The redevelopment behind the old fire station at Garden Studios, 14B Hammersmith Broadway, London, has been approved, marking a significant transformation in the area.
The project involves the demolition of the existing structure and the construction of a modern six-storey office building, classified under Class E. This development, spearheaded by Total Real Estate Ltd, with DPP UK Ltd as the planning consultant and Price Parizi as the architect, promises to enhance the local economy by providing additional employment opportunities and affordable workspace.
The redevelopment aligns with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) 2024, the London Plan 2021, and the Local Plan 2018, ensuring compliance with policies related to economy, employment, and land use. The design of the new building is praised for its high quality, respecting the character and appearance of the Hammersmith Broadway conservation area. It preserves the significance of nearby heritage assets, adhering to the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
Concerns regarding the impact on neighbouring residents have been addressed, with the development deemed acceptable in terms of noise, overlooking, and light. Overall, the project is a positive step towards modernizing the area while maintaining its historical essence.
