Construction information
Minismising construction impact
We recognise the need for the works to be carried out in a manner that limits the day-to-day impact on our neighbours. To help achieve this, a series measures are proposed, including:
- Considered timing and routes for construction vehicles, ensuring safe access and minimum disruption to the local community.
- Retaining full access for deliveries and collections to and from our neighbours.
- Continuous monitoring of noise, dust and vibration levels.
- Erection of scaffolding and safety hoarding around the sites.
- Regular communications from the project team to ensure the local community are fully informed of upcoming works.

Managing traffic and deliveries
A one-way system is in place along Pelham Street to help facilitate an on-street loading bay for construction vehicles. The system is in operation from Monday morning to Friday afternoon and the street reverts to two-way traffic at the weekend.
The diversion route includes:
- One-way traffic along Pelham Street travelling from South Kensington Station to Brompton Road (shown in blue on the map).
- No entry to Pelham Street from Brompton Road – vehicles are diverted north to the A4 (shown in green on the map).
- Buses using Brompton Road avoid Pelham Street and instead turn right onto Sydney Place (shown in orange on the map).
There is signage in key locations to direct traffic, which clearly indicates where access is reserved for residents only.
