Draft so far

Lack of an adequate cumulative impact report

Redbridge has failed its duty set in the London plan to produce a meaningful cumulative impact assessment. The duty of Redbridge is set out in the Mayor's letter to Redbridge dated planning report GLA/5001/01 dated 13 January 2020 quoting from paragraph 63.

“London Plan Policy 7.7, and new London Plan Policy D9 set out the Mayor’s requirements for tall buildings, identifying that boroughs should determine locations where tall buildings may be appropriate; and that visual, functional, environmental and cumulative impacts should be considered.”

1) At the June Redbridge cabinet, Cllr Athwal was asked by Andy Walker whether he would commission a cumulative impact into the pollution caused by three developments close to each other at the Tesco Goodmayes site, Seven Kings Homebase, and the Seven Kings Car Park.

2) Cllr Athwal said that he had asked for such a report and implied that it would not be limited to air quality impacts alone. The Rebridge Council recording of the meeting is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4EzTgMJkJY

3) The promised report has not been published, this is a serious omission and we submit this application that this application should be refused on the 27^th May as a consequence.

4) The air quality cumulative impact is addressed in reports written by Professor Peckham & Dr Mills which are addressed in the air quality section.

5) The Tesco application, unlike the Bodgers Tower application, does not estimate the cumulative impact of this development on our local NHS.

6) The Bodgers cumulative impact assessment is contained within “One Station Road

Environmental Impact Assessment Volume 1: Environmental Statement Main Report” of November 2018

“To address this, the cumulative assessment of this EIA has been split into a Tier 1 and Tier 2 assessment,

whereby:

􀁸 Tier 1 assesses the combined effects of the One Station Road proposals in combination with those at

the Recorder House site; and

􀁸 Tier 2 assesses the combined effects of the One Station Road proposals and Recorder House

proposals and other cumulatives developments within 1km of each of these sites.

The Tier 1 assessment has been informed by the standalone environmental technical reports that are prepared

in relation to the Recorder House Proposed Development. These include:

􀁸 Air Quality – this is considered further in the Tier 1 cumulative assessment of Volume 1, Chapter 7,

Air Quality;

􀁸 Archaeology – given that there are no likely significant effects from Station Road and the distance

between the two sites, there is no potential for cumulative effects;

􀁸 Contamination – given the distance between the sites there is no potential for cumulative effects;

􀁸 Drainage – given that there are no likely significant effects from Station Road and the distance

between the two sites, there is no potential for cumulative effects;

􀁸 Daylight, Sunlight and Overshadowing – this is considered further in the Tier 1 cumulative assessment

of Volume 1, Chapter 10, Daylight, Sunlight, Overshadowing and Solar Glare;

􀁸 Noise – this is considered further in the Tier 1 cumulative assessment of Volume 1, Chapter 8, Noise

and Vibration;

􀁸 Ecology – given that there are no likely significant effects from Station Road and the distance between

the two sites, there is no potential for cumulative effects; and

􀁸 Townscape and Visual – this is considered further in the Tier 1 cumulative assessment of Volume 2,

(Built) Heritage, Townscape and Visual Impact Assessment.”

The report continues at point 6.130

The baseline figures show that the average ratio of registered patients per GP across the 11 GP practices that lie within one mile of the Proposed Development is 2,725, which is significantly above the benchmark list size of 1,800 patients per FTE GP. If all the residents of the Proposed Development register with the GPs assessed in the baseline, the additional residents and workers would require an extra 0.5FTE GPs, and the ratio of patients to GPs would rise to 2,753 patients per FTE GP, an increase of just one percent, but making the GP ratio 53% above the target list size of 1,800.

The report continues at 6.134

“The Proposed Development is expected to result in an increase of 260 annual A&E visits to the King George Hospital, equivalent to an increase of 0.1% in annual attendances. It is therefore likely to have a low magnitude of impact, on a medium sensitivity receptor, that results in a long term,”

7) The Bodgers Tower report also has a detailed report into the impact of the local schools as well, both the impact of the population increase on local schools and health provision is not contained with the Tesco application.

8) The Bodgers Tower report states “CUMULATIVE EFFECTS WITH ALL OTHER DEVELOPMENTS A total of 18 developments have been identified as cumulative schemes and outlined in ES Volume 1 Chapter 2: EIA Methodology” The Tesco application.

9) The document titled “REDEVELOPMENT OF TESCO EXTRA SITE, GOODMAYES,LONDON BOROUGH OF REDBRIDGE EIA SCOPING REPORT WESTON HOMES PLC FEBRUARY 2019” states
