Parking and Access

Our proposals feature a basement car park for residents, alongside bicycle storage, which will be located on the ground floor with a dedicated access.

Residents in the new homes will not be allowed to apply for a Council parking permit, this will be made clear to them when purchasing a property and will be secured through the planning process with RBKC.

No car parking will be available on Tite Street for residents of the development, but a drop-off / pick-up layby will be delivered as part of the proposals to service the new homes. The layby would also be used by residents with accessibility restrictions and emergency vehicles.

Servicing the National Army Museum

The National Army Museum has been working with our architects and transport consultants to ensure that changes to delivery and servicing can take place safely and with minimal impact to our neighbours.

• Future deliveries to the café, as well as those for exhibitions and events, will be delivered though the front door.
• Refuse collection will take place at the entrance to the new garden off the Royal Hospital Road.
• For the infrequent delivery of large exhibits (around every two years), these will be delivered to the entrance of the new garden and wheeled to the existing large double doors.
• Staff and volunteers at the Museum already travel to and from work using sustainable forms of transport (i.e. public transport and cycling) and this will continue to be promoted.

A detailed Transport Assessment will be submitted as part of the planning application, detailing access arrangements for the new residential building and the National Army Museum.

Proposed traffic management plan.

Construction

We recognise the importance of managing potential construction impacts and are keen to start discussions with neighbours at the earliest opportunity.

A draft Construction Management Plan will be submitted as part of the application and, should the plans be approved, this would be subject to further consultation before any works begin.

The inclusion of the National Army Museum car park in the proposals enables much of the demolition and construction activity to be enclosed in this area of the site, thereby reducing construction activity or traffic on Tite Street.

Support our proposals

Our plans aim to bring lasting benefits to the area, improving the setting of the Royal Hospital Conservation Area and replacing an existing building that no longer contributes positively to its surroundings.

We understand that some people may have questions or concerns and we welcome open discussion about the proposals. However, without redevelopment, the opportunity to extend the National Army Museum and create new public spaces would not be possible.
