prior to its expiry. The application was previous assessed against the adopted Unitary Development Plan, Supplemental Planning Guidance and Planning Obligations Supplementary Planning Document. Since the application was approved, subject to a legal agreement on 14th July 2008, a revised London Plan has been adopted and the Employment Development Plan Document. The proposal is considered to comply with the relevant policies of these documents and is therefore recommended for approval.

2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION 2.1 Power Road Industrial Estate is an established Industrial Estate covering

approximately 72,000m2. It is located to the west of Chiswick and is accessed from both Chiswick High Road to the south and Gunnersbury Avenue to the west. The Employment Development Plan Document highlights the Power Road Industrial Estate as a Locally Significant Industrial Estate.

2.2 The application site is located on a prominent corner location to the north

east of Power Road, and lies within the Power Road Industrial Estate. The site currently contains a two-storey office and light industrial building with a flat roof to the front and a saw tooth roof with north lights roof to the rear. The building dates back to the 1930’s and is constructed in a mixture of load bearing masonry and framed construction. The site is visible from Chiswick High Road. The building is shown below;

2.3 The Lightbox is a business centre providing 7,580m2 of general B1 space

and houses several small to medium sized businesses. It is operated by Workspace Group plc who own over 100 sites within London; the company ethos is to provide flexible, managed workspace to businesses. In this location, most units are B1 (b) Research and Development and B1(c) Light Industrial. The company also has two other Chiswick Sites, Chiswick Studios, which is adjacent to the application site, and the Barley Mow Centre, which is occupied predominantly by B1 (a) office use.

3

2.4 The Lightbox building underwent a major renovation in 2006 when most of the units were refurbished and the internal layout was reconsidered to include an internal atrium and new glazed entrance.

2.5 The building backs onto the rear of properties within Thorney Hedge Road,

and the associated Conservation Area. 3.0 HISTORY

3.1 There is extensive planning history relating to this site, the most recent

planning history is detailed below;

4.2 The applicant has applied for a three year extension to the current planning permission.

Details of Planning Consent 00890/F/P17

4.3 The roof extension to the west of the building would be single storey and would be located on top of the existing flat roof. It would increase the height of the building by 1.90 metres above the existing saw tooth roof. The proposed single storey extension would increase the height of the building to 11.10 metres, with an additional 1.50 metres in height added by the additional louvered plant screens.

4.4 The extension would have a flat roof and be finished with rendered walls.

The windows would also be reinstalled to improve thermal properties and control over ventilation.

4.5 The roof extension to the south of the building would create an additional

two storeys and would replace the existing saw tooth roof. It would extend 3.30 metres above the existing high point and have a largely flat roof with a sculpted metal seam roof and wall. The gable end walls of the original saw tooth roof have been retained at either end. It would raise the height of the building to a total height of 13.90 metres, with an additional 0.55 metres added by the lift enclosure.

4.6 The proposal includes a terraced area to the third floor of the building and a

glazed walkway to the western elevation. An overhang and ribbon sunshade will provide solar shading to the western elevation of the building. The windows to the new build areas are to be metal profile, double glazed units with horizontal solid solar shading, vertical to the west and horizontal to the south.

4.7 The southern and western elevation of the extension would have a living

wall to its elevations and there would be three solar panels located to the north of the building and to the southern roof slope.

5

The proposal also includes the provision of a lift to the western elevation. This is to provide access to the additional floors.

5.0 CONSULTATIONS 5.1 Over 140 neighbouring properties were notified by letter on 25th August

2011. A site notice was erected at the site on 16th August 2011, and an advertisement was placed in the Hounslow Chronicle on 19th August 2011.

5.2 Two responses have been received and can be summarised as follows;

Objection Response

Loss of sunlight and daylight to rear of properties in Thorney Hedge Road

This proposal subject to this application does not vary from the previously approved application (00890/F/P17). It is therefore not considered that there would be any additional loss of sunlight or privacy to the rear of properties in Thorney Hedge Road.

Loss of privacy and overlooking to the rear gardens of properties in Thorney Hedge Road

6.0 POLICY

Determining applications for full or outline planning permission 6.1 When determining applications for planning permission, the authority is

required to have regard to the development plan, so far as is material, and to any other material considerations. In addition, the determination must be made in accordance with the development plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise.

Determining applications for conservation area consent 6.2 In considering whether to grant planning permission with respect to any

buildings or other land in a conservation area, special attention shall be paid to the desirability of preserving or enhancing the character or appearance of the conservation area.

Determining applications in respect of listed buildings 6.3 In considering whether to grant planning permission for development which

affects a listed building or its setting, the authority shall have special regard to the desirability of preserving the building or its setting or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses.

The Development Plan 6.4 The Development Plan for the Borough comprises the Council's Unitary Development Plan (UDP), Employment Development Plan Document,

Brentford Area Action Plan and the London Plan.

The emerging Core Strategy 6.5 On 12 July 2011, the Council's Cabinet approved that the Core Strategy

"Preferred Strategy" should go out to consultation. As emerging policy, the Local Planning Authority (LPA) considers that the emerging Core Strategy is capable of being a material consideration. Given that the emerging Core Strategy is still in the consultation stages, the LPA considers that very limited weight can be given to it at this stage.

The draft National Planning Policy Framework 6.6 The draft National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) was published for

consultation on 25 July 2011. The NPPF is a consultation document and, therefore, potentially subject to amendment. Nonetheless, as emerging policy, the Local Planning Authority (LPA) considers that the NPPF is capable of being a material consideration. As the Planning Policy Statements, Guidance notes and Circulars remain in place until cancelled and given that the NPPF is still in the consultation stages, the LPA considers that very limited weight can be given to the NPPF at this stage.

6.7 In addition to the draft NPPF Central Government Guidance to be applied is

mainly set out in Planning Policy Guidance Notes, Planning Policy Statements and Government Circulars, with particular emphasis for this application on:

PPS 1 Delivering Sustainable Development PPS 4 Planning for Sustainable Economic Growth PPS 5 Planning for the Historic Environment PPS 13 Transport PPS 22 Renewable Energy PPS 25 Development and Flood Risk 6.8 The most relevant policies in the London Plan are considered to be:

7.0 PLANNING ISSUES 7.1 The main issues in the determination of this application area

• The acceptability in principle of the proposal

• Planning Policy Changes

• Relevant Policies The acceptability in principle of the proposal 7.2 Planning Permission 00890/F/P17 was approved subject to legal agreement

on 14th July 2008. The legal agreement was completed on 31st July 2008. This application seeks to renew this planning permission which expired on 31st July 2011, for a further three years. The original application was assessed against relevant National Planning Policy Statements and policies within the London Plan (adopted February 2008), Unitary Development Plan (UDP) (adopted in 2003) and Supplementary Planning Guidance. The proposal is unchanged from the previously approved development. Saved policies of the UDP remain applicable, therefore it is not necessary to assess the current application against these policies.

7.3 A process that allowed an extension of time for the implementation of a

planning permission was brought into force on 1st October 2009 via the Town and Country Planning (General Development Procedure) (Amendment No.3) (England) Order 2009 (SI 2009 No.2261). This measure has been introduced in order to make it easier for developers and LPAs to keep planning permissions alive for longer during the economic downturn so that they can more quickly be implemented when economic conditions improve.

7.4 In current circumstances, government guidance is that local authorities

should take a positive and constructive approach towards applications which improve the prospect of sustainable development being taken forward quickly. The development proposed is an application for extension which by definition has been judged to be acceptable in principle at an earlier date. While these applications should, of course, be determined in accordance with s.38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, LPAs should, in making their decisions, focus on development plan policies and other material considerations (including national policies on matters such as climate change) which may have changed significantly since the original grant of permission.

7.5 None of the conditions on the original permission have been approved.

Therefore if the current application were to be approved, it would be necessary to attach the relevant conditions from the original consent.

7.6 Since granting of planning permission reference 00890/F/P17 on 14th July

2008, a revised London Plan (July 2011) and the London Borough of Hounslow Employment Development Plan (25th November 2008) have now been adopted. The application must therefore be assessed against this adopted policy.

9

Planning Policy Changes Revised London Plan (Adopted July 2011) 7.7 The London Plan is the overall strategic plan for London, setting out an

integrated economic, environmental, transport, and social framework for the development of London over the next 20-25 years. The first London Plan was published in 2004, and an updated version was published in February 2008. London elected a new mayor in May 2008, and subsequently a full review of the London Plan was announced. The revised London Plan was adopted in July 2011.

7.8 Chapters Two and Four of the revised London Plan seek to address

constraints and opportunities in the economic growth of outer London and managing (and improving) the stock of industrial capacity to meet both the strategic and local needs of small and medium sized enterprises, start ups and businesses requiring more affordable workspace. The proposal is for an additional 1,873m2 of general B1 space, within a Locally Significant Industrial Estate and would redevelop and extend older premises to better meet the needs of current and future occupiers. The proposal would therefore comply with the requirements of Chapters Two and Four of the revised London Plan.

7.9 Chapter Five of the revised London Plan sets out a comprehensive range

of policies to under pin London’s response to Climate Change including climate change mitigation and adaptation, waste, aggregates, contaminated land and hazardous substances. Policy 5.2 requires proposals to make the fullest contribution to minimizing carbon dioxide emissions through being lean (use less energy), clean (supply energy efficiently) and green (renewable energy).

7.10 The proposed includes several design features which would enhance the

sustainable credentials of the existing building and proposed extension. These include the introduction of a ribbon sunshade and vertical solar shades to enhance solar gain and regulate the thermal properties of the building and the installation of solar panels to allow for the generation of electricity to the building. Further details would be required by way of condition.

7.11 Chapter Six of the revised London Plan seeks to encourage the integration

of transport and development through supporting development that generates high levels of trips at locations with high public transport accessibility and supporting measures that encourage shifts to more sustainable modes of transport.

7.12 The application would meet the requirements of UDP policy T.1.2 in terms

of the proposed car parking provision to the building. The site is located within an area of Public Transport Accessibility Level 3, which is considered average, although there are a number of rail and bus routes just beyond the adopted 12-minute walking distance. The applicant has submitted a Travel

10

Plan for the development and a financial contribution of £40,000 towards public realm and street scene improvements to encourage pedestrian movements. Overall the proposed development would comply with requirements of Chapter Six of the revised London Plan.

Employment Development Plan Document (adopted 25th November 2008) 7.13 The purpose of the Employment Development Plan Document (DPD) is to

plan the future use of land for employment including industrial and commercial uses in the London Borough of Hounslow. This is achieved through directing new employment development to appropriate locations and the management, protection and release of industrial and commercial land and buildings.

7.14 The Employment DPD lists Power Road Industrial Estate as a Locally

Significant Industrial Site. Policies E1, E2 and EP6 requires that Locally Significant Industrial Sites are promoted, managed and protected for industrial uses, warehousing and related uses. The proposal would provide additional floorspace for general industrial use (B1a, B1b and B1c) and therefore the proposal would comply with the principles of the Employment Development Plan Document.

8.0 EQUALITIES DUTIES IMPLICATIONS

8.1 The Council has to give due regard to its Equalities Duties and in particular with respect to its duties arising pursuant to the Equality Act 2010, section Following a relevance test, which is available at: http://www.hounslow.gov.uk/index/council_and_democracy/equality/eias/environment_eias.htm it is considered that there will be no specific implications with regard to the council’s duty in respect of equalities duties and that if approving or refusing this proposal the Council will be acting in compliance with its duties.
