4.0 RELEVANT LOCAL PLAN POLICIES

4.1 The following policies of the Borough of Broxbourne Local Plan Second Review 2001-2011 (adopted December 2005) apply: SUS18 Surface Water Drainage H8 Design Quality of Development H18 Hostel Accommodation HD13 Design Principles HD14 Design Statement on Local Character HD16 Town Cramming HD17 Retention/Enhancement of Landscape Features CLT1 Community, Open Space and Recreational Facilities CLT5 Hotels and Overnight Accommodation T3 Transport and New Development T10 Cycling Provision T11 Car Parking IMP2 Community and Infrastructure Needs Linked To New Development

4.2 The draft Local Plan 2018 – 2033 was submitted to the Secretary of State for independent examination on 15th March 2018. The emerging policies within it are of increasing material consideration. Relevant policies are as follows: WC1 Waltham Cross Town Centre PO1 Planning Obligations DSC1 General Design Principles DSC2 Extensions and alterations to existing development DSC3 Design affecting the public realm RTC2 Development within town, district and local centres, neighbourhood

centres and shopping parades ORC1 New open space, leisure, sport and recreational facilities W4 SuDS EQ1 Residential and Environmental Quality EQ4 Noise TM2 Transport and New Developments TM5 Parking guidelines

4.3 The Borough-Wide Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) (August 2004)

(updated in 2013) is relevant in this case as it provides design guidance for all forms of development.

4.4 The Borough-Wide Waste Supplementary Planning Guidance (August 2019) provides the details for the provision of refuse and recycling at residential and commercial properties, it is therefore relevant for all forms of development.

4.5 The Interim Policy for Retail, Business, Hotels, Residential Institutions, Assembly/Leisure and Motor-Trade related Car parking Standards (approved January 2012) is a relevant consideration.

4.6 The Waltham Cross Town Centre Strategy (March 2015) was produced to help guide the development and regeneration of the town centre over a period of five to ten years. It is therefore directly relevant to this application.

A3

4.7 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) 2019 also needs to be considered

as it sets out the Government’s planning policies for England and how these are expected to be applied. It is therefore relevant to this application.

5.0 LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF SITE 5.1 The application site is located within Waltham Cross Town Centre along the High

Street to the south of the Eleanor Cross Memorial. It is set within an active street frontage hosting a range of shops and services. Vehicular access is available off the High Street along a service road directly to the front of the building with on-street parking. The site is set adjacent to a public house to the north and a parade of shops to the south with residential flats above. To the rear (east) exists a service road leading off Abbey Road to the south east which provides access to the rear of the shopping parade and also the Royal Mail sorting depot further to the east. The service road also allows pedestrian access to Eleanor Cross Road to the north.

5.2 The existing building at 88-102 High Street is a prominent structure within the street

and the wider town centre. This reflects its former use as the Embassy Cinema when it was originally constructed and opened in 1937. The building underwent various alterations and was last operated by MGM Theatres until September 1993 when it was redecorated for use as a bingo hall by the Gala Bingo Club. The bingo hall closed in January 2017 and remains unused.

A5

A6

Existing rear of building

5.3 The elaborate original features of the cinema have been removed or covered up,

however the basic art deco façade to the front of the building remains evident. The building is of predominantly red brick with a tall flat roofed front parapet wall hiding a hipped roof corrugated cement boarded roof behind. Internally, the original cinema features have been stripped from the building and the bingo hall, with its associated equipment, remains. The building is spread over four floors with a basement.

5.4 The building occupies the majority of the overall application site which is

rectangular in shape and measures approximately 40m in width and 54m in depth. Access to the north of the building serves existing parking spaces that wrap around the rear of the building. A refuse area is also located near to the access.

5.5 The building is set on level ground; however there is a drop in ground level to the

rear service road of around 1.5m. Overall, the site amounts to approximately 0.22ha. The site is bounded by metal fencing and boundary walls and there is some unmaintained tree/hedge coverage along the eastern boundary to the rear of the site.

6.0 PROPOSAL 6.1 Planning permission was granted in March 2019 along with a signed Section 106

agreement under reference 07/18/0512/F. The proposal involved the redevelopment of the building to provide a mixed use scheme with a 119 bed apart-hotel, 24 hour gym, and café. The proposal involved the removal of the existing asbestos hipped roof, the removal of the central area of the building above ground floor level and the erection of three additional floors along with an extension to the footprint of the building at the rear of approximately 3m. The resulting building would be a ‘U’ shaped design over six floors with a roof-top garden terrace. The application was presented to the Planning and Regulatory committee in September 2018 and was subsequently approved.

6.2 The applicant has progressed agreement with a Hotel Operating Company that

specialise in premium extended stay hotels across 14 properties in Europe and they are aiming to expand. However, the location for this operator is only viable if the room count within the apart-hotel increases.

6.3 This application therefore seeks to vary the plans approved within condition 2 of the

previous permission to allow additional rooms within the building through the insertion of an extra floor. The overall scale and mass of the building would remain the same as previously approved. However, the additional floor has required the insertion of further windows within the façade and a reorientation of the window design to ensure that each of the rooms is suitably served with natural light and outlook. The approved images are shown below along with the proposed changes. The proposal would result in an increase in the number of guest rooms from 119 to 135 units. There would be a range of studio (110), 1-bed (19) and 2-bed (6) units. A further two 1-bed units would be for staff accommodation with an overall total of 137 units. The proposal also removes the roof top terrace and café previously proposed.

6.4 In addition, the application provides further information in relation to condition 3

(architectural details), condition 4 (external materials), condition 5 (surfacing materials) and condition 6 (roof terrace rails). These elements are detailed within the analysis section of this report.

Surface Water Strategy 6.4 The applicant received pre-application advice to the effect that the general

appearance of the building would be acceptable in principle. 7.0 RELEVANT PLANNING HISTORY 7.1 07/18/0512/F - Change of use from D2 (Bingo Hall) to Mixed Use building with

aparthotel with internal cafe and gym on ground floor with additional new build elements and alterations to existing building. This application was approved on 14 March 2019 following the signing of a Bilateral Undertaking.

7.2 07/17/1298/O - Outline planning application for conversion of the existing restricted

D2 use building to a mixed use building with 3 floors of commercial space and replacement of the existing pitched asbestos roof with 2 floors of C3 flats. The ground floor will require an unrestricted all hours D2 use to be used as a gym, the first floor will require a D2 use and the second floor will require a flexible commercial use. The top 2 floors will provide 12 self-contained 2 bedroom flats with private amenity space and communal courtyard. Windows will be inserted into the existing building to bring in natural light and original windows on the front facade will be reinstated. This application was withdrawn by the applicant on 13 February 2018.

7.3 7/0943/07/F/WX - Erection of awning and wall mounted rest and bollards at rear.

Approved 29 November 2007.

7.4 7/0399/07/F/WX - Erection of canopy and wall mounted rest. Refused 28 June 2007.

7.5 7/0393/06/F/WX - Two wall mounted external condenser units. Approved 15 June

2009. 7.6 7/297/2001 – Continued use as a bingo hall. Approved 5 June 2001. Various applications prior to the above are associated with the use of the building

as a bingo hall. 8.0 APPRAISAL 8.1 The main issues for consideration in this case are as follows:

- Principle of development; - Design, layout and appearance;

- Highways/Car Parking; - Impact to residential amenity;

- Refuse and Recycling;

- Planning Obligations;

These matters will be appraised in turn, below.

Principle of Development 8.2 The principle of development has been established as being acceptable following

permission of the extant application to convert the building for mixed use as a gym and apart-hotel. The permission established that the proposal would comply with Policies CLT1 (Community, Open Space and Recreational Facilities), CLT5 (Hotels and Overnight Accommodation) and H18 (Hostel Accommodation) with regards to the proposed scale of the building, location in terms of market, transport facilities, residential amenity, access and car parking.

8.3 The application site area lies close to the heart of Waltham Cross Town Centre within easy access to a range of local transport options. The proposal would involve the conversion and redevelopment of a redundant building bringing it into use within an active street frontage of the Town Centre. The scheme has the potential to support the objectives of the ‘Waltham Cross Town Centre Strategy’ adopted by the Council in March 2015.

8.4 The principle of the proposed development would therefore be acceptable provided that it accords with the requirements of Local Plan Policies CLT1, CLT5, H8 and H18

A16

Design, layout and appearance

8.5 As previously approved, the proposal would involve the removal of the large hipped roof structure and an increase in the height of the building resulting in a flat roof predominantly brick built structure with the top two floors set back from the main façade of the building. This proposal would follow the same format; however the internal configuration of the floors has been altered. The ceiling heights were ample to enable the insertion of an additional floor without increasing the overall height of the building. This results in a building of the same scale and mass as previously approved but with seven storeys instead of six. The main alteration therefore is the window design and arrangement. The approved frontage arrangement facing the High Street was presented with the central windows being long and horizontally set. This configuration was not appropriate with an additional floor inserted into the building; therefore the proposal is to provide vertical windows centrally within the building whilst maintaining the horizontal framed windows above the entrance. To the rear a similar design is now proposed with the windows linked between floors in a vertical arrangement. It is considered that the design of the revised scheme is acceptable as it maintains the art deco appearance of the building and preserves this iconic building within its modern surroundings. The additional floor can be achieved without compromising the quality of the built form.

8.6 From the perspective of the streetscene along the High Street the impact of the fifth floor would be reduced through a set back of 1m from the front façade, as previously approved. The third and fourth floor would be a continuation of the existing front façade. Similarly to the rear the main bulk of the building would be as previously approved with the fifth and sixth floor set in 1m and 2.2m respectively. The applicant has provided comparative streetscene views with the existing building. Although the bulk of the building has increased to the front and rear the overall height is one storey higher than the ridgeline of the existing building. Furthermore, the top two floors would have a stepped profile of differing material to break the perception of mass. The overall scale and bulk of the building was considered acceptable within the previous approved submission and not considered detrimental to the wider area that comprises a range of designs of buildings over two and three storey height. This consideration is maintained.

Comparative streetscene view – front elevation

A17

Comparative streetscene view – rear elevation

8.7 Whilst an additional floor has been added to the building the internal arrangement follows the same format as that previously approved. The proposed gym would occupy the majority of the ground floor level and the apart-hotel reception area along with two bedrooms would occupy a small section of the ground floor. At first floor level the central courtyard area would accommodate a communal area for hotel guests only and would be covered in a glazed lean-to style roof with void above. The second, third and fourth floors would be similar in layout; the fifth floor would be marginally smaller due to the set back from the frontage and rear façade and the sixth floor would be confined towards the rear of the building. The roof terrace previously proposed has now been removed from the scheme as the Hotel Provider considered this to pose health and safety issues and therefore the roof would only be accessible for maintenance purposes.

8.8 The frontage of the building would be reinstated with the large entrance that would be split to provide separate entrances for the gym and apart-hotel. The entrance adds to the featured front façade and is positioned centrally maintaining the appearance of symmetry. The windows would be metal framed similar to the few that currently exist, however the new windows would be double glazed. The windows would also be presented with slim lines and horizontal bars that add to the art deco theme.

8.9 In terms of materials and architectural detail, the applicant has submitted additional detail to address conditions 3, 4, 5, and 6 of the approved scheme.

8.10 Condition 3 required the architectural details to be submitted and approved prior to commencement. These included the restoration proposals for the building façade, fenestration, signage, brick detailing and bonding and rainwater goods. The applicant has stated that matching the brick of the extensions with existing has been challenging. Therefore, the proposal is to renew the elevations of the building. This would involve stripping back the brickwork and tiles and applying a new brick skin from the ground floor upwards allowing a continuous wall tied into the existing wall with mechanically fixed ties. The proposed bricks will be ‘Old Reclamation Clamp’ by ‘Imperial Handmade Bricks’ that specialise in producing bricks using traditional methods and are therefore suited to restoration and renovation projects. The red/orange shades and reclamation finish are considered to closely match the existing bricks. The detailing around the existing window and front entrance are made up of smooth cream tiles. The tiles across the majority of the ground floor to the front would be removed, as stated above, however the detailing around the entrance, windows, columns and horizontal bands will be a cream (RAL 9001) PermaRock Nano-Quartz render that will be smooth, permeable,

A18

long-lasting and self-cleaning which would be suitable to the quality and appearance of the building. The rainwater goods are a mixture of green cast iron and black plastic, it is proposed to renew all with black plastic for consistency throughout the building. No details have been provided in terms of the fenestration including window reveals and materials for the frames or the signage detail therefore if approved condition 3 would be reworded accordingly.

8.11 Condition 4 required details of the external facing and roofing materials prior to commencement. The brick detail is as indicated above. The roof that incorporates the two upper floors will be covered in grey single-ply membrane with standing seam detail on the vertical elements. This would add a modern element to the upper floors of the building that will be set back from the main façade.

8.12 Condition 5 required details of the surfacing materials prior to commencement. The only surfacing material is that within the car park area to the north of the building which is currently tarmac. The area will be fully resurfaced with tarmac and the new car parking layout marked with Thermoplastic Line marking paint. The surfacing material is considered an appropriate finish to the area.

8.13 Condition 6 required details for the roof terrace rails to be submitted prior to commencement. The roof top garden is removed from the scheme and there is no requirement for rails at first floor level to the rear of the building. Therefore, this condition does not require consideration and will not be reinstated if this proposal is approved.

8.14 The rear of the building would be landscaped to improve the secondary entrance to the building. Raised planters will be incorporated that would also provide surface water management. In the event of an approval a condition would be imposed for the submission of a landscaping plan to be agreed.

8.15 Overall, the proposal would reinstate the impressive façade of a building that has an important presence within the Town Centre. In addition, the design would modernise the building whilst respecting the varied character of its surrounding. The proposal is considered to comply with Policies H8, HD13 and HD14 of the Borough of Broxbourne Local Plan Second Review. Highways/Car Parking

8.16 The proposal results in an increase in the number of rooms offered, therefore there would be potential to increase the traffic generated at the site. The previous application did not raise significant concern regarding traffic generation. It is not considered that the additional 18 rooms would result in any further significant harm to the free flow of traffic in the area given the nature of the High Street at the site that is generally slowed due to the recently completed pedestrianised area and turning head close to the site. Furthermore, much of the public highway in the immediate vicinity of the site is protected by roadside parking restrictions to maintain the free flow of traffic. The applicant has updated their Transport Statement which identifies that the uplift in the development would result in a minimal additional increase in vehicular movements that would not result in any detrimental impact on highway safety or cause congestion issues. The comments of the County Highway Authority have been sought and if received will be reported verbally at the Committee meeting. Paragraph 109 of the NPPF states that

A19

development should only be refused on highways grounds if there would be an unacceptable impact on highway safety or that there would be a severe impact upon the road network. Similarly, Local Plan Policy T3 would not permit development where there would be a significant detrimental impact on road congestion and movement particularly at peak travel times. It is officer opinion that the submission provides sufficient information to comply with these policies.

8.17 The Council’s adopted parking guidelines recommend one off-street parking space per bedroom and two spaces per three staff for hotel accommodation. The number of staff is that presented in the previous submission, a total of 24 employees. On this basis, the proposed 143 bedrooms would require a parking provision of 159 spaces. In addition, the gym with a floor area of 848sqm would require one parking space per 15sqm amounting to a requirement of 57 spaces. With the 40% reduction applied to the town centre location the guideline for the total number of parking spaces is 130 which is 15 spaces above that required in the previous submission.

8.18 The submitted proposal provides 20 car parking spaces within the site which includes 6 disabled parking bays. The remaining 14 spaces are to be for staff of both the gym and hotel. A shortfall of 110 car parking spaces is significantly substandard, however a sensible balanced approach should be used to determine the appropriateness of an under achievement of car parking spaces which takes into account the site context and its wider surroundings. The submitted Transport Statement provides the results of the 2018 parking survey. The survey shows at least 54 spaces of spare car parking capacity in the vicinity of the site at the Eleanor Cross Road public car park, the High Street public car park and designated on-road spaces along the High Street. Overall parking capacity across the three areas surveyed does not reach full capacity at any time and there are free spaces throughout much of the day including peak times. Furthermore, the site is located in a sustainable location where reliance on the use of a car is reduced due to the good transport links close by, including a bus station approximately 100m to the north and mainline train station around 350m to the east. In addition, being within the Town Centre there are a range of shops and services all within walking distance.

8.19 With regards to cycle parking, around 48 stands are to be provided as shown within

the submitted plans. The Transport Statement indicates that a further two spaces would be provided for the increased number of rooms, therefore amounting to 50 stands being provided. The Parking Standards require 51 spaces, the shortfall in one space is considered reasonable particularly as the Standards indicate that the requirement for the gym is on a short-term basis.

8.20 On balance, given the location of the development close to existing shops,

facilities and transport links, the shortfall in parking is judged to be acceptable and not a significant reason to recommend refusal of the application alone given the availability of public car parking within the town centre. Furthermore, there is not considered to be a significant impact upon the surrounding highway network. The proposal is therefore considered to satisfy the requirements of Local Plan Policies T3, T10 and T11 and the NPPF.

A20

Impact to residential amenity

8.21 The previous submission did not present any issues relating to residential amenity in terms of outlook, privacy and overshadowing. The scale and mass of the building has not altered and the proposed alteration to the window arrangement does not present any concerns in terms of neighbouring amenity.

8.22 With regards to the individual bedrooms of the apart-hotel, the arrangement of these have altered and studio, 1-bed and 2-bed units are now proposed which range between 20.8sqm to 57.5sqm in area and would accommodate a double bed, ensuite bathroom and kitchenette area. Given the short-term occupancy of these rooms the size is considered reasonable and comparable to room size guidance for other residential accommodation such as houses in multiple occupation. The accommodation is considered to be suitable for business travellers to the area, contractors, leisure guests or individuals relocating requiring temporary accommodation. To avoid any overstay of individuals the applicant agreed to an obligation restricting the occupancy for a single booking to be capped at 90 days within any one calendar year.

8.23 A communal area at first floor level within the central void of the building is to remain as previously approved. The café within this area has now been removed from this scheme. The area will be covered with a glazed roof to provide an additional lounge area for residents only outside the hotel rooms.

8.24 With regards to noise, the Council Environmental Health Service has been consulted and their comments will be verbally reported. Within the previous approval a condition was imposed requiring the submission of a noise assessment and scheme for sound insulation to address the issue of noise generated from the 24hr gym and also noise from the plant equipment on the roof (e.g. air cooling system) and general noise from use of the roof terrace upon the bedrooms. It is considered appropriate to reinstate this condition in the event of an approval of this application, however the roof terrace has now been removed from the scheme and the assessment would not require addressing noise from that area.

8.25 With regards to landscaping, the plans indicate that planting would be provided

around the rear boundary of the site, this is considered appropriate to provide a level of soft landscaping following removal of existing unmaintained foliage. A condition is recommended requiring further landscaping details to be submitted as per the previous approval.

8.26 Overall, the proposal presents an acceptable level of amenity for both existing and future occupiers in accordance with Local Plan Policies H6, H8 and HD16. Surface Water and Drainage

8.27 The application site is located within Flood Zone 1 and therefore an area with low probability of flooding. However, the consideration of surface water management is relevant. The applicant has provided confirmation that Thames Water has sufficient surface water capacity within the sewerage network to serve the development. The surface water drainage strategy is largely the same as that considered within the previous application. It is proposed to provide a raised rain

A21

water planter or “rain garden” at the base of the rainwater pipes that would serve the attenuation and flow control from the extension at the rear of the building. The planters are considered to offer sufficient storage volume in a storm event that would incorporate an overflow pipe into the existing drain. A geocellular system beneath the car park to the north of the building is also proposed. This feature is designed for shallow groundwater storage or infiltration and balances the soil permeability within the area of the system supporting the surface water attenuation within the site. Herts County Lead Local Flood Authority has not raised an objection to the proposed changes within this application.

8.28 Overall, the proposal satisfactorily addresses surface water drainage within the site in accordance with Local Plan Policy SUS18 and the National Planning Policy Framework. Refuse and Recycling

8.29 The previous submission identified a location for bin storage of five Eurobins; this was considered acceptable in principle. However, a condition was imposed for further details to be submitted. Given the increase in the number of rooms it is considered appropriate to reinstate this condition to address this matter fully. In any case, there is sufficient space adjacent to the proposed bin storage area for a further one or two bins if required.

8.30 Provision has been made for the storage of refuse and recycling to the north of the building as existing and close to the access with the High Street. The scheme has potential to comply with the Council’s Waste SPG. Planning Obligations

8.31 In accordance with Local Plan Policy IMP2, the development is subject to contributions towards local infrastructure and community facilities. The sum sought for the previous approval was based on a precedent hostel scheme at The Vicarage, 11 Amwell Street in Hoddesdon at a rate of £1,293 per room. The rate was index linked from 30th September 2014 (the date of the agreement relating to 11 Amwell Street). This equated to a proportionate contribution for the development proposed of £164,082. The contribution would be towards projects included in the borough council’s Waltham Cross Renaissance Plan. The agreement was signed on 21st February 2019 and included the occupancy condition set out in paragraph 8.22 of this report. The additional 18 rooms have required an amended sum amounting to £188,901 based on the previous rate. The applicant has agreed to this sum and if this application is approved a Deed of Variation will be made to the Agreement.

8.32 It is considered lawful and appropriate to require planning obligations, provided they are in accordance with the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010. The obligation is considered to be necessary in planning terms, reasonable in scale, and directly related to the development. As such the obligation is considered to comply with the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010.

A22

9.0 CONCLUSION 9.1 The proposed development would present an acceptable reuse of a vacant building

within an active street frontage of Waltham Cross. Its redevelopment would be a positive contribution to the future aspirations of enhancing the town centre whilst respecting the design of the original building and its historic appearance. As such, this revised scheme is not considered to negatively harm the character and appearance of the area. There is not considered to be any highway safety implications arising from the proposal and the car parking provision is considered acceptable. Residential amenity is not considered to be significantly compromised for existing nearby residents and the amenity of future occupants for the units has been suitably considered. The refuse and recycling arrangement is suitably considered. Finally, the applicant has agreed to the planning obligations set out in this report.

10. RECOMMENDED that: planning permission be granted subject to the
