2025/02524/SCREIA - Environment Impact Assessment Screening Decided

Proposal

Request for an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) screening opinion pursuant to Regulation 6 of the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 20171 (hereafter referred to as the EIA Regulations) in relation to the proposed redevelopment of 74-86 Carnwath Road, Fulham, London (hereafter referred to as the Site). The Applicant intends to submit a full planning application for the construction of a ground + six-storey building for co-living use with approximately 310-330 co-living beds, 5,000 sqft of Class E/F (nonresidential use) space at ground level and c.550 sqm of public realm (hereafter referred to as the Proposed Development). It is anticipated that five blue badge parking spaces will be the only car parking provision for the scheme. Whilst the design of the Development is not yet fixed for the purposes of the full planning application, the information provided to Waterman by the Applicant and their consultant team, and contained herein, is considered to be adequate to establish the likely environmental effects of the Development and to advise if it would constitute EIA development.

Site constraints 7

Flood zone 3, rivers and sea
High chance: a 1 in 100 or greater annual chance from rivers, or 1 in 200 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.

National infrastructure project: Thames Tideway Tunnel
The site is inside 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.

Air quality management area: Hammersmith and Fulham AQMA
The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.
