emergency generator for vital medical imaging equipment
Kensington and Chelsea has approved an emergency generator for vital hospital imaging equipment, ensuring backup power for critical services.
The Kensington and Chelsea Planning Applications Committee approved planning permission for an emergency generator to provide backup power for vital medical imaging equipment at a London hospital in September 2026. The generator, intended for MRI and CT scanners, will be installed at 180-186 Brompton Road, London, SW3 1HQ, following an earlier deferral to gather more information.
The committee had previously deferred its decision to seek further information regarding the generator's siting, screening, and necessity before granting approval. No further council discussions or decisions are currently scheduled regarding the emergency generator project.
