Ravenscourt Park Hospital – Notification of amendments to planning application
Dear neighbours,
We are getting back in touch on behalf of the TT group to provide an update on plans for Ravenscourt Park Hospital. As you know, we submitted a planning application to London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham (LBHF) in November 2023 for the proposed restoration and conversion of the former Royal Masonic Hospital and subsequently submitted amendments to LBHF in August 2024.
Since then, TT has been in ongoing discussions with LBHF Planning and Highways officers primarily regarding Blocks E and F, basement car parking and other access arrangements.
As a result of these discussions, we have submitted further amendments to the council which include the following changes to the scheme:
Car parking: The originally proposed basement car park has been removed. Blue badge car parking will be relocated to street level at both Ravenscourt Square and Ravenscourt Park accesses. Additional street level car parking for the care home also provided outside of Block F.
Cycle storage: Will be relocated out of the basement. An internal cycle store will be provided within the ground floor of Block C (with no external elevational alterations).
Landscape updates: Landscaping has been updated to reflect the above changes. A planted border will also be added to the pond in Block B’s courtyard to enhance biodiversity whilst maintaining its historic character.
Building layout changes: The internal layouts of Blocks E and F have been adjusted following the removal of basement car lifts. Entrances have been redesigned to provide more generous entrances, especially on the west side of Block F.
Building design: The facades of Blocks E & F have been reconsidered to better relate to the surrounding conservation area and the setting of the Grade II* listed former hospital buildings. The design of the Ravenscourt Square elevation has been divided into clear vertical sections to reflect the proportions of the surrounding houses and villas.
Further details about these amendments are available to view on our project website
www.ravenscourtparkhospital.info and the full amendment pack can be viewed on the council’s website.
If you have any questions regarding the above, please do feel free to get in touch with the team.
Kind regards,
Alice Jones
