APPROVED APPLICATION AND PARKING SURVEY IN BEXLEY

Recent APPROVAL for the change of use and conversion of a bank to 5 × car free / zero parking apartments in Blackfen, Sidcup in LB Bexley for J & P Atkins Development Limited.

We were appointed after LB Bexley highways / transport department had issued a holding objection.

The application was supported by KRONEN’s Parking Survey.

The survey was carried out to both the “Lambeth Methodology” and to local informal survey parameters.

The zero parking element of the proposal needed robust justification in light of the site’s low PTAL with no Permit CPZ controls and LB Bexley’s context as an Outer London Borough.

LB Bexley ref “18/02831/FUL “for the “Change of use from bank (Use Class A2) to Dwellings (Use Class C3) to provide 3 x 1 bed and 2 x 2 bed flats with new front entrances and rear entrances with privacy/amenity space.” at “1-3 Gloucester Parade, Blackfen Road, Sidcup, DA15 8PS”.

The client kindly provided the following testimonial on approval of the application:

“I appointed Alex at KRONEN to undertake a parking survey in relation to a conversion of a commercial building into five residential flats. The site did not offer any off street parking spaces. So was always going to be a challenging application.

From the first phone call to KRONEN I found them to be willing to help and offer excellent guidance. I particularly liked the fact that the survey was being carried out by in house staff.

After agreeing for KRONEN to undertake the survey. Alex worked with local planning and highways officers to agree the details of the survey. The survey was completed within the agreed time frames and a very well presented report was produced and submitted to the council. (If only the council was as efficient as KRONEN).

The report presented the facts in a positive manner which I guess is the challenging part of these reports, as the facts are the facts and may not be what the client wants reported.

My application was successful and I would have no hesitation employing KRONEN on my next project.”
