Proposal

Variation of a legal agreement for full planning permission 18/AP/2895 and 21/AP/0938 dated 11/03/2020 for Deed of Variation to amend the S106 agreement attached to planning permission 18/AP/2895 dated 11th March 2020 for 'Demolition of existing buildings and erection of a new mixed use development comprising a part 7, part 9 storey (maximum height above ground of 29.99m) building of 288sqm commercial floor space (Use Class B1) and 74 residential dwellings (Use Class C3) with associated bin stores, cycle stores, plant rooms and hard and soft landscaping. This application represents a departure from strategic policy 10 'Jobs and Businesses' of the Core Strategy (2011) and Saved Policy 1.2 'Strategic and Local Preferred Industrial Locations' of the Southwark Plan (2007) by virtue of proposing to introduce residential accommodation in a preferred industrial location". The variations sought are - Change in tenure for private market homes to be used as intermediate housing; and - Alteration of Tenure Plans. The amendments are to Schedule 13 Approved Affordable Housing Mix - to show correct unit size/tenure being delivered at the site
