Planning appeal decision
Upper Floors, 425 New King's Road, London, SW6 4RN
Planning appeal 3343647 at Upper Floors, 425 New King's Road, London, SW6 4RN (London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham) was dismissed on 12 November 2024 by Inspector Cresswell C, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the proposed development is permitted by Schedule 2, Part 3, Class MA of the GPDO, having particular regard to MA.2(2)(d) impacts of noise from commercial premises on the intended occupiers of the development, and MA.2(2)(a) transport impacts of the development, particularly to ensure safe site access.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development is permitted by Schedule 2, Part 3, Class MA of the GPDO, having particular regard to MA.2(2)(d) impacts of noise from commercial premises on the intended occupiers of the development, and MA.2(2)(a) transport impacts of the development, particularly to ensure safe site access
What decided it
The lack of clear evidence that the proposed noise mitigation measures could be fully implemented, particularly the substantial structural alterations required to the separating floor and uncertainty about the ability to alter the leased ground floor premises, meant the Inspector could not determine with certainty that noise from the public house would be successfully managed in breach of MA.2(2)(d) of the GPDO.
