25/AP/2588 - Variation Approved

Proposal

Non-Material Amendment to planning permission ref. dated 16/08/2023 for 'Redevelopment of site to provide a 24 storey building plus basement consisting of purpose-built student accommodation (Sui Generis), and commercial uses (Use Class E) at ground floor, and the development of the associated railway arches to provide commercial space (Use Class E), plant, refuse and cycle storage, and associated access and public realm works.' The amendment seeks: - Compliance with the updated Fire Safety Standards BS 9991:2024 - a full review of building regulations compliance has been undertaken as part of the design development which has led to some amendments. - Amendments to wording of conditions 1 (plans), 2 (description of development) , 12 (hard and soft landscaping), 17 (materials), condition 20 (wheelchair housing), condition 24 (electrical vehicle charging point), condition 48 (fire safety strategy compliance) - Consideration of the building operation - Since the planning approval, the scheme has been acquired by CKC Properties, on behalf of VC PBSA1 Limited, so a full review has been carried out and has led to some design amendments.

Associated applications 14

Site constraints 12

Flood zone 3, rivers and sea
High chance: a 1 in 100 or greater annual chance from rivers, or 1 in 200 from the sea. Any development here needs a flood risk assessment. Defences are not counted.
The Environment Agency flood map for planning. Homes in zone 3 must also pass the sequential test. Surface water flooding is a separate map.
Flood map ↗
2 Article 4 directions
Central Activities Zone · Elephant and Castle Major Town Centre. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.
An Article 4 direction withdraws particular permitted development rights, so work that would normally need no application needs one here. Not every council has published its directions.
Archaeological priority area
An assessment or field evaluation may be asked for before ground works.
The council or Historic England considers archaeology likely here. A desk-based assessment, and sometimes trial trenching, can be asked for with the application.
Air quality management area: Southwark AQMA
The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.
Council record ↗
Town centre: Elephant and Castle/ Walworth Road
A designated centre in the London Plan.
Shops, services and active frontages are protected in centres, and main town centre uses are steered here first.
1 listed building within 150 m
Nearest: Metro Central Heights, Grade II, 25 m away
The site itself is not listed. Listed building consent is needed for work that affects the special interest of a listed building, inside or out, on top of planning permission. Setting can be a consideration for buildings nearby; there is no fixed radius.
Historic England ↗
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Central activities zone
The core of central London in the London Plan.
Offices, culture and the other strategic functions of the centre take priority over new housing here.
Opportunity area
Where the London Plan expects significant growth.
Boundaries are indicative and the borough holds the detailed plan.
Also on the record
National infrastructure project 1122 m away: Thames Tideway Tunnel; Inside the Southwark built-up area; Public transport access: PTAL 6b (excellent), TfL 2023, for the 100 m square.
Not affected
Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
