Report of the Executive Head of Planning and Transportation (ENCLOSURE).

The Committee considered a report on the above application for the creation of a new third floor to 44 Wallington Square and the conversion of 44 Wallington Square to form 33 new residential units (12 affordable units), comprising 19 two-bedroom and 14 one-bedroom self-contained flats, and new bicycle and refuse storage; the installation of new shop fronts for units 1, 2 and 3; an extension to the front of units 4-6 and 41-43 Wallington Square; the creation of a new unit to provide 92 m² (for purposes falling within use classes A1, A2 and A3); alterations to the shopping centre entrance; and the provision of 36 parking spaces and associated works.

The application had been de-delegated by Councillor Jayne McCoy.

Officers submitted additional recommended conditions relating to the environmental sustainability of the proposed scheme; and reported that the applicant had agreed to additional terms in the proposed ‘section 106’ agreement relating to highways issues, the provision of Oyster cards and information packs about public transport for residents, and, possibly, the provision of a residents’ car club.

In response to questions officers explained that ‘section 106’ funding on amenity space had to be spent in the locality, and not in the Borough; that the colour of the proposed render and approval of the level of sound insulation provided would be reserved by conditions; and that a condition could be added also requiring approval of any external lighting.

Mr Dan Billin, an objector, and Councillor Jayne McCoy, a ward councillor, addressed the meeting under Standing Order 33, and Mr Julian Sutton replied on behalf of the applicant.  The Chair also permitted Mr Tony Rowland, a local businessman, to speak in support of the application.

The principal issues raised by Mr Billin were:-

• He was not opposed to improvements in principle
• The proposal would contravene four planning policies relating to car parking, school places, amenity space and over-development

Officers clarified that the part of the floor where the proposed 36 parking spaces were located would be closed to the public, and not the whole floor.

In response to questions Mr Billin explained that his major objection was the construction of an additional floor, which would create an adverse impact, rather than the conversion of only the existing two floors above the shop units.

Officers indicated that the height of the proposed scheme would probably be similar to the recently remodelled Mint House in Stanley Park Road, Wallington.

The principal issues raised by Councillor McCoy were:-

• Wallington Square needed a facelift to attract customers and businesses
• The provision of flats was a sensible approach that would meet housing needs
• The provision of flats would reduce the pressure to build flats elsewhere in Wallington
• No objection had been raised to the similar increase in the height of Mint House
• The proposal would provide more attractive shop units
• The proposal would create a favourable impact in the centre of Wallington

In response to questions Councillor McCoy explained that, like Mint House, Wallington Square  ...  view the full minutes text for item 66.

A poll vote on the officers’ recommendation to remove the tenure specification was held in accordance with Standing Order 33.4, when there voted:

Resolved: That the description of planning permission reference No. B2009/61297/FUL be amended to delete any reference to the housing tenure specification.
