"The proposed redevelopment would affect the site's western collection of buildings, which the school has described as outdated, underused and unsafe. The new buildings would consist of four education blocks up to four storeys tall and six residential, up to eight storeys."
"Of the 307 homes planned, 90 were to be affordable, all of which would have been for social rent. The scheme received 60 representations in-favour during consultation and more filed since, with 34 against."
"Concerns raised included the height of some of the proposed blocks and impacts on daylight and sunlight in nearby homes. A petition was also submitted by the Wormholt Residents Association (WRA) which drew 718 signatures."
The proposal to redevelop Phoenix Academy in west London and construct 307 homes has been rejected by the Hammersmith and Fulham Council. Concerns were raised regarding the scale of the project and insufficient consultation with the local community. Future Academies aimed to upgrade the school with a new sports hall, library, and music studios, alongside residential units. The redevelopment would have included affordable housing, but objections focused on the height of buildings and potential impacts on nearby homes. The Chief Executive expressed disappointment and is considering options moving forward.
