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

We have now received the necessary permission from RBKC to implement the one-way system on Pelham Street and associated traffic diversion to facilitate an on-street loading bay for construction vehicles while the new buildings at 40 and 80 Pelham Street are delivered.

From Monday 16 September, there will be one-way traffic along Pelham Street travelling from South Kensington Station towards Brompton Road. This will mean that vehicles will not be able to enter Pelham Street from Brompton Road but will be diverted north along Brompton Road to the A4 (shown in green on the diversion map below). Buses will however be permitted to left turn onto Fulham Road and then turn right onto Sydney Place, shown in orange on the diversion map below).

The one-way system will be in place from Monday morning to Friday evening, returning to two-way traffic at the weekend, with the diversion and one way system reinstated on Monday mornings.

A thorough signage strategy will be in place to direct traffic to the diversion route and inform drivers which roads are for local access only for residents.
