RBKC Planning Bulletin, 4th December 2015

Unheeded warnings lead to fine for basement contractor

A contractor that continued working on a basement development after a Temporary Stop Notice was issued by the RBKC was fined £2,000 and ordered to pay the Council's costs of £2,180 after pleading guilty at Hammersmith Magistrates' Court (Tuesday 24 November 2015).

The court heard that the Council issued the Temporary Stop Notice to London Projects Ltd (LPL) after the company failed to adhere to a Construction Traffic Management Plan (CTMP) that was agreed when planning permission was granted for a basement extension at 62 Bedford Gardens, W8.

The CTMP is designed to prevent construction traffic having an unreasonable impact on local residents.

While the RBKC's action in this matter did not relate to the area of the HPRA, it is helpful and encouraging to know that the RBKC is taking the policing of its conditions and approvals seriously. Infringements should therefore always be reported so that the RBKC is made aware of them.
