Agenda item

41 Iffley Road and 26 Tabor Road, London W6 0PB, Hammersmith Broadway 2017/02746/FUL

 

Please see the Addendum attached to the minutes which made minor changes to the report.

 

The Committee heard representations in objection to the application from two local residents. Some of the points raised included: The proposal would change the character of the conservation area and was an inappropriate site for offices. The construction phase raised concerns as this included a basement. The intended hours of use of the site would cause disruption to residents through increased traffic, deliveries and added parking stress. There was no plan for parking and insufficient provision had been made for cycle storage. The proposal would cause light and noise pollution with employees entering and leaving the building. The proposed roof lights on both sides of the building would contribute to a loss of privacy to residents. There already were a number of high rise buildings locally and there was no need for additional office space. The number of persons using the building was unclear and the proposal would create added stress to utilities including sewage/waste water. 

 

The Committee heard a representation in support of the application from the Architect. Some of the points raised included: The proposal was consistent with the existing B1 use. An office would be the optimum use for the site and the works had been negotiated with the Authority over a 4-year period.  The proposal took steps to preserve the existing heritage and new materials would match the existing fabric of the building. The proposal would incorporate a new roof and repairs would be made to joists and guttering. The proposal incorporated restricted hours of use to minimise disruption to residents and was an investment in the borough.

 

The Committee heard representations against the application from Councillor Patricia Quigley, Ward Councillor for Hammersmith Broadway.

 

During the course of discussions, the Committee explored a number of issues including the existing use of the site, the impact of the roof lights and the listed status of the building. Further topics included refuse storage, trees, the neighbourliness of the building, carparking, the design and its residential setting. 

 

Councillor Alex Karmel proposed that condition 3 – Demolition and Construction Management Plan - be amended to preclude working on Bank Holidays. This was seconded by the Chair.

Netherwood Place, Land to Rear of 17A Netherwood Road, Addison 2017/04360/FUL

 

Please see the Addendum attached to the minutes which amended the report.

 

Councillor Alex Karmel declared a non-pecuniary interest in respect of Netherwood Place, Land to Rear of 17A Netherwood Road as his employer had conducted some preliminary consultation work on the application. He left the meeting and did not participate in the item.

 

The Committee heard a representation in objection to the application from the legal representative of a local resident. Some of the points raised included: The officer report did not include accurate drawings and the light study was meaningless as it had been conducted in March between 1100 and 1300. Residents would lose the amenity of their gardens as a result of the proposed roof terraces and external spaces. Noise and light pollution at night would affect local residents. Concerns were raised about the demolition and construction process, the over development of the site and also how the suspected asbestos in the existing buildings would be removed.

 

The Committee heard a representation in support of the application from the Agent. Some of the points raised included: The drawings were accurate; the light studies had been conducted by the BRE Group and the Council had assessed the fenestration proposals. In relation to the asbestos, the removal would form a part of the proposed Demolition and Construction management plan. The current structure was not attractive and proposal meant that the aspect of many residents would be improved by virtue of overlooking a grass roof.

 

During the course of discussions, the Committee explored a number of issues including: the lack of affordable housing, accessibility of the green roofs by local residents and whether the proposed units complied with amenity space requirements. Further topics included; the use of sustainable drainage, privacy and overlooking concerns as well as access for large vehicles, including the emergency services.

Fulham College Boys, Kingwood Road, London, Munster 2018/00383/FUL

 

Please see the Addendum attached to the minutes which amended the report.

 

Councillor Rachel Leighton declared a non-pecuniary interest in respect of Fulham College Boys School as she was a School Governor at Fulham Boys School. She left the meeting and did not participate in the item.

 

In the absence of the Chair, the Vice-Chair, Councillor Matt Uberoi Chaired the item.

 

The Committee heard a representation in support from the Executive Principal. Points raised included: The school desperately needed to modernise its science classrooms. The internal layout of the current science lab was poor and new facilities would improve the teaching space. The application sought to enhance existing facilities and was not related to a growth in pupil numbers. The proposal retained the same footprint as the existing building and modern building techniques would ensure the school became more energy efficient. The proposal included a green roof.

 

Councillor Alex Karmel proposed that condition 8 – Demolition and Construction Management Plan - be amended to preclude working on Bank Holidays. This was seconded by Councillor Colin Aherne.
