The meeting began with Councillor Omid Miri introducing new committee members, Councillor Nicole Trehy and Councillor Ross Melton, and thanking former members, Councillor Rebecca Harvey and Councillor Wesley Harcourt, for their service. The meeting then proceeded to discuss three main applications.
Roberts House, 99-103 Hammersmith Road
The first application was for the change of use of the first, second, and third floors from offices to six residential units. The listed building consent also covered internal alterations, including the installation of secondary glazing and the creation of partitioning walls. The ground floor retail unit is currently vacant, and there is a gym in the basement. Concerns were raised about potential noise from the gym affecting the new residential units, but it was noted that there is a floor between the gym and the residential units, and additional soundproofing will be required. The application was approved with conditions, including a contribution of £120,000 towards environmental improvements.
Advertisement Hoarding Adjacent to 3 Blacks Road
The second application was for the installation of a freestanding, internally illuminated digital LED screen. The screen will be positioned on the pavement on Blacks Road and will face Hammersmith Bridge Road. The site was previously occupied by a digital advert screen, which was removed in 2021. The new screen will have a thinner frame and conditions will control illumination levels and image intervals. Concerns about traffic safety were addressed by ensuring the screen does not conflict with existing traffic signs. The application was approved.
Pippa Poppins Nursery, 165-167 New Kings Road
The third application was to make permanent a temporary permission granted in 2020, allowing the nursery to increase its capacity from 70 to 90 pupils and extend its operating hours from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The nursery has been operating at this capacity for four years without any formal complaints. An updated travel plan and operational management plan will be required to address traffic and parking concerns. The application was approved.
Quenington Mansions, Ross Trevor Road
The final application was for the renovation and refurbishment of Quenington Mansions, including the installation of air source heat pumps and solar panels on the roof. Concerns were raised about the impact on daylight and noise for neighboring properties. Officers assured that the proposal met the relevant guidelines and conditions were imposed to ensure noise levels remain within acceptable limits. The application was approved.
