A series of planning applications have been submitted in Hammersmith and Fulham, outlining major redevelopment projects in West London. Among these proposals is the transformation of a residential car park into three luxury flats and a significant revamp of the Liverpool Street Station.

The residential car park project, led by Architects Studio Varey, proposes the construction of three luxury flats and a basement on the premises. The plans include a duplex spanning the lower and upper ground floors, with the remaining flats occupying the first and second floors. The exterior is expected to be clad in brick, in a nod to the site’s former use as a brickyard. The land, currently owned by Hammersmith and Fulham Council, is subjected to a risk assessment by EnviroSolution Ltd, indicating a moderate to high risk of contamination due to its brickyard history.

In a separate project, the plans reveal the demolition of 73 Stephenson Street and an adjacent storage building to make way for a block of 33 flats. The proposed structure, as per documents on Hammersmith and Fulham’s planning portal, shows a part 3, part 8 storey block connected by a three-storey portico to The Clubhouse at 76/78 Goodhall Street. This new block is also expected to include cycle parking and a new green wall as part of the development.

The most notable proposal is the revamp of Liverpool Street Station. Despite being located within the City of London, the application was submitted to Hammersmith and Fulham Council. The plan entails partial demolition of the station’s concourse, train sheds, and entrances, with additional modifications to the existing bus station and a new cycle hub on the upper concourse.

Furthermore, a new building above Liverpool Street Station and 40 Liverpool Street is envisaged, rising to 108.6m in height, and set to house office spaces. The upper floors, from 17 to 20, are slated for a new hotel, with a bar and restaurant two floors below. An outdoor pool, leisure court, and cafe are planned for the 16th floor, alongside a publicly accessible roof garden.

These proposals are part of a more extensive £1.5 billion plan to refurbish Liverpool Street station, spearheaded by developers Sellar, MTA, and Network Rail. An additional £450m is allocated for infrastructure improvements to address the station’s chronic issues of accessibility, capacity, and overcrowding. This suite of projects underlines a significant step towards urban development and modernisation in West London.
