    Variation of Section 106 Agreement (ref no. LEG/RP/PL/S106/RR020/465) associated with planning permission 23/AP/1862, which gave consent for: "Phased mixed-use redevelopment of the site, comprising: - Demolition of all existing buildings/structures, site clearance and excavation; - Construction of buildings to provide residential dwellings (Class C3) and flexible commercial, business and service space (Class E); - Construction of buildings to provide purpose built student accommodation including associated amenity and ancillary space, flexible commercial, business, service and community spaces within Classes E/F2(b) (Sui Generis); and - Provision of associated car and cycle parking, open space and landscaping, means of access and highway alterations, installation of plant and utilities and all other associated ancillary works incidental to the development". This Deed of Variation application seeks changes to the definitions, schedules and appendices (as appropriate) within the Section 106 Agreement in connection with changes formally sought under a concurrent non-material amendment application, the reference number for which is 26/AP/3298. The changes to the Section 106 Agreement sought by the Deed of Variation application would: - reflect all of the changes proposed by 26/AP/3298 to the Student Wheelchair Units, involving 3 being designated as 'accessible' units and the remaining 106 being designated as 'adaptable units' from first occupation; and - affix a Supplemental Deed to the original agreement, reflecting the developer's recent acquisition of an area of land.

    Non-material amendment to planning permission 23/AP/1862 (as amended by 26/AP/1158 and 26/AP/0377), which gave consent for: "Phased mixed-use redevelopment of the site, comprising: - Demolition of all existing buildings/structures, site clearance and excavation; - Construction of buildings to provide residential dwellings (Class C3) and flexible commercial, business and service space (Class E); - Construction of buildings to provide purpose built student accommodation including associated amenity and ancillary space, flexible commercial, business, service and community spaces within Classes E/F2(b) (Sui Generis); and - Provision of associated car and cycle parking, open space and landscaping, means of access and highway alterations, installation of plant and utilities and all other associated ancillary works incidental to the development)". Non-material amendment application 26/AP/3298 seeks to vary the consented Student Wheelchair Unit fit-outs, so that from first occupation 3 are delivered to an 'accessible' fit-out and the remaining 106 are delivered to an 'adaptable' fit-out.
