Item 6/1 – Recommendation: Grant – 549 Lordship Lane, London SE22 8LB (See pages 13 – 39)

Proposal:  Refurbishment and conversion of the existing building to provide 5   residential units (3 x1 bedroom and 2 x 2 bedroom flats) with external   alterations, including cycle parking and associated car parking   accessed from Lordship Lane.

The planning officer introduced the report, circulated plans of the scheme and responded to Members’ questions

Members expressed concern about the permanent chaining open of the access gates and the impact this would have on the safety for future residents.  It was considered that there should be a more better method to ensure the highway was kept clear but which still made the site secure.

It was noted that neither the applicants or objectors were present at the meeting.

Cllr Robinson spoke in support of the scheme in his capacity as a Ward Councillor.

RESOLVED:  That planning permission and listed building consent be         granted subject to a revision of condition 15 of the planning       permission which would now read:

Prior to commencement of works on site details of the vehicular access gates on Lordship Lane shall be submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority.  Such details shall ensure that the gates can remain closed when not in use and that vehicles can enter and exit the site without impacting on the flow of traffic on the trunk road.

Reason

As in officer report.

The meeting closed at 7.35 pm
