The controversial scheme which has taken up a lot of our time this Spring has now been approved by the Council’s Planning Committee on a 4:2 vote after a long discussion. This is for the revised scheme of 22 storeys reduced from the original 28 storeys.

We have reported on the progress on the new Hammersmith and Fulham Local Plan over the last two years.
The revised Plan incorporating several of our comments and recommendations will now be the subject of this Inquiry by a Government appointed inspector. He will be assessing the soundness of the plan and conformity to planning law including the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and the London Plan. The hearings will take place in the Council Chamber of Hammersmith Town Hall over a period of six days, commencing on Tuesday 13th June.

I have mentioned Landmark House and of course the Town Centre Masterplanning in previous News Updates.These two have now been brought into sharp focus with the planning application now submitted for Landmark House. (Click on this link to access the application : Then scroll down through the list of documents : The ‘Design and Access’ files give the best overall view of this very significant scheme : Click the ‘view’ symbol to open specific files).
Your committee have discussed these proposals twice based upon the November exhibition, which was not widely publicised. We also wrote to the Council’s Head of Planning and Development in January and our initial letter of comment is attached. The HamSoc committee are broadly supportive but with concerns re the height. The latest proposals (forming the planning application) differ in certain ways that improve the ground floor arrangements around the lowest of the three blocks but have also added two floors to the highest increasing the overall number of floors from 26 to 28 storeys.

Four of your Committee are on the Council’s Hammersmith Residents’ Working Party (Melanie Whitlock, Rosemary Pettit, Richard Winterton and myself) : We have had three meetings since its inception, which have included a presentation by Transport for London (TfL) on their current thinking for the Flyunder and the Broadway. Mysteriously, they failed to mention the strategic tunnel proposal (from the A4 in Chiswick and A40 at Park Royal to East London) which the Mayor/TfL announced a couple of weeks later and which in our view puts a very different light on their current lukewarm support for the Flyunder project. See below TfL diagram which shows how a long Flyunder would form the first section of their strategic south tunnel . . .
The main objective of the group is to feed in Residents’ views as to how Hammersmith Town Centre should be developed. Our last meeting involved some brainstorming and in the meantime the Council are looking to appoint a firm of Masterplanners. Watch this space . . .

We can't wait for progress. Meanwhile we've suggested an immediate temporary solution using amphibious vehicles, and some longer term thinking around quite straightforwardly widening the footways for bikes. We'd appreciate further involvement. twitter.com/StephenCowan/s…
