Reviewed build intelligence

What the documents establish

Government document review

Final grant issued 12 August 2026. The amendment adds ten apartments across N1 and N2; parent development totals and shared amenities are separate scope.

4 official documents inspected · Checked 2026-09-07 · Official file index

Final grant adds ten apartments across two existing permitted blocks

Ten additional apartments; not a new total for the parent development

What the evidence says
The final grant permits five two-bedroom apartments on an additional third floor of each of Blocks N1 and N2. Condition 3 confines the amendment to these ten additional apartments and associated works under the parent permission. The N1 drawing distinguishes the five new apartments numbered 16 to 20 from the fifteen apartments on lower floors.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Residential fit-out and envelope quantities need the added floors separated from the previously permitted lower levels.

What is not established
A reconciled product headline, construction start and detailed procurement quantities are not established.

Railway acoustic treatment remains a delivery requirement

Earlier acoustic report submitted with June 2026 FI and conditioned by the final grant

What the evidence says
The noise assessment submitted in June recommends a 2.5 m acoustic barrier at the rail boundary, with typical surface density of 15 kg/m², and describes a facade approximately 37 m from the railway. Final grant condition 6 requires the noise attenuation measures to be implemented and maintained. The report itself bears a May 2025 date.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Acoustic and boundary contractors need the barrier and building treatment coordinated with the railway edge before residential handover.

What is not established
Agreed construction details, installed barrier performance and acoustic commissioning are not established.

FI plans define a shared 120-space cycle and bin store

PD04 FI shared-store proposal in the parent development setting

What the evidence says
The May FI drawing shows 120 bicycle spaces and waste and recycling storage in a shared store, with rendered walls and a standing-seam metal roof. This is a shared Whitelands East amenity; the drawing does not make the spaces an additional allowance attributable solely to the ten new apartments.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Cycle storage, refuse and roofing suppliers can identify the coordinated shared amenity while avoiding duplicate quantities between the amendment and parent scheme.

What is not established
Store construction, cycle-rack specification, final waste collection agreement and allocation between phases are not established.

The northern three-metre shared link has a handover dependency

Final grant requirement for the northern active-travel connection

What the evidence says
Condition 4 requires a three-metre shared pedestrian and cycle link along the northern railway boundary, with lighting and agreed surfacing connecting to the neighbouring scheme. If that neighbouring development is delayed, the condition requires transfer of the relevant setback land before occupation of the final five units.

Why it may matter — interpretation
Civil and public-realm teams should coordinate the boundary interface and land handover with the final residential occupation programme.

What is not established
Completed neighbouring link, land transfer, agreed detailed surfacing and occupation are not established.
