No Objection: The Marylebone Association does not have an objection in principle to the proposed works or use but would like to emphasise that with the increased number of children the need is for the Travel Plan to be exemplary and to be followed diligently and reviewed regularly, to avoid impacting on other local residents. We strongly support the use of electric vehicles (coaches) for the collection and transportation of children. LT: 30 June 2017
1 CHILTERN STREET 17/04535/FULL/PP-06095999 Erection of an external entrance canopy. Objection: 1. Impact of activity on local community: The canopy externalises and brings onto the street activities associated with the hotel that cause disturbance to the local community and could and should be more sensitively dealt with within the courtyard, which would have less of an impact on the neighbouring community. If the canopy is essential to the operations, in addition to the recently consented gate house, if it were within the courtyard it would have a lesser impact.
2. Design Impact on listed building While the design is simple and discrete, it does obscure the view of the rear building from the public realm. LT: 30 June 2017
