The unanimous approval by the Hammersmith and Fulham Planning Committee of the redevelopment project at 517 – 523 Fulham Road, London, marks a significant transformation of the Fulham Broadway location.
Located opposite Stamford Bridge, home of the World Club Champions, this development is set to revitalise the local landscape. The project, spearheaded by Trevelyan Developments Ltd., involves converting the existing property from a school (Class F1) to a mixed-use space (Class E) at the basement and ground floor levels. This change will accommodate various businesses, ensuring continued employment opportunities and mitigating the loss of community use.
The upper floors will be transformed into seven self-contained flats (Class C3), contributing to local housing demands. This strategic redevelopment aligns with the London Plan (2021) and the Local Plan (2018), optimising site capacity and providing efficient land use near a bustling town centre. The addition of modern amenities, such as air source heat pumps and secure cycle parking, underscores the project’s commitment to sustainability and urban living.
Architectural enhancements include a three-story extension, a roof terrace, and rear metal balconies, offering residents contemporary living spaces. The development also features a new residential entrance and a 1.8m high security gate, ensuring privacy and safety. By integrating residential units with commercial spaces, the project supports a vibrant mixed-use community, enhancing the area’s appeal.
This redevelopment not only meets local housing needs but also preserves employment opportunities, making it a model for sustainable urban development. Its strategic location and thoughtful design promise to make it a landmark in the Hammersmith and Fulham area.
