In the discussion the following points were
made:
·
In response to concerns with the results of the Average Daylight
Factor (ADF), the Planning Officer advised that little weight could
be attached to the applicant’s ADF tests results as it relied
on a range of inputs including assumptions regarding internal
reflectivity and assumptions made regarding room sizes at some of
the properties. Additionally, ADF is not one of the two primary
tests to be used to assess impacts on adjoining daylight receipt,
the primary tests are Vertical Sky Component (VSC) and Daylight
Distribution(DD).
·
With regards to concerns raised by the London Fire and Emergency
Planning, the Legal adviser informed Members that although issues
of fire safety were building control matters, the potential impacts
on a scheme to accommodate such building regulations solutions
provided by the applicants could have material impacts on the
scheme –for consideration by Planning Committee.

privacy and the inaccurate information provided by the
applicant’s daylight and sunlight consultants etc.

following consultation with neighbouring occupants the scheme was
amended to address the issue of massing; the deletion of terraces
from along boundary with 13-14 Great Sutton street and the
provision of privacy screens to the front and rear terraces at
fifth floor level.
·
The agent acknowledged that the methodology employed for measuring
the sunlight and daylight loss included a number of assumptions,
however he indicated that considering the location of the site, any
loss was within a tolerable level. Councillor Khan proposed a motion to defer
consideration on three grounds:
a)
Advice from the Design Review Panel would be welcomed by the
Committee given the mixed views on the quality of the
