                                                      ADDENDUM 
               
              1.0   Introduction  
               
              1.1    At the Committee’s last meeting (10/10/17) the current application to provide a 
                     building containing commercial space, a gallery at ground floor level and Class 
                     B1 office space was considered.  
               
              1.2    This is the fourth planning application submitted by the developer since 
                     December 2014 with only one application determined (02/09/15). That 
                     application was refused and is subject to a planning appeal due to be considered 
                     by a public inquiry (09/05/18). 
               
              2.0  Current application 
               
              2.1    At the last meeting Committee resolved to refuse, subject to no contrary direction 
                     from the London Mayor, due to: 
               
                     1.  Height and massing of the proposed building. 
                     2.  Impact on views into and out of nearby conservation areas. 
                     3.  Loss of a locally listed Building of Merit. 
               
                                                              
              2.2    Due to the scale of the application the determination will be referred to the Mayor 
                     of London, and is subject to any direction he may make. The current application 
                     is yet to be referred to the Mayor 
               
              2.3    The Council has a duty to ensure consideration of all material matters in 
                     determining applications and can consider applications further at a subsequent 
                     meeting until a decision notice is issued.  
               
              3.0  For consideration 
               
              3.1    Officers need to ensure the committee is fully advised of all the matters prior to 
                     issuing a decision notice. As such it is appropriate for the committee to ensure 
                     consideration of all material issues presented by officers. 
               
              3.2    The committee needs to be clear of the significant risk in relation to the appeal 
                     scheme and its decision in relation to the current application. This is a material 
                     consideration that Committee is required to fully assess in determining the 
                     current application.  
               
              3.3    The Council’s stated position on the appeal application is: it is not opposed to the 
                     principle of the redevelopment of the site. Permission was refused on the appeal 
                     scheme due to the specific detail of the proposals.  
               
              3.4    As set out in the report, the current application addresses the specific reasons for 
                     refusal of the appeal scheme. This is the reason why officers recommend 
                     approval of the current application.   
               
              3.5    The three areas of concern identified by committee are addressed in detail in the 
                     current application report. Committee’s attention is drawn to paragraphs: 
               
                     ▪   3.10–3.50 set out the design of the building (including massing), its 
                         relationship to conservation areas, setting back of the building line and how 
                         this addresses the reasons for refusal of the appeal scheme.   
                     ▪   3.38–3.44 address the public benefits of new areas of open space weighed 
                         against the loss of the Building of Merit, again addressing the reason for 
                         refusal of the appeal scheme. 
               
              3.6    Committee needs to ensure consistency of approach in determining the 
                     application, given that the principle of the redevelopment of the site is accepted, 
                     and having considered the view of officers that the current application addresses 
                     the specific reasons for refusal of the appeal scheme. 
               
              3.7    Sufficient weight also needs to be given to other elements of the current scheme, 
                     that are different, or of greater benefit than the appeal scheme. In particular, 
                     paragraphs 4.1–4.7 of the report give a summary of officers’ conclusions on the 
                     current application. 
               
              3.8    Should the developer lodge an appeal against a refusal of the current scheme 
                     the Council would be required to defend the reasons and provide robust 
                     evidence. At such an appeal, the absence of robust evidence to support a reason 
                     for refusal would be viewed as unreasonable. This would pose a significant risk
