Railway Arch 68 Ewer Street London Southwark SE1 0NR
Change of use class from E(d) (indoor sport, recreation or fitness) to Sui Generis (private hire exhibition/event space and dance/fitness studio).
The submission has not adequately demonstrated that late night/early morning dispersal of 300 visitors will be possible without being of detrimental impact to the local transport network capacity. As such, the proposal is contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2023) - Chapter 9 'Promoting sustainable transport'; London Plan (2021) - Policy T4 'Assessing and mitigating transport impacts'; Southwark Plan (2022) - Policy P49 'Public transport', Policy P50 'Highways impacts'.
The submission has not sufficiently demonstrated with respect to noise/vibration that the proposed use can be feasibly undertaken without causing detrimental impact to neighbouring amenity - specifically the effect of amplified music, low frequency noise, noise bleed, and dispersal noise. As such the proposal is contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2023) - Chapter 8 'Promoting healthy and safe communities'; London Plan (2021) - Policy D13 'Agent of change', Policy D14 'Noise'; Southwark Plan (2022) - Policy P56 'Protection of amenity', Policy P66 'Reducing noise pollution and enhancing soundscapes'.
