Policy 7.6 "Architecture" that architecture should make a positive contribution to a coherent public realm, streetscape and wider cityscape. It should incorporate the highest quality materials and design appropriate to its context. Policy 7.8 "Heritage Assets And Archaeology" states that development affecting heritage assets and their settings should conserve their significance by being sympathetic to their form, scale, materials and architectural detail. Policy 7.14 "Improving Air Quality" advises that development proposals should minimise increased exposure to existing poor air quality and make provision to address local problems of air quality. Policy 7.15 "Reducing Noise And Enhancing Soundscapes" advises that development proposals should seek to reduce noise. National Planning Policy Framework Section 1 Building a strong, competitive economy Section 4 Promoting sustainable transport Section 7 Requiring good design Section 8 Promoting healthy communities The provision of a mixed use development is welcomed and supported and would generate economic benefits for the local and wider area. It would retain and refurbish a significant amount of the employment generating floorspace, create additional new commercial floorspace and redevelop the remainder of the site to provide a large number of new dwellings which would significantly contribute to meeting the borough’s housing target. The mix of uses provided is diverse and should contribute to urban regeneration including helping to increase the viability of The Blue shopping centre. The amount of affordable housing proposed, at 26% (measured by habitable room) is considered to be a reasonable quantum, taking into account a review of the developments viability. The related S106 agreement contains a mechanism to secure additional affordable housing in the event that viability improves during the construction period. The development has the potential to deliver a high quality of design. The overall site layout is considered acceptable and would establish new streets which would integrate into the surrounding street pattern effectively. The heights proposed are generally acceptable, subject to a more detailed assessment at reserved matters stage. The new public space at the heart of the development would provide amenity for both the existing and future occupiers, and also be open for the public to use and enjoy. The route to The Blue is a further benefit, increasing the permeability in the area. The new housing is considered to be of a high quality and would on balance justify the density, which is above the range expected for the urban density zone. The level of parking is considered low but when considered with the other transport measures is considered acceptable, in line with policies to reduce reliance on private cars. The conclusions of the environmental impact assessment, including impacts on neighbouring occupiers such as daylight have been considered and no substantial harm has been identified which could not be mitigated by works secured by conditions or through the S106 agreement. The scheme is therefore considered to comply with the relevant Southwark Core Strategy and saved Southwark Plan and London Plan policies, and achieve key strategic objectives relating to regeneration and housing supply. Subject to the following condition:

Any piling must be undertaken in accordance with the terms of the approved piling method statement. Reason: The proposed works will be in close proximity to underground sewerage utility infrastructure. Piling has the potential to impact on local underground sewerage utility infrastructure, in accordance with Strategic Policy 13 High Environmental Standards of the Core Strategy 2011. The applicant is advised to contact Thames Water Developer Services on 0845 850 2777 to discuss the details of the piling method statement.

118 Thames Water Development shall not commence until a drainage strategy detailing any on and/or off site drainage works, has been submitted to and approved by, the local planning authority in consultation with the sewerage undertaker. No discharge of foul or surface water from the site shall be accepted into the public system until the drainage works referred to in the strategy have been completed. Reason - The development may lead to sewage flooding; to ensure that sufficient capacity is made available to cope with the new development; and in order to avoid adverse environmental impact upon the community, in accordance with Strategic Policy 13 High Environmental Standards of the Core Strategy 2011.

119 Environment Agency Whilst the principles and installation of Sustainable Drainage Schemes (SuDS) are to be encouraged, no infiltration of surface water drainage into the ground is permitted other than with the express written consent of the local planning authority, which may be given or those parts of the site where it has been demonstrated that there is no resultant unacceptable risk to Controlled Waters. The development shall be carried out in accordance with the approval details. Reason Infiltrating water has the potential to cause remobilisation of contaminants present in shallow soil or made ground which could ultimately cause pollution of ground water, in accordance with Strategic Policy 13 - High Environmental Standards of the Core Strategy 2011.

120 Environment Agency Piling or any other foundation designs using penetrative methods shall not be permitted other than with the express written consent of the Local Planning Authority, which may be given for those parts of the site where it has been demonstrated that there is no resultant unacceptable risk to groundwater. The development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details. Reason The developer should be aware of the potential risks associated with the use of piling where contamination is an issue. Piling or other penetrative methods of foundation design on contaminated sites can potentially result in unacceptable risks to underlying groundwaters. We recommend that where soil contamination is present, a risk assessment is carried out in accordance with our 'Piling into contaminated sites' guidance. We will not

Page 11: Item 1 recommendationmoderngov.southwark.gov.uk/documents/s37511/Appendix 5 Recom… · and Applicant's Drawing Nos. Covering Letter, Environmental Statement, Enviromental Statement

permit piling activities on parts of a site where an unacceptable risk is posed to Controlled Waters in accordance with Core Strategy 13 High Environmental Standards 2011.

121 Environment Agency If, during development, contamination not previously identified is found to be present at the site then no further development (unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority) shall be carried out until the developer has submitted, and obtained written approval from the Local Planning Authority for, a remediation strategy detailing how this unsuspected contamination shall be dealt with. The remediation strategy shall be implemented as approved and reported to the satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority. Reason There is always the potential for unexpected contamination to be identified during groundworks. We should be consulted should any contamination be identified that could present an unacceptable risk to Controlled Waters accordance with Core Strategy 13 High Environmental Standards 2011.

122 Environment Agency The development permitted by this planning permission shall only be carried out in accordance with the approved Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) by Cundall Johnston & Partners LLP (dated 05 July 2012 with reference 1004339, Rev. R1) and the following mitigation measures detailed within the FRA:

• no sleeping accommodation should be allowed at the ground floor level of the proposed development (Section 8.1.1);

• safe refuge from the ground floor level to the upper levels should be available at any time (Section 9.1);

• appropriate flood resistant and resilient measures should be implemented within the ground floor level, where practical considerations allow, using the guidance contained within Approved Document C of the Building Regulations and the document ‘Improving the flood performance of new buildings: flood resilient construction’ which was published by the Department for Communities and Local Government (CLG) in 2007 (Section 10.0);

• construction of the development permitted by this planning permission shall not commence until a surface water drainage scheme for the site based on the principles set out in the FRA (Section 8.2) is finalised at the detailed design stage and is submitted to, and approved by, the Local Planning Authority; the strategy should aim to apply a reduction of at least 50% of the existing surface water discharge, which is the minimum requirement of the London Plan, as well as to achieve discharge rates as close as possible to the Greenfield run-off rate; the surface water drainage strategy should seek to implement a Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) hierarchy which achieves reductions in surface water run-off rates to Greenfield rates, in line with the London Plan (Policy 5.13), as referred to in the FRA (Section 13.0).

Reason To reduce the impact of flooding on the future occupants, to the proposed building and ensure that the new development does not increase the risk of surface water flooding in accordance with Core Strategy 13 High Environmental Standards.

Reason Should remediation be deemed necessary, the applicant should demonstrate that any remedial measures have been undertaken as agreed and the environmental risks have been satisfactorily managed so that the site is deemed suitable for use in accordance with Core Strategy 13 High Environmental Standards 2011.

216 Environment Agency The development permitted by this planning permission shall only be carried out in accordance with the approved Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) by Cundall Johnston & Partners LLP (dated 05 July 2012 with reference 1004339, Rev. R1) and the following mitigation measures detailed within the FRA:

• no sleeping accommodation should be allowed at the ground floor level of the proposed development (Section 8.1.1);

• safe refuge from the ground floor level to the upper levels should be available at any time (Section 9.1);

Page 18: Item 1 recommendationmoderngov.southwark.gov.uk/documents/s37511/Appendix 5 Recom… · and Applicant's Drawing Nos. Covering Letter, Environmental Statement, Enviromental Statement

• appropriate flood resistant and resilient measures should be implemented within the ground floor level, where practical considerations allow, using the guidance contained within Approved Document C of the Building Regulations and the document ‘Improving the flood performance of new buildings: flood resilient construction’ which was published by the Department for Communities and Local Government (CLG) in 2007 (Section 10.0);

• construction of the development permitted by this planning permission shall not commence until a surface water drainage scheme for the site based on the principles set out in the FRA (Section 8.2) is finalised at the detailed design stage and is submitted to, and approved by, the Local Planning Authority; the strategy should aim to apply a reduction of at least 50% of the existing surface water discharge, which is the minimum requirement of the London Plan, as well as to achieve discharge rates as close as possible to the Greenfield run-off rate; the surface water drainage strategy should seek to implement a Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) hierarchy which achieves reductions in surface water run-off rates to Greenfield rates, in line with the London Plan (Policy 5.13), as referred to in the FRA (Section 13.0).

Reason To reduce the impact of flooding on the future occupants, to the proposed building and ensure that the new development does not increase the risk of surface water flooding in accordance with Core Strategy 13 High Environmental Standards.

217 Environment Agency If, during development, contamination not previously identified is found to be present at the site then no further development (unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority) shall be carried out until the developer has submitted, and obtained written approval from the Local Planning Authority for, a remediation strategy detailing how this unsuspected contamination shall be dealt with. The remediation strategy shall be implemented as approved and reported to the satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority. Reason There is always the potential for unexpected contamination to be identified during groundworks. We should be consulted should any contamination be identified that could present an unacceptable risk to Controlled Waters accordance with Core Strategy 13 High Environmental Standards 2011.

218 Environment Agency Piling or any other foundation designs using penetrative methods shall not be permitted other than with the express written consent of the Local Planning Authority, which may be given for those parts of the site where it has been demonstrated that there is no resultant unacceptable risk to groundwater. The development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details. Reason The developer should be aware of the potential risks associated with the use of piling where contamination is an issue. Piling or other penetrative methods of foundation design on contaminated sites can potentially result in unacceptable risks to underlying groundwaters. We recommend that where soil contamination is present, a risk assessment is carried out in accordance with our 'Piling into contaminated sites' guidance. We will not permit piling activities on parts of a site where an unacceptable risk is posed to Controlled Waters in accordance with Core Strategy 13 High Environmental Standards 2011.

219 Environment Agency Whilst the principles and installation of Sustainable Drainage Schemes (SuDS) are to be encouraged, no infiltration of surface water drainage into the ground is permitted other than with the express written consent of the local planning authority, which may be given or those parts of the site where it has been demonstrated that there is no resultant unacceptable risk to Controlled Waters. The development shall be carried out in accordance with the approval details. Reason Infiltrating water has the potential to cause remobilisation of contaminants present in shallow soil or made ground which could ultimately cause pollution of ground water, in accordance with Strategic Policy 13 - High Environmental Standards of the Core Strategy 2011.

220 Thames Water No impact piling shall take place until a piling method statement (detailing the type of piling to be undertaken and the methodology by which such piling will be carried out, including measures to prevent and minimise the potential for damage to subsurface sewerage infrastructure, and the programme for the works) has been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority in consultation with Thames Water for each of the following phases:

Thames Water Surface Water Drainage - With regard to surface water drainage it is the responsibility of a developer to make proper provision for drainage to ground, water courses or a suitable sewer. In respect of surface water it is recommended that the applicant should ensure that storm flows are attenuated or regulated into the receiving public network through on or off site storage. When it is proposed to connect to a combined public sewer, the site drainage should be separate and combined at the final manhole nearest the boundary. Connections are not permitted for the removal of Ground Water. Where the developer proposes to discharge to a public sewer, prior approval from Thames Water Developer Services will be required. They can be contacted on 0845 850 2777.

London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority Development should comply with the requirements of Approved Document B of the Building Regulations. A full building consultation will take place with when the application is received.
