neighbours by Block A.

7.86 The daylight and sunlight report demonstrates that whilst there may be a small reduction in daylight and sunlight for the existing flats in the four storey block, these are minimal and all meet the good practice guidelines. Therefore there would be no demonstrable harm caused to the existing residents by loss of light.

7.87 There would be windows and balconies facing south towards the existing four storey block, however these would not align with windows and whilst they would give some views over the rear courtyard this is a communal area and currently overlooked by the existing flats, as such it is not considered that this would cause any harm to the living conditions of existing residents.

Block B

7.88 Block B is sited in the North West corner of the site, the existing tower block comprising no.’s 17-68 Frank Towell Court lies to the east of this

Page 29: PLANNING COMMITTEE 01 October 2020... · ranging between three and nine storeys on the existing Frank Towell Court estate. The 102 new homes are 100% affordable and the application

and the western existing four storey block comprising no.’s 1-16 Frank Towell Court lies to the south west.

7.89 In relation to no.’s 1-16 Frank Towell Court, this existing building is orientated east –west and there are no windows in the north side elevation. The southern part of Block B is limited to four storeys in height and designed to chamfer away from this existing block with the integral balconies completing the form, the taller element of Block B is sited to the north; therefore it is considered that there would be no loss of outlook, overbearing or visual intrusion caused to these neighbours by Block B.

7.90 The daylight and sunlight report demonstrates that whilst there may be a small reduction in daylight and sunlight for the existing flats in the four storey block, these are minimal and all meet the good practice guidelines. Therefore there would be no demonstrable harm caused to the existing residents by loss of light.

7.91 There would be windows and balconies facing south towards the existing four storey block, however there are no windows in the north elevation of the existing block and whilst they would give some views over the rear courtyard this is a communal area and currently overlooked by the existing flats, as such it is not considered that this would cause any harm to the living conditions of existing residents.

7.92 With regard to the existing tower block, no.’s 17-68 Frank Towell Court, Block B would be sited 18m to the west of this and project to the north.

7.93 There are windows in the west elevation of the tower block facing Block B, however a separation distance of 18m between these and those within Block B is considered suitable given the location and that this is a typical arrangement found in more densely populated areas, in addition the window arrangement has been designed to minimise direct lines of sight between windows. The outlook from these windows would alter but it is considered that this would not be to a degree which would cause demonstrable harm to the living conditions of these neighbours. There would be balconies on the eastern elevation facing the existing tower block however there would only be four and these are only found between first and fourth floor , these balconies have been designed with laser cut panel surrounds to be more enclosed than the other railed balconies and thus mitigate overlooking opportunities.

7.94 The daylight and sunlight report tested the flats within the tower block which are likely to be most impacted by the proposed development due to their position within the building. The daylight and sunlight report demonstrates that whilst there may be a small reduction in daylight and sunlight for the existing flats in this block, these are minimal with all exceeding the good practice guidelines; therefore the level of change is considered acceptable; it would not adversely affect the daylight in these properties.

Page 30: PLANNING COMMITTEE 01 October 2020... · ranging between three and nine storeys on the existing Frank Towell Court estate. The 102 new homes are 100% affordable and the application

7.95 In terms of sunlight there would be a minimal reduction in the annual probable sunlight hours, with all continuing to meet the good practice guidelines for both summer and winter; therefore there would be no adverse effect on the existing dwellings.

Block C

7.96 Block C is located along the northern boundary within the western portion of the site. Block D would be sited between this block and the neighbours along Bedfont Lane. Therefore whist a storey taller it would not have any impact on these neighbours in terms of overbearing, visual intrusion, loss of light or outlook. The decked access to the flats at second and third floor within Block C would be sited on the south of the building but given that this is approximately 15m from the boundary with these neighbours and being partially screen by Block D there would be no loss of privacy caused.

7.97 Similarly due to the relationship between Blocks C and D and the location of New Rivers House it is considered that Block C would not result in harm to the living conditions of these neighbours.

7.98 The scout hut is sited to the west of Block C, however this is a less sensitive use, and the proposal has been designed to ensure this site is not sterilised for the future so there are no concerns.

7.99 To the north the block adjoins the park and therefore there are no neighbours in this direction.

Block D

7.100 Block D relates to the mews houses in the western portion of the site. These back onto the rear gardens of no.’s 144 - 154 Bedfont Lane to the south, New River House to the south west and the Scout Hut to the west.

7.101 Due to the design of Block D there would be no mews house directly along the rear boundary of no.’s 150 and 152 Bedfont Lane and therefore there would be no demonstrable impact on these properties. The cycle store would be built along the rear boundary in this location however due to its scale this would not impact these neighbours.

7.102 The gardens for 144-154 Bedfont Lane all measure over 30m in length between the rear elevation and the boundary with the site; therefore there will be over 30m between the rear elevations of the proposed houses and these properties which means that the mews houses will not have any overshadowing or overbearing or loss of light effect on these neighbours. The houses would also not result in visual intrusion or loss of outlook for these neighbours, whilst the view would change this does not equate to harm to outlook; views in themselves are not a planning consideration. There would also be no intervisibility between windows given the separation distance and that the windows proposed in the rear of Block D are sited 1.7m above internal floor area or

Page 31: PLANNING COMMITTEE 01 October 2020... · ranging between three and nine storeys on the existing Frank Towell Court estate. The 102 new homes are 100% affordable and the application

obscurely glazed; the exception to this is the door at ground level in the rear of the one bedroom house, however this is set off the boundary and would be obscured by the boundary treatment. Consequently there would be no overlooking or loss of privacy caused from these windows. The proposed windows allow light into the mews houses without compromising the privacy of the existing gardens.

7.103 Given that the neighbouring properties on Bedfont Lane are located to the south of the proposed development, there would be minimal shadowing of the rear gardens, and this would only affect the very end, as such this would not be considered to harm the enjoyment of these gardens. It is acknowledged that there is some overshadowing of these gardens from the existing four storey block on the estate; this is an existing situation and would not be made worse by the proposal.

7.104 Views to the south from the terraces at second floor will be shielded by a parapet wall of suitable height to avoid opportunities for overlooking or loss of privacy.

7.105 New River House is located to the south west of Block D and approximately 1.6m from the site boundary. There are no windows in the rear of the mews house which directly face this neighbouring building and those which face the amenity space associated with the block are positioned above eye level to avoid loss of privacy.

7.106 Due to New River House lying to the south west of Block D there may be some shadowing in the morning but this would not be present for the majority of the day, therefore this would not be to a degree which would harm the living conditions of these neighbours.

7.107 In terms of outlook and visual intrusion the mews houses would be sited in close proximity to New River House, however the flats within New River House have a primary east-west outlook and so the impact of Block D is lessened. It is considered that this would not harm the living conditions of these residents to a degree which would warrant refusal of the application.

7.108 The side elevation of the eastern most mews house would face the rear elevation of the block comprising no.’s 1-16 Frank Towell Court, however it would be sited over 10m from this block across the courtyard. There are no windows in the closest part of the mews house, and the windows at first and second floor which face towards the existing block are secondary windows and sited over 13m away, this is considered an acceptable arrangement given the location of the site and the density of development, in addition the window arrangement has been designed to minimise opportunities for intervisibility.

7.109 The daylight and sunlight report demonstrates that whilst there may be a small reduction in daylight and sunlight for the existing flats in this block, these are minimal and all meet the good practice guidelines.

Page 32: PLANNING COMMITTEE 01 October 2020... · ranging between three and nine storeys on the existing Frank Towell Court estate. The 102 new homes are 100% affordable and the application

Therefore there would be no demonstrable harm caused to the existing residents by loss of light.

7.110 The scout hut is a less sensitive use, not being a residential property however the proposal has been designed to ensure this site is not sterilised for the future.

Blocks E and F

7.111 Blocks E and F are sited to the south of the existing four storey estate blocks and match the existing depth of these, thus they do not project to the front or rear of the blocks and do not obscure any existing windows. Due to the siting of the townhouses there would be no intervisibility between windows in the existing block and those in the townhouses. Whilst the position of windows in the side elevations of the townhouses may give oblique views over the rear courtyards associated with the existing blocks, these courtyards are already overlooked by the existing windows and so this would not result in any loss of privacy compared with the existing situation.

7.112 With regard to the neighbour at 144 Bedfont Lane, Block E would have side facing windows facing this property. However both properties primary outlook faces Bedfont Lane and the townhouse would be set forward of the neighbour so there would be no direct intervisibility between windows. The townhouse would be sited approximately 10m from the boundary with this neighbour; therefore there would be no loss of privacy. Whilst the townhouse would be taller than the neighbour given the separation distance and that it would be sited to the east of the neighbour there would be no harm caused by overshadowing or overbearing.

7.113 To the east of Block F lies 118 Bedfont Lane, a part four, part five storey building containing 28 flats. The balconies associated with these flats front Bedfont Lane and the only windows facing the application site are small and secondary. Block F would be sited 10m from the site boundary and thus 15m from the side elevation of this neighbouring building, it would also be set forward of the building so none of the windows would line up, avoiding any intervisibility. Due to the scale and siting of Block F and the relationship with this building it is considered that there would be no harm caused to the living condition of the existing residents.

7.114 There are residential properties along the southern side of Bedfont Lane opposite the site; however they are set back from the road and thus sited 20m from the closest part of the site. Due to the scale of Blocks E and F and the separation distance as well as these neighbours being sited to the south no concerns arise from impact on these neighbours.

7.115 In conclusion it is considered that the proposed development would not have any unacceptable impact on the living conditions of any of the

Page 33: PLANNING COMMITTEE 01 October 2020... · ranging between three and nine storeys on the existing Frank Towell Court estate. The 102 new homes are 100% affordable and the application

neighbouring properties in terms of privacy, overlooking, visual intrusion, loss of outlook or loss of daylight/sunlight.

Noise

7.116 The proposal would increase the number of homes on the site and include larger family accommodation, this means that more people would reside on the site and thus activity on site would be more intense. Nevertheless the site is located in a predominantly residential area and backs onto an area of public open space; therefore it is considered that the proposal would not result in any noise or disturbance that would be unusual or unacceptable within this setting. Consequently there are no concerns with regard to noise and disturbance arising from the proposed development.

7.117 Concerns have been raised with regard to noise and disturbance during construction, some noise and disturbance is inevitable during the development of a site however it is not expected that this would be unusually noisy or prolonged. The hours of construction are controlled by condition. If there are complaints regarding the construction activities on site these can be dealt with under pollution controls, outside of the planning process.

Lighting 7.118 Policy EQ6 states that when considering proposals for lighting or

floodlighting the Council will seek to minimise light pollution and ensure there is adequate protection from glare and light spill to sensitive receptors.

7.119 The applicant has not included details of any proposed external lighting. Any proposals for external lighting could be dealt with as part of the detailed landscaping scheme secured by condition (14).

Highways issues 7.120 Policy 6.3 of the London Plan states that developments should ensure

that impacts on the transport capacity and the transport network are fully assessed.

7.121 Policy 6.9 of the London Plan states that development should provide secure, integrated and accessible cycle parking facilities. Policy 6.13 states that the maximum car parking standards in table 6.2 should be applied and developments must provide electrical charging points to encourage the uptake of electric vehicles. Provision should be consistent with objectives to reduce congestion and traffic levels and to avoid undermining walking, cycling or public transport.

7.122 Policy EC2 of the adopted Local Plan seeks to secure a more sustainable local travel network that maximises opportunities for walking, cycling and using public transport.

Page 34: PLANNING COMMITTEE 01 October 2020... · ranging between three and nine storeys on the existing Frank Towell Court estate. The 102 new homes are 100% affordable and the application

7.123 The site has a formal Public Transport Accessibility Level (PTAL) of 3/4. There are three bus services within 400m of the site, with a further five services within 600m. Feltham Station is within 400m. As such, it is considered that the proposal has good accessibility to public transport

7.124 Feltham Town Centre, as defined by the Local Plan, is within 350m of the site, and the high street is a 600m walk away

Access

7.125 Vehicular access and the main pedestrian access to the site are taken from Bedfont Lane. Both the vehicular access and pedestrian accesses on Bedfont Lane will be enhanced to facilitate better pedestrian movement along Bedfont Lane and into the site. A new, more legible shared-use access to the park to the north is proposed, via the southern side of the Longford River. These improvements are considered necessary and can be secured by a condition (16) requiring the submission of full details and that they are completed prior to occupation of the development.

7.126 A raised table crossing is proposed across the vehicular access from Bedfont Lane which is welcome as this slows vehicles and improves the pedestrian environment.

Car parking

7.127 There are currently 108 general parking spaces within the site boundary and a further two disabled bays. In addition there are 31 garages, of which 13 are let to residents of Frank Towell Court, eight are let to residents of the surrounding area, and the remaining ten are not in use.

7.128 Overnight, weekday, and Saturday parking surveys have been undertaken for the Frank Towell Court estate and the surrounding roads. The overnight surveys for the wider area found that the average parking stress over the two nights surveyed was 63%, which is not considered to constitute a heavy level of parking. However, the survey results included streets within the Bedfont Lane CPZ which would be unavailable to other residents Mon-Fri 09:30-18:30 when restrictions are in place. Therefore these are unlikely to be used regularly by nearby residents from outside the CPZ and should be discounted from the survey results. Doing so gives an average overnight parking stress of 67%, still below the 90% level that is generally regarded as the threshold for excessive parking stress.

7.129 Over both nights surveyed, the average number of cars parked in the Frank Towell Court estate, which constitutes Glebelands Road and the areas in front of the garages, was 59, whereas the overall number of spaces including disabled spaces is 110.

7.130 71 car parking spaces are proposed across the site, made up of 59 general parking bays, eight disabled parking bays, and four visitor

Page 35: PLANNING COMMITTEE 01 October 2020... · ranging between three and nine storeys on the existing Frank Towell Court estate. The 102 new homes are 100% affordable and the application

parking bays. The site plan identifies where a further four disabled parking bays can be provided in the future should demand dictate. The number of general parking spaces would provide for the average number of cars found to park in the estate over the two nights surveyed, essentially only re-providing spaces for the existing residents. It is unlikely that the let garages would be used for regular parking due to their restricted internal dimensions and the availability of unrestricted parking in the estate therefore it is not considered necessary to provide additional spaces for these. Other than disabled parking spaces, no parking would be provided for residents of the new dwellings.

7.131 The Intend to Publish London Plan prescribes a maximum of 0.5 car parking spaces per dwelling in areas with a PTAL of 4. As the site would accommodate 186 homes overall (84 existing and 102 proposed), the proposed parking provision would result in a parking ratio of 0.38 thereby satisfying the policy. However, given the accessibility of the site and that the proposed general parking provision is intended to satisfy the existing demand, there is scope to reduce the number of spaces over time as existing residents move out or their circumstances change.

7.132 Eight disabled parking bays would be provided from the outset with the plans indicating where another four could be provided if demand dictates. As there are already two disabled parking bays serving the site, the proposal would provide six additional disabled parking bays and four potential disabled bays for the new dwellings. This is one short of the overall 11 bays required by the Intend to Publish London Plan however there appears to be scope to accommodate this shortfall within the site and this can be secured by condition (17).

7.133 The Transport Statement commits to meeting the Intend to Publish London Plan standards in terms of EV charging provision. These require that 20% of the spaces are provided with active chargers, with the remaining spaces provided with a passive provision. Details of where the active chargers will be located and their specification can be secured by condition (18), with the provision installed and available for use prior to occupation.

7.134 To secure the proposed car-free nature of the additional homes, a CPZ should be advanced for the surrounding streets and a contribution secured to cover the cost of its consultation and potential implementation. The existing and future addresses in the Frank Towell Court estate will need to be made ineligible for parking permits for the CPZ; this can be secured within the legal agreement. It is not envisaged that the parking within the development would be included in the wider CPZ, if implemented, and instead would be available for residents of the estate solely.

7.135 If a CPZ isn’t advanced after consulting neighbouring residents, the additional parking demand of 38 would result in parking stress levels of

Page 36: PLANNING COMMITTEE 01 October 2020... · ranging between three and nine storeys on the existing Frank Towell Court estate. The 102 new homes are 100% affordable and the application

92%. This would be slightly above the 90% threshold that is generally regarded as constituting excessive parking stress. The additional demand could be reduced, thereby improving parking stress levels, through a Travel Plan and the allocation of the additional homes to non-car owners where possible.

7.136 A Parking Management Plan will need to detail how the spaces would be managed, how parking will be restricted to the marked bays only and how parking elsewhere will be enforced against, how the active EV bays will be allocated and when the passive bays are converted to active bays, and a scheme for reducing the parking over time in favour of landscaping and amenity areas. This can be secured by condition (5).

7.137 In terms of the parking layout, each of the parking spaces adheres to the relevant dimensional standards and would be provided with appropriate manoeuvring space. The scheme has been revised to improve visibility of pedestrians using the east-west route through the car parking area, directly south of the central children’s play park however to provide pedestrian priority the pedestrian route to the central courtyard area should be raised to slow vehicles where pedestrians are being guided to cross, however this can be finalised and secured through the landscaping condition (14).

7.138 The eight disabled parking spaces provided from the outset would be clustered around Frank Towell Court which is in close proximity to the proposed blocks and adjacent to where the two existing disabled parking spaces are situated therefore the locations are considered acceptable.

Trip generation

7.139 The TRICS database was interrogated for comparable sites to understand the likely trips that would be generated by the additional units proposed. Adjusting the results to reflect the intended car-free nature of the additional homes, the exercise found that there would be nine additional two-way trips by private vehicles in the AM peak and seven in the PM peak. Neither is likely to be perceptible over the existing traffic flows, equating to one additional trip every 6 minutes. However, this assumes that the proposed units would not have access to parking opportunities which is reliant on a CPZ being progressed on surrounding streets as referred to above.

7.140 If this were not the case, a very-much worst-case scenario whereby the additional units’ mode share mirrors the Travel to Work mode share from the 2011 Census data, the number of additional two-way car journeys in the AM and PM peaks rises to 95 and 88 respectively. This equates to three additional movements every two minutes approximately. Mitigation measures included in a Travel Plan, improvements to walking and cycling routes, and the provision of high quality cycle parking would reduce this worst-case scenario private car trip generation to more acceptable levels, while the imposition of a CPZ

Page 37: PLANNING COMMITTEE 01 October 2020... · ranging between three and nine storeys on the existing Frank Towell Court estate. The 102 new homes are 100% affordable and the application

on surrounding streets and effective management of the on-site parking would bring the levels down to those expected by the Transport Statement.

7.141 Accordingly the proposal is considered acceptable in terms of trip generation and traffic and would not warrant refusal of the application.

Highway status

7.142 Part of Block A will be built on public highway therefore this will need to be Stopped Up to remove the public right of way. The proposal includes the Stopping Up of the whole of Glebelands Road; this would allow the proposed parking to be more flexibly managed to better serve the needs of existing residents. An obligation within the legal agreement will secure and safeguard a public right of way from Bedfont Lane to the Longford River path for pedestrians and cyclists to benefit the wider area.

Cycle parking

7.143 Cycle parking is proposed to be provided in line with the Intend to Publish London Plan standards, and indicative layouts are shown on the ground floor plans. Additional cycle spaces are also being proposed for the existing flats which is welcome. The locations of the stores are acceptable, however there are some improvements that could be made so that the spaces are as convenient and accessible as possible: the two tier stands to have centre-to-centre distances of 500mm and the inclusion of more Sheffield-type stands. It is considered that there is sufficient space within the internal stores and the wider site to accommodate these and therefore the full details of the layout of the stores can be secured by condition (6).

Travel planning

7.144 A full Travel Plan will be secured by condition (8) to encourage more active forms of travel and the use of public transport in lieu of private car journeys.

Refuse storage

7.145 Each of the existing and proposed blocks will be provided with dedicated bin stores in appropriate locations. Swept path analysis has been provided showing that a refuse vehicle can get to within the 15m drag distance of the bin stores with an acceptable level of reversing (less than 12m).

Deliveries and servicing

7.146 An outline Delivery and Servicing Plan has been included in the Transport Statement which considers the expected number of servicing vehicles, their type, and the likely dwell times. There is sufficient space within the site for such deliveries to take place without impacting on the

Page 38: PLANNING COMMITTEE 01 October 2020... · ranging between three and nine storeys on the existing Frank Towell Court estate. The 102 new homes are 100% affordable and the application

public highway, access to the parking space, and pedestrian and cyclist movements.

Construction phase

7.147 An outline Construction Logistics Plan (CLP) has been included in the Transport Statement and is generally acceptable. A detailed CLP will be secured by condition (4), with specific measures to minimise disturbance to existing residents through the construction phase and needs to include a Staff Travel Plan to ensure that staff and contractors travel to the site by sustainable means and avoid parking within the Frank Towell Court estate or roads surrounding the site. The detailed CLP will need to be worked up with the main contractor, once appointed, to ensure that it is realistic and achievable.

Environmental Considerations

Air Quality

7.148 The Council’s Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP) designates the whole borough as an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA), and identifies road transport as the major source of air pollution, giving rise to nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter which can cause respiratory illnesses and other adverse health effects.

7.149 The applicant has submitted an Air Quality Assessment to support the application which has been reviewed by the Council’s Environmental Strategy officers.

7.150 The report states that the proposed development will use air source heat pumps and therefore will not have the potential to cause significant effects on local air quality. In addition the predicted concentrations of NO2, PM10 and PM2.5 within the proposed development are predicted to be below the relevant NAQOs. As such, residents will experience acceptable air quality. This is considered acceptable.

7.151 The revised Air Quality Assessment submitted has addressed the initial comments regarding background concentrations used and the HDV movements during the construction phase. As such there are no reasons for refusal on Air Quality grounds, however, as stated within the report a condition should be included to protect surrounding sensitive receptors, this is recommended accordingly (19 and 20).

Contamination

7.152 The site investigation submitted by the applicant does not any indicate significant risk to human health, controlled waters or ecology and wildlife associated with the development of the site as currently proposed. The Council’s Land Quality Team reviewed the report and considers it satisfactory, although a condition is required in relating to further investigation and remediation as concluded within the report;

Page 39: PLANNING COMMITTEE 01 October 2020... · ranging between three and nine storeys on the existing Frank Towell Court estate. The 102 new homes are 100% affordable and the application

this is standard given the low risk. Therefore no objections are raised to the scheme subject to the inclusion of a suitable planning condition; this is recommended accordingly (21).

Flood Risk/ Drainage

7.153 The site lies within Flood Zone 1 and is therefore has low probability of flooding. It is therefore considered suitable for residential development.

7.154 The applicant has submitted a drainage strategy to support the application; and this has been revised following initial comments from the Lead Local Flood Authority.

7.155 The Authority is satisfied that appropriate full details and detailed drainage designs can be secured by condition (22). It is recommended that evidence to demonstrate the development is carried out in accordance with the final approved details is also required by condition (23).

Ecology

7.156 The proposal would result in the removal of the southern portion of the broadleaved semi-natural woodland habitat located in the north-west of the site. Whilst generally this should be retained and protected wherever possible, in this instance it is not possible to retain this woodland and develop this part of the site, and given the pressing need for additional affordable homes and that appropriate offsetting could be incorporated into the landscaping plans, it is considered that suitable ecological enhancements can be included to off-set this loss.

7.157 As set out in the Preliminary Ecological Assessment (PEA) there is opportunity in the north-west and along the northern edge of the site, within the “Nature Play” and “Riverside Park” areas to create naturalistic planting and introduce wildlife features, such as:

Incorporation of native plants and those of wildlife importance in to landscaping scheme to provide foraging opportunities for a wide range of fauna

Creation of a pond or bird/bee bath to provide a static water source for fauna

Creation of log piles and compost heaps to provide additional shelter and foraging resources for a wide range of fauna

Improved connectivity of green infrastructure with new hedgerow planting and infill planting

Provision of new bat roosting, bird nesting (targeting species of conservation concern present locally, e.g. house sparrow) and invertebrate

Page 40: PLANNING COMMITTEE 01 October 2020... · ranging between three and nine storeys on the existing Frank Towell Court estate. The 102 new homes are 100% affordable and the application

sheltering opportunities within new buildings and on retained mature trees

Provision of hedgehog gaps in new fencing to promote habitat connectivity across and within the Site

Provision of hedgehog boxes to create sheltering opportunities

7.158 The landscaping strategy includes an ecological enhancement strategy which includes bat and bird boxes, log piles, hedgehog box, hedgehog gaps are proposed in close board fencing, bird/bee bath and compost heap as well as native and fruiting tree and shrub species and foraging resources for mammals and birds. This approach is considered acceptable, however full details will be required as part of a condition for an Ecological Management Plan (EMP) (condition 28) and this will include a re-calculation of the Urban Greening factor to increase this to 0.4 minimum and details for how this will be achieved.

7.159 The Longford River, which runs through the Blenheim Park, Feltham Arenas and Glebelands Playing Fields open spaces, is designated as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation grade I and runs adjacent to the northern border of the site. To avoid run-off and pollution of the waterway during construction, such as from dust and debris, the PEA recommends that best practice construction methods should be applied and that a suitable Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) is conditioned. The Council’s Ecological Expert agrees with this recommendation and a condition is recommended accordingly (24).

7.160 The Council also agrees with the recommendation set out in section 5.18: ‘Any habitat to be retained within or adjacent to the construction site should be protected from physical damage or root zone compaction with tree fencing in line with BS 5837:2012 Trees in relation to design, construction and demolition’. This will be secured by condition (25).

7.161 The PEA makes other recommendations with regards to when works should be carried out in relation to bats, birds and reptiles, as well as a precautionary check for water voles and mitigation advice provided as necessary should any physical works take place within c. 5m of the river. These are all agreed and will be secured by conditions (24, 25, 26, 27).

7.162 It is considered reasonable and necessary to require the submission of additional details by conditions, these will ensure the development is acceptable and ensure the preservation and maintenance of the environment.

Page 41: PLANNING COMMITTEE 01 October 2020... · ranging between three and nine storeys on the existing Frank Towell Court estate. The 102 new homes are 100% affordable and the application

Trees

7.163 The proposal would result in the removal of a total of fourteen trees, one tree group and part of a tree group. All of the trees proposed to be removed are category B or C trees and therefore not the best (category A).

7.164 Tree Group 2 which is to be removed relates to the woodland, this is a self-set copse and the value is as a collective rather than individual trees as many are suppressed, have deadwood etc. however there is wildlife value and this is addressed in the ecology section above.

7.165 Tree 1 is a memorial tree, although this is adopted rather than planted and consultation has taken place with a dedicated replacement to be planted. This will form part of the detailed landscaping proposals.

7.166 The landscape proposal include substantial new planting as part of the proposal, and the indicative species are considered suitable and include a mix of large, medium and small trees. This is considered acceptable in the circumstances.

7.167 The Arboricultural Assessment sets out measures to protect the retained trees, these are considered appropriate and therefore a condition (26) is recommended which requires works to be carried out in accordance with these. Therefore it is considered that the retained trees would be suitably protected.

Planning Obligations

7.168 Local Plan Policy IMP3 (Implementing and monitoring the local plan) seeks to ensure that development proposals fully mitigate the impacts of the development on the area through planning obligations. Such obligations are usually secured within a Section 106 agreement having regard to supplementary planning document and provide the CIL payments required by any charging scheduled, including the Mayor of London’s CIL. A payment or other benefit offered in a Section 106 agreement is not material to a decision to grant planning permission and cannot be required unless it complies with the provisions of the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 (regulation 122), which provide that the planning obligation must be:

a) necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms;

b) directly related to the development; and

c) fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development.

7.169 A Section 106 agreement may not address all of the impacts of a development since some of these may be addressed by CIL, in order to satisfy the Regulation 122 tests above.

Page 42: PLANNING COMMITTEE 01 October 2020... · ranging between three and nine storeys on the existing Frank Towell Court estate. The 102 new homes are 100% affordable and the application

7.170 The NPPG provides guidance on use of planning obligations, which may impose a restriction or requirement, or provide for payment to make acceptable development proposals that might otherwise not be acceptable in planning terms. The Council’s Supplementary Planning Document on Planning Obligations (adopted March 2008) contains guidance on imposition of planning obligations in compliance with such guidance. These obligations may offset shortfalls in the scheme or mitigate a development’s impacts.

7.171 As the Council is the applicant and land owner as well as the responsible Local Planning Authority, it is not possible to complete a S106 agreement however the relevant planning obligations can be secured through a Unilateral Undertaking from the Council as landowner to the Local Planning Authority.

7.172 The recommendation to approve this application is subject to the legal agreement requiring the following:

Construction Training – onsite or contribution (£2,750 per £1m construction cost) £75,625

Carbon Offset Fund Contribution £55,675

Considerate Contractor Scheme

Secure and retain access to park for public (Glebelands Playing

Field)

Contribution for CPZ consultation (£5,000), and further

contribution (£35,000) for implementation if required. If the

consultation comes back negative or the CPZ is not progressed

for any reason, the implementation amount can be spent on

active travel improvements in the vicinity to help mitigate the

lack of a CPZ.

8.0 EQUALITIES DUTIES IMPLICATIONS

8.1 The public sector equality duty applies to all council decisions.

8.2 A public authority or any person who exercises public functions must, in the exercise of those functions, have due regard to the need to:

(a) eliminate discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other conduct prohibited by or under the Act;

Page 43: PLANNING COMMITTEE 01 October 2020... · ranging between three and nine storeys on the existing Frank Towell Court estate. The 102 new homes are 100% affordable and the application

(b) advance equality of opportunity between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it;

(c) foster good relations between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it.

8.3 Having due regard to the need to advance equality of opportunity, this involves having due regard, in particular, to the need to:

(a) remove or minimise disadvantages suffered by persons who share a relevant protected characteristic that are connected to that characteristic;

(b) take steps to meet the needs of persons who share a relevant protected characteristic that are different from the needs of persons who do not share it;

(c) encourage persons who share a relevant protected characteristic to participate in public life or in any other activity in which participation by such persons is disproportionately low.

8.4 This shall include, in particular, but is not limited to steps to take account of disabled persons' disabilities.

8.5 The exercise of public functions must have due regard to the need to foster good relations between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and those who do not, in particular, to the need to:

(a) tackle prejudice; and

(b) promote understanding.

8.6 Compliance with these duties may involve treating some persons more favourably than others. This is not to be taken as permitting conduct that would otherwise be prohibited by or under the Act.

8.7 The relevant protected characteristics are: age; disability; gender reassignment; pregnancy and maternity; race; religion or belief; sex; marriage and civil partnership; and sexual orientation.

8.8 Due regard needs to be demonstrated in the decision making process and requires an analysis of the material with the specific statutory considerations in mind. It does not follow that the considerations raised will be decisive in a particular case the weight given to them will be for the decision maker. The equalities duty is not a duty to achieve a particular result. Some equalities considerations are covered under other legislation such as building control matters. Officers have in considering this application and preparing this report had regard to the public sector equality duty and have concluded that due regard has been given to the Council’s duty in respect of its equalities duties and that if approving or refusing this proposal the Council will be acting in compliance with its duties.

9.0 LOCAL FINANCE CONSIDERATIONS AND THE COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE LEVY

9.1 Section 70(2) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as

amended) provides that a local planning authority must have regard to a local finance consideration as far as it is material. A local finance consideration means: a) a grant or other financial assistance that has been, or will or could be, provided to a relevant authority by a Minister of the Crown; or

b) sums that a relevant authority has received, or will or could receive, in payment of Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL).

9.2 The weight to be attached to a local finance consideration remains a matter for the decision maker. The Mayor of London's CIL and Hounslow CIL are therefore material considerations.

9.3 Most new development which creates net additional floor space of 100 square metres or more, or creates a new dwelling, is potentially liable to pay the CIL to Hounslow and the Mayor of London.

9.4 The above is calculated in relation to the new development, rather than the existing buildings which are to be retained and not altered as part of this permission.

9.5 This proposal would not be liable to pay the CIL which is index linked.

9.6 The estimated Hounslow CIL payable is £670,670 and Mayoral CIL payable is £862,290. This does not include any exemptions which may be sought. Given the scheme is for 100% affordable housing, it is likely that it will be exempt.

10.0 Conclusion

10.1 The proposal would provide 102 new homes of a suitable standard, 100% of which would be affordable in a highly sustainable scheme without adversely impacting on the character of the area, neighbour amenities, environmental conditions or the local highways network. The scheme would mitigate for its ecological impacts.

11.0 RECOMMENDATION:

1. That planning permission be granted subject to the following conditions (or minor variations of such) and securing the abovementioned planning

Page 45: PLANNING COMMITTEE 01 October 2020... · ranging between three and nine storeys on the existing Frank Towell Court estate. The 102 new homes are 100% affordable and the application

obligations by the prior completion of a satisfactory legal agreement or unilateral undertaking made under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and of highways agreements under Sections 38 and 278 of the Highways Act 1980 (at the appropriate time) or other appropriate legislation, the exact terms of which shall be negotiated by appropriate officers within the Housing, Planning and Communities Department on the advice of the Assistant Director Corporate Governance.

2. The satisfactory legal agreement or unilateral undertaking outlined above shall be completed and planning permission issued by 30/10/2020 or such extended period as may be agreed in writing by appropriate officers within the Housing, Planning and Communities Department or within Legal Services.

3.
