The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has identified the following matters that the Applicant should address in advance of later regulatory stages: Means of escape The proposed floor plan drawings illustrate a single shaft mechanical smoke ventilation system within the common residential corridor. It is stated in the Applicant's design note dated 29/09/2023 that Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis will determine the adequacy of the system and the size of the smoke shafts required. It is therefore noted that CFD (computational fluid dynamics) analysis has not yet been undertaken such that it has informed the development design presented to the LPA. Design changes to determine the size of the smoke shaft, following CFD analysis, may affect land use planning considerations relating to the design and layout of the development. It will be for the Applicant to demonstrate compliance at later regulatory stages. Fire service access and facilities The application has been amended by the introduction of a second stair core and fire-fighting/evacuation lift to the top of the building. HSE welcomes the introduction of a second staircase and lift. Item 2 of the Applicant's design note suggests that, with the introduction of the second stair, the requirement for a pressurisation system to protect the stair is no longer needed and the provision of automatic opening vents (AOV) to the head of each stair and AOV windows to lift lobbies are proposed. It is also stated the system will be designed and approved by a specialist contractor. It will be for the Applicant to demonstrate compliance at later regulatory stages. Floor plan drawings appear to illustrate the introduction of a dual entry fire-fighting lift adjacent the common residential corridor. A fire curtain is installed to the south side entry doors, however, information relating to the fire resistance of the fire curtain was not included in the planning application. BS EN 81-72 states: 'During fire-fighting operation either the front or rear doors on any particular floor will have been chosen for the firefighter to exit the lift. The remaining lift door that is not intended to open during firefighting operations needs to be provided with an automatic fire shutter that will close at the latest on operation of the firefighters lift switch. It is necessary that this shutter when closed provides the same level of insulation and integrity as that provided by the lift well structure.' It will be for the Applicant to demonstrate compliance at later regulatory stages. The proposed fire-fighting lifts will run blind through floors where the medical centre is located. Any proposal for the firefighting staircase to run blind through a floor may affect the setting up of a bridgehead for firefighting operations on the floors above and, therefore, the local fire and rescue service should be consulted.

Secured by Design
Kensington and Chelsea has high crime rates and it is important to observe the Secured by Design (SBD) principles in designing new buildings. SBD is known as the 'Police Preferred specification' and compliance with this specification is more comprehensive than Approved Document Q of the Building Regulations.ÿ You are advised to refer to the Secured by Design website for the appropriate guides and approved product: https://www.securedbydesign.com/ . If properly applied you are recommended to then seek SBD accreditation for your development, separate to the requirement to comply with the planning condition.

CTMPs - Reminder to be Sensitive
You should engage with neighbours and local residents associations in advance of submitting your final Demolition Traffic Management Plan (DTMP) and Construction Traffic Management Plan (CTMP) required by conditions.ÿÿ It also advisable to engage in further pre-application discussions with the Local Planning Authority prior to submission of the DTMP and CTMP.ÿ You are reminded of the purpose of the DTMP and CTMP, which is to mitigate impact upon the living conditions enjoyed by residents of neighbouring properties as well as to ensure the safe and unobstructed function of the highways in the vicinity.ÿ You are also reminded of the membership of the Considerate Constructors Scheme, required by condition and which has similar objectives.ÿ Care and sensitivity is required when carrying out development in residential areas.ÿ

The Landscape and Ecological Management Plan required by condition should consider the following: There is some evidence of bird use on buildings but these are likely to be common species that are not reliant on the application site alone and no further bird nesting surveys are required at this time. Any works to alter or remove semi-mature trees, security lighting or building works on the flat roof areas should be done outside of bird nesting season (march to August inclusive). If this is not possible, a suitably qualified ecologist will need to inspect the feature immediately prior to works to check for the presence or absence of nesting birds. If an active nest is recorded, work in the vicinity must stop immediately. Active nests will need to be left with an appropriate buffer until young birds have fledged and the nest is no longer active. Any loss of nesting habitats should be compensated for in new planting, to include native species and those with wildlife benefit. Reference is made to the installation of six integrated bat boxes. These should be installed between east and south facing locations. Reference is made to the installation of six bird boxes including 3 x swift boxes and 3 x house sparrow boxes. These should be located in shade (building or tree) or oriented between north and east facing locations to avoid strong sunlight. Annual bird box checks should include cleaning as well as identification of any damage. Consider using swift bricks integrated into the fabric of the building. The site has potential to support foraging and commuting bats and wildlife-friendly lighting should be designed in line with Bat Conservation Trust and Institute of Lighting Professionals guidelines. External lighting design has not been provided, but measures should include:ÿ Use of low-UV warn-white LED bulbs with directional, downward facing and shielded lights;ÿ Lighting pointing away from areas of new green infrastructure;ÿ External lights subject to curfew controls to reduce light pollution when not needed.ÿ Where deep planters are planned against a wall, consider adding some deadwood habitat or bug hotel at the back of the bed to support invertebrates.ÿÿ

Thames Water has provided the following advice: Waste Comments Groundwater discharges typically result from construction site dewatering, deep excavations, basement infiltration, borehole installation, testing and site remediation. We would expect the developer to demonstrate what measures will be undertaken to minimise groundwater discharges into the public sewer. A Groundwater Risk Management Permit from Thames Water will be required for discharging groundwater into a public sewer. Any discharge made without a permit is deemed illegal and may result in prosecution under the provisions of the Water Industry Act 1991. We would expect the developer to demonstrate what measures they will undertake to minimise groundwater discharges into the public sewer. Permit enquiries should be directed to Thames Water's Risk Management Team by telephoning 020 3577 9483 or by emailing [email protected] . Application forms should be completed on line via www.thameswater.co.uk. Please refer to the Wholsesale; Business customers; Groundwater discharges section. As required by Building Regulations part H paragraph 2.36, Thames Water requests that the Applicant should incorporate within their proposal, protection to the property to prevent sewage flooding, by installing a positive pumped device (or equivalent reflecting technological advances), on the assumption that the sewerage network may surcharge to ground level during storm conditions. If as part of the basement development there is a proposal to discharge ground water to the public network, this would require a Groundwater Risk Management Permit from Thames Water The proposed development is located within 15 metres of a strategic sewer. Piling has the potential to significantly impact / cause failure of local underground sewerage utility infrastructure.
