Agenda item

RESOLVED

Unanimously

That it be noted that the Committee is satisfied with the information submitted, and subject to informatives outlined in the report, agreed to the discharge of Condition 3 Construction Management Plan of the planning permission DC/21/123262 for:

·                     The demolition of existing garages at the rear of 4 - 24 Blythe Vale SE6 (land on the west side of Blythe Vale) and

·                     The erection of 9 dwellings, with associated hard and soft landscaping, car parking, cycle parking and refuse storage.

Councillor Tauseef Anwar declared a pecuniary interest in relation to Item 3, “39-43 Eddystone Road, London, SE4 2DE”, and he left the room during consideration of the proposal and the recommendations.

The meeting noted that Councillor Anwar returned to the room during consideration of this Item and remained until the close of the meeting. 

4.1     The Planning Officer gave an illustrative presentation of the report, advising the Committee to agree the recommendations therein.

4.2     The Committee noted that the proposal was in relation to submission of details of the Construction Management Plan in compliance with Condition 3 of planning application referenced DC/21/123262 dated 25 February 2022 for:

·            Demolition of existing garages at the rear of 4-24 Blythe Vale SE6 (land on the west side of Blythe Vale); and

·            The erection of 9 dwellings, with associated hard and soft landscaping, car parking, cycle parking and refuse storage.

4.3     In considering the report, the Committee noted the following:

·               That the main issues considered by officers when formulating the proposal were whether the submitted Construction Management Plan was acceptable and covered the requirement of Condition 3 in relation to transport and amenity impact on the living conditions of those residing in neighbouring properties.

·               That the Council’s specialists in the Highways Team and the Environment Protection Team assessed the technical details and raised no objections to the proposal.

4.4     In response to questions raised, the Committee noted clarifications by Planning officers as follows:

·            That during construction phase all vehicles would be limited to 10 meters long as that was the largest vehicle size that could access the development site to prevent damage to the party walls including boundary walls and fences.

·            There would be a hoarding around the site during the construction period.

·            That an operative trained banksman and traffic marshal would direct vehicle movements.

·            That 8 on-street parking suspensions would be applied by the Council, to ensure the manoeuvring of large vehicle would be in line with its Local Policy guidance.

·            That deliveries would be restricted between 9:30 to 14:30 during school term time to reduce the impact on the traffic flows and safety.

·            That the Council would not be policing restrictions on delivery activities during construction work on the site as the applicant would be required to comply with the planning obligations in a manner which would minimise possible noise, disturbance, and pollution to neighbouring properties, and comply with policy requirements for improving air quality, and for managing deliveries and servicing during construction work.

·            That regarding the management of deliveries during construction on the proposed site, the Council would take enforcement actions if there was a breach of legal obligations, but not necessarily where the developer had agreed a voluntary arrangement with the Council.

4.5     The agent for the applicants also responded to a question advising the Committee that the applicants were expected to comply to their organisation’s risk assessment as part of the planning obligations.

4.6     Following a direction by the Chair of the Committee, Councillor Jacq Paschoud, Councillor Stephen Penfold proposed, and Councillor James Royston seconded a move of the recommendation in the report, which was voted upon, and the Committee
