Constraints and Opportunities Diagram

• The low mixed-use and residential context to the north-east needs to be considered (King’s Road/Cambria Street)

• The distance between the proposal and existing residential properties on Kings Road and Cambria Street needs to be considered

• Existing service arrangements to the north of the site (towards King’s Road)

• The site is adjacent to the Moore Park Conservation Area.

• To provide good quality housing in a predominantly residential context

• The site is also in a good location for good quality office space to complement the established commercial uses

• The site has prominent street frontage on Michael Road which can be enhanced and made more active

• Close proximity to Fulham Broadway Underground Station and buses

• Walking distance to a number of local amenities including commercial premises on Kings Road making it an attractive place to live

• The two blocks vary in scale

• Both blocks relate to the different building heights in the surrounding context

• Building A is 7 storeys which relates to the forthcoming developments on the Harley Davidson site and the Gas Works development.

• It has been designed to respond to the neighbouring proposed scheme where the heights of the built environment start to increase dramatically

• Building B is 5 storeys with a stepped massing towards the rear of Cambria Street properties.

• It addresses the relatively small-scale adjacent

• Both buildings have recessed top floors

• The proposals respond to the existing residential buildings and the emerging context
