Power resilience
Kensington and Chelsea approved an emergency generator to ensure power resilience for hospital imaging equipment.
Kensington and Chelsea's Planning Applications Committee approved an emergency generator in September 2026 to provide backup power for critical medical imaging equipment, including MRI and CT scanners, at 180-186 Brompton Road. This decision addresses the need for a stable power supply for these vital hospital services, ensuring their continued operation during disruptions.
The committee's approval followed a previous deferral of the application, as further information was sought regarding the generator's siting, screening, and necessity. These initial concerns were addressed by the applicant before the final decision was made by the committee.
