Why White City needs a specialist

White City is regenerated quarter, post-war estates. The streetscape is dominated by post-war estates, new-build, which means design decisions — roofscape, rear glazing, side returns, mansards — must respect the period rhythm of the row. Hammersmith and Fulham planning (Hammersmith & Fulham Council) decides applications here. Article 4 removes PD for HMO conversions; restrictions on ground-floor shop-to-residential in certain streets.
