The Planning and Development Control Committee of Hammersmith and Fulham Council met on 11 November 2025, and approved a variation to a prior planning permission, and the change of use and refurbishment of an existing building. Councillors also approved the redevelopment of an existing site, but added a new condition to prevent the commercial unit from being converted into additional residential units without planning permission.

Planning Decisions

316 Wandsworth Bridge Road

The committee approved the redevelopment of the existing site at 316 Wandsworth Bridge Road to erect a four-storey mixed-use building. The building will have commercial floorspace (Class E¹) at part of the ground floor, with nine residential units (Class C3²) at ground, first, second and third floor levels. The development will also have associated cycle parking, refuse storage and amenity space.

Councillor Alex Karmel proposed a new condition:

to prevent the conversion of the commercial unit (Class E use) permitted on the ground floor into additional residential units under permitted development rights without applying for planning permission. This was to enable the cumulative impact of the scheme to be considered by the officers. Authority to be granted to the officers to secure this by the appropriate wording.

The committee voted 5 for and 2 against, and the new condition was carried. The committee then voted to approve the officer recommendations for approval as amended by the addendum and the committee.
