Condition required to be imposed by section 91(1)(a) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended by section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004). 2) The development shall be carried out and completed only in accordance with the drawings hereby approved. In order to ensure full compliance with the planning permission hereby approved and to prevent harm arising through deviations from the approved plans, in accordance with Policies BE1 and T1 of the Core Strategy 2011, Policies DM G1, DM G7, DM H9, DM J5 and DM J6 of the Development Management Local Plan 2013. 3) There shall be only one Cycle Hire docking station installed in Hurlingham Road In order to ensure that the cumulative impact of more than one Cycle Hire docking station within Hurlingham Road would not harm the existing amenities of the occupiers of neighbouring residential properties or add to the on-street car parking stress and impact on residential amenities in the area, in accordance with Policy T1 of the Core Strategy 2011, and Policies DM J6 and DM H9 of the Development Management Local Plan 2013. Summary of reasons for granting planning permission: 1. Design: The development is considered to comply with the National Planning Policy Framework, Policy BE1 of the Core Strategy 2011, Policies DM G1 and DM G7 Development Management Local Plan 2013, and SPD Design Policy 48 (Setting of the conservation area) and SPD Design Policy 62 (Policies guiding the consideration of applications for consent relating to designated heritage assets) of the Planning Guidance Supplementary Planning Document 2013 which requires a high standard of design in all developments, compatible with the scale and character of existing development and its setting. The proposal has been assessed in terms of its potential impact on the heritage assets within the vicinity of the application site, and is considered that the proposal would preserve and enhance the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of the adjacent Listed Building in accordance with the policies detailed above. 2. Residential Amenity: The impact of the proposed development upon adjoining occupiers is considered acceptable. The proposal would not have an unacceptably harmful impact on neighbouring residential amenity in terms of noise and disturbance. The proposal use would not result in unacceptable noise and disturbance to nearby residents. In this regard, the development would respect the principles of good neighbourliness, and would therefore be acceptable in accordance with Policies DM G1 and DM H9 of the Development Management Local Plan 2013 and SPD Amenity Policy 24 of the Planning Guidance Supplementary Planning Document 2013. 3. Highways matters: It has been demonstrated that the scheme would not have a detrimental impact on the highway network in terms of safety or operation or increase parking stress to an unacceptable level and is thus considered to be acceptable. The proposal would not result in a hazard to pedestrians or other road users. The proposal would assist in reducing private car trips by enabling increased travel by alternative means. The development thereby accords with Policy T1 of the Core Strategy 2011 and Policy DM J5 of the Development Management Local Plan 2013, and SPD Transport Policy 12 of the Planning Guidance Supplementary Planning Document 2013. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT 2000 LIST OF BACKGROUND PAPERS All Background Papers held by Andrew Marshall (Ext: 4841) : Application form received: 13th December 2012 Drawing Nos: see above 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: Dated: Transport For London - Land Use Planning Team 08.01.13 Neighbour Comments : Letters from: Dated: 11napier avenue London Sw63ps 29.07.13 11napier avenue London Sw63ps 29.07.13 NAG 26.07.13 110 Hurlingham Rd London SW6 3NP 16.07.13 1a Napier Ave London sw6 3ps 26.07.13 99 Hurlingham Road London SW6 3NL 22.07.13 100 Hurlingham Road London SW63NR 24.07.13 11 Napier Avenue London SW63PS 23.07.13 11 Napier Avenue London SW63PS 26.07.13 15 Napier Avenue Fulham SW6 3PS 23.07.13 45 Foskett Road SW6 26.07.13 NAG 26.07.13 145 Hurlingham Gardens SW6 3NH 29.07.13 NAG 30.07.13 42 Hurlingham Road London SW6 3RQ 17.07.13 99 Hurlingham Road London SW6 3NL 25.07.13 97 Hurlingham Road London SW6 3NL 01.08.13 107 Hurlingham Road London SW6 3NL 25.07.13 68 Hurlingham Road London SW6 3RQ 29.07.13 66 Hurlingham Road London SW6 3RQ 17.07.13 98 Hurlingham Road London SW6 3NR 11.01.13 99 Hurlingham Road London SW6 3NL 16.01.13 97 Hurlingham Road London SW6 3NL 30.07.13 The Vineyard 76 Hurlingham Road London SW6 3NR 04.02.13 102 Hurlingham Road London SW6 3NR 20.01.13 97 Hurlingham Road London SW63NL 14.01.13 98 Hurlingham Road London SW6 3NR 15.07.13 102 Hurlingham Road London SW6 3NR 29.07.13 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 The application relates to an area on the south side of Hurlingham Road between the bowling green in Hurlingham Park and number 97 Hurlingham Road. The application site is within the Hurlingham Conservation Area. Part of the application site lies opposite The Vineyard and further east along Hurlingham Road, the Stable building, both Grade II Listed Buildings. The application proposes the installation of a cycle hire docking station, containing 27 cycle docking points plus a terminal, in connection with the expansion of Transport for London's cycle hire scheme. A separate application for the installation of 21 cycle docking points has also been submitted to the east of the application site, on the carriageway adjacent to Field Cottage. 1.2 Transport for London (TfL) has coordinated the implementation of a comprehensive cycle hire scheme in London on behalf of the Mayor of London. The cycle hire scheme was launched by the Mayor in July 2010 and by the end of September 2012 over 16.7 million journeys had been made. 1.3 The scheme provides safe and convenient public access to bicycles for short trips, especially for those who do not usually cycle or own a bicycle. It promotes the Mayors vision for a sustainable and low emission transport system within London by actively encouraging cycling. The cycle hire scheme is set out in the Mayors cycling strategy (Cycling Revolution London, 2010), along with other TfL initiatives, which will bring significant social, environmental, health and financial benefits to the Capital. Building on the success of the scheme to date with 8,000 bicycles operating from 587 docking stations, the Mayor has announced his intention to expand the scheme westwards, to cover the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham and the London Borough of Wandsworth. In addition to expanding the scheme area, TfL is also currently intensifying the number of docking points in the existing zone. 1.4 Planning permission was originally granted for the proposed development

Chapter 7 Heritage - Neglect & Destruction February 2018 The “Lillie Enclave” Fulham Within a quarter mile radius of Lillie Bridge, by West Brompton station is A microcosm of the Industrial Revolution - A part of London’s forgotten heritage The enclave runs from Lillie Bridge along Lillie Road to North End Road and includes Empress (formerly Richmond) Place to the north and Seagrave Road, SW6 to the south. The roads were named by the Fulham Board of Works in 1867 Between the Grade 1 Listed Brompton Cemetery in RBKC and its Conservation area in Earl’s Court and the Grade 2 Listed Hermitage Cottages in H&F lies an astonishing industrial and vernacular area of heritage that English Heritage deems ripe for obliteration.

  • How Understanding a Railway's Historic Evolution Can Guide Future
    College of Engineering, School of Civil Engineering University of Birmingham Managing Technical and Operational Change: How understanding a railway’s historic evolution can guide future development: A London Underground case study. by Piers Connor Submitted as his PhD Thesis DATE: 15th February 2017 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Managing Technical & Operational Development PhD Thesis Abstract The argument for this thesis is that patterns of past engineering and operational development can be used to support the creation of a good, robust strategy for future development and that, in order to achieve this, a corporate understanding of the history of the engineering, operational and organisational changes in the business is essential for any evolving railway undertaking. It has been the objective of the author of this study to determine whether it is essential that the history and development of a railway undertaking be known and understood by its management and staff in order for the railway to function in an efficient manner and for it to be able to develop robust and appropriate improvement strategies in a cost-effective manner.

  • London Transport Railways
    London Transport Railways The following selection of images is of the stock displayed in the “Underground Centenary” exhibition held at Neasden Depot, which we visited on Saturday 25th May 1963...... Sadly and inexplicably the Metropolitan Railway F class 0-6-2T locomotive L52 featured here was scrapped soon afterwards, but most of the other items, or examples of them were preserved at the later London Transport Museum, on the Bluebell and Worth Valley Railways, and elsewhere. In 1963 and for about 10 years afterwards, there was still plenty of vintage interest to be seen out and about on the London Transport lines. The picture (right) shows a train of Metropolitan F stock at New Cross Gate, East London Line, on 17th August 1963...... and here is an old G stock motor car trailing a District line train out of Richmond station on a very wet and misty morning of 4th April 1964...... On that day we travelled extensively around the extremities of the system on a “Combined Rover” day ticket. At the former Great Eastern Railway station of Woodford, Essex we were surprised to find an “automatic” or “driverless” train trial in progress using one of the experimental units, on the Hainault Loop line. These were the first tests of the system later used on the new Victoria Line. Note the aerial on the front of the cab, and temporary wiring...... The weather did not improve as we ventured on to Epping, then to Ongar....... The latter still retaining its air of a country branch terminus despite the use of modern stock (right) A contrast between station architectures is seen at Cockfosters (below left), an iconic LT 1930s design, and High Barnet (right) almost unaltered from its origins as a Great Northern Railway branch terminus...

  • LATIMER ROAD – UXBRIDGE ROAD and SINGLE LINE to OLYMPIA INTRODUCTION This Is Another Article Based on Redundant London Transport Files
    LATIMER ROAD – UXBRIDGE ROAD AND SINGLE LINE TO OLYMPIA INTRODUCTION This is another article based on redundant London Transport files. The file also contains details of some other schemes, which will also be included because they were in the same vicinity and were linked to each other to a greater or lesser degree. Metropolitan Railway electric trains first reached Kensington (Addison Road)1 from 5 November 1906 which was the same date as when electric trains began working on the Hammersmith & City Line. Trains reversed in the north-east bay platforms (Below), each of them being electrified. In the photograph a six-car 1906 H&C Stock train is seen. It is not clear when the photograph was taken but it must have been in early electric days during a special event, or maybe even the opening day. Note that the through and main platform tracks are not electrified. The LNWR electric service between Willesden Junction and Earl’s Court began on 1 May 1914, initially with B Stock borrowed from the District Railway until the LNWR’s own electric trains were ready – these began running from 22 November 1914. The unelectrified tracks in the photo above would by then have gained current rails. Four three-car trains were built by Metropolitan Carriage and had Siemens equipment2. Although longer trains operated on both the Metropolitan and LMS services when there were exhibitions at Olympia, three-car trains on each service was the norm. Opposite: Three-car trains of 1906 Hammersmith & City Joint Met/GWR Stock on the Edgware Road – Kensington (Addison Road) service.
