Brent Cross Cricklewood Section 73 Planning Application October 2013 BXC04 — Planning Statement Addendum Brent Cross Cricklewood Partners 10 Grosvenor Street London W1K 4BJ www.brentcrosscricklewood.com BRENT CROSS CRICKLEWOOD PLANNING STATEMENT ADDENDUM (BXC4) October 2013 Our Ref: Q20027 PREFACE This Planning Statement Addendum has been prepared by Quod to support a planning application under Section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 for planning permission for the regeneration of Brent Cross Cricklewood without complying with conditions attached to Planning Permission Ref No: C/17559/08 (“the 2010 Permission”) granted on 28 October 2010. The primary purpose of the application is to make adjustments to the planning conditions of the 2010 Permission to reflect the evolution in the scheme design and the revised strategy for delivery in accordance with the clear policy commitment to achieve comprehensive development of the regeneration area. The Application Forms (BXC1) and Planning Statement Addendum (BXC4) which support this Section 73 application provide full details of the conditions that are proposed to be altered and why those alterations are necessary. The specific changes can briefly be summarised as follows: • • • • Creation of a footbridge named the Living Bridge over the North Circular Road to improve pedestrian connectivity across the site and provide better integration between the northern and southern components of the development; Alterations to the layout of development within Brent Cross East Development Zone (ie around remodelled Brent Cross Shopping Centre) including creating the interface with the Living Bridge, as well as consequential amendments to the alignment of the River Brent; Alterations to the phasing of the development to bring more of the Brent Cross East Development Zone into Phase 1 including the new bus station; and Alterations and improvements to the open space and public realm provision, including the reconfiguration of Brent Cross Square and Market Square to integrate with the Living Bridge. These, and other changes, are designed to enable the strategic vision for comprehensive regeneration of the site to be delivered in a timely, effective and beneficial manner. The principal changes relate to the approved Parameter Plans, and attached to this Preface for ease of reference is a schedule which explains the proposed amendments to each Parameter Plan. A revised Illustrative Masterplan contained in the Revised Design & Access Statement (BXC3) has been prepared to show one way in which the scheme could be delivered in accordance with the revised Parameter Plans. The proposals contain identical quantums of development floorspace, and its distribution across the Development Zones is consistent with the Zonal Floorspace Schedule (Appendix 5 of the Revised Development Specification & Framework 2009) approved under the 2010 Permission. The introduction of the Living Bridge is a beneficial addition to the Critical Infrastructure to be delivered by the scheme, further breaking down barriers across the A406 North Circular Road and providing enhanced integration between the northern and southern sides of the town centre. The phasing of the scheme is proposed to be amended to enlarge the Primary Development Package (ie Phase 1) from that previously consented. This is fully explained in the Planning Statement Addendum (BXC4), but the principal change is the delivery of the Brent Cross East Development Zone in full (rather than being split over 2 phases) together with an expanded commitment to deliver major items of Critical Infrastructure which are currently included in Phases 2 and 3 under the 2010 Permission -­‐ the additional Phase 1 infrastructure linked to development in Brent Cross East Zone will facilitate delivery of the town centre south of the A406 North Circular Road as well as enabling the full Brent Cross East Zone to be delivered in the first phase. A table at the end of this PREFACE Preface identifies the changes to floorspace in Phase 1 by Development Zone, and also shows the remaining floorspace in each Development Zone post Phase 1 which will be delivered in a subsequent phase. The revised Indicative Construction Programme in the Construction Impact Assessment Addendum (BXC21) shows that despite the enlarged scope of Phase 1, overall delivery of this floorspace will occur over a similar timescale to that set out in the previous Indicative Construction Programme. The enlarged Phase 1 will provide a greater commitment to invest in the initial stage of the development, including the additional critical infrastructure items, and will provide an even stronger basis for the comprehensive regeneration of the site as a whole in accordance with local and regional planning policy. All of the documents submitted in support of the original planning application have been reviewed in light of the proposed alterations to the conditions attached to the 2010 Permission, as well as any other change in circumstances. A Planning Statement (BXC4) was originally submitted in March 2008 (and updated by a Revised Addendum in March 2009) in support of the planning application which led to the 2010 Permission. The original Planning Statement and the Revised Addendum have been reviewed in light of the proposed alterations to the conditions attached to the 2010 Permission, as well as any other change in circumstances, and it is clear that whilst the planning policy framework under which the 2010 Permission was granted may have evolved, the thrust of policy is very similar and so many aspects of the original Planning Statement documentation continue to be relevant today. As a result the Section 73 application now submitted is supported by this Planning Statement Addendum (BXC4) which analyses the scheme, including the proposed changes to the 2010 Permission, in the context of the current planning policy framework, drawing on the original Planning Statement documentation as necessary. References in this document to ‘Development Partners’, ‘Applicant/s ’ or ‘Developer/s ’ are to be taken to mean the Brent Cross Partners in respect of Phase 1A (North), Phase 1B (North) and Phase 2 (North) of the Development and CRL in respect of the other Phases and Sub-­‐Phases of the Development.

The primary purpose of the application is to make adjustments to the planning conditions of the 2010 Permission to reflect the evolution in the scheme design and the revised strategy for delivery in accordance with the clear policy commitment to achieve comprehensive development of the regeneration area. The proposals contained in this application are identical in terms of quantums of development floorspace to the 2010 Permission, and its distribution across the Development Zones is consistent with the Zonal Floorspace Schedule (Appendix 5 of the Revised Development Specification & Framework 2009) approved under the 2010 Permission. The revised scheme represents an improvement on the permitted scheme but is not fundamentally different to that consented in 2010. 1.2 A Planning Statement (BXC4) was originally submitted in March 2008 (and updated by a Revised Addendum in March 2009) in support of the planning application which led to the 2010 Permission. The original Planning Statement and the Revised Addendum have been reviewed in light of the proposed alterations to the conditions attached to the 2010 Permission, as well as any other change in circumstances, and it is clear that whilst the planning policy framework under which the 2010 Permission was granted may have evolved, the thrust of policy is very similar and so many aspects of the original Planning Statement documentation continue to be relevant today. As a result the Section 73 application now submitted is supported by this Planning Statement Addendum (BXC4) which analyses the scheme, including the proposed changes to the 2010 Permission, in the context of the current planning policy framework, drawing on the original Planning Statement documentation as necessary. 1.3 The original Planning Statement (including updates from the Revised Addendum (March 2009)) is attached at Document 1 for ease of reference. This Planning Statement Addendum has been Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 2 produced to follow a similar structure to the original Planning Statement documentation, with appropriate cross referencing made where necessary. This Planning Statement Addendum is consequently set out as follows: Section 2: Factual Background – provides an overview of the application site and the 2010 Permission; Section 3: Application Proposals – explains the nature of the Section 73 application submitted and the evolution to the 2010 Permission; Section 4: Vision – reviews the objectives for the redevelopment of the Regeneration Area against the alterations to the scheme; Sections 5 ‐ 8: Policy Assessment – highlights how planning policy has evolved since the 2010 Permission and assesses the compliance of the proposed scheme, including the changes now sought to the conditions of the 2010 Permission, against those policies; Section 9: Regeneration Benefits – identifies the key benefits of the scheme, taking into account the proposed changes; Section 10: Delivery – this section sets out the approach to the phasing of the development in light of the proposed changes to the 2010 Permission; 1.4 Section 11: Conclusion – provides a summary of the findings of the document. It is not the intention of this document to repeat aspects of the original Planning Statement documentation where they continue to be relevant, and therefore appropriate cross referencing is made to Document 1 as necessary. Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 3 2 FACTUAL BACKGROUND a) 2.1 Application Site The BXC application site comprises an area of 151ha and is located within the London Borough of Barnet (“LBB”). The site includes Brent Cross Shopping Centre to the north, the A41 and Brent Cross London Underground Station to the east, Cricklewood Lane to the south and the A5 to the west. 2.2 The site represents a significantly underutilised area of brownfield land comprising industrial uses, former railway land and retailing premises surrounded by large areas of surface level car parking. Nevertheless, given its location at the connection between the M1 and the A406, BXC represents an underused gateway site into London. The potential of the site is reinforced by its connection with the A5 and A41, and its close proximity to the Northern Line at Brent Cross London Underground Station, the Midland mainline and Brent Cross bus station. 2.3 In view of its location and its current poor environment and urban structure, the application site has been identified for over a decade within regional and local planning policy for comprehensive and strategic redevelopment. 2.4 The extent of the application site boundary is identical to that which formed that basis of the 2010 Permission. A full description of the site is contained in Section 2 of the original Planning Statement (Document 1), which continues to remain accurate today and therefore is not repeated here. A copy of the site location plan is attached at Document 2 for ease of reference. b) 2.5 The 2010 Permission Planning permission for the redevelopment of the BXC regeneration area (Permission Ref: C/17559/08) was granted on 28 October 2010. The permission is for the regeneration of the BXC site to create a new Metropolitan town centre for LB Barnet and North London. 2.6 The scheme involved the regeneration of the areas north and south of the A406 to stitch together the damaged fabric of this extensive urban area. The permission authorised a phased development to create a sustainable town centre comprising attractive residential environments, a major Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 4 commercial core and a retail environment comprising an extended shopping centre and a new High Street on the south side. This will result in BXC becoming a vibrant place to live, work and socialise, providing a catalyst for further economic growth in the surrounding area. The scheme also provides the opportunity to create a high quality modern development within a mixed community providing local shops, restaurants, offices and schools. 2.7 The 2010 Permission was granted largely in outline, but with details provided for improvements to 9 strategic junctions providing access into the site, including the A41/A406 junction and the M1/A5/A406 junction. These junctions are identified and described in full in Section 3 of the Revised Development Specification & Framework (BXC1). 2.8 The proposals were supported by a set of Parameter Plans and a Development Specification & Framework which together provide the parameters and principles, as well as the framework of controls, for the realisation of the development. As a result conditions were imposed on the 2010 Permission which required all Reserved Matter Applications to be consistent with those approved parameters and principles. 2.9 The BXC Development Partners are proposing to make adjustments to some of these parameters and principles, via amendments to the planning conditions of the 2010 Permission, to reflect the evolution in the scheme design and the revised strategy for delivery in accordance with the clear policy commitment to achieve comprehensive development of the regeneration area. This is described in more detail in the following section. Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 5 3 3.1 THE SECTION 73 APPLICATION This planning application is made under Section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 for planning permission for the regeneration of BXC without complying with conditions attached to Planning Permission Ref No: C/17559/08 granted on 28 October 2010. The primary purpose of the application is to make adjustments to the planning conditions of the 2010 Permission to reflect the evolution in the scheme design and the revised strategy for delivery in accordance with the clear policy commitment to achieve comprehensive development of the regeneration area. The revised scheme has been improved but is not fundamentally different to that permitted in 2010. 3.2 The completed Application Forms (BXC1) which support this Section 73 application provide full details of the conditions that are proposed to be altered. For ease of reference a schedule of suggested changes to the conditions is attached at Document 3. 3.3 The changes sought to the conditions are required to facilitate enhancements to the design of the development, and facilitate the delivery of what is an important regeneration project not just for LBB, but London as a whole, as recognised in regional and local planning policy. The main thrust of the changes sought can be summarised as follows: Creation of a new pedestrian bridge (for the purposes of this application referred to as the “Living Bridge”) over the North Circular Road to improve pedestrian connectivity across the site and provide better integration between the northern and southern components of the development; Alterations to the layout of development within Brent Cross East Development Zone (ie around a remodelled Brent Cross Shopping Centre) creating physical interaction with the Living Bridge, as well as consequential amendments to the alignment of the River Brent; Alterations to the phasing of the development including to bring more of the Brent Cross East Development Zone and items of Critical Infrastructure into Phase 1; and Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 6 Alterations and improvements to the open space and public realm provision, including the reconfiguration of Brent Cross Square and Market Square to integrate with the Living Bridge. 3.4 These, and other changes, are designed to enable the strategic vision for comprehensive regeneration of the site to be delivered in a timely, effective and beneficial manner. Each of the above is described in more detail below. a) Living Bridge 3.5 The introduction of the Living Bridge is an important addition to the Critical Infrastructure to be delivered by the scheme, further breaking down barriers across the A406 North Circular Road and providing enhanced integration between the northern and southern sides of the town centre. 3.6 The 2010 Permission made significant strides to improving connectivity across the North Circular Road through the replacement Templehof Bridge (Ref B1 on Parameter Plan 003) and the A406 Pedestrian Bridge (Ref 4 on Parameter Plan 003). However, the introduction of the Living Bridge, in addition to these two bridges, represents an improvement to pedestrian connectivity. The northern and southern components of the town centre are anchored by Brent Cross Main Square and Market Square, which are now directly connected by the Living Bridge, allowing the benefits of the development to more readily straddle the physical divide of the North Circular Road, whilst also providing improved linkages to the surrounding communities and Clitterhouse Playing Fields. 3.7 Furthermore, the Living Bridge will act as an area of public realm, accommodating hard and soft landscaping and street furniture, to ensure the space feels part of the integrated town centre. The space may also accommodate retail pavilions and kiosks in due course, subject to the outcome of separate planning application. b) Brent Cross East Development Zone 3.8 Brent Cross East Development Zone, as shown on Parameter Plan 001, is the area around Brent Cross Shopping Centre. The introduction of the Living Bridge results in the need for consequential changes to be made to the layout of development in this Zone. Consistent with the 2010 Permission, the development continues to transform Brent Cross Shopping Centre from an inward facing facility, to Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 7 part of an outward facing network of streets and squares, thereby significantly improving routes and accessibility into the shopping centre from the immediate residential neighbourhood. 3.9 High Street North and Brent Cross Main Square act as focal points within the Zone, providing the link from the Living Bridge into the existing Shopping Centre. The High Street and Square may be partially or fully covered to provide weather protection throughout the year. Any cover would allow the penetration of significant amounts of natural light. Brent Cross Square will function across numerous levels, providing differing character areas and functions. 3.10 The Zone will continue to provide a full mix of uses including retail, leisure, residential, office, community and restaurants/cafes, as well as a high quality Bus Station. The inclusion of the Living Bridge and its integration with the built form of the town centre north of the A406 requires an amendment to the re‐alignment of the River Brent to a location further south than that shown in the 2010 Permission. Accommodating the river channel in this location enables a landscape and ecological corridor to be created along its entire length, which was not achievable in the heart of Brent Cross East zone in the 2010 Permission due to space constraints. The corridor continues to provide pedestrian and cycle routes, and interacts with the adjacent development plots, whilst also reducing the risk of flooding. 3.11 The new Bus Station occupies a broadly similar location to the 2010 Permission. The new layout of the proposed bus station ensures buses access the station from the westernmost access point and drop off passengers at the bus stops, which are covered but not enclosed. Buses then circulate into the enclosed section where they can layover in a covered section of the station underneath building overhead. Buses picking up passengers exit the station to the east. The bus station can be accessed by pedestrians from the Living Bridge and the pedestrian footbridge. The station can also be accessed directly from the Brent Cross East zone. From the Living Bridge pedestrians can gain access to the lower ground level by the lifts, escalator and stairs located at the westernmost end of the station. c) Phasing 3.12 The 2010 Permission provided details of the Primary Development Package (ie Phase 1), along with an Indicative Phasing Parameter Plan for the delivery of the remaining parts of the development. Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 8 This application proposes to amend conditions to enlarge Phase 1 from that previously consented. The principal change is the delivery of the Brent Cross East Development Zone in full (rather than being split over 2 phases), together with an expanded commitment to deliver major items of Critical Infrastructure which are currently included in Phases 2 and 3 under the 2010 Permission. This additional Phase 1 infrastructure linked to development in Brent Cross East Zone will facilitate delivery of the town centre south of the A406 North Circular Road as well as enabling the full Brent Cross East Zone to be delivered in the first phase. A table attached at Document 4 identifies the changes to the floorspace in the enlarged Phase 1, and also shows the remaining floorspace in each Development Zone post Phase 1 which will be delivered in subsequent phases. 3.13 The 2010 Permission broke down Phase 1 into three sub phases 1A, 1B and 1C. The table below identifies the content of each sub‐phase as proposed in this Section 73 application for Phases 1A and 1B North, Phases 1A and 1B South and Phase 1C. Significantly it identifies that a number of significant infrastructure items are being brought into Phase 1 including the M1/A406/A5 junction, new Brent Cross Bus Station, the full re‐alignment of the River Brent and associated landscaping/ecology enhancements, etc. This provides a significant basis for the comprehensive delivery of the development. Illustrative plans of the proposed sub phases are attached at Document 5.

The enlarged Phase 1 will provide a greater commitment to invest in the initial stage of the development, including the additional critical infrastructure items, and will provide an even stronger basis for the comprehensive regeneration of the site as a whole in accordance with local and regional planning policy. 3.15 The proposed changes to the conditions facilitate the revisions to Phase 1 (and consequentially some later Phases) through the Parameter Plans and the structure for the submission of Reserved Matters and scheme implementation. d) Open Space & Public Realm 3.16 The open space and public realm proposals formed a critical part of the 2010 Permission, and were set out primarily on Parameter Plan 003. This application proposes alterations to conditions to amend Parameter Plan 003 which result in an enhanced open space strategy. This is fully explained in the Revised Public Ream & Open Space Strategy (BXC7), but in summary the proposals provide a further net increase in open space/public realm from circa 8ha in the 2010 Permission to circa 9ha. This is provided through the introduction of the Living Bridge, as well as the creation of new threshold spaces within Brent Cross East Zone. 3.17 The Parameter Plans tied to the 2010 Permission via condition provide the physical controls for the delivery of the development. This application seeks to vary conditions relating to the Parameter Plans to facilitate a number of scheme enhancements, some of which are described above. An appendix in the Revised Design & Access Statement identifies the proposed changes to each plan and provides a comparison between that consented and proposed. For ease of reference a schedule is attached at Document 6 which explains the extent of the changes to each plan. In summary, these changes primarily relate to the introduction of the Living Bridge and the consequential changes that Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 12 are made to the layout of development within Brent Cross East Development Zone north of the A406, and the alterations to phasing. 3.18 A revised Illustrative Masterplan contained in the Revised Design & Access Statement (BXC3) has been prepared to show one way in which the scheme could be delivered in accordance with the revised Parameter Plans. This is attached Document 7, with the illustrative masterplan that supported the 2010 Permission attached at Document 8. 3.19 The proposals contained in this application are identical in terms of quantums of development floorspace to the 2010 Permission, and its distribution across the Development Zones is consistent with the Zonal Floorspace Schedule (Appendix 5 of the Revised Development Specification & Framework 2009) approved under the 2010 Permission. 3.20 The changes proposed to the conditions attached to the 2010 Permission are consistent with the principles established by the 2010 Permission and would not represent a fundamental alteration to the permitted scheme. Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 13 4 4.1 VISION Section 3 of the original Planning Statement identified an overall vision for the BXC site, as set out below: “The overall aim is to unite the regeneration area north and south of the A406 and to stitch together the damaged fabric of this extensive urban area. The Development Partners will create a sustainable town centre comprising attractive residential environments, a major commercial core and a retail environment along a new High Street. This will result in BXC becoming a vibrant place to live, work and socialise, providing a catalyst for further economic growth in the surrounding area. BXC represents an opportunity to create a high quality modern development within a mixed community providing local shops, restaurants, offices and schools”. 4.2 This overall vision remains unchanged and continues to be consistent with the amendments sought through this Section 73 application. 4.3 Against this overall vision, the original Planning Statement identified a number of specific objectives for the development. These objectives continue to be relevant to the scheme which forms the Section 73 application, as analysed below: Create an attractive mixed use vibrant town centre enabling new and existing residents to live, work and socialise ‐ the mix of uses and the floorspace quantum proposed throughout the Site remains unchanged from the 2010 Permission. The alterations to the layout of Brent Cross East Development Zone respond to the introduction of the Living Bridge and create a network of streets and squares that integrate into the existing Shopping Centre and the surrounding communities. The Living Bridge will improve pedestrian connectivity across the site, enabling the single town centre to better integrate across the physical barrier of the A406. The change in configuration of Market Square creates a flow of public realm from Brent Cross Main Square, across the Living Bridge, through Market Square and into Clitterhouse Playing Fields which is to undergo significant enhancements. The proposals therefore assist in unifying the scheme itself, but also improve integration with the surrounding residential areas. Finally, the revised re‐alignment of the River Brent enables the creation of a corridor which delivers Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 14 landscape and ecological enhancements along its full length, which is a benefit against the 2010 Permission; Develop a popular and accessible public transport offer – the proposals contained within the 2010 Permission for improvements to the public transport infrastructure remain unchanged as part of this application. The Brent Cross Bus Station has a slightly altered location and is likely to be partially covered by a building, compared to the 2010 Permission, but significantly the delivery of the Bus Station has been brought forward to Phase 1. Furthermore, the introduction of the Living Bridge will encourage additional pedestrian activity. The proposals continue to provide a major new railway station on the Midland Mainline, as well as the integrated pedestrian and cycle network including a collection of bridges linking into surrounding communities. Appropriate car parking standards continue to be promoted and the Framework Travel Plan will encourage use of public transport; An environmentally sustainable development which provides residents, workers and visitors with the opportunity to reduce their carbon footprint – the high quality and sustainability credentials of the 2010 Permission will be maintained, but in the context of the updated Building Regulations 2010 (rather than 2006 as was the case for the 2010 Permission). The development continues to promote (subject to stakeholder agreement and feasibility) the treatment of residual (non‐recyclable) waste to create a renewable fuel source for use in a combined heat and power (CHP) plant. This CHP plant will provide heat through a district heating network and power to the site, thereby creating a virtuous circle of energy and waste, which achieves significant reduction in carbon emissions via a locally generating renewable source. BXC will also continue to employ high standards of design and construction in line with the Mayor’s SPG (Sustainable Design and Construction May 2006), thus ensuring all future buildings are built in a sustainable manner. Furthermore, commercial buildings will achieve BREEAM ‘very good’ and residential properties will adhere to Code for Sustainable Homes level 4*; A high quality urban environment with a long term management regime – The Development Partners intend to create a high quality estate and ensure that a management structure is in Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 15 place to maintain this level of quality both during its realisation, but also following completion; and Create routes through the site, segregated where appropriate, to form seamless, safe and attractive corridors and ensure integration both of the site itself and with its surrounding community – the 2010 Permission sought to break down barriers to and within the site, principally though the creation of new bridges and pedestrian/cycle routes. These have been retained within the scheme but the introduction of the Living Bridge represents a significant improvement to addressing the main physical barrier on site (the A406), and the alterations to the configuration of the scheme as a result, improves the connectivity with the surrounding area, particularly Clitterhouse Playing Fields. 4.4 The scheme continues to respond positively to the above objectives, and in many instances the proposed changes to the conditions associated with the 2010 Permission are considered to enhance the contribution of the development to meeting those objectives. In particular, the introduction of the Living Bridge to create an additional link over the A406 provides a pedestrian and cyclist route through the entirety of the site. 4.5 Section 5 of the original Planning Statement provided a summary of the anticipated composition and characteristics for each Development Zone based on the illustrative masterplan. As described in Section 3 above, alterations occur to Brent Cross East, Eastern Lands and Market Quarter Development Zones, largely as a result of the introduction of the Living Bridge. The revised composition of each Development Zone is fully summarised in the Revised Design & Access Statement (BXC3). Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 16 5 5.1 POLICY ASSESSMENT Since the Planning Statement was prepared in support of the application which led to 2010 Permission the framework of planning policy has evolved. As a result, this and the following sections of this report provide an up to date assessment of the development against planning policy. 5.2 It is not the intention of these sections of the Addendum to repeat the full description of relevant planning policies as these have been provided within both the technical supporting application documents and the relevant chapters of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). The purpose of this section is to provide an overview of the current thrust of policy and consider how this differs from previous policy documents, and assess the compliance of the proposed scheme. 5.3 Since the 2010 Permission there have been several changes to the planning policy framework that need to be considered. The most significant changes are set out below: The London Plan (consolidated changes since 2004) (2008) has been replaced by the London Plan (2011); The Saved Policies of Barnet’s Unitary Development Plan (2006) have been replaced by Barnet’s Local Plan – Core Strategy (2012), with the exception of the policies contained in Chapter 12: Cricklewood, Brent Cross and West Hendon Regeneration Area; The adoption of the Barnet Development Management Policies in 2012; and National planning policy (PPSs and PPGs) have been replaced by the National Planning Policy Framework (“NPPF”) which was published in March 2012. 5.4 Overall, the general thrust of planning policy in respect of BXC has not changed significantly since the 2010 Permission. Planning policy continues to recognise BXC as a significant development opportunity which has the potential to deliver a large‐scale mixed use development whilst enhancing the retail offer of the Brent Cross Shopping Centre. Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 17 5.5 The remaining part of this Section, and the following two Sections, analyse the application proposals against relevant planning policies. The proposals are considered in these terms against each of the following topic areas: 5.6 Overall Need for Regeneration Planning Designations Policy Themes and Objectives ‐ Mixed Use ‐ Sustainability ‐ Creating a Sustainable Community ‐ Retailing ‐ Housing ‐ Employment ‐ Transport ‐ Open Space ‐ Design For ease of reference a schedule in Document 9 provides a summary of the impact of the proposals against relevant UDP policies and Development Framework guidance. a) 5.7 Overall Need for Regeneration The BXC site represents a significantly under utilised area of brownfield land, comprising old industrial land, dis‐used railway sidings, single storey retail warehousing and extensive surface level car parking. The site is in clear need of regeneration. In addition the site is located adjacent to major Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 18 transport corridors of the M1, A406, A41 and A5, as well as to the Midland Mainline and Northern London Underground Line. In view of this and given the strategic location of the site as a gateway into Central London and its close proximity to other growth regions i.e. A1/M1 corridor, there is clear potential for sustainable redevelopment. 5.8 In view of the strategic locational benefits of the site, the redevelopment of BXC is an opportunity now well established in planning policy. b) 5.9 London Plan The London Plan, published in July 2011 by the Greater London Authority (“GLA”), is the Spatial Development Strategy for London. It replaced “The London Plan, consolidated with alterations since 2004” (February 2008) which included the Early Alterations (December 2006) and Further Alterations (February 2008). 5.10 The vision set out within the London Plan (Policy 1.1) is underpinned by a number of objectives that seek to ensure London is (inter alia): Able to meet the challenges of economic and population growth in a sustainable way; An internationally competitive and successful city with a strong and diverse economy; A city of diverse, strong, secure and accessible neighbourhoods; A city that delights the senses and takes care over its buildings and streets; A city that becomes a world leader in improving the environment locally and globally including through tackling climate change, reducing pollution, developing a low carbon economy etc.; and A city where it is easy, safe and convenient for everyone to access jobs, opportunities and facilities with an efficient and effective transport system. Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 19 5.11 The London Plan (2011) identifies a number of geographical areas where different approaches to development are encouraged. In the first instance it divides London into a number of ‘Sub‐Regions’ (Map 2.1 of the London Plan, 2011). LB Barnet is within the North Sub‐Region. Map 2.2 identifies the geographical extent of three key areas: the Central Activities Zone; Inner London or Outer London. LB Barnet is within the Outer London zone. 5.12 The vision for Outer London (Policy 2.6) is to recognise and build on the great diversity and varied strengths found across this sub‐area. In terms of the economy, there will be a focus within Outer London on (inter alia): enabling existing sources of growth to perform more effectively; improving accessibility to competitive business locations; prioritising improvements to the business environment; identifying and bringing forward capacity in and around town centres; identifying and addressing local pockets of deprivation; ensuring the availability of an adequate number and appropriate range of homes to help attract and retain employees (Policy 2.7). 5.13 Transport in and around Outer London is addressed in Policy 2.8 which seeks to (inter alia): enhance accessibility within and between centres; integrate land use and transport; ensure that rail, bus and other transport networks function better as integrated systems; and encourage greater use of cycling and walking. 5.14 The London Plan (2011) like its predecessor continues to identify Opportunity Areas and Intensification Areas. BXC is one of 33 Opportunity Areas. Policy 2.13 indicates that the Mayor will provide proactive encouragement, support and leadership for partnerships preparing and implementing opportunity area planning frameworks to realize the growth potential in these areas. Policy 2.13 also states that development proposals within Opportunity Areas should (inter alia): Support the strategic policy directions for the opportunity areas set out in Annex 1 and adopted opportunity area planning frameworks; Seek to optimise residential and non‐residential output and densities, provide necessary social and other infrastructure to sustain growth, and where appropriate, contain a mix of uses; Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 20 Contribute towards meeting (or where appropriate, exceeding) the minimum guidelines for housing and/or indicative estimates for employment capacity; Support wider regeneration (including in particular improvements to environmental quality) and integrate development proposals to the surrounding areas especially areas for regeneration. 5.15 The BXC proposals satisfy each of the above criteria. The specific Opportunity Area requirement to optimise the number of jobs and homes within the new town centre demonstrates the need for a high density development. The creation of a new town centre accords with the Mayor’s vision for BXC and his polycentric view for promoting the role of town centres, which will fulfil a void in the town centre hierarchy of the North London sub region. 5.16 The supporting text to Policy 2.13 states that Opportunity Areas are the capital’s major reservoir of brownfield land with significant capacity to accommodate new housing, commercial and other development linked to existing or potential improvements to public transport accessibility. 5.17 Annex 1 of the London Plan (2011) sets the Opportunity Area an indicative employment capacity target of 20,000 jobs and a minimum new homes target of 10,000 units. The strategic policy direction for the opportunity area (which includes West Hendon) states that: ‘this area combines former railway lands and the wider hinterland surrounding Brent Cross regional shopping centre across the A406 North Circular Road. Brent Cross is to be redeveloped to become a town centre complementing the roles of other centres nearby and with an extended mix of town activities. This should include a significant increase in new housing together with local ancillary services. A rail station on the Cricklewood site is proposed and new development should be phased with improvements to public transport and accessibility. A site for a major waste facility within the area will form a key role in North London Waste Strategy. There is significant potential for improvement to the public realm including restoration of the River Brent’. 5.18 Annex 1 also defines the opportunity area planning framework for BXC as ‘adopted’. 5.19 Policy 2.16 identifies Strategic Outer London Development Centres. Table 2.1 identifies Brent Cross with a ‘retail’ strategic function and Brent Cross Cricklewood with a strategic office (subject to Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 21 demand) function of greater than sub‐regional importance. Policy 2.16 states that within these centres there will be a focus on: co‐ordinating public and private infrastructure investment; bringing forward adequate development capacity; placing a strong emphasis on creating a distinct and attractive business offer and public realm through design and mixed use development; and improving Londoners’ access to new employment opportunities. 5.20 The London Plan advocates the need for at least 10,000 new homes and 20,000 jobs across the entire regeneration area (including West Hendon). The BXC proposals provide approximately 7,500 homes (with West Hendon contributing around 2,000 homes, as well as other sites in the regeneration such as the former Parcel Force site) and in excess of the number of jobs that are indicated. This is in accordance with the Plan which intends to maximise the potential of Opportunity Areas. 5.21 The Plan advocates the need to make the most efficient use of brownfield land and recognises that in areas of high public transport accessibility densities should be maximised. The new town centre is envisaged to have a public transport accessibility level (PTAL) of 5/6 (the highest being 6) which reflects the extensive nature of facilities provided including a new railway station and enlarged Brent Cross bus station. In view of this the scheme embraces the high density, compact city agenda including density range in main areas of 217 to 386 dwellings per ha. In addition the scheme seeks to fulfil its potential to incorporate tall buildings at appropriate locations adjacent to major infrastructure, and away from existing residential areas. This enables BXC to respond to its gateway status at the junction between the M1 and A406 and provides the necessary emphasis for a town centre of metropolitan scale. c) 5.22 Local Planning Policy Barnet’s Core Strategy is one of a suite of documents forming the Local Plan. The Local Plan sets out the policies for delivering sustainable development in the Borough. The Core Strategy details the vision and objectives for the Borough over the plan period (to 2025/26), and a series of strategic policies. The policies contained within the Local Plan replace the majority of those within the UDP (2006), but importantly Chapter 12 of the UDP has not been replaced. Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 22 5.23 Map 2 provides the ‘Key Diagram’ for the Borough. BXC is a designated Regeneration/Development Area and Brent Cross Shopping Centre is identified as a Regional Shopping Centre. Brent Cross Cricklewood Regeneration Area is noted to be the subject of a planning permission granted in October 2010. As well as the provision of new homes (approximately 7,550 units) and jobs, and the transformation of the existing shopping centre, the proposals are expected to deliver a range of social, transport and green infrastructure. 5.24 Barnet is committed to a place‐shaping strategy which concentrates and consolidates housing and economic growth in well located areas that provide opportunities for development, creating a quality environment that will have positive impacts on the deprived neighbourhoods that surround them. 5.25 Policy CS2 sets out the broad policy framework and anticipated timescales for the redevelopment of BXC. The policy states that BXC is identified as an Opportunity Area in the London Plan and it will be a major focus for the creation of new jobs and homes, building upon the area’s strategic location and its key rail facilities. 5.26 The policy seeks the comprehensive redevelopment of BXC in accordance with the London Plan, the saved UDP policies (Chapter 12) and the adopted Brent Cross and West Hendon Development Framework. The policy describes this as providing the key elements of the local planning policy framework for deciding future planning applications unless and until replaced by new DPD or SPD as a result of the Local Plan Monitoring and review process. 5.27 The policy refers to specific monitoring indicators which the Council will have regard to in monitoring the progress made in the implementation and delivery of regeneration, including the achievement of important milestones towards the initiation of development described in the information box on BXC. The policy refers to an anticipation that a comprehensive redevelopment will start in Phase 1 at some point between 2015 and 2017. A key milestone for the regeneration of BXC is described as the Phase 1 Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO). The policy states that if by the end of 2014 any CPO required to deliver Phase 1 and commence the development has not been made and submitted for confirmation the Council will instigate a review of the policy framework for BXC. 5.28 The importance of BXC is reflected in saved UDP Policy GCrick which states: Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 23 “The Cricklewood, Brent Cross and West Hendon Regeneration Area, as defined on the proposals map, will be a major focus for the creation of new jobs and homes, building upon the areas strategic location and its key rail facilities. All new development will be built to the highest standards of design as well as to the highest environmental standards. A new town centre developed over the plan period, will be fully integrated into the regeneration scheme.” 5.29 The Council have also been directly involved in promoting development at BXC through the creation of a Development Framework (December 2005), prepared in conjunction with the GLA. The framework establishes a series of strategic principles for the redevelopment of the area, the overall vision for which is stated as: ‘To create a new gateway for London and a vibrant urban area for Barnet’. 5.30 In accordance with the UDP and Development Framework the BXC proposals recognise the need to create a high quality attractive environment which, together with the necessary long term management regime, will enable the realisation of a successful town centre, transforming the sites current negative perception. 5.31 The London Plan recognises the need to ensure the BXC development is realised with appropriate improvements to public transport infrastructure. This is also emphasised in Policy C7 of the UDP. As a result the scheme includes a new railway station, enlarged Brent Cross bus station, improvements to Brent Cross London Underground and improvements, if provided, to Cricklewood Railway station, as well as the new Living Bridge. Furthermore, an additional initiative to reduce reliance on the private car is the introduction of a sliding scale for residential parking which will reduce from a ratio of 1:1 to 0.7 over the life of the scheme. d) 5.32 Summary This section has demonstrated that a highly supportive planning policy framework continues to exist for the redevelopment of BXC to create a mixed use, high density town centre. Strategic policy fully supports the scale of the envisaged development which is anticipated to act as a catalyst for regeneration beyond the site to other areas of the Borough. The more detailed components of the Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 24 proposal which form the comprehensive town centre are addressed in the subsequent sections of this statement. 5.33 Strategic and local policy recognises the current poor urban structure and unsustainable uses on the BXC site which contribute little to creating an attractive, desirable environment. As a result policy emphasises the need to regenerate the site and integrate it with the surrounding community to create a piece of London. Having regard to the nature of the BXC proposals these objectives are clearly achieved in the scheme that is the subject of this application, as it was for the 2010 Permission. Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 25 6 6.1 POLICY ASSESSMENT: PLANNING DESIGNATIONS The application site falls entirely within the London Borough of Barnet as identified on the application site boundary, contained with Volume BXC1 of the application submission. 6.2 In accordance with Section 38 (6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, planning applications must be determined in accordance with the Development Plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. The statutory Development Plan constitutes the London Plan (2011), Barnet’s Local Plan – Core Strategy (2012) and Development Management Policies (2012), and the Saved Policies of Chapter 12 of Barnet’s UDP (2006). 6.3 The Proposals Map that formed part of the adopted UDP (2006) remains as the Proposals Map for the Local Plan, subject to amendments made through the Development Management Policies (2012) with regard to town centres, safeguarded employment areas, and areas of special archaeological significance as well as the area action plans for Colindale and Mill Hill East. 6.4 The Site is subject to a number of specific designations through planning policy including: Regeneration Area ‐ Barnet Local Plan – Core Strategy, 2012 (carried through from UDP, 2006); Site Specific Proposals ‐ Proposals Map (2006); Metropolitan Open Land and Parks ‐ Barnet Local Plan – Core Strategy, 2012 (carried through from UDP, 2006); Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC) ‐ Barnet Local Plan – Core Strategy, 2012 (carried through from UDP, 2006); and 6.5 Other Designations – Proposals Map (2006). The subsequent paragraphs of this section demonstrate how the proposals have responded to those designations. An extract of the Proposals Map is contained in Document 10. Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 26 a) 6.6 Regeneration Area Consistent with the consideration of the 2010 Permission, the application site falls within the Cricklewood, Brent Cross and West Hendon Regeneration Area, as defined by saved Policy GCrick of the Barnet UDP. The designation of the area derives from the London Plan which it identifies as an ‘Opportunity Area’ capable of accommodating significant housing, jobs and community infrastructure. The Council’s aspirations for the site are that it be a major focus for the creation of new jobs and homes, building upon the area’s strategic location. The Council seeks the creation of a new town centre comprising a mix of uses with a pedestrian friendly environment. The scale and mixed use nature of the proposals is consistent with the Council’s aspirations for development of this significant site. 6.7 The proposals represent a single planning application for the comprehensive regeneration of the entire BXC area, which satisfies saved UDP Policy C1. Furthermore, consistent with saved UDP Policy C1a, proposals have been advanced independently for West Hendon and are therefore not included with this proposal, although the BXC scheme is consistent with it and the social infrastructure is complementary, as acknowledged in the Social Infrastructure Report Addendum (BXC10). b) 6.8 Site Specific Proposals Parts of the Site are subject to site‐specific proposals as shown in the Proposals Map (2006). The aspirations for these sites are set out below: Brent Cross New Town Centre (Site 31) – new town centre, comprising a mix of appropriate uses, improved public transport and pedestrian access, landscaping and diversion of the River Brent; Cricklewood Eastern Lands (Site 37) – mixed use including residential, office, leisure, local and neighbourhood shops, education, community uses and open space; New Railway Station Cricklewood (Site 38) – railway station and public transport interchange; New Waste Transfer Station (Site 39) – waste handling facility. Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 27 6.9 These aspirations are incorporated into the proposed scheme (as they were for the 2010 Permission) through the inclusion of a mix of uses in the Eastern Lands, the provision of new mainline train station in the Station Quarter zone and Waste Handling Facility in the Railway Lands zone. c) 6.10 Metropolitan Open Land and Parks Clitterhouse Playing Fields is identified as Metropolitan Open Land. The Local Plan – Core Strategy (2012) (Policy CS7) sets out a general presumption for the protection of MOL. The Policy also seeks specifically to secure additional on‐site open space at Brent Cross Cricklewood, namely 8ha. 6.11 Consistent with the 2010 Permission, the proposals continue to retain and enhance the existing parks of Claremont Open Space, Sturgess Park and Clitterhouse Playing Fields. Any development within these parks is ancillary to its use as an open space in order to enhance its quality and accessibility to the existing and new communities on‐site and in the surrounding area. 6.12 As envisaged in the Development Framework and consistent with the 2010 Permission, the scheme continues to involve the loss of Clarefield Park and small triangles of land off Brent Terrace. However, the area lost will be reprovided in new open spaces, particularly Eastern Park and Brent Terrace Park, and overall there will be a net increase of 9ha of open space (1ha more than the 2010 Permission and that specified in the Local Plan). Furthermore, improvements to Clitterhouse Playing Fields Part 1 (excluding the Nature Park) and Claremont Park are to be undertaken in Phase 1A North. Taken in the context of the wider regeneration benefits accruing from the scheme, it is considered that the loss of an existing area of open space is appropriately mitigated and consistent with the Development Framework. 6.13 Map 10 of the Core Strategy identifies (as its predecessor in the UDP did) that a small area to the south‐western corner of the application site is deficient in open space at the local park level. The proposals continue to provide a number of new open spaces resulting in an overall increase in the quantum and quality of open space on‐site, which has increased since the 2010 Permission as a result of the introduction of the Living Bridge and other threshold spaces within Brent Cross East Development Zone. In addition, Parameter Plan 003 shows that the Scheme continues to provide green spaces in the south western area of the Site including Brent Terrace Park and the Railway Lands Nature Park, as well as urban squares such as Station Square, Gas Governor Square and, if provided, Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 28 Cricklewood Station Square. These vary in size from 2.0ha (Brent Terrace Park) to 0.1ha (Cricklewood Station Square) and thus addresses the current deficiencies. d) 6.14 Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC) Clitterhouse Playing Fields and Clarefield Park are designated within the Proposals Map as Sites of Local Importance for Nature Conservation. Barnet’s Local Plan – Core Strategy (2012) seeks to protect existing SINCs and encourages the enhancement of biodiversity across the Borough. 6.15 As proposed in the 2010 Permission, the nature conservation status of Clitterhouse Playing Fields is improved by the application proposals, particularly through the creation of a dedicated nature park within the overall area. 6.16 The loss of Clarefield Park is considered to result in an adverse impact of local significance. However, as with the 2010 Permission, the proposals create new and enhance existing areas of open space which will create a variety of habitats, including Eastern Park and Brent Terrace Park, as well as improvements to the River Brent Corridor and Clitterhouse Playing Fields. The proposals now submitted are consistent with the 2010 Permission, and the loss of Clarefield Park is entirely consistent with the Development Framework. Furthermore, as stated above improvements to Clitterhouse Playing Fields Part 1 (excluding the Nature Park) and Claremont Park are to be undertaken in Phase 1A North. 6.17 Taking into account the positive benefits arising as a result of the scheme in respect of open space and biodiversity, it is considered that the loss of Clarefield Park from the Site (prior to its re‐provision) is appropriately mitigated, particularly through the early improvement of existing spaces. e) 6.18 Other Designations The River Brent flows into the Welsh Harp Reservoir which is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Whilst the Reservoir is outside the Site boundary, the proposals do involve re‐routing the River where it flows through the Site and also works to enhance the river. The revised re‐alignment now proposed is south of the location identified in the 2010 Permission, the benefit of which is that it creates a more natural flow, habitat and bank profile, together with a series of riparian habitats, which were not fully achievable at the heart of the Brent Cross East zone in the 2010 Permission. The Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 29 replacement river is considered to lead to a positive impact on nature conservation up to Borough significance. In addition, the restoration has the potential to benefit bird conservation. This proposed change further enhances the positive impact of the proposals. No detrimental impact is expected on the Welsh Harp Reservoir. 6.19 Cricklewood and Clitterhouse Farm (Child’s Hill Sub‐Area 3a) are designated as areas of archaeological significance. Consistent with the conclusions of the 2010 Permission, the archaeological assessment found no direct evidence that archaeological remains are present within the Site. However, a number of areas of the Site were identified as potential sources of remains. Overall, whilst it may not be possible to prevent archaeological resources being disturbed, it will be a priority to ensure that any sites and finds are fully recorded and preserved in situ, where appropriate and practicable in line with Local Plan – Core Strategy Policy CS5. 6.20 The Proposals Map shows that pipeline installations cross the Site along Claremont Road, Marble Road and Hendon Way. As with the 2010 Permission, the scheme continues to propose to relocate this gas main under new road infrastructure in specific locations in the Eastern Lands zone, where some conflict occurs with proposed development plots. As such the scheme conforms to Saved UDP Policy C11 which requires developers to provide for the infrastructure, facilities and services necessary to support the regeneration of the area. 6.21 A view line from Golders Hill Park towards Harrow‐on‐the‐Hill crosses the middle of the Site and is identified as a view and landmark (shown on Map 8 of the Core Strategy – Local Plan). However, viewpoints on Golders Hill are very limited. The Visual Impact Assessment included within the Environmental Statement which accompanies this application confirms that whilst the development will be visible in the view from Golders Hill Park, there is no adverse impact on the quality of the vista overall. 6.22 A group of properties referred to as the Railway Terraces which are located beyond the south western boundary of the Site, is designated as a Conservation Area shown on the Proposals Map and referred to within the Local Plan – Core Strategy (2012). This designation is subject to Policy CS5 which seeks to proactively protect and enhance Barnet’s heritage including conservation areas. The 2010 Permission is guided by a number of design principles which include limiting the height of buildings nearby, setting buildings back from the Conservation Area and the provision of a landscape Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 30 buffer. These principles remain and the Visual Impact Assessment carried out as part of this application continues to conclude that the view from the Conservation Area into the development has no significant impact on the character and setting of the area. 6.23 The Flood Risk Assessment (BXC16), which supports the application submission, has confirmed that the improvements of the re‐aligned River Brent significantly reduce the risk of flood. In view of this the proposals are in accordance with Policy CS13. f) 6.24 Summary This section has demonstrated that the application proposals continue to respond positively to the planning policy designations of the adopted Core Strategy and saved policies of the UDP. Where impacts are recorded, such as Policy CS7, the section outlines the mitigation measures that will be incorporated to minimise any resultant impact. No additional impacts have been recorded beyond those that were identified in the proposals that led to the 2010 Permission. Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 31 7 7.1 POLICY ASSESSMENT: POLICY THEMES AND OBJECTIVES This section of the statement analyses the application proposals against various planning policy themes and topics as identified in the original Planning Statement. a) 7.2 Mixed Use Mixed use development is supported at all levels of planning policy. The NPPF (2012) recognises the role that mixed use development can play in promoting healthy lifestyles by encouraging interactions between different sections of the community. 7.3 The Saved UDP Policies (2006) and the Development Framework (2005) highlight the importance of mixed use development across the entire Site, with particular emphasis within Eastern Lands which is set a target in the Development Framework to accommodate between 25%‐35% non‐residential floorspace. 7.4 The Zonal Floorspace Schedule contained within the Revised Development Specification & Framework (BXC1) confirms that the proposals achieve the principle of mixed‐use development as required by planning policy. The Schedule also confirms that the Eastern Lands land use composition falls slightly below the target set in the Development Framework at 23%, as was the case with the 2010 Permission. Furthermore, Table 11 within Section 6 of the Revised Development Specification and Framework confirms there to be a mix of uses in the enlarged Phase 1, especially within Brent Cross East Zone (ie Phase 1A and 1B North). 7.5 The proposals therefore meet the clear imperative for mixed‐use development advocated at national, regional and local tiers of planning policy. The provision in the Eastern Lands falls slightly below the 25‐35% non‐residential mixed use target in the Development Framework, although the Development Framework acknowledges that where this is the case it should not be a barrier to achieving regeneration and this approach is identical to the 2010 Permission. Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 32 b) 7.6 Sustainability Sustainable development is at the heart of the Government’s aspirations for the planning system. The NPPF (2012) highlights that sustainable development can be achieved through three specific roles of the planning system including: economic, social and environmental. There is also a commitment to tackling climate change and reducing carbon dioxide emissions. 7.7 Regional and local planning policy requires new development to demonstrate how the energy hierarchy has been considered. Other requirements of policy include avoiding internal overheating; efficient use of natural resources; minimising pollution and minimising the generation of waste. 7.8 Full details of the schemes approach to sustainability and energy are set out in the Revised Environmental Sustainability Statement (BXC8) and the Revised Energy Statement (BXC9). In embracing the sustainability agenda the Scheme continues to seek to incorporate technology that can treat residual (non‐recyclable) waste at the new Waste Handling Facility (WHF) to create a refuse derived fuel (RDF) (subject to feasibility). This fuel will be used in a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant and will provide heat and power to the Site. The implications of this system on energy and waste is that the Site is unable to accommodate the civic amenity facility envisaged in the Development Framework. Whilst this is a deviation from Development Framework guidance, the energy and sustainability benefits of the scheme overall are considered to significantly outweigh this loss, and the approach is consistent with the 2010 Permission. 7.9 In terms of social sustainability the development provides a range of housing to create mixed and balanced communities and the necessary social infrastructure to meet the needs of the new and existing population. In economic terms, the Scheme seeks to enhance the role of the Site across the sub‐region by broadening the mix of uses. The range of commercial floorspace provided will ensure that there are significant employment opportunities for people of all skill levels. Environmentally, the Scheme will improve and enhance the provision of open space and biodiversity across the Site, particularly following the revised realignment of the River Brent. The performance standards of the buildings on‐site will also be maximised in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from the Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 33 Scheme. Specifically, residential buildings will achieve Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4*, with commercial buildings achieving BREEAM ‘Very Good’. 7.10 As set out in more detail in the Revised Environmental Sustainability Statement and Revised Energy Statement the proposals respond to regional and local planning policy, including the carbon reduction targets of the London Plan (which have changed since the 2010 Permission). Residential and commercial buildings will achieve a reduction in carbon emissions of 40% and 25% respectively against Building Regulations Part 2 2010. c) 7.11 Creating a Sustainable Community Planning policy at all spatial levels requires proposals to achieve mixed and balanced communities to ensure the sustainability of the development, as well as a good quality of life for those who live, work or visit. 7.12 At present, Brent Cross Shopping Centre stands isolated on the site, physically detached from the existing communities, uses and facilities to the south of the A406 North Circular Road. A key objective for the regeneration of the area is to broaden the range of uses/services available as part of the Shopping Centre to create a town centre which serves a role for neighbouring communities and also the wider area. The full mix of uses proposed as set out in the Zonal Floorspace Schedule, particularly within Brent Cross East Zone (ie Phases 1A and 1B North), confirm that this is achieved. 7.13 In order to ensure the housing growth proposed at the Site (approximately 7,500 units) was complemented by the provision of social infrastructure commensurate to the demand created by the new population, a Social Infrastructure Strategy was prepared to accompany the application which led to the 2010 Permission. This helped to inform the evolution of the masterplan in terms of the quantity and scale of community facilities required. The conclusions of this work have been reviewed in the Social Infrastructure Report Addendum (BXC10) submitted in support of this application and it has been concluded that the facilities provided within the 2010 Permission continue to be appropriate, which includes: Q20027 October 2013 Community facilities – 3,046sqm Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 34 Healthcare facilities (including primary health centre) – 4,150sqm Education facilities (including the replacement of Whitefield and Mapledown Secondary Schools and the replacement of Claremont Primary School); 7.14 Open space – net additional provision of 9ha (an increase of 1ha from the 2010 Permission). This quantum of community facilities provision has been agreed through discussions with key stakeholders including the local authority in order to inform and influence the evolution of social infrastructure proposals at BXC. 7.15 The assessment of the number of residents (including children) has been updated to reflect the Council’s updated child yield methodology and has been sensitivity checked against 2011 Census figures. Overall, the changes to the population expected to be accommodated by the Section 73 Scheme are not significant from those assessed previously. 7.16 Since the 2010 Permission, there has been a reduction in the surplus capacity of local primary schools. This may mean there will not be sufficient capacity to meet the needs of children accommodated by residential development in Phase 1, prior to the completion of the expanded Claremont School. For this reason, there may be a need for temporary provision to meet demand until the expansion of Claremont School has been completed. The Applicant is offering that this will be funded by additional financial contributions for Phases 1B (North) and Phase 2 (North) based on the methodology set out in the Council’s SPD on Planning Obligations on a per dwelling basis (excluding the Whitefield Estate Replacement Units), which will be used by the Council to provide additional school places. In the longer term, the proposed education campus contains sufficient consented floorspace to provide for additional primary school provision should that be required based on monitoring of later phases. 7.17 To reflect the change in phasing and ensure that appropriate mitigation is available throughout the revised phasing, financial contributions towards health facilities in the locality are offered that will be secured in the S106 Agreement in respect of Phases 1B (North) and 2 (North) on a per dwelling basis based on the GP and primary capital element of the current Healthy Urban Development Unit Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 35 (HUDU) model and payable for each of those phases within 14 days of the first commencement of the dwellings in the respective phase. 7.18 The application also includes a range of open spaces and public realm areas, which now also includes the proposed Living Bridge over the A406 and three additional threshold spaces in Brent Cross East Development Zone (a net increase of 9ha, more than the 2010 Permission). These combine to create opportunities for active lifestyles in an urban environment and promote the use of sustainable forms of transport including cycling and walking. In particular the ability to walk from Clitterhouse Playing Fields, through Market Square, over the North Circular into Brent Cross Main Square is a significant benefit of the Living Bridge and these application proposals. 7.19 It is recognised that the physical provision of social infrastructure alone is only the initial part of a commitment towards creating and sustaining a successful town centre, and mixed and balanced communities. As such an Estate Management Strategy (BXC13) was prepared as part of the application which led to the 2010 Permission to set out the role the proposed Estate Management Company will play in ensuring the proposed floorspace is used and maintained in a manner that will maximise benefit to the new community. 7.20 Open space provision throughout the Site is set out in detail later in this section and also within the (BXC7) and the Revised Design and Access Statement (BXC3). The Regeneration Strategy Addendum (BXC12) sets out a commitment to ensuring that opportunities for education and skills training are capitalised on. Overall, the proposals continue to respond positively to regional and local planning policy. d) 7.21 Retailing The London Plan (2011), Barnet Local Plan – Core Strategy (2012) and the saved policies of the Barnet UDP (2006), together with the Development Framework, recognise the need for additional retail floorspace as part of a mixed use town centre in order for BXC to fulfil a Metropolitan Town Centre role. The 2010 Permission included a net additional increase of 93,468sqm of Class A1‐A5 retail floorspace (including Brent South Shopping Park), which facilitated the creation of a retail heart to the new town centre, and also neighbourhood retail services to satisfy the day to day shopping needs Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 36 of the new resident and working population. The application is supported by a Retail Report Addendum (BXC6) which considers matters in detail, with the following key conclusions. 7.22 The application proposals now submitted fully accord with an up to date Development Plan and are consistent with the 2010 Permission granted in October 2010. The Development Plan supports the creation of a new town centre at Brent Cross Cricklewood including the provision of comparison and convenience floorspace together with a range of other town centre uses. 7.23 There is a substantial and growing quantitative need for additional retail floorspace to serve the needs of north west residents and the workforce. The scale of the need means that it cannot be met by existing centres alone. Indeed existing centres within the inner catchment have limited capacity to absorb need either through gains in floorspace efficiency or new floorspace. Hence, the London Plan, Barnet Core Strategy, saved policies of the Barnet UDP and the Development Framework specifically identify BXC as an appropriate location to focus retail growth as part of a mixed use town centre. 7.24 Consistent with the 2010 Permission, the application proposals seek planning consent for an additional 5,773sqm gross (taking account of the demolition of existing retail floorspace excluding Brent South Shopping Park) neighbourhood comparison goods floorspace over the high order 55,000sqm (gross) within town centre north. This floorspace will be comprised within the replacement foodstore and unit shops forming High Street South, which is supported by the Development Plan policy to ensure a full mix of uses is provided within town centre south, complementing those in town centre north. Indeed the Development Framework states at Page 53 that town centre south is to have “a varied and rich mix of uses reflecting its location in the town centre. The uses will be complementary to those on the north side of the A406 North Circular Road. These will include hotels, leisure, office, residential, convenience retail, cafés, bars, restaurants, live work space, cultural and arts activities”. 7.25 This floorspace supports the ‘high order’ retail north of the A406 and serves the day to day needs of the new population as well as serving a critical role in animating the public realm particularly the new High Street, and will not have any adverse impact on adjacent town centres. Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 37 7.26 Furthermore, as per the 2010 Permission, 11,433sqm gross convenience floorspace (taking account of the demolition of existing convenience floorspace) is proposed. Saved Policy C1 of the UDP requires the development to be in accordance with the Development Framework, and that Development Framework states that the town centre should include “20,000sqm of convenience shopping” (page 28). The proposed convenience floorspace predominately comprised a relocated foodstore (potentially to be occupied as a Tesco Extra store) located within town centre south which would effectively compete with other comparable out of centre superstores. The remaining floorspace consists of a range of smaller unit shops, which serve the day to day needs of the resident and working population of the new town centre. 7.27 BXC is the most sustainable location to meet the retail needs of the area, as set out in the London Plan, Barnet Core Strategy, saved policies of the Barnet UDP and the Development Framework. 7.28 The up to date health check analysis demonstrates each centre to be trading healthily and the impact assessment concludes that the proposals will have no harmful impact upon the role and function of existing shopping centres within the catchment area, and will not prejudice any planned or committed investment. 7.29 Overall, the application proposals are consistent with regional and local planning policy and guidance, and that recently granted planning permission. e) 7.30 Housing The Government’s planning policy for housing is contained within the NPPF (2012), which requires LPAs to meet objectively assessed need and deliver housing which provides people with a choice about where they live and the type of accommodation available. The Local Plan – Core Strategy (2012) states that the Council will seek at least 22,550 additional homes up to 2025/26. The Scheme proposes in the region of 7,500 dwellings. Therefore, the development will contribute significantly towards the targets set out in Policy CS3. The proposals also comply with Saved UDP Policy C9, which seeks a minimum 5,000 units at BXC. Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 38 7.31 The mixed use proposals within the development, together with the high level of public transport accessibility (including through improvements to bus services) and proximity to open spaces including Clitterhouse Playing Fields, make the Site well suited to high density residential development. Indeed, having regard to the improvements to Brent Cross London Underground station and, if provided, Cricklewood station, as well as the new rail and bus stations, the Consolidated Transport Assessment Report accompanying the application (BXC5) has identified the Site as having a PTAL rating of 5‐6, thus demonstrating the high level of accessibility. 7.32 An objective of the residential development at the Site is to incorporate innovative urban design and architecture to create outstanding benefits in terms of design and contribution to the Council's regeneration objectives. The current proposals set out the principles for development, however, detailed design is a reserved matter, and in these circumstances it is not possible to identify the final impact of the proposals on design. Parameters for heights and massing have been provided to allow the principal visual effects of the proposals to be assessed, as well as design principles set out in the Revised Design Guidelines (BXC3). Therefore only limited analysis of the design of the proposals against policy requirements is appropriate. 7.33 Policy 3.8 of the London Plan (2011) and Policy CS4 of the Local Plan – Core Strategy (2012) encourage a range of mix of dwelling types and size in order to meet housing needs. The intended housing mix, as set out in the Revised Development Specification & Framework (BXC1), confirms that the proposals will include a range of housing types and tenure. The Development Framework identifies a slightly different mix to that proposed. The Housing Strategy Addendum (BXC14) explains that the mix reflects the targets in the Development Framework albeit slightly modified to account of local housing need and also reflect the anticipated demand that will result from the development, which is envisaged to be slightly different to the boroughs current demands. This approach is consistent with the 2010 Permission. 7.34 In relation to housing tenure, 15% of the proposed housing will be affordable as a minimum subject to the potential for increase through a viability review mechanism with a target of 30% and a maximum of 50% if viable. London Plan Policy 3.11 requires LPAs to maximise their affordable housing provision but allows Boroughs themselves to set their own affordable housing targets. Policy Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 39 CS4 of the Local Plan – Core Strategy applies a borough wide target of 40% affordable housing on sites of 10 dwellings or more. The proposals will provide the maximum reasonable provision in line with the London Plan policy, but fall short of the borough wide target in Policy CS4 if not achieved through the review mechanism (although the 40% is noted not to be a site specific target). However, Policy 3.11 recognises that in seeking to achieve their affordable housing targets LPAs should take into account other considerations including: the need to promote mixed and balanced communities; and the viability of future development. In addition, the NPPF requires that the deliverability of sites and the scale of development should not be subject to such a scale of obligation/policy burden that their ability to be developed viably is threatened (para.173). 7.35 The Applicants continue to propose an affordable housing review mechanism, as set out in the 2010 Permission, that allows the affordable housing level to be reviewed at specific points during the development, based upon specific criteria including funding and viability. 7.36 The Scheme will comply with Lifetime Homes standards, to the extent that they can be practically achieved, given this proposal seeks to deliver a high density, mixed use development. This is acknowledged in the Development Framework which states that ‘it is recognised that the physical characteristics of the area do not necessarily lend themselves to this in every location’ (Page 36). The development also provides 10% wheelchair housing on the same basis, meeting London Plan Policy 3.8 and Local Plan – Core Strategy Policy CS4. 7.37 Overall, it is considered that the scheme will continue to broadly comply with housing related planning policy requirements set out at the national, regional and local level. The inclusion of a affordable housing review mechanism meets the ‘maximum reasonable’ test of London Plan Policy 3.11, and ensures the scheme makes a full contribution to LBB’s borough wide target of 40% secured through the review mechanism (subject to a minimum 15% provision with the potential for increase as mentioned above), having regard to the various other priorities for the site as set out in the Development Framework. Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 40 f) 7.38 Employment The NPPF (2012) requires planning authorities to ensure that there is sufficient land available to support economic growth, particularly in areas well served by transport infrastructure. New development is encouraged in locations that minimises the length and number of trips in places that can be served by more efficient modes of transport. 7.39 The London Plan (2011) indicates that the BXC Opportunity Area has the capacity to deliver an additional 20,000 jobs to 2031. Saved UDP Policy C10 requires the provision of a range of employment floorspace within the proposals, recognising that the regeneration area has the potential to become a significant commercial centre and as such endorses a full range of business uses (Use Classes B1 – B8) as well as rail freight and waste facilities. Furthermore, the Development Framework anticipates a commercial district adjacent to the new main line railway station comprising predominantly office accommodation. 7.40 In this context and consistent with the 2010 Permission, the scheme comprises 395,297sqm of business floorspace as part of the mixed‐use proposals for the Regeneration Area, as well as rail freight and waste facilities. Other employment floorspace provision, which also remains consistent with the 2010 Permission, includes: 7.41 Retail – 110,927sqm Leisure – 26,078sqm Industrial – 61,315sqm Community facilities (including health and education) – 34,615sqm In total it is estimated that the site will deliver 27,000 new jobs, which exceeds the London Plan requirement. 7.42 There is requirement in Local Plan – Core Strategy (2012) Policy CS8 that as well as the delivery of a range of employment floorspace to meet a variety of needs over the plan period, development Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 41 proposals should commit to deliver employment and training initiatives in consultation with Barnet’s Skills Development and Employability Group. 7.43 In compliance with this requirement and in addition to the physical provision of employment floorspace on‐site, the 2010 Permission also supports a range of initiatives in order to ensure the benefits of regeneration are enjoyed locally. These initiatives continue to form part of the development and are set out in detail within the Regeneration Strategy Addendum (BXC12) but are summarised below: Representation of the Development Partners on a steering group which will oversee the implementation of the Skills Development Plan/Skills Employment and Enterprise Action Plan to ensure that it reflects the current opportunities available at BXC; Engagement with local schools, colleges and people to inform and engage them on career opportunities the Scheme could offer them; Encouragement of contractors and tenants to use their best endeavours to engage with guiding training provision and also in developing specific customised and recruitment activities; and Links with outreach activities in Barnet and with activities in neighbouring boroughs to ensure employment and training opportunities for local people are maximised. 7.44 In view of the employment requirements of strategic and local policy, it is considered that the BXC proposals continue to directly meet the policy aspirations. Furthermore, the Regeneration Strategy Addendum confirms how the proposals will act as a catalyst for regeneration in surrounding areas. 7.45 BXC provides a range of employment opportunities as a result of the diverse mix of uses proposed. This significantly enhances opportunities beyond those currently available at the site and is supplemented by an array of initiatives which seek to ensure that sufficient training and access to these jobs is provided for the local community. Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 42 g) 7.46 Transport A key transport principle is to encourage development in accessible locations which will reduce the need for travel, promote the use of public transport and other non‐car modes, and reduce the number and journey lengths of trips which are made by car. 7.47 Both London Plan Policy 6.1 and Local Plan – Core Strategy Policy CS9 state that proposals with a potential for significant trip generation should be located in places which are or will be made highly accessible. Access should be by a range of modes of transport in particular public transport, walking and cycling. 7.48 The application site is bounded and bisected by major transport routes and the saved policies of the UDP highlight that it is essential that the Scheme exploit this resource in a sustainable manner. 7.49 The NPPF requires all developments that generate significant amounts of movement to be supported by a Transport Assessment, with decisions taking into account a number of matters including whether improvements can be undertaken within the transport network that cost effectively limit the significant impacts of the development. Development should only be prevented or refused on transport grounds where the residual cumulative impacts of development are severe. 7.50 Paragraph 12.3.20 of saved Chapter 12 of the UDP states that the provision of bridges across the North Circular Road and Midland Mainline are vital to achieving sustainable regeneration, in particular the replacement Templehof Bridge which is to link town centre north and south. The 2010 Permission responded to this requirement through the provision of a series of bridges including a replacement to the Templehof Bridge, however, the proposals now submitted also introduce an additional bridge, the Living Bridge, which will have a pedestrian priority and assist navigate the physical barrier caused by the A406 linking together Brent Cross Main Square and Market Square. 7.51 Saved UDP Policy C7 specifically states a number of key criteria which should be provided as part of the proposals. As shown in the table below, they have been fully incorporated within the proposals now submitted, and as such have a positive impact on the policy. Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 43 Criteria of Policy C7 A – Connections and/or improvements to the strategic road network that are satisfactory to Transport for London in relation to the TLRN and the Highways Agency in relation to the M1 motorway. B – Sufficient transport links to and through the development, in particular this should include at least one vehicular link across the North Circular and one vehicular link crossing the railway to the Edgware Road. Application Response As with the 2010 Permission, the application proposes improvements to a number of key junctions around the application site i.e. A406/A5/M1 and A41/A406, which have been prepared in conjunction with TfL, HA and LBB. A replacement of Templehof Bridge has been provided as well as a new link road over the midland mainline. Furthermore, 4 pedestrian bridges are provided to improve accessibility within the site as well as linkage with surrounding areas. In addition, this application introduces the Living Bridge which will span the A406 and provide a pedestrian linkage between Brent Cross and Market Squares. C – A new railway and bus station at Cricklewood, integrated with facilities for other public transport services and key trip generating sites within the development by a rapid transport system to Brent Cross bus station and Hendon Central and/or Brent Cross Underground Stations on the Northern Line. The integration should include the Edgeware branch of the London Underground Northern Line. A new Transport Interchange is proposed combining rail and bus facilities. An enhanced bus service will provide efficient linkages between an expanded Brent Cross bus station, and improved Brent Cross London Underground and, if provided, Cricklewood railway station. D – A new bus station at Brent Cross, north of the North Circular with associated improvements to the local bus infrastructure. E – Provision to upgrade the rail freight facilities to increase the potential for distribution of goods by rail for use by businesses in North London F – Provision of an enhanced rail linked waste transfer station serving north London. Brent Cross bus station is to be expanded and relocated, as well as improvements to the local bus network, as per the 2010 Permission. Rail freight facility re‐provided to the west of the midland mainline consistent with the 2010 Permission. G – Priority measures for access to disabled person, pedestrians, buses and cyclists throughout the regeneration area. Waste handling facility re‐provided west of the midland mainline, opposite the new rail station, continues to form part of the scheme. A pedestrian and cycle network connecting to the surrounding area has been developed, and the requirements of disabled persons has been considered as set out in the supporting Revised Design and Access Statement. This will be set out in detail in the Area Wide Pedestrian and Cycle Study. 7.52 The forecourt works for the rapid transit service (RTS) at Brent Cross London Underground and Cricklewood Stations remain part of the proposals now submitted. However, as set out in the Transport Assessment (BXC5) there is no specific requirement for a dedicated RTS because significant Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 44 capacity is anticipated to be available on other bus services to cater for the demand related to the development, particularly in Phase 1. The Consolidated Transport Fund in the Section 106 Agreement has ear marked funds for an increase in bus services locally. As a result there is no necessity (as defined in the NPPF) for a planning condition or obligation in respect of the provision or funding of these works, however, as permission is sought for them the Transport Advisory Group (as set out in the Section 106 Agreement) could decide to allocate funds for its delivery if it chose to do so. 7.53 The application also continues to include proposals for step free access at Brent Cross London Underground and Cricklewood Stations. Funding remains in the Consolidated Transport Fund in the Section 106 Agreement for step free access feasibility studies, along with funding to contribute to the improvements at Brent Cross London Underground. The Consolidated Transport Fund does not include funding for the step free access at Cricklewood Station. The Transport Assessment modelling forecasts that Phase 1 will generate limited numbers of additional passengers at Cricklewood station, and it therefore follows that there will also be very few disabled persons requiring step free access as a result of Phase 1 of the development. Consequently, the step free access works at the existing Cricklewood Station are not considered a mitigation necessity of the scheme and are unnecessary. Furthermore, this needs to be considered in the context of improvements that are being made in Phase 1 including step free access at new Brent Cross Bus Station, the Living Bridge, and the contribution to step free at Brent Cross London Underground, as well as future step free access at the BXC railway station. This approach is considered consistent with Core Strategy Policy CS9 and saved UDP Policy C7. 7.54 The London Plan (2011), Saved UDP Policy C8 and the Development Framework all set out car‐parking and cycle parking standards for proposals. These and the way in which the Scheme respond to them are set out in the table below, which is identical to the 2010 Permission. Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 45 Use London Plan Policy 6.13 Saved UDP Policy C8 Development Framework BXC 1‐2 bedrooms = less than 1 per unit 1 space per unit 1 space per unit Sliding scale from 1:1 to 0.7 space per unit 1 space per 300sqm 1 space per 300sqm 1 space per 300sqm No further car‐ parking No further car‐ parking for retail and leisure only No additional retail and leisure parking. Additional parking provided for the hotel development as per standard below 1 space per 2 bedrooms, plus 1 space per 5 seats for conference facilities 1 space per 2 bedrooms, plus 1 space per 5 seats for conference facilities 1 space per 2 bedrooms, plus 1 space per 5 seats for conference facilities Parking only for disabled passengers and staff and pick‐ up and set down Parking only for disabled passengers and staff and pick‐ up and set‐down Parking only for disabled passengers and staff, and pick up and set‐down ‐ ‐ 1 space per 2‐4 beds 1 space per 3‐5 staff 1 space per 3‐5 staff 1 space per 5 staff 3 bedrooms = 1.5‐1 per unit Housing 4+ bedrooms = 2‐1.5 per unit Business (B1/B2) 1 space per 100‐ 600sqm Retail, Leisure and Hotels within New Town Centre North Hotels out of town centre Foodstore – over 2,500sqm = 1 space per 25‐38sqm in PTAL 5‐6 Non‐food = 1 space per 40‐60sqm in PTAL 5‐6 n/a Cricklewood Railway Station n/a Private hospital n/a Community facilities n/a 7.55 As with the 2010 Permission, the scheme involves the relocation of an existing foodstore in the Eastern Lands zone. The existing car‐parking spaces associated with this foodstore will be re‐provided and there is potential to make these available as shared town centre parking, with additional spaces Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 46 for the increase in floorspace based on specific London Plan policy standards for foodstores e.g. 1 space per 25‐38sqm. 7.56 The parking levels proposed within the Scheme accord with the majority of the above standards. In line with London Plan policy the development will seek to reduce reliance upon the private car. One measure is to adopt a sliding scale to residential car parking standards, which will reduce from a ratio of 1:1 to toward 0.7 as the scheme evolves. This deviates from local policy, however, given the significant enhancements to public transport including, car clubs and an efficient walking and cycling network, it is not considered to result in an adverse impact. Furthermore, consistent with the Development Framework the scheme provides car parking for the hotel component north of the A406, which is at odds with the UDP. The Development Partners have sought commercial advice and concern has been raised that to attract a high quality operator, as is envisaged, dedicated parking would be required. In view of this, and as the parking extends to only circa 180 spaces, the impact is considered minimal. The approach is consistent with the 2010 Permission. 7.57 The Consolidated Transport Assessment Report (BXC5) which forms part of the application documentation considers how transport‐specific planning policies have been addressed. In summary it is considered that the transport facilities developed as a result of the implementation of the BXC development proposals will represent a significant improvement to the efficiency and sustainability of transportation in the area. The Section 73 proposals make number of minor changes to the 2010 Permission, all of which are aimed at improving the overall scheme and, as has been demonstrated in the Section 73 Transport Report (BXC 5, Vol 5), do not prove to be detrimental to the effective delivery of the proposals. The transport impact of the BXC proposals in light of the section 73 application is therefore considered to be both desirable and acceptable and will provide significant transport benefits to the existing surrounding community as well as create an enjoyable and safe environment for all those living, working and playing in the new town centre. h) 7.58 Open Space The development includes a series of open spaces, as shown on Parameter Plan 003. As demonstrated the Revised Public Realm & Open Space Strategy (BXC7), open space is provided Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 47 throughout the development zones to offer amenity and recreation resources for the new development and surrounding areas. 7.59 Local Plan – Core Strategy Policy CS7 and Map 10 identifies a small element of the Site to the south west as being deficient in local parks, and states that the Council will seek to negotiate additional provision, where possible. The Scheme comprises a range of new spaces particularly in the southern area, including Gas Governor Square, Railway Land Nature Park as well as improvements to Millennium Green. This satisfies the local park deficiency at this part of the site, consistent with the approach in the 2010 Permission. 7.60 The introduction of the Living Bridge across the A406 not only provides an additional link between the northern and southern elements of the Site, acting as a link between the focal points of Brent Cross Main Square and Market Square, but also provides a further area of public realm which can be utilised by residents, workers and visitors. The Living Bridge would further enhance the physical integration of the northern and southern elements of the town centre beyond that shown in the 2010 Permission. Furthermore, the reconfiguration of Brent Cross East Zone has created three additional threshold squares, namely Layfield Place, Fenwick Place and Templehof Circus. As a result the net increase in public realm/open space as a result of the scheme rises to 9ha, from 8ha in the 2010 Permission (full details are provided in the Revised Public Realm & Open Space Strategy). 7.61 The Development Framework notes that the Council will not support a net loss in open space, however, in the event that loss of existing spaces cannot be avoided, a like for like replacement will be necessary. These principles have been adhered in order to provide mitigation against the loss of Clarefield Park and Brent Terrace triangles, through the creation of new spaces including Eastern Park. Furthermore, the scheme provides improvements to Clitterhouse Playing Fields Part 1 (excluding the Nature Park) and Claremont Park in Phase 1A (North), before a temporary replacement space is provided in Phase 1B (South). 7.62 The scheme has developed a set of private amenity standards for the development (which are explained in the Revised Design and Access Statement), reflecting the high density nature of the development. Playspace provision reflects the Mayor’s latest supplementary guidance. Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 48 7.63 The Scheme creates an effective network of public realm, not only through the creation of new spaces, but also enhancing existing poorly managed and maintained spaces. Overall, after the mitigation of the loss of Clarefield Park (which is consistent with the Development Framework) it is considered that the Scheme accords with planning policy in respect of open space and public realm provision. i) 7.64 Design Planning policy at all spatial levels stresses the importance of good design in creating successful sustainable environments. Whilst detailed design has been reserved for future determination, the Revised Design and Statement (BXC3) defines key aspects of the proposals to ensure the effects of the scheme can be adequately assessed and that good design is assured. As explained in the Revised Design and Access Statement (BXC3), the definition of the proposed uses, the circulation roads, urban structure, network of open spaces and massing of buildings respond to the following urban design objectives contained in national and local planning policy: Create a sense of place with new urban and landscape strategies; Generate an integrated urban system, connecting fabric, public spaces, uses and road systems to their existing context; and Create a socially and economically integrated piece of city through a mixture of uses and tenures. 7.65 The creation of an efficient urban structure is vital to the success of the new town centre, particularly in ensuring the needs of pedestrians and cyclists are fulfilled, and the Living Bridge acts as a significant component. As such Parameter Plan 003 identifies a hierarchy of streets and cycle routes which seek to facilitate ease of movement. This structure was built on the guidance within the Development Framework and in particular Figure 18, but it has been evolved to reflect current design aspirations for the site, specifically the Living Bridge. Central to the structure is the High Street which achieves a core planning policy objective spanning the A406. The character of the High Street reflects that advocated in the Development Framework, including pedestrian friendly in High Street North and Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 49 multi‐modal in High Street South. Its orientation across the A406 via the new Living Bridge provides improved pedestrian facilities between the northern and southern components of the town centre, with Templehof Bridge still playing a role in movement across the site. 7.66 The Development Framework identifies an indicative street hierarchy in Figure 18. In terms of secondary and tertiary routes, the document notes that the locations are flexible, but that significant alterations to secondary routes would need to be justified. The current proposals conform to the general thrust of this layout. The only alteration to the secondary routes is the location of the new vehicular route through the Eastern Lands from the A41. The location has changed slightly to enable the creation of an education campus. This is within the generality of the Development Framework layout and no overall impact is recorded, consistent with the 2010 Permission. Brent Cross Main Square and High Street North may be partially or fully covered to provide weather protection throughout the year. Any cover will allow the penetration of significant amounts of natural light. 7.67 The proposals include a number of tall buildings. Policy 7.7 of the London Plan (2011) acknowledges the scope for tall buildings in Opportunity Areas. It states that tall buildings will be appropriate where they create attractive landmarks which enhance London's character, help to provide a coherent location for economic clusters of related activities and act as a catalyst for regeneration. 7.68 The Development Framework encourages the location of tall buildings to respond to the surrounding context of the area, suggesting the most suitable locations will be adjacent to major infrastructure including the A41/A406 and A406/M1/A5 junctions. Furthermore the Development Framework notes that lower buildings will be expected to form the transition to existing residential areas. As such the Framework identifies a series of concept height thresholds (identified in Figure 19), based on a range of building typologies to visually demonstrate the generic principles for building heights across the Site. 7.69 The application is supported by Parameter Plan 007 which defines the maximum building heights across the Site – alterations have been made to the maximum heights in certain locations to reflect the revised configuration of the scheme as a result of the Living Bridge. This has reflected the ethos of the Development Framework where in general buildings step up in height from south to north to Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 50 respond to the existing residential context, particularly adjacent to Clitterhouse Playing Fields and Brent Terrace. 7.70 The Development Framework applies blanket concept height thresholds to wide areas of the Site to demonstrate the general principle of building heights. In preparing the application, the Scheme has been refined in more detail, in particular to consider the amenity requirements of perimeter blocks, as promoted on Page 41 of the Development Framework. As a result, elements of the Parameter Plan exceed the heights within the illustrative concept plan of the Development Framework, to allow for innovative design solutions, such as raised corner feature to maximise internal sunlight/daylight. This explained in more detail in the Revised Design and Access Statement (BXC3). 7.71 The application identifies thresholds for the length, width and height of any building which may come forward within the Scheme. Thresholds have been developed for specific parts of the Site and are explained in the Revised Development Specification and Framework (BXC1). 7.72 In view of the above, the proposed development (including the alterations to height from the 2010 Permission) is considered to be consistent with design guidelines of planning policy. Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 51 8 8.1 POLICY ASSESSMENT: OVERALL SUMMARY Similar to the outcome of the policy assessment in the Planning Statement which supported the application that led to the 2010 Permission, the previous sections of this report have identified the following aspects where the Scheme is not in complete conformity with planning policy. These are identified and considered in turn below. Under provision of affordable housing (Local Plan Policy CS4) ‐ Policy CS4 seeks to achieve a borough wide target of 40% affordable housing on all developments providing 10 homes or more. There is a clear need for the redevelopment of the Site, not only in seeking to address site‐specific circumstances, but to achieve the wider benefits for the Borough and sub‐region, and ultimately London. BXC as an Opportunity Area is a site earmarked to accommodate significant residential and economic growth. The proposed development is a complex regeneration scheme, which in addition to providing a range of residential accommodation, requires extensive physical infrastructure, land remediation and a significant response to the impacts of climate change resulting in substantial expenditure. In view of the costs associated with the Scheme, the proposals contribute 15% as a minimum subject to the potential for increase through a viability review mechanism with a target of 30% and a maximum of 50% if viable toward the Borough‐wide 40% target. This approach is consistent with London Plan Policy 3.11. The provision of affordable housing, therefore, takes into account identified needs of the Borough and reflects the substantial costs of providing the required regeneration, not only in addressing existing site constraints i.e. remediation, but also the provision of various elements of infrastructure including energy, waste and transportation. In view of this, the provision and balance of affordable housing is considered appropriate and accords with the local need identified by the Council. Furthermore, the applicant will continue to provide a mechanism that enables the percentage of affordable housing to increase, subject to a change in the key value and cost inputs affecting the viability of the Scheme. Loss of Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC) (Local Plan Policy CS7) – the proposals involve the loss of Clarefield Park which is identified in the Proposals Map as a SINC. The Park will be re‐provided elsewhere on the Site and overall, the Scheme provides an Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 52 additional 9ha of open space (specifically at Eastern Park and along the River Brent corridor), 1ha more than the 2010 Permission (details of which are set out in the Revised Public Realm & Open Space Strategy). All open space and public realm will be of a high quality and will substantially improve the nature conservation value of the Regeneration Area as a whole. The Ecology chapter of the Environmental Statement has confirmed that the proposed mitigation is appropriate to address the loss of Clarefield Park. It is, therefore, considered that the proposals represent an overall benefit. This is consistent with the 2010 Permission and the Development Framework. Car‐parking provision (London Plan Policy 6.13; Saved UDP Policy C8; and Development Framework) ‐ In relation to residential car parking, the proposals to adopt a sliding scale are in line with the London Plan (2011) emphasis on reducing the reliance of the private car, but contrary to the relevant saved UDP policy. The development seeks to create a sustainable and accessible town centre and as a result the public transport improvements proposed (expanded bus station, new railway station, improvements to Brent Cross Underground and, if provided, Cricklewood railway station, improved bus services) and the high quality walking and cycling network provide a number of alternatives to use of the private car. Indeed, the Site has been assessed as having a Public Transport Accessibility Level (PTAL) of 5‐6. In view of the above, the reduced residential car parking standard is considered acceptable. In accordance with the Development Framework, the Scheme seeks to provide car parking to the hotel component north of the A406. However, this is at odds with the UDP which prevents any further parking north of the A406 for such uses. The Development Partners have sought commercial advice in designing this element of the Scheme and concern has been raised that a high quality operator, of the type sought at BXC, would be unlikely to locate in such premises without dedicated car parking. In view of this, and given that it is only likely to result in approximately 180 spaces, the impact is considered minimal. This is consistent with the approach in the 2010 Permission. Rapid Transport System (RTS) (Local Plan CS9) ‐ The Core Strategy seeks the provision of a dedicated bus system to link the key interchanges and destinations within the regeneration area. However, as set out in the Transport Assessment (BXC5) the modelling has forecast that there is no specific requirement for a dedicated RTS because significant capacity is anticipated to be Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 53 available on other bus services to cater for the demand related to the development, particularly in Phase 1. As a result there is no necessity for these works to be provided, as the needs can be adequately met be existing services. As a result the overall impact is considered minimal. Policy C10 (UDP) ‐ There is a discrepancy in the UDP Proposals Map with regard to the rail related employment land and mixed use land of Policy C10 resulting in a conflict between Policy C10 and Policy C1, but Policy C1 is the dominant policy and should be afforded greater weight, as was determined by the Council in granting the 2010 Permission. Deviation to prescribed housing mix (Development Framework) ‐ The Housing Strategy Addendum (BXC14) prepared in support of the application has identified a residential mix which deviates slightly from that suggested in the Development Framework. The proposed mix has evolved having regard to local housing needs in the area, and also the needs of the Scheme in seeking to create a balanced community. The evolution of the housing mix is in line with the requirements of the NPPF (2012). This is consistent with the approach in the 2010 Permission. Shortfall in non‐residential mix of uses in Eastern Land Development Zone (Development Framework) ‐ The Development Framework (2005) seeks a non‐residential mixed use provision of between 25‐35% in the Eastern Lands Development Zone. The Zonal Floorspace Schedule indicates that the Eastern Lands zone currently provides 23% mixed use which represents a slight shortfall against the target. However, the Development Framework states that the target will be subject to market demand and that it should not become a barrier to achieving sustainable physical, environmental and socio economic regeneration. In view of this and given that the provision is only marginally below the target, it is considered that the proposals fulfil the mixed use objective sought within the guidance. This is consistent with the approach in the 2010 Permission. Provision of Civic Amenity Site (Development Framework) – The Development Framework (2005) seeks the re‐provision of the existing waste transfer station into new high quality premises. This objective has been achieved in the regeneration proposals. The Development Framework provides details on the nature of this facility, which includes the provision of a civic Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 54 amenity site. The Applicant is intending to realise the opportunity presented at the new waste facility by treating residual (non‐recyclable) waste to create a fuel for a CHP plant, which will provide heat and power to the Site (subject to feasibility). This creates a virtuous circle of energy and waste, and reduces the amount of waste transported to landfill. However, due to the restricted nature of the Site it is not possible to provide the required technology and the civic amenity premises. There are clearly significant energy and sustainability benefits to the proposed approach, which are unlikely to be possible on many other sites in the UK. In view of this and given the benefits of the proposals, the impact is considered minimal. 8.2 Overall, the amendments to the conditions of the 2010 Permission have a positive impact in terms of the policy assessment – the above conflicts were identified as part of the assessment for the 2010 Permission. The Scheme remains broadly in compliance with the majority of policy requirements in the context of the themes and topics considered in the preceding three sections. Where conflicts with policy have been identified, these remain unchanged as well as their justification from the application associated with the 2010 Permission. Section 36 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act requires proposals to be in accordance with the Development Plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. In this instance, it is considered that the substantial regeneration and sustainability benefits outweigh what are considered to be small impacts on some planning policies. Overall, a positive impact is identified and the proposals are considered to be in accordance with the Development Plan as a whole. Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 55 9 9.1 REGENERATION BENEFITS Section 9 of the original Planning Statement set out the regeneration benefits associated with the 2010 Permission. 9.2 The proposed changes now sought to the conditions of the 2010 Permission do not change the overall regeneration benefits of the redevelopment of BXC. Indeed, it is considered that the regeneration benefits are enhanced by the proposals particularly through the introduction of the ‘Living Bridge’ which provides significant pedestrian connectivity improvements and better integrates the northern and southern components of the town centre. The Living Bridge, as well as providing an additional link over the A406 and the River Brent, also creates a more natural flow between the hub of the northern element from Brent Cross Main Square and High Street North directly through to the focus of activity in the south e.g. Market Square and High Street South. 9.3 The realignment of the River Brent also enables the gap between the development on the north and south side of the A406 to be reduced and thus draws the two elements of the Site closer together. This contributes to the integration of the north and south of the Site and to the comprehensive redevelopment of the Site as a single entity. Matters of deliverability are dealt with in Section 10. 9.4 In all other respects, the benefits of the proposed development are as identified in the original Planning Statement. For ease of reference, the benefits have been summarised below. Remediation of contaminated land – the current and previous uses on the Site (such as chemical works plant, petrol filling station and gas works) have resulted in the contamination of the land. In order to create a high quality and safe place, it is necessary for the proposals to address the existing contamination that currently blights the Site and remediate the land to satisfactory levels; Visual appearance – at present, the appearance of the Site is dominated by fragmented land uses and car‐parking and is assessed to have a low quality visual appearance. The scheme intends to remove the existing inefficient land uses and integrate the area into a single town centre. The development would see the introduction of a network of streets and squares defined Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 56 and enclosed by buildings creating a significantly improved urban environment. The buildings are to be designed and constructed to a high standard and Revised Design Guidelines (BXC3) are in place to ensure development is brought forward to a consistent high standard over the construction period. It is considered that the scheme will create a significant improvement to the overall visual appearance of the Site; Employment – the Site in its current form offers limited employment opportunities. Those jobs that are available are typically within the retail sector reflecting the nature of the existing uses on Site. The scheme introduces a mix of uses including a range of employment‐generating floorspace which will improve not only the quantum of jobs on‐site but also the diversity of employment opportunities. The Applicant is committed to a establishing a series of initiatives which seek to ensure employment opportunities are available and accessible to local people. These benefits are expected to be enjoyed at not only the local level but also the wider strategic level due to the accessibility of the Site by a number of transport modes; Integrated Town Centre – the Site at present is home to a number of low quality and under‐ utilised areas of land but also Brent Cross Shopping Centre. The Shopping Centre is inward looking and doesn’t currently function as a ‘town centre’ which typically offers a range of services and facilities. The development will transform the Site into an integrated town centre environment by increasing the quantum of retail floorspace and introducing a range of uses to the Site including community, health and educational facilities. The mix of uses will enable residents, workers and visitors to make sustainable decisions in terms of their travel and other life choices; Transport – the isolation and fragmentation of different land uses of the existing Site means that it is unable to fulfil its potential. The scheme includes a comprehensive package of transport proposals including: a comprehensive network of pedestrian and cycle routes which improve access across the Site; improved access across the physical barriers surrounding the Site by a series of new high quality bridges including the Living Bridge; improvements to Brent Cross London Underground and Cricklewood stations; new bus and rail stations; enhanced vehicular traffic movement within and around the Site; upgraded bus routes; and constrained car‐parking Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 57 standards to reduce the dominance of parking across the Site. Overall, these will deliver significant benefits not only for people using the Site but also across the Borough and beyond. Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 58 10 DELIVERY 10.1 The redevelopment of BXC is recognised as being a highly complex scheme, not only in terms of the scale of the Site but also due to the number of existing uses on the Site and the need to provide replacement buildings/facilities before existing premises can be demolished. 10.2 The overarching approach to the delivery of the Scheme remains unchanged in light of this Section 73 application – namely, the need for the early parts of the development to integrate land north and south of the A406. The Applicant, therefore, is committed to the delivery of critical infrastructure to facilitate deliver of the ‘Primary Development Package’ (PDP) ie Phase 1, and the changes to the enlarged PDP in this application enhance this infrastructure commitment. 10.3 The 2010 Permission highlighted the need to ensure the programme of delivery was flexible to take into account changing circumstances, whilst also providing sufficient assurances that the relevant physical and social infrastructure is delivered at the appropriate time. Hence in addition to planning conditions identifying the trigger to each infrastructure item, a detailed delivery programme was to be prepared identifying the time for its delivery. The application now submitted seeks amongst other matters to vary conditions of the 2010 10.4 Permission to amend Phase 1. The main change proposed is the introduction of the entire Brent Cross East Development Zone, rather then it being split over 2 phases. Aligned to this is the commitment to deliver major items of critical infrastructure (ie M1/A5/A406 Junction, new bus station, full River Brent alignment, etc) in Phase 1, rather than Phases 2 and 3 as per the 2010 Permission. 10.5 The 2010 Permission defined Phase 1 as sub phases 1A, 1B and 1C. The table below identifies the content of each sub phase as proposed in this application ie Phases 1A and 1B North, Phases 1A and 1B South, and Phase 1C. Illustrative plans of the proposed sub phases are attached at Document 5.

Ensuring its commitment as part of Phase 1A (North) therefore provides a significant start on the comprehensive delivery of the development. 10.7 Sub Phase 1B (North) contains the development plots in Brent Cross East Zone and other related items of critical infrastructure. Phase 1B (South) and Phase 1C contain plots south of the A406, the main critical infrastructure for which will have already been provided in Phase 1A (North). 10.8 The local and regional planning policy framework for BXC seeks to facilitate the comprehensive regeneration of the site. The London Plan does not contain any specific policies dealing with phasing. Furthermore, the Core Strategy and saved UDP do not contain specific phasing policies, although the need for comprehensive development is emphasised. Policy C6 identifies a series of requirements for the new town centre which are addressed through the scheme as a whole, but also in part through Sub Phases 1A (North) and 1B (North). The Development Framework identifies a series of Phase 1 milestones, which are positively 10.9 addressed through Phase 1 and specifically Sub Phase 1A (North) and 1B (North) as set out below: Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 62 Core components of the town centre are assembled – the ‘core components’ of the town centre are not defined but Policy C6 sets out a range of criteria which are positively addressed; New bus station built – Achieved; Redevelopment of West Hendon started – N/A; Improvements to existing infrastructure underway – significant vehicular and pedestrian infrastructure enhancements are delivered including A406/A5/M1 Junction, A41/A406 Junction, replacement Templehof Bridge, new Living Bridge, etc. In addition significant upgrades to open space and the realignment of the River Brent (and associated landscape and biodiversity enhancements) are delivered; New bridge over the A406 – Both Templehof Bridge and the Living Bridge are delivered; Improvements to Clitterhouse Playing Fields – provided in Phase 1 A North overall. 10.10 The delivery strategy principles of the Development Framework also note that development must take place on both sides of the A406 at the same time and be manifest in Phase 1. The proposed composition of Phase 1A (North) satisfies this guidance through the delivery of significant infrastructure north and south of the A406, against which plot development in Sub Phase 1B (North) and 1B (South) can also commence. 10.11 Overall, the revised composition of Phase 1, in particular Sub Phase 1A (North) and 1B (North), contain a commitment to deliver significant critical infrastructure items, which will facilitate delivery of the town centre south of the A406 as well as enable the full Brent Cross East Zone (and its associated economic and social benefits) to be delivered. This approach to Phase 1 is considered to accord with the Development Plan as a whole, including the requirement of comprehensive development and will ensure that economic benefits from this important scheme are delivered in the short term. Q20027 October 2013 Brent Cross Cricklewood Planning Statement Addendum 63 11 CONCLUSIONS 11.1 The BXC regeneration proposals will achieve the comprehensive redevelopment of a currently underused brownfield site. The regeneration of BXC is heavily supported in strategic and local planning policy, recognising the benefits that can be achieved not only to the site itself, but also the wider Borough. 11.2 The scheme comprises an array of uses that are consistent with the creation of a new town centre embedded within the community, delivering a high quality environment and range of homes and jobs. This statement has demonstrated that the principle and quantity of the core components of the Section 73 scheme are a function of an integrated policy initiative, which links the London Plan, Core Strategy, UDP and Development Framework and are sufficient to create a successful new town centre environment.
