Policy documents: The London Plan 2011 Core Strategy 2011 Development Management Local Plan July 2013 Planning Guidance Supplementary Planning Document July 2013 Consultation Comments: Comments from: Environment Agency - Planning Liaison Fulham Society Dated: 05.07.13 03.07.13 Neighbour Comments: Letters from: Dated: 1.0 SITE CONTEXT 1.1 The Site covers an area of approximately 0.48 hectares and accommodates Watermeadow Court which is owned by the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham (LBHF). Watermeadow Court originally comprised 80 flats with 61 tenants and 19 leaseholders. The Site was determined by LBHF's Cabinet in 2008 to be `surplus to Community Services Department requirements'. Following the Council's decision in 2008, the building has been decanted of all but one tenant. Full vacancy of Watermeadow Court is expected Autumn 2013. 1.2 Watermeadow Court is arranged within two blocks of three and four stories in height. The buildings are located around a central amenity and parking area. The properties, constructed in the 1980s are constructed of brick and have pitched tiled roofs. The buildings have little architectural merit and now appear dated having become an unsightly feature in the local townscape. 1.3 The Site is located within the Thames Policy Area, and Zone 3 flood risk area (high flood risk). The Site is not located within an Archaeological Priority Area or within a strategic viewing corridor, and none of the buildings are statutory or locally listed. There are a number of trees and shrubs on the Site which are considered to have little amenity value. The Public Transport Accessibility Level (PTAL) rating for the Site is PTAL 3, representing a medium public transport accessibility level. 1.4 Watermeadow Court site is located within the Sands End Conservation Area, which was designated in March 1991. A profile of the Conservation Area, produced in 1999, after the construction of Watermeadow Court, noted that there are `no buildings or structures of merit on site'. No buildings on site are listed or included on the Local Register of Buildings of Merit. SURROUNDING AREA 1.5 The Site is bound by Townmead Road, Watermeadow Lane and Potters Road. Charlow Close is the main pedestrian and vehicular access into the Site. The Site is located within the South Fulham Riverside Area near the southern edge of Imperial Wharf and is within a short walking distance of the River Thames and approximately 20
minutes walk to Fulham Town Centre. The closest public transport nodes are Imperial Wharf rail and overground station and Fulham Broadway underground station. 1.6 The opposite side of Townmead Road is characterised by two storey Victorian Terrace dwellings. To the south across Watermeadow Lane is the Chelsea Harbour Club, comprising outdoor tennis courts and a four storey building with a warehouse type appearance. To the east of the site between Potters Road and William Morris Way is Quayside Lodge, a three storey office building. The Imperial Wharf development adjoins the site to the north east and contains four storey terrace dwellings, plus mansard roof accommodation. 2.0 PLANNING HISTORY 2.1 There is no relevant planning history for the Site. 3.0 BACKGROUND AND PROPOSALS 3.1 In 2008, Watermeadow Court was declared surplus to requirements by the Council and was identified as a site suitable for disposal. This was because the building provided sub-standard living accommodation particularly in relation to the size of the properties and the internal circulation space. Furthermore, the Council is aware of potential ground contamination issues on site. Having a cleared site would enable the Council to carry out further below ground investigative work. Following the Council's decision in 2008, the building has been decanted of all but one resident leaseholder. The Council is currently negotiating with this leaseholder and full vacancy is expected in Autumn 2013. 3.2 Demolition of Watermeadow Court was agreed in principle by the Council at a Cabinet meeting on 12th November 2012. The main reasons for this are outlined below: • Stop repeat incidents of squatting and fly tipping • Allow for more detailed intrusive site surveys to be undertaken in terms of ground contamination • Accelerate the development programme following the establishment of the Housing and Regeneration Joint Venture (JV) vehicle • Reduce the ongoing management and security costs 3.3 In November 2012, Cabinet also agreed to market the Site as one of the first Opportunity Sites for the Housing and Regeneration Joint Venture vehicle. It is anticipated that the Council will identify a preferred private sector partner for the Joint Venture in September 2013 and appoint one in January 2014. As part of the private sector partner procurement process, the Bidders are developing proposals for redevelopment of the Site for residential purposes and a planning application is expected to be submitted in Spring 2014. The current programme for the demolition is completion during December 2013. It is anticipated that the residential redevelopment proposal will commence early 2015 with completions in late 2016 (subject to planning permissions).
