The Planning and Development Control Committee meeting on Tuesday 14 April 2026 discussed several significant planning applications, including a major redevelopment of Phoenix Academy, amendments to the former Dairy Crest site masterplan, and proposals for new residential developments. Key decisions included the refusal of the Phoenix Academy redevelopment due to concerns over design, heritage impact, and quality of accommodation, while approving amendments to the Dairy Crest site masterplan to incorporate academic floorspace and revise servicing and energy strategies. The committee also approved new residential developments at the Grange, Becklow Gardens, and the former Chapel site, alongside a conversion of the Stuart Building at Sacred Heart High School into a theatre.

Phoenix Academy Redevelopment Refused

The committee refused the application for the demolition and redevelopment of Phoenix Academy, located on The Curve, London W12 0RQ. The proposal included the construction of two new residential buildings of two to eight storeys containing 307 flats, and a new school building of two to five storeys. Eight reasons for refusal were cited, including concerns about the design, scale, and massing leading to an overbearing development harmful to the townscape and skyline. Significant harm was also identified to the Old Oak and Wormholt Conservation Area. Furthermore, the quality of accommodation was deemed inadequate due to insufficient daylight and sunlight for future occupiers, and the development was found to fail to provide adequate sports facilities and affordable housing in terms of amount, tenure, mix, and location. Concerns were also raised about biodiversity net gain, loss of trees, and the provision of school parking.

Former Dairy Crest Site Masterplan Amendments Approved

Amendments to the outline planning permission for the former Dairy Crest site, located beneath and bounded by the Westway and West London Railway Line, were approved. The Section 73 application sought to vary conditions related to design codes, parameters, use, floorspace, BREEAM ratings, car parking, and electric vehicle charging points. Key changes include the introduction of up to 42,200 sqm of academic floor space within Development Zone 3, a minor increase in the southern maximum building height, and a revised energy strategy favouring a heat pump-led system over a CHP system. The development was praised for its contribution to the local economy and employment, its continued delivery of 373 homes including 35% affordable housing, and its commitment to sustainability.

New Residential Developments Approved

Several new residential developments received approval:

• Land to the Rear of The Grange, 218 Goldhawk Road, London W12 9PD: An application for the redevelopment of the site, including the demolition of existing garages and the erection of an eight-dwelling, four-storey residential building, was approved. The development will provide 100% affordable housing, with 75% as shared ownership and 25% as social rent. The scheme was commended for its design quality and positive contribution to the streetscape.
• Land Between Becklow Gardens and Askew Crescent, Shepherd's Bush: Planning permission was granted for a part three-storey and part five-storey residential building comprising 20 dwellings. All units will be affordable housing, with 30% social rent and 70% shared ownership. The development includes associated rooftop PV panels, amenity spaces, public realm improvements, and a new playground. The design was praised as being a good-looking building that enhances the streetscape.
• The Chapel, Archel Road, London W14 9QH: A change of use application for the former Grenadian Consulate building to a nursery was approved. The nursery will accommodate 80 preschool pupils and 35 staff. The proposal involves minimal internal alterations and no external changes, with temporary ramps to ensure accessibility. The decision was made despite the building's location in Flood Risk Zone 3, with mitigation measures secured by condition. The change of use was deemed acceptable due to the identified local demand for nursery provision and the activation of a vacant building.

Sacred Heart High School Theatre Conversion Approved

Planning permission and listed building consent were granted for the conversion of the Stuart Building, an existing school gymnasium, into a school theatre and performing arts centre at Sacred Heart High School, 212 Hammersmith Road, London W6 7DG. The proposal includes an extension to the east elevation to create foyer facilities and an infill extension to the west elevation. The project aims to provide enhanced educational facilities for the school and a space for community use outside of school hours. While some less than substantial harm was identified to the Grade II* listed building, this was outweighed by the public benefits, including improved educational capabilities and community access. The design was considered high quality and sympathetic to the existing campus.

The Matrix Studios Complex Expansion Approved

Permission was granted for the erection of two additional floors at roof level to create 1,229 sqm of new Class E(g)(i) floorspace at The Matrix Studios Complex, 91A Peterborough Road, London SW6 3BU. The proposal also includes solar panels, rooflights, ground and first-floor extensions, and alterations to the facades. This expansion aims to provide additional workspace, including 100 sqm of affordable space, supporting the site's role as a creative employment hub. The development was deemed acceptable in terms of height, bulk, and impact on surrounding properties and heritage assets, with conditions to manage construction impacts.

Phoenix Academy Redevelopment Refused

The committee refused the application for the redevelopment of Phoenix Academy, citing concerns over design, heritage impact, residential amenity, loss of sports facilities, and inadequate affordable housing provision. Councillor Natalia Pérez, representing White City Ward, highlighted the severe impact on neighbours' living conditions due to substantial losses of daylight and sunlight. Councillor Alex Karmel, also a ward councillor, expressed concerns about the scheme's insensitivity to the conservation area and the lack of genuine community consultation. Councillor Nicole Trehy, Cabinet Member for Climate Emergency and Travel, supported the officer's recommendation for refusal, emphasizing the significant harm caused by the development.

Former Dairy Crest Site Masterplan Amendments Approved

Amendments to the outline planning permission for the former Dairy Crest site were approved. These changes allow for the incorporation of academic floorspace, revise servicing and energy strategies, and adopt a car-free approach for residential elements. The development will continue to deliver 373 homes, with 35% affordable housing, and is expected to generate significant employment opportunities. The revised energy strategy, moving to an all-electric system with air source heat pumps, was particularly noted as a positive step towards sustainability.

These changes allow for the introduction of academic floorspace, revise servicing and energy strategies, and adopt a car-free approach for residential elements. The development will continue to provide 373 homes, with 35% affordable housing, and is expected to generate significant employment. The revised energy strategy, utilizing air source heat pumps, was highlighted as a positive move towards sustainability.

New Residential Developments Approved

Several new residential developments received approval:

• Land to the Rear of The Grange, 218 Goldhawk Road, London W12 9PD: An application for an eight-dwelling, four-storey residential building was approved. The development will offer 100% affordable housing, comprising 75% shared ownership and 25% social rent. The design was praised for its quality and positive contribution to the streetscape.
• Land Between Becklow Gardens and Askew Crescent, Shepherd's Bush: Planning permission was granted for a part three-storey and part five-storey residential building with 20 dwellings. All units will be affordable housing (30% social rent, 70% shared ownership) and will include rooftop PV panels, amenity spaces, public realm improvements, and a new playground. The design was commended for its aesthetic appeal and enhancement of the streetscape.
• The Chapel, Archel Road, London W14 9QH: A change of use application to establish a nursery within the former Grenadian Consulate building was approved. The nursery will accommodate 80 children and 35 staff, with minimal internal alterations and no external changes. Mitigation measures for flood risk and air quality were secured by condition. The proposal was deemed acceptable due to identified local demand for nursery provision and the activation of a vacant building.

Sacred Heart High School Theatre Conversion Approved

Planning permission and listed building consent were granted for the conversion of the Stuart Building at Sacred Heart High School into a theatre and performing arts centre. The project includes extensions to create foyer facilities and associated works. The conversion aims to enhance educational capabilities and provide a community space. While some less than substantial harm to the Grade II* listed building was acknowledged, it was outweighed by the public benefits, including improved educational facilities and community access. The design was considered high quality and sympathetic to the existing campus.

The Matrix Studios Complex Expansion Approved

Permission was granted for the erection of two additional floors at roof level at The Matrix Studios Complex, creating 1,229 sqm of new Class E(g)(i) floorspace. The proposal also includes solar panels, rooflights, ground and first-floor extensions, and facade alterations. This expansion aims to support the site's role as a creative employment hub, providing additional workspace and securing affordable workspace provision. The development was deemed acceptable regarding its impact on heritage assets and neighbouring amenity, with conditions to manage construction impacts.

Phoenix Academy Redevelopment Refused

The committee refused the application for the redevelopment of Phoenix Academy, citing concerns over design, heritage impact, residential amenity, loss of sports facilities, and inadequate affordable housing provision. Councillor Natalia Pérez highlighted the severe impact on neighbours' living conditions due to daylight and sunlight loss, while Councillor Alex Karmel noted the scheme's insensitivity to the conservation area and lack of genuine community consultation. Councillor Nicole Trehy supported the refusal, emphasizing the significant harm caused.
