ITEM 02: 2A Queen Anne’s Gardens, Chiswick W4 1TU - P/2010/2355
Amended Recommendation
Condition 3 shall be amended to the following:
All windows in the northern elevation and the proposed window to the landing on the eastern elevation
of the approved scheme shall be fixed shut and be fitted with obscure glazing and permanently
maintained as such. The first floor rear window to the bedroom/ study area in the eastern elevation
shall be obscure glazed, and permanently maintained as such.
Reason: To prevent overlooking and loss of privacy in the interests of the amenities of the
neighbouring properties, in accordance with policies 4.1, 5.5 and 5.9 of the adopted Ealing Unitary
Development Plan: 'Plan for the Environment' (2004).
Further Written Representations
A further objection letter was received from a previous objector stating:
In the first application this was an obscure window; this has not been shown in the revised application
and no reference has been made in the report although the half landing staircase window is shown
obscure.
The first floor window directly overlooks our garden and is only 2.1m away horizontally from it.
Therefore the window should also be obscure and non-opening. Without this there will be a
fundamental and gross intrusion on the privacy and enjoyment of the private space of 9 Woodstock
Road. It will definitely be provocative to intrusion and aggravated feeling.
As it is we will be staring directly into the ground floor windows and vice versa and these should be
partially obscure with perhaps an obscure central section and clear surround.
Officer’s response: This has been addressed in the amended condition. It is now recommended that
the first floor rear window will be obscure glazed.

-1 additional letter of objection was received from a local residential property. The points of objection
made in this letter are the same as those listed at page 7 of the planning officer’s report.
-1 additional letter was received from a local resident with the following additional points:

Requests additional s.106 contributions for the benefit of the local community:
(i) £10,000 towards maintenance and management work at the local allotments adjacent to the
Piggeries site.
(ii). Financial contribution towards the provision of refuse bins, chemical dog loos, and oak
benches along the towpath near the development.
(iii) Financial contribution towards the provision of tree planting at the end of Belvedere Road to
block the industrial units from view.
(iv). Introduction of a 20 mph speed limit in Olde Hanwell especially Humes Avenue/St
Margaret’s Road and introduction of traffic calming or a speed camera on Trumpers Way.
Case Officer’s Response: The developer agrees to the principle of (i) a £10,000 financial
contribution towards maintenance and management work at the local allotments adjacent to the
Piggeries site, but only provided the requirement for the existing financial contribution of
£12,000 for a clear and surface towpath access on north side of Trumpers Way is removed.
The developer states that the existing stepped access between the north side of Trumpers Way
and the towpath is adequate. This access has recently been upgraded. The Council’s Transport
department have no objection to this.
The developer agrees to a financial contribution of £4,000 towards (ii) the provision of refuse
bins, chemical dog loos, and oak benches along the towpath near the development, and (iii) the
provision of tree planting at the end of Belvedere Road to block the industrial units from view.
The developer’s Transport Consultants and the Council’s Transport departments have
considered the provision of a 20mph speed limit on local roads, assessed the need in respect of
highway safety and concluded this is unnecessary.
The Transport department have checked the accident records of the area and there have been
no reported personal injury accidents on the local roads in last three years.
Transport have also noted the Planning Inspector’s comments on the previous appeal for a 120
dwelling development, which concluded that the road network would be able to accommodate
the additional traffic generated by the development. The current proposal at 73 dwellings is
significantly less intensive than that previous scheme.

objection to this development.

2. Landscaping is required between the mansion block and the canal.
3. A green roof is recommended for the mansion block building.
Case Officer’s Response: Planning conditions have been added regarding hard and soft landscaping,
the canal buffer zone and landscaping management to satisfy the points 1 & 2 made by Parks and
Countryside. It is not possible to provide a green roof on the mansion block building as the roof of this
building would contain solar water heating panels. However the industrial building would be provided
with a green roof.
Energy Officer:
1. The residential aspect of this development should meet the higher standard of
sustainable design and construction, renewable energy and energy efficiency known
as Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4.
Case Officer’s Response: The developer has agreed to meet this higher standard and planning
condition 21 has been revised accordingly (see above).

- One additional letter was received from a local resident whose father lives next to the new main
entrance (no address provided) raising the following points:
- Queried how busy the new main entrance would be, whether any replacement of gates, brickwork
and pavement would be required to make a road surface for vehicles. Trees on the site are overgrown
into their property
Case Officer’s Response: An email was sent to the consultee advising the new entrance would be
replacing the current main entrance to the school from Conway Crescent. Therefore it is expected that
the amount of vehicular and pedestrian traffic at the new entrance to Thames Avenue would be similar
to that currently experienced at the existing Conway Crescent entrance. The proposal would involve
removing the pavement and installing a 'road surface' for vehicular access at this entrance. It is also
proposed to re-landscape the entrance and other areas; full details of the landscaping would be
requested via a condition attached to the planning permission. Such details would have to be submitted
before the development commences

Development has been considered in light of its playing fields policy. Sport England does not wish to
raise an objection to the application.

Case Officer’s Response: Response acknowledged
Crime Prevention Officer
- In general this is a better layout than the existing arrangement.
- Access into the School should only be possible through the official reception area once the school
day has started. Visitors entering the site via the new main entrance should be channelled to the
reception. Access to the car park should also be restricted. I recommend a fence (and gate) restricting
access to the car park to channel visitors to the reception.
- If the main corridor by the entrance is to be used as a route for pupils I recommend that additional
access controlled doors are fitted to create an enclosed lobby (leaving the corridor clear) - thus
preventing access into the main building. If pupils are excluded from using the doors shown on the plan
then these could instead be fitted with access control operated from reception.
- The new design of the main entrance removes a 'planted buffer zone'. This may leave homes more at
risk of burglary as the fencing can be more easily scaled or broken. The fencing should be topped with
an anti-climb deterrent such as wooden trellis and planting encouraged to grow through it. Space
should be left for some planting both to fill the trellis and cover the fencing to help prevent it being a
graffiti target.
- The new parts of the building should be included within the burglar and fire alarm.
- New external doors should meet level 2 of the Loss Prevention Standard 1175 for burglary resistance.
- Windows should be certificated to BS 7950 and have one pane of glass at least 6.4mm laminated
glass.
Case Officer’s Response: Condition already added ensuring compliance of development with
requirements of the ‘Secured By Design’ award
Internal
Landscape and Tree Officer
- Detailed hard and soft landscaping along the access route into the site as well as any additional soft
landscaping is required. Removal of all trees would not be acceptable
- The provision of a sedum roof shall be required on the educational principle as well as biodiversity
aspect of the site this can be conditioned.
Case Officer’s Response: Planning conditions have already been added regarding hard and soft
landscaping & trees aspect. Additional condition is recommended in relation to provision of sedum roof.

parties concerned. The financial contribution to be paid from the Council’s Education Department to the
Transport Department would therefore be £57,500. This has been reflected in the revised
recommendation above.
Notes
These revised drawings submitted showed the following minor changes to the proposal:
The proposed parking area has been moved adjacent to the eastern boundary to provide a more
efficient layout with greater ease of access for disabled users. The area occupied by the hard standing
would be significantly reduced in relation to that originally proposed with no loss of parking spaces.
5 No additional cycle parking spaces have been provided just inside the entrance area, again providing
convenient access for users of the main school entrance.
Revised details of the entrance from Thames Avenue were received showing further general details.
The pedestrian gate would be further set back towards the street to reduce the possibility of anti-social
behaviour.

Amended Recommendation
Further Written Representations
Notes
Councillor Pagan verbal objection:
1. The building is not small scale, and is out of scale and character with this and surrounding
properties, and is not what would be expected within a Conservation Area.
Officer’s response: The buildings footprint has been reduced by 29% in comparison to the previous
application (P/2010/0895). The buildings footprint of 44m² represents 9% coverage of the entire rear
garden area (481m²) and 16% of the garden area for the flats (268m²). Although the roof is 3.75m in
height, it has a low pitch of 25 degrees, which reduces its visibility. Amended drawings have been
received removing velux rooflights, which reduces the roofs visual impact in terms of light. The
building’s roof would be constructed of western Cedar shingles, helping it to blend in visually with the
trees within the rear garden of 75 Madelely Road. The building is considered of suitable size and
design within this Conservation Area.
2. Has identified a discrepancy within the report within the section on Impact on Residential Amenity
where it is stated
"The proposed outbuilding is located 34m from the nearest residential windows at ground floor of
no.48"
Officer’s response: Scaling from the drawing, this measures at 28m and the report should be amended
accordingly.
3. Pointed out discrepancies within the drawing. There are a mixture of proposed planting and trees
indicated on the site plan. There are also on site trees within the garden, and off site trees at 75
Madelely Road.
Officer’s response: The applicant has submitted a site plan indicating proposed planting. Whilst
welcome in principle, the level of detail is considered inadequate and further details would be required
by condition. In addition no existing on site trees (near to the boundary with the garden at no. 48
Woodside Gardens) nor the presence of existing off site trees at 75 Madeley Road and 46 Woodside
Gardens have been indicated. Whilst it is considered the submitted drawing is misleading, a tree
survey and landscaping schedule are required by condition and would address this matter.
4. Pointed out that the building would impact upon the setting of Locally Listed Building at 75 Madeley
Road.
17 of 24
Planning Committee: 22 September 2010
Briefing Notes
Officer’s response: The building would be located close of the locally Listed Building at no 75 Madeley
Road. The building would be located 32m (at its nearest point) from the rear of 75 Madeley Road. there
is substantial tree cover on the common boundary and it is considered the building would have a
minimal visual impact upon this property.
A further objection was received from the occupant of 50 Woodville Gardens;

There is an unequivocal threat within the Design and Access Statement that the garden will not
be maintained should the application be refused.
Officer’s response: If the garden were ever in serious neglect, Planning Enforcement action could
be taken.

The works to the garden so far are in anticipation of the garden building being erected
Officer’s response: The application to undertake work to the rear garden was approved by the
Council, on its own merits (App Ref P/2010/0265).

The application should be considered in light of the previous application for the use of the
building as an office.
Officer’s response: The application must be considered on its merits (as submitted) if the building
were in use as anything other than ancillary to its residential use, enforcement action could be
taken.

The application contravenes Conservation policy in that it is not a single modest size room
Officer’s response: The building is considered a modest building in terms of the size of the
garden at this property. It covers 9% of the total garden area of the rear garden.

The tenants do not have access to the rear garden
Officer’s response: There is no evidence to prove or disprove this claim, and the application
should be considered on its merits as submitted.
Late objection from occupiers (tenants) of no 48A Woodville Gardens

We have not been consulted by the freeholder about the use of the garden, we fail to
understand this

Presently we do not have access to the garden, we decided to opt out of this in the tenancy
agreement
Response from freeholder of 48 Woodville Gardens summerised as follows:

There was not an intention to consult tenants until after planning permission was secured

Accordingly, the statement within the Design and Access regarding the potential use of the
structure by tenants was dependant upon planning permission being granted

Although my original desire was to use the building for other purposes, the present proposal is
for users of the property and should be considered on that basis

Briefing Notes

Like many applications, details regarding screening the site will be forthcoming should planning
permission be granted

There is already light and power running to the small shed, so the infrastructure for power to the
new building is straightforward

Disruption regarding building work would be minimal as the structure would be constructed off
site
