Planning committee

Decided by Hammersmith and Fulham Planning and Development Control Committee on 9 Jun 2026. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.

Approved unanimously

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the scheme would provide housing on a vacant site with acceptable design, amenity, highways and environmental impacts, subject to controls.
  • Residents generally supported the change of use but raised concerns about privacy, construction disturbance, noise, trees, light, flooding and traffic.
  • The committee unanimously approved both recommendations, authorising permission subject to a legal agreement and conditions.

Site constraints 8

Flood zone 2, rivers and sea
Medium chance: between a 1 in 100 and 1 in 1,000 annual chance from rivers, or 1 in 200 to 1 in 1,000 from the sea. Any development here needs a flood risk assessment. Defences are not counted.
The Environment Agency flood map for planning. Homes in zone 3 must also pass the sequential test. Surface water flooding is a separate map.

Protected view corridor: 9A.1 King Henry's Mound to St Paul's Cathedral
Inside the landmark viewing corridor of a protected vista. A building that rises above the corridor's threshold height should be refused. How high that is depends on where along the view the site is.
The London Plan (policy HC4) designates strategic views, and the Mayor's London View Management Framework (March 2012) gives 13 of them a protected vista toward St Paul's Cathedral, the Palace of Westminster or the Tower of London. A vista has a threshold height that rises or falls with the line of sight. In the landmark viewing corridor, a building above it would harm the view and should be refused. In the wider setting consultation area around the corridor, a building above it is referred for consultation and its effect on the view is judged. The threshold changes along each view and is set out in the framework. A revised framework is out for consultation until 4 December 2026 and is not yet in force.

National infrastructure project 567 m away: Thames Tideway Tunnel
The site is 567 m from the project boundary. Waste water treatment, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted.
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.
