INCLUSIVE DESIGN 5.1

INCLUSIVE DESIGN

All appropriate standards of inclusive design have been considered and have been included in the proposal from an early stage and will continue as an essential part of the design. The design has developed with regard to mandatory access standards and it is intended that the scheme has the capacity to meet wider best practice access standards. The project will have flush thresholds and a number of lifts that will give access to the upper floors and also the basement car park.

The intentions are:• To maximise access to all parts of the development for residents and visitors regardless of

disability;• To ensure that wherever possible appropriate standards for accessibility can be met at the outset

as part of mainstream inclusive design;• To meet requirements of The Building Regulations Approved Document M – Access to and Use

of Buildings, 2004;• To meet the aims of the Equality Act 2010 (since 1 October 2010),• To follow design guidance given in relevant British Standards, and other currently published good

practice detailing the needs of disabled people where possible; and • To meet local authority access policies where relevant.


WASTE MANAGEMENT, DELIVERIES 5.2

BENEFITS ARISING FROM SWMP

The sWmP will allow for the following:• improve efficiency and profitability by promoting reuse, recycling and recovery of waste, rather than disposal;• Reduce fly-tipping by keeping a full audit trail of waste removed from sites and complying with waste duty of care regulations; and• increase environmental awareness of staff and management- The environmental management performance is likely to improve the more staff are aware of their responsibilities. including site Waste management Plan information in induction training or as part of environmental awareness training can help with this aim.

WasTe managemenT

inTRoduCTionlRg hotel london limited has instructed Vectos to provide highways and Transportation advice in respect of a proposed casino located adjacent to The holiday inn kensington forum (the hotel) on the a4 Cromwell Road, Royal Borough of kensington and Chelsea (RBkC).

RBkC, as part of pre-application discussions has requested that a draft site Waste management Plan (sWmP) is provided. The sWmP relates to the disposal of arising’s generated by construction and demolition, with a focus on environmental health and sustainability. This sWmP is a draft heads of terms, with a full sWmP developed by the appointed contractor in association with the Construction and logistics Plan. it is anticipated that this will be required as part of a condition of approval.

sTRuCTuRe and ConTenT of sWmPThe full sWmP will identify the type and volume of material to be demolished and/or excavated, opportunities for reuse and recovery of materials and demonstrate how off‐site disposal of waste will be minimised and managed. This will include:• What kind of waste the site produces;• how waste is disposed of, e.g. reuse, recycle, landfill; and• Who the waste carrier is and their registration number.

The sWmP is eXPeCTed To addRess ThRee sTages

stage 1 - Preparation• identify responsibilities for preparation and implementation of the sWmP;• Record all design, waste management and minimisation decisions;• forecast waste types & quantities; and• identify waste management options/routes (Reduce/Reuse/Recycle/Recover/dispose). stage 2 - implementation• duty of Care: identify waste management services & contractors;• Training & communication of the sWmP;• measurement of actual waste arisings onsite; and• monitor implementation of sWmP.

stage 3 - Review• Carry out post-construction sWmP review


CONCLUSION 6.0


CONCLUSION 6.0

CONCLUSION

The proposals provide the opportunity to significantly enhance the visual appearance of the hotel from the Cromwell Road and the surrounding streets at ground level. These works, in conjunction with the proposed landscape enhancements of the garden square, will vastly improve the visual amenity and townscape of the local area, reinforcing the adjacent historic building line along the Cromwell Road.

We have tackled the issue of active street frontages by revisiting the internal layouts of the casino and there are now two entrances into the building from the Cromwell Road. The first is to the casino and the second is to the restaurant and bar. The revisions to the internal layout now mean that the restaurant enjoys the ground floor windows facing the street, providing an interesting and animated view, which optimises the extent of public use and improves townscape legibility. The casino itself will provide visual interest and activity at this section of the Cromwell Road and will draw the eye away from the existing building, which is identified as an eyesore by RBKC.

The proposal will include the extension of the existing railing line, proposed removal of the concrete ventilation structures and new paths and enhancements will form a package of qualitative enhancements to the London Square Land, especially at the western perimeter. This consolidation will promote a more holistic use of the land within the hotel’s ownership by local residents and will represent a considerable amenity benefit for to the community.

The proposals will also facilitate the cessation of The Mint casino at 45 Cromwell Road, providing the opportunity for additional residential units at this location.

Overall, the proposals provide major enhancements to the local area in terms of urban design, townscape repair and amenity improvements. The public benefits of allowing local residents access to this area of London Square Land should be regarded as significant and these proposals provide a high quality response to what is an area of land that fails to provide any real benefits to the local community. On this basis, we consider that the development is in accordance with RBKC's Core Strategy, Development policies document, and Planning Guidance documents. The proposal represents an important opportunity to deliver a more efficient and attractive form of development that will complement and enhance the streetscape.
