Hammersmith & Fulham Council
Granted: Full planning granted May 2025.
Ref: 2022/01859/FUL
Description: Demolition of the existing building and the construction of a mixed-use development comprising of a nursery use (Class E) at lower ground and ground floor level, to include external play area at ground floor level and residential dwelling use (Class C3) consisting of 7no. self-contained apartments at the first floor to third floor level (2 x 1 bed, 4 x 2 bed and 1 x 3 beds)."
Costs: The planning application is subject to S106 contributions of approximately £35,000, and CIL liabilities of approximately £55,231 including indexation.
The proposed scheme will provide 5,324 sq. ft. of residential floor space with all of the units being for private sale and no onsite affordable housing.
The commercial (Class E) unit will extend to approximately 4,604sq. ft. GIA with an outside play area of 815 sq. ft.
At under 11 metres, the scheme avoids the requirement for additional fire lobbies, sprinklers and Gateway approvals. This streamlines design and regulatory process, supporting an accelerated programme and reduced build costs - a clear advantage in today’s complex environment.
A Section 73 application (Ref: 2025/02124/VAR) has been approved to increase nursery capacity from 72 to 84 pupils. The proposal varies the condition that caps pupil numbers and updates the approved drawings to provide additional cycle and refuse storage. The AFL has been varied to reflect the revised pupil numbers, new rent, and rent-free period.
