Shoreditch based practice, LOM architecture and design has secured planning consent for the reimagining of Hampton Waterworks. The conservation project involves the transformation of a long-derelict, Grade II listed Victorian industrial site in Richmond upon Thames, into a vibrant new mixed-use community. Built in the 1850s as monumental pumping houses for London’s water supply, the site has stood empty for years, deteriorating and at risk of permanent loss. The consent marks the culmination of seven years of design development,
consultation and negotiation to overcome the complex challenges of restoring and adapting historic infrastructure for contemporary use. LOM’s approved proposals carefully balance heritage sensitivity with viability, ensuring the site’s renewal against significant constraints. The adaptive reuse scheme will deliver 36 high-quality new homes, ranging from one to four- bedroom units, alongside 306m2 of flexible workspace, breathing new life into the Waterworks as a place to live and work. The proposals retain and restore the Waterworks’ imposing Victorian fabric while
introducing carefully considered extensions and structural interventions to retain the historic fabric and ensure long-term feasibility. Contemporary glazed rooftop additions and rear extension sit modestly alongside the historic structures, designed to complement their scale and character. Interiors will expose and celebrate original industrial features, from wrought iron trusses and gantry cranes to ceramic tiling, creating distinctive spaces rich in heritage.
Response to National Planning Policy Framework from Fields in Trust
“We recognise the urgent need to build more homes and welcome the ambition to create well-connected communities. But good development cannot just be measured by the number of homes built or their proximity to transport. People also need access to high-quality green space. “As development accelerates, green space must be treated as essential infrastructure and planned in from the outset. The Fields in Trust Standards provide a tested and trusted national benchmark to ensure new communities have the right quantity, quality and accessibility of open space, outdoor sport and play space. “We welcome the Government’s recognition of the Fields in Trust Standards in the new National Planning Policy Framework, but we want it to go further by embedding them in national and local planning policy, alongside long-term legal protection for these spaces.
“Building the homes the country needs and creating healthy, thriving communities should go hand in hand. We stand ready to work with Government, local authorities and developers to make sure that happens.”
