Filmer Road D28051x50 / 50mm / 09/03/23 / 15:45
Completed Development - Early Phases The top of Detailed Component Plot WB04 would appear to the right of centre in the view above the roofline of the foreground terraces, seen at a distance of approximately 1.5km. A very small part of Outline Plot WB06 would be visible to its left, screened by trees. This would be a relatively fleeting incidental impact on visual amenity resulting from the particular alignment of Filmer Road, with the Early Phases otherwise not widely visible in views from this part of Fulham, as demonstrated by the ZVI in Appendix G. The Detailed Component of the Early Phases is modelled in chalk render, which shows the scale form and articulation of the Detailed Component Plots, but not the proposed materials or the effects of distance on their visibility. Plot WB04 would be visibly distant, distinct and separate from the housing within the conservation area in the foreground. Its top would have a distinctive visually interesting form, with a series of shoulders stepping up symmetrically to a slender central ‘crown’. The reduction in massing would be reinforced by the change in materiality, from stone-like solid materials, to lighter, more transparent and reflective materials at the crown. The minor visibility of the Early Phases in the distant backdrop would have a Low magnitude of impact. The limited incidental visibility of the Early Phases would preserve the visual amenity of Filmer Road and the nature of the effect would therefore be Neutral. Magnitude of impact: Low Effect: Minor in scale, Neutral in nature (not significant).
