I'm Councillor, hello, we have come to order actually. Excuse me. Thank you. I'm Councillor Nigel Young, Chair of the Strategic Planning Committee. Thank you for attending the Planning Committee this evening. I will ask members of the committee to first introduce themselves, followed by the Planning Officers, the Legal Officer and Governance. So if we could start with Councillor Cornelius. Well, thank you for introducing me. I'm Richard Cornelius. Thank you. I'm Michael Maier. If you just pause for a second, Councillor Naranthira. I'm Councillor Nagas Naranthira, Colindale South Ward. Councillor Rishikesh Chakraborty, West Hendon Ward. Councillor Richard Barnes, Barnet Vale Ward. I'm Claire Farrion, Councillor Paisley. Councillor Phil Cohen, East Barnet Ward. And Councillor Gordon, could you introduce yourself? Councillor Gordon, Ezra Ward. Thank you, and then Officers that are present. I'm Susanne Young, this Legal Advisor to Committee. Fabian Godin, Director for Planning and Building Control. I'm Sam Gerstein, Principal Planner in the Barnet Planning Team. Peter Olsok, the Brent Cross Planning Manager within the Planning Team. Karina Dimitriou, Governance Officer. Thank you very much. So we ask that everyone remains seated throughout the meeting, unless you're called to the table to address the committee. Please note that meetings may be recorded and broadcast as allowed for in law or by the council. By attending either in person or online, you may be picked up on recordings. Council recordings are covered by our privacy notice, which can be found at barnet.gov.uk. For the application that we're hearing tonight, the planning officer will present the application. Each speaker, I think there's only one, will have three minutes to address the committee. The governance officer will inform you when there is one minute left. The committee will have the opportunity to ask questions of the speaker and the officers, and then following discussion, the committee will determine the application, and the chair will announce the committee's decision. When you come to speak, please, and for members of the committee, but you all know this, please press the middle speaker icon to turn on the mic and ensure that after you've finished speaking, you press the microphone off to ensure there's no feedback, and also so the system can pick up the person that is speaking. So we have agenda item number one in the minutes of the last meeting. Are we happy that I sign those as a true record of the meeting? Thank you. Absence of members. I have apologies from Councillor Greenspan, who's being substituted by Councillor Marr. Welcome, Councillor Marr. I don't have any declarations of members' interests, but if there are any, please let me know. Thank you. And also no dispensations granted by the monitoring officer to report. There is an addendum to the substantive item that we have tonight. Are we happy that we take that addendum? That's agreed, thank you. And so that moves us on to the substantive item for tonight, which is Unit 7, Staples, Coroner, Retail, Clerk. And we start with the planning officer. Thank you. Thank you, Chair. So an application has been submitted for demolition of existing buildings and structures and redevelopment of the site to provide a building with a height of up to 26 storeys plus ground and mezzanine level, reducing to part 10 and part 11 storeys plus ground and mezzanine level. This is to provide a purpose-built student accommodation scheme, predominantly, with some ancillary commercial uses on the ground floor. The scheme also accommodates amenities for students within the building and some external amenities as well. In terms of the addendum items, I'll just draw briefly attention to an email that was received from the London Healthy Development Unit just to confirm they had no further representations on the application and a further representation from TfL Engineering and Technical Insurance just concerning some additional specification elements to the on-site bus driver welfare facilities, which the applicant has responded to officers to confirm that the additional specification comments are minor in nature and can be progressed through the detailed discussions with TfL. The other item to mention in the addendum is the Barnett's Draft Local Plan Regulation 25. The Council has now received the Planning Inspector's Report on the Local Plan and the Inspector's Report concludes that the duty to co-operate has been met and subject to the recommended main modifications, the Barnett Local Plan is legally compliant, which means that the Local Plan can be afforded a significant weight in determination of planning applications. Now just moving to the site. The site is located in the Staples Corner Retail Park, which comprises a mixture of industrial bulky goods retail style uses. To the north you've got the North Circular Road and Staples Corner Roundabout and the M1 Slip Road onto the M1. To the south of the Staples Corner Retail Park you have the Consented Waste Transfer Station and further up beyond the Rail Freight Facility operated by DV Cargo and Cricklewood Centre further south. To the west you have the London Borough of Brent with the A5 comprising the borough boundary. This is strategic industrial land and is subject to master planning and design codes that London Borough of Brent have been producing. I'll move on to that in a moment. On the east hand side you have the Brent Cross Cricklewood Regeneration which is part of the opportunity area for Brent Cross Cricklewood. I'll just move on to that in a moment. Moving to the east of the site, it does comprise the Brent Cross Cricklewood Regeneration and this is a comprehensive regeneration of Brent Cross Cricklewood. The Cricklewood, the Clamon Industrial Estate on the southern part of the development and on the northern part the Brent Cross Shopping Centre and also the Brent Cross West Station redevelopment. The southern development is being delivered through a joint venture between London Borough of Barnet and Related Argent and comprises up to 6,700 homes, a new town centre, 3 million square foot of office space and supported by local highways, parks and other social community infrastructure works. This is just a view of the aerial view looking down towards the site with the site highlighted and showing the Brent Cross West Station also constructed and open since December last year and this provides services into London, apologies it's quite small to see but you can see the station highlighted there, services into London St Pancras and Luton Airport Parkway in the north. On the western side is the London Borough of Brent's design codes and London Borough of Brent's Strategic Industrial Land Staples Corner which has recently been developed through comprehensive design coding and master planning. You'll see on the text to the right hand side that London Borough of Brent received Cabinet approval for adoption earlier this week. Then moving to London Borough of Barnet Local Development Framework, the key policy for London Borough of Barnet is the policy GSS 03 which is the Growth Area Policy for the Staples Corner Retail Park which comprises the Brent Cross West Staples Corner Master Plan, Brent Cross West Staples Corner Growth Area, apologies. The policy designation sets expectations, apologies my mouse is not working. Apologies, I can't change slides. Thank you. The Growth Area designation is for upwards of 1,800 homes and a combination of users to support the Growth Area objectives for the Growth Area. Moving to other aspects of the Local Development Framework, this is an excerpt from the Tall Buildings Update which is part of the evidence base for the Local Plan and what it shows is several clusters of buildings of height located along the A5 corridor one of which is further in the Brent Cross Staples Corner area. I'm just highlighting here with my mouse here. Just to note that the Council's regeneration services did undertake some master planning and design work for the Staples Corner area within the Western Lands Growth Area and this is denoted by the orange circle here and this is really just some design and urban design master planning that the Council services commissioned to try and articulate how schemes might come forward and exploring layout and master plan principles and connections to the other emerging growth areas to the east and the west as well. This is just a slide showing some of the master planning, massing and principles that have been developed and that have just been developed alongside as part of the works. It's important to note that this is not a planning document, it's an aid to aid discussions with developers and to help articulate how linkages and designs may come forward in the Growth Area. I'm just moving to the site description. This is the site here right next to the Brent Cross West Station and you can see the existing building which is a brick built with a corrugated rooftop, approximately three storeys. I'm just moving to some other site photographs here. This is the front of the site, picking up local bus services. I've just included a slide showing some of the bus connections that are available from the site. The 316 connecting down the A5 towards Shepherd's Bush and White City. It's worth noting other routes nearby, the 189 on the other side of Brent Cross West Station takes you to Marble Arch and other bus routes nearby the 232 northeast towards Arnall's Grove and Wood Green. The 182 through to Wembley and Harrow Wheel pass the University of Westminster and the 326 from the shopping centre itself, which is a short bus journey to Middlesex University campus as well. It's worth noting. And just some other photos of the site here, looking north up Heron Way and then looking south and at the back of the sites. And just a collection of photos of the site environs with Brent Cross West Station entrance there on the top left of the screen. So just moving to the design, the applicant has engaged with Barnett's Quality Review Panel as part of the design process and that was during pre-app as well as officers pre-app as well. And the applicant also utilised the Quality Review Panel at the outset of the application to pick up on earlier comments from the Quality Review Panel and that's borne out in the design and how it's been developed. So as you can see here, the approach is, as I said in the introduction, it's two components predominantly, a shoulder block with ground plus mezzanine, 10 storeys rising up to ground plus mezzanine and 11 storeys rising up to a tower element adjacent to the station. Now the building adjacent to the station is developed as a landmark feature with a crown feature on the rooftop and this is, as you can see, the approach that they've taken here. And just in terms of how that's expressed in the elevations, this slide just shows how it's been articulated on the elevations and the modularity that's been sought to achieve to try and break down the scale and introduce visual interest to the building and create distinctive parts to the building. In terms of materiality, the tower element is a predominantly stone cast element with reveals and the shoulder element is predominantly brick built with some incidences of different materiality incorporated as well. I'm just moving to some elevations. This is how the approach is borne out in the elevations and the railway side elevation here as well and side elevations as well. And how the scheme is manifested in CGI is presented here on several slides. As you can see, the interest of the precast stone and the glazed brick on this central hinged element adding some interest and providing some relief. And just looking at how the building lands at ground level, there's an extensive landscaping scheme proposed at the front of the building and as you can see, there's some cutaways in the tower element as well to give the building a bit more interest from a vertical verticality. And again, some more slides here. And just picking up a render at night, this highlights the crowning feature of the development where some sensitive lighting is proposed to emphasise this element of the building. And again, just detailing of the crown. I think including on design, I think officers felt comfortable that the applicant has utilised the quality review panel and has developed the scheme in a way which is design led and follows the appropriate London plan D9 policy for tall buildings and the London and the local plans emerging policy and officers of the opinion that the design is of a standard that it's befitting for a building of this size and landmark intention. And just in terms of the ground floor, we can see that there's some commercial units accommodated. It's four in total. And these will serve to animate the locality and provide activation from day one when the scheme lands in a location which really doesn't have this kind of neighbourhood offer presently. And so small commercial sort of E-class units provide that optionality for the developer to provide some complementarity to the student use. And again, this is just a landscaping plan here to see. So in terms of the student accommodation, the applicant has prepared a student demand study by Knight Frank to examine the profile of students living close by and where they attend university and the types of accommodation they're living in. And some of the main takeaways from this study is that within a one and a half mile radius of the site, there's close to six and a half thousand students who live there, a portion of whom attend middle-sex university and others attending other universities. In terms of the supply and what kind of student accommodation supply there is at the present, the Knight Frank report concludes that there's only 413 bed spaces within that radius, which comprises only 6.4% of that six and a half thousand students. Some students are living with parents, but the rest are considered to be living in HMO private rented stock, up to 4,187 students. I think it's clear to see that providing purposeful student accommodation would provide a different option for those students and other students and provide some relief to the existing private housing stock and release our private housing stock for others who are in need or looking for homes. In terms of how the accommodation is made up, the applicants have been careful to follow the policy H15 of the London Plan and the requirements for student nominations. What this table shows is that 51% of the student rooms will be nominated to a higher education institution. This is a requirement of the London Plan and within that 51%, 35% of those student rooms will be affordable following the London Plan's definition of affordability, which is that the rental cost of those rooms will be equal to or below 55% of the maximum income for a new full-time student studying in London and living away from home and what they can receive from the government's maintenance loan. So 55% of that government's maintenance loan for living costs for the academic year. And this will be secured through part of the legal agreement, which the heads of terms are included in the introduction of the committee report. In terms of the composition of the rooms, this table at the top, and apologies if it's a bit small, just shows you the composition. There's 51.4% of the rooms are cluster rooms, which is essentially a flat share between four to eight student rooms sharing a private amenity and the remainder as either studios or accessible rooms. And accessible rooms meaning they're either adaptable and capable of being adapted to be fully accessible. And this is just a plan showing the typical layout. As you can see in the shoulder block accommodates the majority of these cluster rooms denoted by the light green. These have a private corridor and they go to, they're served by a kitchen living room and officers have sent to check these spaces with the council's own HMO standards and other student schemes and the size of the individual units and the shared amenity spaces are all comparable and exceeding the council's HMO standards. And as you can see, there's the wheelchair accessible rooms as well, wheelchair adaptable accessible rooms here located in close proximity to the cores. The majority of the studio rooms are located within the tower element and as you can see the wheelchair adaptable rooms towards the back there. The accommodation has been prepared in consultation with Homes for Students and the applicant has provided us with a student management plan reassuring that the accommodation is going to be managed in a proper way with good onsite facilities and in terms of the comfort levels for students the application is accompanied by microclimate studies in terms of daylight and sunlight which show positive conditions for students, wind studies showing the ground floor accommodation to be within the comfortable levels, the required comfort levels and also an overheating analysis which demonstrates that the scheme even when windows are closed, which they might need to be in some cases in order to achieve noise levels, the comfort levels can be achieved in terms of temperature. And just moving on to some of the viewpoint assessment which forms part of the environmental statement which goes with the application. There's several views and I've picked out a few for the presentation. There's a view from Edgeway Road, a view looking south on Garon Way and a view from the north on Garon Way as well. And this one from the platform on Brent Cross West Station looking back at the development. And one from further north on Rockwell Way. The applicants in their townscape visual impact assessment also included consideration of the locally important view from Golders Hill Park to Harrow-on-the-Hill and the diagram demonstrates that the site is not within the protected view cone and notwithstanding there are some views afforded of it from the park but these are not within the view cone. So in terms of key considerations and recommendations, the scheme will provide 844 PPSA beds which will contribute to housing delivery and releasing homes for families and other key workers in need of homes. There's an affordable proportion of homes in line with the London Plan requirements. There's on-site welfare facilities that have been proposed in conversation with TfL for bus drivers which has been a long-standing request from TfL and that's accommodated on the ground floor and it's for exclusive access to TfL bus drivers. As reported in the ES socio-economic chapters, there are considerable socio-economic benefits during the construction of the development and once operational there's jobs that are created through the operation of the PPSA itself and the ground floor commercial units and there is an estimated seal liability for the scheme based on index linked rates in the region of 8.2 million Barnett Council seal and 1.6 million Merrill seal, so considerable sums. Key environmental benefits, it's the optimisation of a brownfield site right next to Brent Cross West station, high quality station wayfinding, marker building, act as a catalyst for growth in the growth area and help achieve the councils and the boroughs objectives for growth in this key growth area. It achieves the required carbon reductions through a combination of on-site renewables and building efficiencies and through an offset contribution. It's targeting bream excellent for the ground floor commercial units, biodiversity net gain in adherence with the requirements and in excess of the requirements even and significant part of the trees and other elements such as cycle parking and sustainable transport given it's a car free development and a provision of suds on site such as rain gardens all falling within the ground floor landscaping scheme and the landscaping and amenity provisions within the development itself. Given the above and the recommendations and the review of the officers report itself, the application is recommended for approval subject to section 106 conditions and conditions and also subject to stage 2 Merrill referral and I'm happy to take any questions. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. We have one speaker, Percy Bolani, who's here on behalf of the applicant as the agent. You have three minutes and the button in the middle with the speaker icon, if you press that. Sorry. And then we'll give you a one minute warning. Nigel, can I request a 10 second tissue jab and can we talk and I can vote? Of course. Can we just pause for 30 seconds? Thank you for that. Thank you. So, as I said, you've got three minutes and we'll give you a warning one minute before the end and we'll start timing from when you start. Thank you. Excellent. Well, thank you and firstly, good evening councillors and a big thank you for your time this evening to consider our planning application. My name's Percy Bolani, I'm land director for Astur and we are a residential lead developer with a focus on mixed use developments in London. I'll be brief because the committee report and the presentation from Sam this evening, they're both excellent, they've covered most of the issues in a lot of detail. So Astur's aim is to improve the living experience for people who are renting in London across a range of living spaces including residential, co-living, hotel and also student accommodation. The reason why we're different is that we build out and then we retain a long-term interest in our developments. This means that we have a genuine desire to deliver exceptional buildings which positively contribute to the local area and economy. We first started looking at this site in early 2023 and it was clear to us quite early on there was a unique opportunity to deliver a landmark student scheme. The new Brentcross West station and then the excellent placemaking underway at Brentcross Town made a compelling opportunity for us, but really it was the new Sheffield Hallam campus that really gave us the confidence to move forward and acquire the site in October last year. Yn hynny, rydyn ni wedi gweithio'n ymwneud â'r bobl Barna, gyda gysgwyddiadau gysgwyddiadau sydd wedi'u cymryd yn y schema y byddwn ni'n meddwl yw gweithredu. Rydyn ni wedi cymryd gyda Aliza Morrison, ac roedden nhw'n gwybod y fform erbyn a'i ddemonstruoedd bod y site yn gallu cymryd unrhyw bwyd. Mae'r schema wedi cael ei gynllunio gan y Prif Weinidog, a'r GLA hefyd yn ymwneud â'r schema. Mae gennym Llywodraeth ym Mhobol o Sheffield Hallam, ac rydym yn ymwneud â'i gysgwyddiadau gyda nhw am ymwneud â gynllunio. Rydyn ni hefyd wedi cael ymwneud â strategaethau cymdeithasol cymdeithasol, gyda phobl cymdeithasol nesaf i'r schema. Rydyn ni hefyd wedi cymdeithasol gyda TfL a'r tîm Llywodraeth Cymdeithasol, ac mae hynny'n cael ymwneud â gysgwyddiadau cymdeithasol, ac hefyd wedi cael ymwneud â Network Rail a'i cymdeithasol. Mae'r progrif hwn yn cael ymwneud â gysgwyddiadau cymdeithasol, a gysgwyddiadau gysgwyddiadau cymdeithasol. Rydyn ni hefyd wedi cael ymwneud â phobl cyfwng am ymwneud â ddeillau gweithredig, ac rydw i'n gobeithio o'r ffrindiau yma, a'r ffyrdd cwrp, a byddwch yn ymgysgwyd â hynny.

Transcript
I'm Councillor, hello, we have come to order actually. Excuse me. Thank you. I'm Councillor Nigel Young, Chair of the Strategic Planning Committee. Thank you for attending the Planning Committee this evening. I will ask members of the committee to first introduce themselves, followed by the Planning Officers, the Legal Officer and Governance. So if we could start with Councillor Cornelius. Well, thank you for introducing me. I'm Richard Cornelius. Thank you. I'm Michael Maier. If you just pause for a second, Councillor Naranthira. I'm Councillor Nagas Naranthira, Colindale South Ward. Councillor Rishikesh Chakraborty, West Hendon Ward. Councillor Richard Barnes, Barnet Vale Ward. I'm Claire Farrion, Councillor Paisley. Councillor Phil Cohen, East Barnet Ward. And Councillor Gordon, could you introduce yourself? Councillor Gordon, Ezra Ward. Thank you, and then Officers that are present. I'm Susanne Young, this Legal Advisor to Committee. Fabian Godin, Director for Planning and Building Control. I'm Sam Gerstein, Principal Planner in the Barnet Planning Team. Peter Olsok, the Brent Cross Planning Manager within the Planning Team. Karina Dimitriou, Governance Officer. Thank you very much. So we ask that everyone remains seated throughout the meeting, unless you're called to the table to address the committee. Please note that meetings may be recorded and broadcast as allowed for in law or by the council. By attending either in person or online, you may be picked up on recordings. Council recordings are covered by our privacy notice, which can be found at barnet.gov.uk. For the application that we're hearing tonight, the planning officer will present the application. Each speaker, I think there's only one, will have three minutes to address the committee. The governance officer will inform you when there is one minute left. The committee will have the opportunity to ask questions of the speaker and the officers, and then following discussion, the committee will determine the application, and the chair will announce the committee's decision. When you come to speak, please, and for members of the committee, but you all know this, please press the middle speaker icon to turn on the mic and ensure that after you've finished speaking, you press the microphone off to ensure there's no feedback, and also so the system can pick up the person that is speaking. So we have agenda item number one in the minutes of the last meeting. Are we happy that I sign those as a true record of the meeting? Thank you. Absence of members. I have apologies from Councillor Greenspan, who's being substituted by Councillor Marr. Welcome, Councillor Marr. I don't have any declarations of members' interests, but if there are any, please let me know. Thank you. And also no dispensations granted by the monitoring officer to report. There is an addendum to the substantive item that we have tonight. Are we happy that we take that addendum? That's agreed, thank you. And so that moves us on to the substantive item for tonight, which is Unit 7, Staples, Coroner, Retail, Clerk. And we start with the planning officer. Thank you. Thank you, Chair. So an application has been submitted for demolition of existing buildings and structures and redevelopment of the site to provide a building with a height of up to 26 storeys plus ground and mezzanine level, reducing to part 10 and part 11 storeys plus ground and mezzanine level. This is to provide a purpose-built student accommodation scheme, predominantly, with some ancillary commercial uses on the ground floor. The scheme also accommodates amenities for students within the building and some external amenities as well. In terms of the addendum items, I'll just draw briefly attention to an email that was received from the London Healthy Development Unit just to confirm they had no further representations on the application and a further representation from TfL Engineering and Technical Insurance just concerning some additional specification elements to the on-site bus driver welfare facilities, which the applicant has responded to officers to confirm that the additional specification comments are minor in nature and can be progressed through the detailed discussions with TfL. The other item to mention in the addendum is the Barnett's Draft Local Plan Regulation 25. The Council has now received the Planning Inspector's Report on the Local Plan and the Inspector's Report concludes that the duty to co-operate has been met and subject to the recommended main modifications, the Barnett Local Plan is legally compliant, which means that the Local Plan can be afforded a significant weight in determination of planning applications. Now just moving to the site. The site is located in the Staples Corner Retail Park, which comprises a mixture of industrial bulky goods retail style uses. To the north you've got the North Circular Road and Staples Corner Roundabout and the M1 Slip Road onto the M1. To the south of the Staples Corner Retail Park you have the Consented Waste Transfer Station and further up beyond the Rail Freight Facility operated by DV Cargo and Cricklewood Centre further south. To the west you have the London Borough of Brent with the A5 comprising the borough boundary. This is strategic industrial land and is subject to master planning and design codes that London Borough of Brent have been producing. I'll move on to that in a moment. On the east hand side you have the Brent Cross Cricklewood Regeneration which is part of the opportunity area for Brent Cross Cricklewood. I'll just move on to that in a moment. Moving to the east of the site, it does comprise the Brent Cross Cricklewood Regeneration and this is a comprehensive regeneration of Brent Cross Cricklewood. The Cricklewood, the Clamon Industrial Estate on the southern part of the development and on the northern part the Brent Cross Shopping Centre and also the Brent Cross West Station redevelopment. The southern development is being delivered through a joint venture between London Borough of Barnet and Related Argent and comprises up to 6,700 homes, a new town centre, 3 million square foot of office space and supported by local highways, parks and other social community infrastructure works. This is just a view of the aerial view looking down towards the site with the site highlighted and showing the Brent Cross West Station also constructed and open since December last year and this provides services into London, apologies it's quite small to see but you can see the station highlighted there, services into London St Pancras and Luton Airport Parkway in the north. On the western side is the London Borough of Brent's design codes and London Borough of Brent's Strategic Industrial Land Staples Corner which has recently been developed through comprehensive design coding and master planning. You'll see on the text to the right hand side that London Borough of Brent received Cabinet approval for adoption earlier this week. Then moving to London Borough of Barnet Local Development Framework, the key policy for London Borough of Barnet is the policy GSS 03 which is the Growth Area Policy for the Staples Corner Retail Park which comprises the Brent Cross West Staples Corner Master Plan, Brent Cross West Staples Corner Growth Area, apologies. The policy designation sets expectations, apologies my mouse is not working. Apologies, I can't change slides. Thank you. The Growth Area designation is for upwards of 1,800 homes and a combination of users to support the Growth Area objectives for the Growth Area. Moving to other aspects of the Local Development Framework, this is an excerpt from the Tall Buildings Update which is part of the evidence base for the Local Plan and what it shows is several clusters of buildings of height located along the A5 corridor one of which is further in the Brent Cross Staples Corner area. I'm just highlighting here with my mouse here. Just to note that the Council's regeneration services did undertake some master planning and design work for the Staples Corner area within the Western Lands Growth Area and this is denoted by the orange circle here and this is really just some design and urban design master planning that the Council services commissioned to try and articulate how schemes might come forward and exploring layout and master plan principles and connections to the other emerging growth areas to the east and the west as well. This is just a slide showing some of the master planning, massing and principles that have been developed and that have just been developed alongside as part of the works. It's important to note that this is not a planning document, it's an aid to aid discussions with developers and to help articulate how linkages and designs may come forward in the Growth Area. I'm just moving to the site description. This is the site here right next to the Brent Cross West Station and you can see the existing building which is a brick built with a corrugated rooftop, approximately three storeys. I'm just moving to some other site photographs here. This is the front of the site, picking up local bus services. I've just included a slide showing some of the bus connections that are available from the site. The 316 connecting down the A5 towards Shepherd's Bush and White City. It's worth noting other routes nearby, the 189 on the other side of Brent Cross West Station takes you to Marble Arch and other bus routes nearby the 232 northeast towards Arnall's Grove and Wood Green. The 182 through to Wembley and Harrow Wheel pass the University of Westminster and the 326 from the shopping centre itself, which is a short bus journey to Middlesex University campus as well. It's worth noting. And just some other photos of the site here, looking north up Heron Way and then looking south and at the back of the sites. And just a collection of photos of the site environs with Brent Cross West Station entrance there on the top left of the screen. So just moving to the design, the applicant has engaged with Barnett's Quality Review Panel as part of the design process and that was during pre-app as well as officers pre-app as well. And the applicant also utilised the Quality Review Panel at the outset of the application to pick up on earlier comments from the Quality Review Panel and that's borne out in the design and how it's been developed. So as you can see here, the approach is, as I said in the introduction, it's two components predominantly, a shoulder block with ground plus mezzanine, 10 storeys rising up to ground plus mezzanine and 11 storeys rising up to a tower element adjacent to the station. Now the building adjacent to the station is developed as a landmark feature with a crown feature on the rooftop and this is, as you can see, the approach that they've taken here. And just in terms of how that's expressed in the elevations, this slide just shows how it's been articulated on the elevations and the modularity that's been sought to achieve to try and break down the scale and introduce visual interest to the building and create distinctive parts to the building. In terms of materiality, the tower element is a predominantly stone cast element with reveals and the shoulder element is predominantly brick built with some incidences of different materiality incorporated as well. I'm just moving to some elevations. This is how the approach is borne out in the elevations and the railway side elevation here as well and side elevations as well. And how the scheme is manifested in CGI is presented here on several slides. As you can see, the interest of the precast stone and the glazed brick on this central hinged element adding some interest and providing some relief. And just looking at how the building lands at ground level, there's an extensive landscaping scheme proposed at the front of the building and as you can see, there's some cutaways in the tower element as well to give the building a bit more interest from a vertical verticality. And again, some more slides here. And just picking up a render at night, this highlights the crowning feature of the development where some sensitive lighting is proposed to emphasise this element of the building. And again, just detailing of the crown. I think including on design, I think officers felt comfortable that the applicant has utilised the quality review panel and has developed the scheme in a way which is design led and follows the appropriate London plan D9 policy for tall buildings and the London and the local plans emerging policy and officers of the opinion that the design is of a standard that it's befitting for a building of this size and landmark intention. And just in terms of the ground floor, we can see that there's some commercial units accommodated. It's four in total. And these will serve to animate the locality and provide activation from day one when the scheme lands in a location which really doesn't have this kind of neighbourhood offer presently. And so small commercial sort of E-class units provide that optionality for the developer to provide some complementarity to the student use. And again, this is just a landscaping plan here to see. So in terms of the student accommodation, the applicant has prepared a student demand study by Knight Frank to examine the profile of students living close by and where they attend university and the types of accommodation they're living in. And some of the main takeaways from this study is that within a one and a half mile radius of the site, there's close to six and a half thousand students who live there, a portion of whom attend middle-sex university and others attending other universities. In terms of the supply and what kind of student accommodation supply there is at the present, the Knight Frank report concludes that there's only 413 bed spaces within that radius, which comprises only 6.4% of that six and a half thousand students. Some students are living with parents, but the rest are considered to be living in HMO private rented stock, up to 4,187 students. I think it's clear to see that providing purposeful student accommodation would provide a different option for those students and other students and provide some relief to the existing private housing stock and release our private housing stock for others who are in need or looking for homes. In terms of how the accommodation is made up, the applicants have been careful to follow the policy H15 of the London Plan and the requirements for student nominations. What this table shows is that 51% of the student rooms will be nominated to a higher education institution. This is a requirement of the London Plan and within that 51%, 35% of those student rooms will be affordable following the London Plan's definition of affordability, which is that the rental cost of those rooms will be equal to or below 55% of the maximum income for a new full-time student studying in London and living away from home and what they can receive from the government's maintenance loan. So 55% of that government's maintenance loan for living costs for the academic year. And this will be secured through part of the legal agreement, which the heads of terms are included in the introduction of the committee report. In terms of the composition of the rooms, this table at the top, and apologies if it's a bit small, just shows you the composition. There's 51.4% of the rooms are cluster rooms, which is essentially a flat share between four to eight student rooms sharing a private amenity and the remainder as either studios or accessible rooms. And accessible rooms meaning they're either adaptable and capable of being adapted to be fully accessible. And this is just a plan showing the typical layout. As you can see in the shoulder block accommodates the majority of these cluster rooms denoted by the light green. These have a private corridor and they go to, they're served by a kitchen living room and officers have sent to check these spaces with the council's own HMO standards and other student schemes and the size of the individual units and the shared amenity spaces are all comparable and exceeding the council's HMO standards. And as you can see, there's the wheelchair accessible rooms as well, wheelchair adaptable accessible rooms here located in close proximity to the cores. The majority of the studio rooms are located within the tower element and as you can see the wheelchair adaptable rooms towards the back there. The accommodation has been prepared in consultation with Homes for Students and the applicant has provided us with a student management plan reassuring that the accommodation is going to be managed in a proper way with good onsite facilities and in terms of the comfort levels for students the application is accompanied by microclimate studies in terms of daylight and sunlight which show positive conditions for students, wind studies showing the ground floor accommodation to be within the comfortable levels, the required comfort levels and also an overheating analysis which demonstrates that the scheme even when windows are closed, which they might need to be in some cases in order to achieve noise levels, the comfort levels can be achieved in terms of temperature. And just moving on to some of the viewpoint assessment which forms part of the environmental statement which goes with the application. There's several views and I've picked out a few for the presentation. There's a view from Edgeway Road, a view looking south on Garon Way and a view from the north on Garon Way as well. And this one from the platform on Brent Cross West Station looking back at the development. And one from further north on Rockwell Way. The applicants in their townscape visual impact assessment also included consideration of the locally important view from Golders Hill Park to Harrow-on-the-Hill and the diagram demonstrates that the site is not within the protected view cone and notwithstanding there are some views afforded of it from the park but these are not within the view cone. So in terms of key considerations and recommendations, the scheme will provide 844 PPSA beds which will contribute to housing delivery and releasing homes for families and other key workers in need of homes. There's an affordable proportion of homes in line with the London Plan requirements. There's on-site welfare facilities that have been proposed in conversation with TfL for bus drivers which has been a long-standing request from TfL and that's accommodated on the ground floor and it's for exclusive access to TfL bus drivers. As reported in the ES socio-economic chapters, there are considerable socio-economic benefits during the construction of the development and once operational there's jobs that are created through the operation of the PPSA itself and the ground floor commercial units and there is an estimated seal liability for the scheme based on index linked rates in the region of 8.2 million Barnett Council seal and 1.6 million Merrill seal, so considerable sums. Key environmental benefits, it's the optimisation of a brownfield site right next to Brent Cross West station, high quality station wayfinding, marker building, act as a catalyst for growth in the growth area and help achieve the councils and the boroughs objectives for growth in this key growth area. It achieves the required carbon reductions through a combination of on-site renewables and building efficiencies and through an offset contribution. It's targeting bream excellent for the ground floor commercial units, biodiversity net gain in adherence with the requirements and in excess of the requirements even and significant part of the trees and other elements such as cycle parking and sustainable transport given it's a car free development and a provision of suds on site such as rain gardens all falling within the ground floor landscaping scheme and the landscaping and amenity provisions within the development itself. Given the above and the recommendations and the review of the officers report itself, the application is recommended for approval subject to section 106 conditions and conditions and also subject to stage 2 Merrill referral and I'm happy to take any questions. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. We have one speaker, Percy Bolani, who's here on behalf of the applicant as the agent. You have three minutes and the button in the middle with the speaker icon, if you press that. Sorry. And then we'll give you a one minute warning. Nigel, can I request a 10 second tissue jab and can we talk and I can vote? Of course. Can we just pause for 30 seconds? Thank you for that. Thank you. So, as I said, you've got three minutes and we'll give you a warning one minute before the end and we'll start timing from when you start. Thank you. Excellent. Well, thank you and firstly, good evening councillors and a big thank you for your time this evening to consider our planning application. My name's Percy Bolani, I'm land director for Astur and we are a residential lead developer with a focus on mixed use developments in London. I'll be brief because the committee report and the presentation from Sam this evening, they're both excellent, they've covered most of the issues in a lot of detail. So Astur's aim is to improve the living experience for people who are renting in London across a range of living spaces including residential, co-living, hotel and also student accommodation. The reason why we're different is that we build out and then we retain a long-term interest in our developments. This means that we have a genuine desire to deliver exceptional buildings which positively contribute to the local area and economy. We first started looking at this site in early 2023 and it was clear to us quite early on there was a unique opportunity to deliver a landmark student scheme. The new Brentcross West station and then the excellent placemaking underway at Brentcross Town made a compelling opportunity for us, but really it was the new Sheffield Hallam campus that really gave us the confidence to move forward and acquire the site in October last year. Yn hynny, rydyn ni wedi gweithio'n ymwneud â'r bobl Barna, gyda gysgwyddiadau gysgwyddiadau sydd wedi'u cymryd yn y schema y byddwn ni'n meddwl yw gweithredu. Rydyn ni wedi cymryd gyda Aliza Morrison, ac roedden nhw'n gwybod y fform erbyn a'i ddemonstruoedd bod y site yn gallu cymryd unrhyw bwyd. Mae'r schema wedi cael ei gynllunio gan y Prif Weinidog, a'r GLA hefyd yn ymwneud â'r schema. Mae gennym Llywodraeth ym Mhobol o Sheffield Hallam, ac rydym yn ymwneud â'i gysgwyddiadau gyda nhw am ymwneud â gynllunio. Rydyn ni hefyd wedi cael ymwneud â strategaethau cymdeithasol cymdeithasol, gyda phobl cymdeithasol nesaf i'r schema. Rydyn ni hefyd wedi cymdeithasol gyda TfL a'r tîm Llywodraeth Cymdeithasol, ac mae hynny'n cael ymwneud â gysgwyddiadau cymdeithasol, ac hefyd wedi cael ymwneud â Network Rail a'i cymdeithasol. Mae'r progrif hwn yn cael ymwneud â gysgwyddiadau cymdeithasol a gysgwyddiadau cymdeithasol. Rydyn ni hefyd wedi cael ymwneud â gysgwyddiadau cymdeithasol am ymwneud â gysgwyddiadau cymdeithasol, ac rwy'n meddwl o ran y ffrindiau ydych chi wedi gweld ymlaen i'r cwbl cymdeithasol, a byddwch chi'n deall â hynny. Rydyn ni'n credu bod hynny'n ymwneud â gysgwyddiadau cymdeithasol yn y peth ymwneud â gysgwyddiadau cymdeithasol.

I'm Councillor, hello, we have come to order actually. Excuse me. Thank you. I'm Councillor Nigel Young, Chair of the Strategic Planning Committee. Thank you for attending the Planning Committee this evening. I will ask members of the committee to first introduce themselves, followed by the Planning Officers, the Legal Officer and Governance. So if we could start with Councillor Cornelius. Well, thank you for introducing me. I'm Richard Cornelius. Thank you. I'm Michael Maier. If you just pause for a second, Councillor Naranthira. I'm Councillor Nagas Naranthira, Colindale South Ward. Councillor Rishikesh Chakraborty, West Hendon Ward. Councillor Richard Barnes, Barnet Vale Ward. I'm Claire Farrion, Councillor Paisley. Councillor Phil Cohen, East Barnet Ward. And Councillor Gordon, could you introduce yourself? Councillor Gordon, Ezra Ward. Thank you, and then Officers that are present. I'm Susanne Young, this Legal Advisor to Committee. Fabian Godin, Director for Planning and Building Control. I'm Sam Gerstein, Principal Planner in the Barnet Planning Team. Peter Olsok, the Brent Cross Planning Manager within the Planning Team. Karina Dimitriou, Governance Officer. Thank you very much. So we ask that everyone remains seated throughout the meeting, unless you're called to the table to address the committee. Please note that meetings may be recorded and broadcast as allowed for in law or by the council. By attending either in person or online, you may be picked up on recordings. Council recordings are covered by our privacy notice, which can be found at barnet.gov.uk. For the application that we're hearing tonight, the planning officer will present the application. Each speaker, I think there's only one, will have three minutes to address the committee. The governance officer will inform you when there is one minute left. The committee will have the opportunity to ask questions of the speaker and the officers, and then following discussion, the committee will determine the application, and the chair will announce the committee's decision. When you come to speak, please, and for members of the committee, but you all know this, please press the middle speaker icon to turn on the mic and ensure that after you've finished speaking, you press the microphone off to ensure there's no feedback, and also so the system can pick up the person that is speaking. So we have agenda item number one in the minutes of the last meeting. Are we happy that I sign those as a true record of the meeting? Thank you. Absence of members. I have apologies from Councillor Greenspan, who's being substituted by Councillor Marr. Welcome, Councillor Marr. I don't have any declarations of members' interests, but if there are any, please let me know. Thank you. And also no dispensations granted by the monitoring officer to report. There is an addendum to the substantive item that we have tonight. Are we happy that we take that addendum? That's agreed, thank you. And so that moves us on to the substantive item for tonight, which is Unit 7, Staples, Coroner, Retail, Clerk. And we start with the planning officer. Thank you. Thank you, Chair. So an application has been submitted for demolition of existing buildings and structures and redevelopment of the site to provide a building with a height of up to 26 storeys plus ground and mezzanine level, reducing to part 10 and part 11 storeys plus ground and mezzanine level. This is to provide a purpose-built student accommodation scheme, predominantly, with some ancillary commercial uses on the ground floor. The scheme also accommodates amenities for students within the building and some external amenities as well. In terms of the addendum items, I'll just draw briefly attention to an email that was received from the London Healthy Development Unit just to confirm they had no further representations on the application and a further representation from TfL Engineering and Technical Insurance just concerning some additional specification elements to the on-site bus driver welfare facilities, which the applicant has responded to officers to confirm that the additional specification comments are minor in nature and can be progressed through the detailed discussions with TfL. The other item to mention in the addendum is the Barnett's Draft Local Plan Regulation 25. The Council has now received the Planning Inspector's Report on the Local Plan and the Inspector's Report concludes that the duty to co-operate has been met and subject to the recommended main modifications, the Barnett Local Plan is legally compliant, which means that the Local Plan can be afforded a significant weight in determination of planning applications. Now just moving to the site. The site is located in the Staples Corner Retail Park, which comprises a mixture of industrial bulky goods retail style uses. To the north you've got the North Circular Road and Staples Corner Roundabout and the M1 Slip Road onto the M1. To the south of the Staples Corner Retail Park you have the Consented Waste Transfer Station and further up beyond the Rail Freight Facility operated by DV Cargo and Cricklewood Centre further south. To the west you have the London Borough of Brent with the A5 comprising the borough boundary. This is strategic industrial land and is subject to master planning and design codes that London Borough of Brent have been producing. I'll move on to that in a moment. On the east hand side you have the Brent Cross Cricklewood Regeneration which is part of the opportunity area for Brent Cross Cricklewood. I'll just move on to that in a moment. Moving to the east of the site, it does comprise the Brent Cross Cricklewood Regeneration and this is a comprehensive regeneration of Brent Cross Cricklewood. The Cricklewood, the Clamon Industrial Estate on the southern part of the development and on the northern part the Brent Cross Shopping Centre and also the Brent Cross West Station redevelopment. The southern development is being delivered through a joint venture between London Borough of Barnet and Related Argent and comprises up to 6,700 homes, a new town centre, 3 million square foot of office space and supported by local highways, parks and other social community infrastructure works. This is just a view of the aerial view looking down towards the site with the site highlighted and showing the Brent Cross West Station also constructed and open since December last year and this provides services into London, apologies it's quite small to see but you can see the station highlighted there, services into London St Pancras and Luton Airport Parkway in the north. On the western side is the London Borough of Brent's design codes and London Borough of Brent's Strategic Industrial Land Staples Corner which has recently been developed through comprehensive design coding and master planning. You'll see on the text to the right hand side that London Borough of Brent received Cabinet approval for adoption earlier this week. Then moving to London Borough of Barnet Local Development Framework, the key policy for London Borough of Barnet is the policy GSS 03 which is the Growth Area Policy for the Staples Corner Retail Park which comprises the Brent Cross West Staples Corner Master Plan, Brent Cross West Staples Corner Growth Area, apologies. The policy designation sets expectations, apologies my mouse is not working. Apologies, I can't change slides. Thank you. The Growth Area designation is for upwards of 1,800 homes and a combination of users to support the Growth Area objectives for the Growth Area. Moving to other aspects of the Local Development Framework, this is an excerpt from the Tall Buildings Update which is part of the evidence base for the Local Plan and what it shows is several clusters of buildings of height located along the A5 corridor one of which is further in the Brent Cross Staples Corner area. I'm just highlighting here with my mouse here. Just to note that the Council's regeneration services did undertake some master planning and design work for the Staples Corner area within the Western Lands Growth Area and this is denoted by the orange circle here and this is really just some design and urban design master planning that the Council services commissioned to try and articulate how schemes might come forward and exploring layout and master plan principles and connections to the other emerging growth areas to the east and the west as well. This is just a slide showing some of the master planning, massing and principles that have been developed and that have just been developed alongside as part of the works. It's important to note that this is not a planning document, it's an aid to aid discussions with developers and to help articulate how linkages and designs may come forward in the Growth Area. I'm just moving to the site description. This is the site here right next to the Brent Cross West Station and you can see the existing building which is a brick built with a corrugated rooftop, approximately three storeys. I'm just moving to some other site photographs here. This is the front of the site, picking up local bus services. I've just included a slide showing some of the bus connections that are available from the site. The 316 connecting down the A5 towards Shepherd's Bush and White City. It's worth noting other routes nearby, the 189 on the other side of Brent Cross West Station takes you to Marble Arch and other bus routes nearby the 232 northeast towards Arnall's Grove and Wood Green. The 182 through to Wembley and Harrow Wheel pass the University of Westminster and the 326 from the shopping centre itself, which is a short bus journey to Middlesex University campus as well. It's worth noting. And just some other photos of the site here, looking north up Heron Way and then looking south and at the back of the sites. And just a collection of photos of the site environs with Brent Cross West Station entrance there on the top left of the screen. So just moving to the design, the applicant has engaged with Barnett's Quality Review Panel as part of the design process and that was during pre-app as well as officers pre-app as well. And the applicant also utilised the Quality Review Panel at the outset of the application to pick up on earlier comments from the Quality Review Panel and that's borne out in the design and how it's been developed. So as you can see here, the approach is, as I said in the introduction, it's two components predominantly, a shoulder block with ground plus mezzanine, 10 storeys rising up to ground plus mezzanine and 11 storeys rising up to a tower element adjacent to the station. Now the building adjacent to the station is developed as a landmark feature with a crown feature on the rooftop and this is, as you can see, the approach that they've taken here. And just in terms of how that's expressed in the elevations, this slide just shows how it's been articulated on the elevations and the modularity that's been sought to achieve to try and break down the scale and introduce visual interest to the building and create distinctive parts to the building. In terms of materiality, the tower element is a predominantly stone cast element with reveals and the shoulder element is predominantly brick built with some incidences of different materiality incorporated as well. I'm just moving to some elevations. This is how the approach is borne out in the elevations and the railway side elevation here as well and side elevations as well. And how the scheme is manifested in CGI is presented here on several slides. As you can see, the interest of the precast stone and the glazed brick on this central hinged element adding some interest and providing some relief. And just looking at how the building lands at ground level, there's an extensive landscaping scheme proposed at the front of the building and as you can see, there's some cutaways in the tower element as well to give the building a bit more interest from a vertical verticality. And again, some more slides here. And just picking up a render at night, this highlights the crowning feature of the development where some sensitive lighting is proposed to emphasise this element of the building. And again, just detailing of the crown. I think including on design, I think officers felt comfortable that the applicant has utilised the quality review panel and has developed the scheme in a way which is design led and follows the appropriate London plan D9 policy for tall buildings and the London and the local plans emerging policy and officers of the opinion that the design is of a standard that it's befitting for a building of this size and landmark intention. And just in terms of the ground floor, we can see that there's some commercial units accommodated. It's four in total. And these will serve to animate the locality and provide activation from day one when the scheme lands in a location which really doesn't have this kind of neighbourhood offer presently. And so small commercial sort of E-class units provide that optionality for the developer to provide some complementarity to the student use. And again, this is just a landscaping plan here to see. So in terms of the student accommodation, the applicant has prepared a student demand study by Knight Frank to examine the profile of students living close by and where they attend university and the types of accommodation they're living in. And some of the main takeaways from this study is that within a one and a half mile radius of the site, there's close to six and a half thousand students who live there, a portion of whom attend middle-sex university and others attending other universities. In terms of the supply and what kind of student accommodation supply there is at the present, the Knight Frank report concludes that there's only 413 bed spaces within that radius, which comprises only 6.4% of that six and a half thousand students. Some students are living with parents, but the rest are considered to be living in HMO private rented stock, up to 4,187 students. I think it's clear to see that providing purposeful student accommodation would provide a different option for those students and other students and provide some relief to the existing private housing stock and release our private housing stock for others who are in need or looking for homes. In terms of how the accommodation is made up, the applicants have been careful to follow the policy H15 of the London Plan and the requirements for student nominations. What this table shows is that 51% of the student rooms will be nominated to a higher education institution. This is a requirement of the London Plan and within that 51%, 35% of those student rooms will be affordable following the London Plan's definition of affordability, which is that the rental cost of those rooms will be equal to or below 55% of the maximum income for a new full-time student studying in London and living away from home and what they can receive from the government's maintenance loan. So 55% of that government's maintenance loan for living costs for the academic year. And this will be secured through part of the legal agreement, which the heads of terms are included in the introduction of the committee report. In terms of the composition of the rooms, this table at the top, and apologies if it's a bit small, just shows you the composition. There's 51.4% of the rooms are cluster rooms, which is essentially a flat share between four to eight student rooms sharing a private amenity and the remainder as either studios or accessible rooms. And accessible rooms meaning they're either adaptable and capable of being adapted to be fully accessible. And this is just a plan showing the typical layout. As you can see in the shoulder block accommodates the majority of these cluster rooms denoted by the light green. These have a private corridor and they go to, they're served by a kitchen living room and officers have sent to check these spaces with the council's own HMO standards and other student schemes and the size of the individual units and the shared amenity spaces are all comparable and exceeding the council's HMO standards. And as you can see, there's the wheelchair accessible rooms as well, wheelchair adaptable accessible rooms here located in close proximity to the cores. The majority of the studio rooms are located within the tower element and as you can see the wheelchair adaptable rooms towards the back there. The accommodation has been prepared in consultation with Homes for Students and the applicant has provided us with a student management plan reassuring that the accommodation is going to be managed in a proper way with good onsite facilities and in terms of the comfort levels for students the application is accompanied by microclimate studies in terms of daylight and sunlight which show positive conditions for students, wind studies showing the ground floor accommodation to be within the comfortable levels, the required comfort levels and also an overheating analysis which demonstrates that the scheme even when windows are closed, which they might need to be in some cases in order to achieve noise levels, the comfort levels can be achieved in terms of temperature. And just moving on to some of the viewpoint assessment which forms part of the environmental statement which goes with the application. There's several views and I've picked out a few for the presentation. There's a view from Edgeway Road, a view looking south on Garon Way and a view from the north on Garon Way as well. And this one from the platform on Brent Cross West Station looking back at the development. And one from further north on Rockwell Way. The applicants in their townscape visual impact assessment also included consideration of the locally important view from Golders Hill Park to Harrow-on-the-Hill and the diagram demonstrates that the site is not within the protected view cone and notwithstanding there are some views afforded of it from the park but these are not within the view cone. So in terms of key considerations and recommendations, the scheme will provide 844 PPSA beds which will contribute to housing delivery and releasing homes for families and other key workers in need of homes. There's an affordable proportion of homes in line with the London Plan requirements. There's on-site welfare facilities that have been proposed in conversation with TfL for bus drivers which has been a long-standing request from TfL and that's accommodated on the ground floor and it's for exclusive access to TfL bus drivers. As reported in the ES socio-economic chapters, there are considerable socio-economic benefits during the construction of the development and once operational there's jobs that are created through the operation of the PPSA itself and the ground floor commercial units and there is an estimated seal liability for the scheme based on index linked rates in the region of 8.2 million Barnett Council seal and 1.6 million Merrill seal, so considerable sums. Key environmental benefits, it's the optimisation of a brownfield site right next to Brent Cross West station, high quality station wayfinding, marker building, act as a catalyst for growth in the growth area and help achieve the councils and the boroughs objectives for growth in this key growth area. It achieves the required carbon reductions through a combination of on-site renewables and building efficiencies and through an offset contribution. It's targeting bream excellent for the ground floor commercial units, biodiversity net gain in adherence with the requirements and in excess of the requirements even and significant part of the trees and other elements such as cycle parking and sustainable transport given it's a car free development and a provision of suds on site such as rain gardens all falling within the ground floor landscaping scheme and the landscaping and amenity provisions within the development itself. Given the above and the recommendations and the review of the officers report itself, the application is recommended for approval subject to section 106 conditions and conditions and also subject to stage 2 Merrill referral and I'm happy to take any questions. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. We have one speaker, Percy Bolani, who's here on behalf of the applicant as the agent. You have three minutes and the button in the middle with the speaker icon, if you press that. Sorry. And then we'll give you a one minute warning. Nigel, can I request a 10 second tissue jab and can we talk and I can vote? Of course. Can we just pause for 30 seconds? Thank you for that. Thank you. So, as I said, you've got three minutes and we'll give you a warning one minute before the end and we'll start timing from when you start. Thank you. Excellent. Well, thank you and firstly, good evening councillors and a big thank you for your time this evening to consider our planning application. My name's Percy Bolani, I'm land director for Astur and we are a residential lead developer with a focus on mixed use developments in London. I'll be brief because the committee report and the presentation from Sam this evening, they're both excellent, they've covered most of the issues in a lot of detail. So Astur's aim is to improve the living experience for people who are renting in London across a range of living spaces including residential, co-living, hotel and also student accommodation. The reason why we're different is that we build out and then we retain a long-term interest in our developments. This means that we have a genuine desire to deliver exceptional buildings which positively contribute to the local area and economy. We first started looking at this site in early 2023 and it was clear to us quite early on there was a unique opportunity to deliver a landmark student scheme. The new Brentcross West station and then the excellent placemaking underway at Brentcross Town made a compelling opportunity for us, but really it was the new Sheffield Hallam campus that really gave us the confidence to move forward and acquire the site in October last year. Yn hynny, rydyn ni wedi gweithio'n ymwneud â'r bobl Barna, gyda gysgwyddiadau gysgwyddiadau sydd wedi'u cymryd yn y schema y byddwn ni'n meddwl yw gweithredu. Rydyn ni wedi cymryd gyda Aliza Morrison, ac roedden nhw'n gwybod y fform erbyn a'i ddemonstruoedd bod y site yn gallu cymryd unrhyw bwyd. Mae'r schema wedi cael ei gynllunio gan y Prif Weinidog, a'r GLA hefyd yn ymwneud â'r schema. Mae gennym Llywodraeth ym Mhobol o Sheffield Hallam, ac rydym yn ymwneud â'i gysgwyddiadau gyda nhw am ymwneud â gynllunio. Rydyn ni hefyd wedi cael ymwneud â strategaethau cymdeithasol cymdeithasol, gyda phobl cymdeithasol nesaf i'r schema. Rydyn ni hefyd wedi cymdeithasol gyda TfL a'r tîm Llywodraeth Cymdeithasol, ac mae hynny'n cael ymwneud â gysgwyddiadau cymdeithasol, ac hefyd wedi cael ymwneud â Network Rail a'i cymdeithasol. Mae'r progrif hwn yn cael eu gwneud yn fawr o ran ymwneud â'r gysgwyddiadau cymdeithasol. Rydyn ni hefyd wedi cael ymwneud â'r gysgwyddiadau cymdeithasol o gwaith gweithredu, ac rwy'n hoffi o'r ffyniadau yma a'r ffyniadau QRP y byddwch chi'n deall. Felly, yn y ffyniad, rydyn ni'n credu bod y gysgwyddiad hwn yn y peth yng nghymdeithasol, yn y peth yng nghymdeithasol.

I'm Councillor, hello, we have come to order actually. Excuse me. Thank you. I'm Councillor Nigel Young, Chair of the Strategic Planning Committee. Thank you for attending the Planning Committee this evening. I will ask members of the committee to first introduce themselves, followed by the Planning Officers, the Legal Officer and Governance. So if we could start with Councillor Cornelius. Well, thank you for introducing me. I'm Richard Cornelius. Thank you. I'm Michael Maier. If you just pause for a second, Councillor Naranthira. I'm Councillor Nagas Naranthira, Colindale South Ward. Councillor Rishikesh Chakraborty, West Hendon Ward. Councillor Richard Barnes, Barnet Vale Ward. I'm Claire Farrion, Councillor Paisley. Councillor Phil Cohen, East Barnet Ward. And Councillor Gordon, could you introduce yourself? Councillor Gordon, Ezra Ward. Thank you, and then Officers that are present. I'm Susanne Young, this Legal Advisor to Committee. Fabian Godin, Director for Planning and Building Control. I'm Sam Gerstein, Principal Planner in the Barnet Planning Team. Peter Olsok, the Brent Cross Planning Manager within the Planning Team. Karina Dimitriou, Governance Officer. Thank you very much. So we ask that everyone remains seated throughout the meeting, unless you're called to the table to address the committee. Please note that meetings may be recorded and broadcast as allowed for in law or by the council. By attending either in person or online, you may be picked up on recordings. Council recordings are covered by our privacy notice, which can be found at barnet.gov.uk. For the application that we're hearing tonight, the planning officer will present the application. Each speaker, I think there's only one, will have three minutes to address the committee. The governance officer will inform you when there is one minute left. The committee will have the opportunity to ask questions of the speaker and the officers, and then following discussion, the committee will determine the application, and the chair will announce the committee's decision. When you come to speak, please, and for members of the committee, but you all know this, please press the middle speaker icon to turn on the mic and ensure that after you've finished speaking, you press the microphone off to ensure there's no feedback, and also so the system can pick up the person that is speaking. So we have agenda item number one in the minutes of the last meeting. Are we happy that I sign those as a true record of the meeting? Thank you. Absence of members. I have apologies from Councillor Greenspan, who's being substituted by Councillor Marr. Welcome, Councillor Marr. I don't have any declarations of members' interests, but if there are any, please let me know. Thank you. And also no dispensations granted by the monitoring officer to report. There is an addendum to the substantive item that we have tonight. Are we happy that we take that addendum? That's agreed, thank you. And so that moves us on to the substantive item for tonight, which is Unit 7, Staples, Coroner, Retail, Clerk. And we start with the planning officer. Thank you. Thank you, Chair. So an application has been submitted for demolition of existing buildings and structures and redevelopment of the site to provide a building with a height of up to 26 storeys plus ground and mezzanine level, reducing to part 10 and part 11 storeys plus ground and mezzanine level. This is to provide a purpose-built student accommodation scheme, predominantly, with some ancillary commercial uses on the ground floor. The scheme also accommodates amenities for students within the building and some external amenities as well. In terms of the addendum items, I'll just draw briefly attention to an email that was received from the London Healthy Development Unit just to confirm they had no further representations on the application and a further representation from TfL Engineering and Technical Insurance just concerning some additional specification elements to the on-site bus driver welfare facilities, which the applicant has responded to officers to confirm that the additional specification comments are minor in nature and can be progressed through the detailed discussions with TfL. The other item to mention in the addendum is the Barnett's Draft Local Plan Regulation 25. The Council has now received the Planning Inspector's Report on the Local Plan and the Inspector's Report concludes that the duty to co-operate has been met and subject to the recommended main modifications, the Barnett Local Plan is legally compliant, which means that the Local Plan can be afforded a significant weight in determination of planning applications. Now just moving to the site. The site is located in the Staples Corner Retail Park, which comprises a mixture of industrial bulky goods retail style uses. To the north you've got the North Circular Road and Staples Corner Roundabout and the M1 Slip Road onto the M1. To the south of the Staples Corner Retail Park you have the Consented Waste Transfer Station and further up beyond the Rail Freight Facility operated by DV Cargo and Cricklewood Centre further south. To the west you have the London Borough of Brent with the A5 comprising the borough boundary. This is strategic industrial land and is subject to master planning and design codes that London Borough of Brent have been producing. I'll move on to that in a moment. On the east hand side you have the Brent Cross Cricklewood Regeneration which is part of the opportunity area for Brent Cross Cricklewood. I'll just move on to that in a moment. Moving to the east of the site, it does comprise the Brent Cross Cricklewood Regeneration and this is a comprehensive regeneration of Brent Cross Cricklewood. The Cricklewood, the Clamon Industrial Estate on the southern part of the development and on the northern part the Brent Cross Shopping Centre and also the Brent Cross West Station redevelopment. The southern development is being delivered through a joint venture between London Borough of Barnet and Related Argent and comprises up to 6,700 homes, a new town centre, 3 million square foot of office space and supported by local highways, parks and other social community infrastructure works. This is just a view of the aerial view looking down towards the site with the site highlighted and showing the Brent Cross West Station also constructed and open since December last year and this provides services into London, apologies it's quite small to see but you can see the station highlighted there, services into London St Pancras and Luton Airport Parkway in the north. On the western side is the London Borough of Brent's design codes and London Borough of Brent's Strategic Industrial Land Staples Corner which has recently been developed through comprehensive design coding and master planning. You'll see on the text to the right hand side that London Borough of Brent received Cabinet approval for adoption earlier this week. Then moving to London Borough of Barnet Local Development Framework, the key policy for London Borough of Barnet is the policy GSS 03 which is the Growth Area Policy for the Staples Corner Retail Park which comprises the Brent Cross West Staples Corner Master Plan, Brent Cross West Staples Corner Growth Area, apologies. The policy designation sets expectations, apologies my mouse is not working. Apologies, I can't change slides. Thank you. The Growth Area designation is for upwards of 1,800 homes and a combination of users to support the Growth Area objectives for the Growth Area. Moving to other aspects of the Local Development Framework, this is an excerpt from the Tall Buildings Update which is part of the evidence base for the Local Plan and what it shows is several clusters of buildings of height located along the A5 corridor one of which is further in the Brent Cross Staples Corner area. I'm just highlighting here with my mouse here. Just to note that the Council's regeneration services did undertake some master planning and design work for the Staples Corner area within the Western Lands Growth Area and this is denoted by the orange circle here and this is really just some design and urban design master planning that the Council services commissioned to try and articulate how schemes might come forward and exploring layout and master plan principles and connections to the other emerging growth areas to the east and the west as well. This is just a slide showing some of the master planning, massing and principles that have been developed and that have just been developed alongside as part of the works. It's important to note that this is not a planning document, it's an aid to aid discussions with developers and to help articulate how linkages and designs may come forward in the Growth Area. I'm just moving to the site description. This is the site here right next to the Brent Cross West Station and you can see the existing building which is a brick built with a corrugated rooftop, approximately three storeys. I'm just moving to some other site photographs here. This is the front of the site, picking up local bus services. I've just included a slide showing some of the bus connections that are available from the site. The 316 connecting down the A5 towards Shepherd's Bush and White City. It's worth noting other routes nearby, the 189 on the other side of Brent Cross West Station takes you to Marble Arch and other bus routes nearby the 232 northeast towards Arnall's Grove and Wood Green. The 182 through to Wembley and Harrow Wheel pass the University of Westminster and the 326 from the shopping centre itself, which is a short bus journey to Middlesex University campus as well. It's worth noting. And just some other photos of the site here, looking north up Heron Way and then looking south and at the back of the sites. And just a collection of photos of the site environs with Brent Cross West Station entrance there on the top left of the screen. So just moving to the design, the applicant has engaged with Barnett's Quality Review Panel as part of the design process and that was during pre-app as well as officers pre-app as well. And the applicant also utilised the Quality Review Panel at the outset of the application to pick up on earlier comments from the Quality Review Panel and that's borne out in the design and how it's been developed. So as you can see here, the approach is, as I said in the introduction, it's two components predominantly, a shoulder block with ground plus mezzanine, 10 storeys rising up to ground plus mezzanine and 11 storeys rising up to a tower element adjacent to the station. Now the building adjacent to the station is developed as a landmark feature with a crown feature on the rooftop and this is, as you can see, the approach that they've taken here. And just in terms of how that's expressed in the elevations, this slide just shows how it's been articulated on the elevations and the modularity that's been sought to achieve to try and break down the scale and introduce visual interest to the building and create distinctive parts to the building. In terms of materiality, the tower element is a predominantly stone cast element with reveals and the shoulder element is predominantly brick built with some incidences of different materiality incorporated as well. I'm just moving to some elevations. This is how the approach is borne out in the elevations and the railway side elevation here as well and side elevations as well. And how the scheme is manifested in CGI is presented here on several slides. As you can see, the interest of the precast stone and the glazed brick on this central hinged element adding some interest and providing some relief. And just looking at how the building lands at ground level, there's an extensive landscaping scheme proposed at the front of the building and as you can see, there's some cutaways in the tower element as well to give the building a bit more interest from a vertical verticality. And again, some more slides here. And just picking up a render at night, this highlights the crowning feature of the development where some sensitive lighting is proposed to emphasise this element of the building. And again, just detailing of the crown. I think including on design, I think officers felt comfortable that the applicant has utilised the quality review panel and has developed the scheme in a way which is design led and follows the appropriate London plan D9 policy for tall buildings and the London and the local plans emerging policy and officers of the opinion that the design is of a standard that it's befitting for a building of this size and landmark intention. And just in terms of the ground floor, we can see that there's some commercial units accommodated. It's four in total. And these will serve to animate the locality and provide activation from day one when the scheme lands in a location which really doesn't have this kind of neighbourhood offer presently. And so small commercial sort of E-class units provide that optionality for the developer to provide some complementarity to the student use. And again, this is just a landscaping plan here to see. So in terms of the student accommodation, the applicant has prepared a student demand study by Knight Frank to examine the profile of students living close by and where they attend university and the types of accommodation they're living in. And some of the main takeaways from this study is that within a one and a half mile radius of the site, there's close to six and a half thousand students who live there, a portion of whom attend middle-sex university and others attending other universities. In terms of the supply and what kind of student accommodation supply there is at the present, the Knight Frank report concludes that there's only 413 bed spaces within that radius, which comprises only 6.4% of that six and a half thousand students. Some students are living with parents, but the rest are considered to be living in HMO private rented stock, up to 4,187 students. I think it's clear to see that providing purposeful student accommodation would provide a different option for those students and other students and provide some relief to the existing private housing stock and release our private housing stock for others who are in need or looking for homes. In terms of how the accommodation is made up, the applicants have been careful to follow the policy H15 of the London Plan and the requirements for student nominations. What this table shows is that 51% of the student rooms will be nominated to a higher education institution. This is a requirement of the London Plan and within that 51%, 35% of those student rooms will be affordable following the London Plan's definition of affordability, which is that the rental cost of those rooms will be equal to or below 55% of the maximum income for a new full-time student studying in London and living away from home and what they can receive from the government's maintenance loan. So 55% of that government's maintenance loan for living costs for the academic year. And this will be secured through part of the legal agreement, which the heads of terms are included in the introduction of the committee report. In terms of the composition of the rooms, this table at the top, and apologies if it's a bit small, just shows you the composition. There's 51.4% of the rooms are cluster rooms, which is essentially a flat share between four to eight student rooms sharing a private amenity and the remainder as either studios or accessible rooms. And accessible rooms meaning they're either adaptable and capable of being adapted to be fully accessible. And this is just a plan showing the typical layout. As you can see in the shoulder block accommodates the majority of these cluster rooms denoted by the light green. These have a private corridor and they go to, they're served by a kitchen living room and officers have sent to check these spaces with the council's own HMO standards and other student schemes and the size of the individual units and the shared amenity spaces are all comparable and exceeding the council's HMO standards. And as you can see, there's the wheelchair accessible rooms as well, wheelchair adaptable accessible rooms here located in close proximity to the cores. The majority of the studio rooms are located within the tower element and as you can see the wheelchair adaptable rooms towards the back there. The accommodation has been prepared in consultation with Homes for Students and the applicant has provided us with a student management plan reassuring that the accommodation is going to be managed in a proper way with good onsite facilities and in terms of the comfort levels for students the application is accompanied by microclimate studies in terms of daylight and sunlight which show positive conditions for students, wind studies showing the ground floor accommodation to be within the comfortable levels, the required comfort levels and also an overheating analysis which demonstrates that the scheme even when windows are closed, which they might need to be in some cases in order to achieve noise levels, the comfort levels can be achieved in terms of temperature. And just moving on to some of the viewpoint assessment which forms part of the environmental statement which goes with the application. There's several views and I've picked out a few for the presentation. There's a view from Edgeway Road, a view looking south on Garon Way and a view from the north on Garon Way as well. And this one from the platform on Brent Cross West Station looking back at the development. And one from further north on Rockwell Way. The applicants in their townscape visual impact assessment also included consideration of the locally important view from Golders Hill Park to Harrow-on-the-Hill and the diagram demonstrates that the site is not within the protected view cone and notwithstanding there are some views afforded of it from the park but these are not within the view cone. So in terms of key considerations and recommendations, the scheme will provide 844 PPSA beds which will contribute to housing delivery and releasing homes for families and other key workers in need of homes. There's an affordable proportion of homes in line with the London Plan requirements. There's on-site welfare facilities that have been proposed in conversation with TfL for bus drivers which has been a long-standing request from TfL and that's accommodated on the ground floor and it's for exclusive access to TfL bus drivers. As reported in the ES socio-economic chapters, there are considerable socio-economic benefits during the construction of the development and once operational there's jobs that are created through the operation of the PPSA itself and the ground floor commercial units and there is an estimated seal liability for the scheme based on index linked rates in the region of 8.2 million Barnett Council seal and 1.6 million Merrill seal, so considerable sums. Key environmental benefits, it's the optimisation of a brownfield site right next to Brent Cross West station, high quality station wayfinding, marker building, act as a catalyst for growth in the growth area and help achieve the councils and the boroughs objectives for growth in this key growth area. It achieves the required carbon reductions through a combination of on-site renewables and building efficiencies and through an offset contribution. It's targeting bream excellent for the ground floor commercial units, biodiversity net gain in adherence with the requirements and in excess of the requirements even and significant part of the trees and other elements such as cycle parking and sustainable transport given it's a car free development and a provision of suds on site such as rain gardens all falling within the ground floor landscaping scheme and the landscaping and amenity provisions within the development itself. Given the above and the recommendations and the review of the officers report itself, the application is recommended for approval subject to section 106 conditions and conditions and also subject to stage 2 Merrill referral and I'm happy to take any questions. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. We have one speaker, Percy Bolani, who's here on behalf of the applicant as the agent. You have three minutes and the button in the middle with the speaker icon, if you press that. Sorry. And then we'll give you a one minute warning. Nigel, can I request a 10 second tissue jab and can we talk and I can vote? Of course. Can we just pause for 30 seconds? Thank you for that. Thank you. So, as I said, you've got three minutes and we'll give you a warning one minute before the end and we'll start timing from when you start. Thank you. Excellent. Well, thank you and firstly, good evening councillors and a big thank you for your time this evening to consider our planning application. My name's Percy Bolani, I'm land director for Astur and we are a residential lead developer with a focus on mixed use developments in London. I'll be brief because the committee report and the presentation from Sam this evening, they're both excellent, they've covered most of the issues in a lot of detail. So Astur's aim is to improve the living experience for people who are renting in London across a range of living spaces including residential, co-living, hotel and also student accommodation. The reason why we're different is that we build out and then we retain a long-term interest in our developments. This means that we have a genuine desire to deliver exceptional buildings which positively contribute to the local area and economy. We first started looking at this site in early 2023 and it was clear to us quite early on there was a unique opportunity to deliver a landmark student scheme. The new Brentcross West station and then the excellent placemaking underway at Brentcross Town made a compelling opportunity for us, but really it was the new Sheffield Hallam campus that really gave us the confidence to move forward and acquire the site in October last year. Yn hynny, rydyn ni wedi gweithio'n ymwneud â'r bobl Barna, gyda gysgwyddiadau gysgwyddiadau sydd wedi'u cymryd yn y schema y byddwn ni'n meddwl yw gweithredu. Rydyn ni wedi cymryd gyda Aliza Morrison, ac roedden nhw'n gwybod y fform erbyn a'i ddemonstruoedd bod y site yn gallu cymryd unrhyw bwyd. Mae'r schema wedi cael ei gynllunio gan y Prif Weinidog, a'r GLA hefyd yn ymwneud â'r schema. Mae gennym Llywodraeth ym Mhobol o Sheffield Hallam, ac rydym yn ymwneud â'i gysgwyddiadau gyda nhw am ymwneud â gynllunio. Rydyn ni hefyd wedi cael ymwneud â strategaethau cymdeithasol cymdeithasol, gyda phobl cymdeithasol nesaf i'r schema. Rydyn ni hefyd wedi cymdeithasol gyda TfL a'r tîm Llywodraeth Cymdeithasol, ac mae hynny'n cael ymwneud â gysgwyddiadau cymdeithasol, ac hefyd wedi cael ymwneud â Network Rail a'i cymdeithasol. Mae'r cyfnod hwn yn cael ymwneud â gysgwyddiadau cymdeithasol a chyflwyno'n bwysig.

Summary
The committee voted unanimously to grant planning permission for a new development at Unit 7, Staples Corner Retail Park, subject to a referral to the Mayor of London and the completion of a Section 106 legal agreement. The scheme comprises the demolition of the existing building on the site, which contains the Flip Out trampoline park, and its replacement with a mixed-use development, including a 28 storey tower containing 844 student bedrooms, and ground floor commercial floorspace.
Unit 7, Staples Corner Retail Park
The committee considered a report on the application by Astir Brent Cross West Limited for the redevelopment of Unit 7, Staples Corner Retail Park.
The proposal would involve the demolition of the existing building and the construction of a new building of up to 26 storeys, plus ground and mezzanine levels, containing 844 student bedrooms and some commercial units.
Planning context
The application site is in the Brent Cross West (Staples Corner) Growth Area, which is designated in the emerging Barnet Local Plan for the development of 1,800 new homes, and new jobs and floorspace for community and retail uses.
The site is located next to the recently opened Brent Cross West Station, which provides a train service to London St Pancras in under 15 minutes.
Principle of development
The principle of the mixed-use development was supported by the committee, which was satisfied that the proposal would make an appropriate contribution to the Brent Cross West (Staples Corner) Growth Area, help diversify the local economy and reduce pressure on the private rental market in the area.
I think it's clear to see that providing purposeful student accommodation would provide a different option for those students and other students and provide some relief to the existing private housing stock and release our private housing stock for others who are in need or looking for homes.
The development is car-free, except for a single disabled parking space, and the committee was satisfied that the proposed cycle parking and pedestrian/cycle access routes, and the proximity to Brent Cross West Station would enable students to travel sustainably.
The committee was advised that the GLA's draft Purpose Built Student Accommodation London Planning Guidance, which was consulted on in January 2024, had informed the proposal.
Student housing
The applicant has carried out a student demand study, which demonstrates a need for purpose built student accommodation in the area.
“Across a 1.5 mile radius catchment from Geron Way, the total provision of purpose-built accommodation totals 413 bed spaces, representing just 6.4% of total full-time students living within the area (6,487 students). [...] At a 3-mile radius, the 7,936 purpose-built bed spaces represent 22.8% of total full-time students living within the area (34,796 students), a higher rate of provision, but still below the provision across London as a whole. [...]” (Student Demand Study, Knight Frank, June 2024)
The committee was satisfied that the student accommodation units were of an adequate size, based on the Council's own HMO standards.
The applicant, Astur Living, has been in discussions with Sheffield Hallam University, who are establishing a satellite campus at Brent Cross Town, about the nomination of student rooms. A letter of comfort from Sheffield Hallam is included with the application.
We first started looking at this site in early 2023 and it was clear to us quite early on there was a unique opportunity to deliver a landmark student scheme. The new Brentcross West station and then the excellent placemaking underway at Brentcross Town made a compelling opportunity for us, but really it was the new Sheffield Hallam campus that really gave us the confidence to move forward and acquire the site in October last year.
The committee raised concerns about whether the development could be occupied by single people other than students.
It is how you are going to ensure that it is just for students taking places there and not other possibly single people,
They were told that this would be addressed through a combination of an occupancy restriction, a nomination agreement with Sheffield Hallam University, and the development's operational management plan.
Affordable student housing
35% of the rooms will be affordable student accommodation, as defined in the London Plan, meaning that the rooms will be available at a rent of no more than 55% of the maximum student maintenance loan available. This will be secured by a planning obligation.
Design
The development will take the form of two distinct elements:
- A shoulder block, 10-11 storeys high, running along Geron Way.
- A landmark tower of 26 storeys (plus ground and mezzanine level), which will be located next to Brent Cross West Station.
Both elements will be connected at lower levels.
The committee was satisfied that the design of the scheme is acceptable, particularly the design of the tower, which includes an architectural crown.
Personally I think the design is exceptional.
The committee received a presentation from the planning officer, Sam Gerstein, including details of the design of the development and the proposed materials.
They were also told about the feedback received from the Quality Review Panel, who praised the scheme's design and the proposed materials.
“The Barnet Quality Review Panel thanks the design team for their presentation and for their response to the comments made at the last review. It feels that the building has been well designed and exceeds the quality often seen in student accommodation schemes. Given that it will be one of the first buildings in a new place, it has the potential to set a high benchmark for what is to follow and to be an exceptional building in its own right." (Quality Review Panel, Chairs review 7 August 2024)
The committee was also informed about the Council's Western Lands Masterplan Framework, which seeks to encourage high quality design in the growth area. The framework identifies the application site as an appropriate location for a tall building that can act as a landmark and urban marker.
Section 106 obligations
The development will be subject to a Section 106 Agreement1 to secure a number of planning obligations, including:
- An agreement to nominate 51% of the rooms to a higher education provider, including the affordable rooms.
- A contribution of £100,000 towards improvements to a footway and toucan crossing on the A5
- The delivery of a skills and employment plan to maximise job creation during the construction phase.
- The provision of off-site highway improvement works to Geron Way, including the installation of CCTV
- The provision of welfare facilities for TfL bus drivers
- A carbon offset payment of £247,956
These planning obligations are considered to be necessary to mitigate the impact of the development.
