Variation/Removal of Condition - Section 73

Description

Application for variation of condition 2 (approved plans), attached to lbm planning application relating to the redevelopment of the site to provide 294 residential units, with associated car parking, landscaping amenity areas, secure cycle parking and other associated development. Changes relate to facilitating the provision of four additional residential units. These additional units are achieved through the rationalisation of internal cycle storage areas following the adoption of the gla’s “support for housebuilding” guidance, which, amongst other matters, introduced reduced long-stay cycle parking requirements. In addition, the application seeks to regularise a minor variation to the location of the onsite sub-station identified through the detailed design and construction drawings process.
