Site south west junction of Glenworth Avenue and Saunders Ness Road, E14 3EB
Proposal
Application for non-material amendment to planning permission PA/15/00360 dated 18/12/2015, to amend condition 19 to alter the operating hours for the school. Condition 19 currently reads: 'The teaching hours of the school hereby permitted shall start no later than 8.30am and finish no earlier than 3.55pm." It is proposed to amend condition 19 as follows: 'The teaching hours of the school hereby permitted shall start no later than 8.15am and finish no later than 3.00pm". Reason: To stagger the teaching hours of the new school with those of St Luke's Primary School to avoid congestion on the public highway and ensure the amenity of nearby residents is not compromised, in accordance with Tower Hamlets Core Strategy 2010 Policy SP09 and Policy DM20 of the Managing Development Document 2013.

What refusal means
The process from here
The council refused this application for the reasons set out on the decision notice, which the council portal holds in full. Only the applicant can appeal a refusal; the time limit runs from the decision date and is shorter for householder schemes.
Refusal does not prevent a fresh attempt. Applicants often address the reasons for refusal and resubmit, so a refused scheme is not necessarily the end of proposals for the site.
About amendments applications
How this application type works
An amendment application changes a permission that already exists. Non-material amendments cover small adjustments with no wider effect, while minor material amendments, usually made by varying a condition, allow modest design changes without a fresh application. Anything beyond that needs a new permission, so the scope here is deliberately narrow.

Minor Material Amendments to planning permission PA/15/00360 dated 18/12/2015, to amend the wording of condition 10 (Travel Plan) and condition 19 (School Hours). The amended conditions would read as follows: Condition 10 currently reads: Prior to the first occupation of the development a Travel Plan shall be submitted to and agreed in writing by the local planning authority. The Travel Plan shall include details relating to public transport, car and cycle parking demand and walking to the development for employees, school children and parents. The development shall be operated in accordance with the approved Travel Plan. Condition 10 as proposed: The development shall be operated in accordance with the approved Travel Plan ref. 111045-PEF-XX-XX-TRP-H-00003, dated July 2026. Reason: To encourage sustainable transport and to ensure the amenity of nearby residents is not compromised in accordance with Policies D.DH8, D.ES9, S.TR1, D.TR2 and D.TR3 of the Tower Hamlet Local Plan (2020). Condition 19 currently reads: The teaching hours of the school hereby permitted shall start no later than 8:30 and finish no earlier than 3.55. Condition 19 as proposed: The teaching hours of the school hereby permitted shall start no later than 8.15am and finish no later than 3.00pm. For clarity, 'teaching hours' are the minimum core hours that pupils are required to be in school and do not include after school clubs and activities. Reason: To stagger the teaching hours of the new school with those of St Luke's Primary School to avoid congestion on the public highway and ensure the amenity of nearby residents is not compromised, in accordance with Policies D.DH8, D.ES9, S.TR1, D.TR2 and D.TR3 of the Tower Hamlet Local Plan (2020).
