Registered No: 15/01308/FULL

The Chief Planning Officer (CPO) introduced the application and advised the Committee of some additional conditions which were tabled.

The CPO also advised that the objection from the Diocese of London had been withdrawn.

Mr Ken Scott spoke in objection on behalf of Glenn Winter (9 Ironmonger Lane) and Winter Scott LLP (St. Olave’s House) to express concerns regarding the scale,

location and use of the proposed first floor roof terrace and the resultant negative noise, disturbance and overlooking effects to neighbouring properties.

Mr Luke Emmerton, Director of DP9, spoke on behalf of the applicant.

The Committee discussed the proposal in relation to the concerns including the impact on the nearby buildings and spaces, including daylight/sunlight and amenity, and whether or not the proposed roof terrace would give potential for noise generation and overlooking. Discussion ensured regarding the possibility of increasing the height of the balustrades and including planting that would help combat noise and overlooking. A further condition was proposed by the CPO to deal with this matter. The details submitted pursuant to this condition would not be approved without consultation with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman.

RESOLVED – That the application, upon being put to the vote, was approved.

Vote – Unanimous
