egeneration of the White City area and Strategic Policies B and C and CF1 of the
Hammersmith and Fulham Core Strategy (2011).
Design: It is considered that the proposed rooftop extension would relate
sympathetically to the existing rooftop office box and the main shopping centre
building, in terms of scale, height, materials, massing and bulk and would
comprise the prerequisite high quality required for new development. It is
considered that although being visible from views from the east, there are no
sensitive views from within LBHF or the neighbouring Royal Borough of
Kensington and Chelsea that are affected. As such, it is considered that the
proposed development would not have any adverse impact on the setting of
nearby conservation areas or local townscape and the proposed development
would positively contribute to the skyline of this part of White City. The proposed
development is therefore considered acceptable in accordance with policies 7.1,
7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7 and 7.8 of the London Plan (2011) requiring high quality
inclusive development providing safe and secure environments which respond to
their setting and are of high architectural quality with high quality public realm and
policies BE1, WCOA and WCOA1 of the London Borough of Hammersmith and
Fulham Core Strategy (2011) requiring a high quality urban environment and
policies DM G1, DM G3 and DM G7 requiring development does not harm the
setting of conservation areas and listed buildings and is of a high standard of
design.
Residential Amenity: It is considered that given the scale, height and position of
the extension representing a continuation of the existing rooftop office box, and the
urban context adjacent to the site which includes the West Cross Route, West
London line and the H-junction, the impact of the proposals, in terms of
overshadowing, privacy, daylight and sunlight to existing surrounding properties
would be acceptable and in accordance with policies 3.5, 3.6, 3.8, 7.3, 7.6, 7.7,
7.14 and 7.15 of the London Plan (2011), policies BE1 of the London Borough of
Hammersmith and Fulham Core Strategy (2011) and policies DM G1 and DM G3
of the Development Management Local Plan.
Transport and Parking: No additional car parking to serve the proposed
development is considered to be necessary in light of the current on-site parking
capacity to cater for any additional demand. It is considered that the existing
parking provision, coupled with the high public transport capacity of the site would
ensure that the extended office floorspace would be easily accessible for visitors
and staff. It is considered that the overall traffic impact of the proposed
development (of the extended office floorspace) would be marginal and as such,
the traffic impact would be acceptable and in accordance with policy DM J1 of the
Development Management Local Plan. The proposed cycle parking levels are
considered to be acceptable in light of the existing provision, and therefore would
be in accordance policy DM G5 set by the Development Management Local Plan.
It is considered that any impacts arising from the development would be mitigated
by conditions. Subject to conditions, the proposed development is therefore
considered acceptable in accordance with policies 6.1, 6.3, 6.9, 6.10, 6.11, 6.13,
of the London Plan (2011) and policy T1 and CC3 of the London Borough of
Hammersmith and Fulham Core Strategy (2011) and policies DM J2, DM J3 and
DM J5 of the DM Local Plan (2013).
