Planning

Westminster City Council consults us on every planning application for the area, approximately 1,000 applications annually.  We encourage all developers to engage with us at the earliest opportunity before any pre-application meetings.  We ask that developers and owners give careful regard to the impact their proposal will have not only on the historical or architectural interest of the building, but also on the environment, streetscape and the amenity of neighbours. Generally, we do not object to proposals which have architectural merit, where materials and detailed design take into account and enrich original features and are in proportion to the existing building and streetscape.  See our planning guidelines.

If you disapprove of any development application, please read our guide to objecting effectively.  It is important that you make your views known directly to Westminster City Council, as it is them who determine all planning applications.


Conflict Statement

We are fortunate that Marylebone Association Planning Sub-Committee consist of eight local active professional Architects/Town planners.  However, from time to time conflicts of interests do arise.  Where this it the case the Association's comments feature a  "declaration of interest":  The Association would like it noted that a member of their planning panel has links with this application. This member has not been involved in making the submission.  Where an application is considered significant for Marylebone, the Association's response is agreed by the main committee.

    27 DORSET STREET 17/07121/FULL/PP-06445901  Conversion from two residential maisonettes to one single family dwelling and addition of closet wing and conservatory to rear facade including external and internal refurbishment and internal alterations, new sash windows to match existing and new 'Juliet balconies' to front first floor windows. (Linked to 17/09122/LBC) 

    Declaration of Interest - The Association would like it noted that a member of their planning panel has links with this application.

    This member has not been involved in making the submission below.
    Whilst the design of the canopy itself would be an improvement over the existing the extensive lighting would distract from views towards Marble Arch from Great Cumberland Place.
    Access steps have restricted headroom (which may not meet building regulations).
    Kitchen use will generate significant humidity which cannot be adequately ventilated.
    Floor of vault is being lowered by circa 700mm which will require underpinning to existing perimeter walls. Details required.           WH:  23 November 2017

    No Objection:   The proposed development aims to reinstate the listed building to its original use and layout and to provide a high quality family sized dwelling that will ensure the maintenance and future use of this historic building. It is therefore supported.

             JH:  13 November 2017


    14 SHERLOCK MEWS 17/09151/FULL/PP-0655532   Variation of Condition 1 of planning permission dated 23 June 2015 ( RN : 14/10743/FULL) for, 'Demolition of rear facade of Nos. 96-98 Baker Street and front and part rear facades of No. 14 Sherlock Mews, use of first to fourth floors of Nos. 96-98 Baker Street as eight residential flats (Class C3), amalgamation of flats at first and second floors of No. 14 Sherlock Mews into a maisonette (Class C3), erection of replacement shopfronts to Baker Street facade, erection of replacement rear facade to Nos. 96-98 Baker Street, erection of replacement front facade to No. 14 Sherlock Mews, alterations at roof level, and other associated external alterations'; NAMELY, to incorporate the retention of 5 no. windows and 1 no. door, the enlargement of an existing door and a new arrangement of the inner yard to allocate private amenity space and access to the 3-bedroom maisonette rendering it a double aspect unit. 

    Comment:  Although the retention of windows to the mews house and provision of external amenity space would improve daylighting and provide amenity space to the mews house the modest dimensions of the terrace and close proximity to flats 02 and 03 may result in a reduction of privacy and increased noise transfer between units. This would be clearer if the application included the 96-98 Baker Street flats in the drawings.           JH:  13 November 2017


    CUMBERLAND HOTEL  GREAT CUMBERLAND PLACE  17/09103/FULL/PP-06334881   External alterations including replacement of a canopy at the Great Cumberland Place entrance, the reinstatement of windows and insertion of windows along Great Cumberland Place facade, replacement of entrance at Bryanston Street and Great Cumberland Place, replacement of canopy at Bryanston Street and enclosure of existing entrance lobby area at Great Cumberland Place through the relocation of doors along the building line.

NAMELY, to enable amendments to the approved drawings to allow for external alterations including alterations to existing pipework and ventilation grilles, replacement front windows at first floor level, installation of three additional air condenser units and six mechanical extract outlets at roof level, replacement of and alterations to rooflights and replacement of existing rear first floor window with openable french doors to first floor terrace (Linked to 17/09261/LBC) (AMENDED DESCRIPTION)

    3 MANDEVILLE PLACE 19/000978/FULL/PP-07570962 External alterations comprising replacement of the front door and basement lightwell entrance door, replacement of windows to the front and rear facades, installation of roof lights and new automatic opening vent within the upper mansard and replacement of rooflights at basement and ground floor level

    No Objection : TB: 5 March 2019

    18 WIGMORE STREET 19/01390/FULL/PP-07546707 Erection of an extension at the rear of the property at first to fourth floor levels to provide additional residential floorspace for the existing flats, including the infilling of an internal lightwell adjacent to 16 Wigmore Street and the installation of a new lift. Alterations at basement and ground floor level including the infilling of a rear lightwell at basement level to create additional office (Class B1) floorspace and installation of plant at rear ground floor level. (AMENDED DESCRIPTION OF DEVELOPMENT)

    Comment: The proposal involves an extension/ projection of the entire rear elevation by 2.5m to 3m in parts over four storeys. The new rear façade is a bland and pastiche facsimile of the existing. The CGI provided is not representative, not least because it shows false windows as if they had a room behind them. DM: 15 March 2019

    BASEMENT AND GROUND FLOOR 90 YORK STREET 18/10655/FULL/PP-07390427 Use of part of the basement floor medical treatments (Class D1)

    No Objection: DM: 15 March 2019

    50 WEYMOUTH STREET 19/01218/FULL/PP-07570620 Erection of a new mansard roof extension at rear second floor level to the Beaumont Mews elevation to create a self contained flat. (part of a land use swap with Blocks A-C Ossington Buildings and Ground floor of Moxon House and Osbourne House, Moxon Street).

    Comment: It is difficult to comment on this application due to the lack of and poor quality of information. No Design & Access Statement is provided (despite reference to one in the planning statement). The CGI’s are not in fact CGI’s but poor, low-resolution screenshots that add little to the application. Use of the roof in this location to create an additional residential unit is, in principle, a good idea. We would, however, expect to see a higher level of thought , design and communication of the key issues – all items lacking in this application. DM: 15 March 2019

    I CHILTERN STREET 19/00948/FULL/PP-07529786 Erection of a glazed canopy (cloister) in the front courtyard. (Linked to 19/00949/LBC)

    No Objection: DM: 15 March 2019

    MARBLE ARCH APARTMENTS 11 HARROWBY STREET 19/00261/FULL/PP-07533284 Erection of a single storey roof extension to provide eight additional residential units (Class C3) (2 x 1-bed, 3 x 2-bed and 3 x 3-bed units). Relocation of existing water cylinders to new roof level. 

    Objection: We object on the following grounds:

    1. Impact on adjoining properties:  the information supplied in the application is insufficient to adequately assess the full impact of the proposals on the neighbouring properties.  Plans and sections showing the relationship of the proposals to existing neighbouring properties should be included.  

    2. Daylight/Sunlight:  the additional height and bulk and the impact that this would have on the daylight and sunlight for nearby properties.  A daylight and sunlight analysis should be submitted as part of the application to show the impact the proposals would have on nearby properties. It is mentioned in the attachments summary, but is not evident in the documents on idox.

    3. Parking: We request that, if consented, restriction is imposed in perpetuity that no additional parking permits are allowed for these proposed dwellings, as indicated in the transport statement, as this is very well served by public transport and there is considerable residential parking stress in the local area.

    4.Sustainability: The sustainability report claims that 1KWP of renewables are incorporated into the design, yet no PVs are shown on the roof plan or sections.

    5. Construction Logistics: Given the significant impact that the development would have upon the existing residents, a Construction Management Plan should be included with the application.

    6. Community Consultation: The applicant has not engaged proactively with the local amenity society or the local residents, who have deeply held concerns about the proposals.  We request that any subsequent revisions to the proposals are presented to the local community at a suitable public consultation event, to which all objectors and the Marylebone Association are invited.

    7. Because of its height, bulk, and detailed design, the mansard roof extension would harm the appearance of this building and fail to maintain or improve the character and appearance of the area. This would not meet DES6.

    We ask that WCC requires the applicant to address these concerns before the application is determined. LT: 21 March 2019

    Comment:   The Association notes the absence of a Daylight & Sunlight report in support of this application. In extending the building, both vertically with an additional storey and laterally, extending the second floor, the applicant should demonstrate that neighbouring amenity, with regards to daylight and sunlight provision, is unaffected (or within BRE recommended guidelines).                 DM:  24 October 2017


    12 MARYLEBONE MEWS   17/08882/FULL/PP- 06438364  Installation of a entrance door and replace the existing garage door with a window. Use of rear flat roof as second floor as a terrace.


    Objection:  The proposed roof terrace will impact adversely on neighbouring amenity, directly overlooking rear gardens and residential properties to Wimpole Street.


    STONE HOUSE, 9 WEYMOUTH STREET, 11 WEYMOUTH STREET & 60A PORTLAND PLACE 17/05227/FULL/PP-06106553  

    Erection of a new single storey roof extension to create four residential units (Class C3) and associated plant. Creation of three new terraces at new fifth floor level. (Site includes 9-11A Weymouth Street and 60A Portland Place) (Part of a land use swap with 142-146 Harley Street).


    Objection:  

    The Marylebone Association notes the changes which have been made to the proposals and we can see that attempts have been made to improve the appearance of the proposed extension.  However, in our view, the revisions have not overcome the fundamental principal of our original objection and as a result we still have objections to the application.  in particular:

    ·       The additional roof storey is inappropriate in the context of the existing building and its neighbours. The original design of the street sought to have a variation in terms of the roofscape, which would be lost in these proposals.  It will appear bulky and monotonous in all the views where it will be seen, i.e. from all of the surrounding buildings. In addition to these numerous high-level views, there are also street-level views from both sides of Hallam Street and the junction of Weymouth Street and Great Portland Street, and in these views the roof will be appear bulky and overbearing.

    ·       The changes to the rear have sought to overcome the problems of having a sheet extension, but has resulted in a roof form which would appear alien and unsatisfactory.

    ·       The building is already amongst the taller and more imposing buildings in the area, and the additional height and bulk will make the building appear too tall for its context and somewhat overbearing. In bringing the same design of roof across all of the Weymouth Street properties, there is an attempt at homogenising this group of buildings which is to their detriment. This approach is fundamentally harmful to the character of the conservation area.

     

    In our view the revised proposal would have a harmful impact on the conservation area and we can see no public benefit which would make this harm necessary. The proposals are contrary to the NPPF (paragraph 134) and to DES6 and DES9 of the Council’s own policies.

    Comments: 

    -    Westminster SPD on basement design indicates that the addition of railings must not harm the appearance of the building.

    -    A large area of what appears to be historic wall is to be removed within the proposals however the heritage statement does not detail why this is necessary.

    Variation of Condition 5 of planning permission dated 6 November 2015 (RN: 15/08252) which in itself varied Condition 5 of planning permission dated 21 November 2013 (RN: 13/09716) namely, to permit the use of the public highway for the placing of tables and chairs for a continued period until 31 October 2017; NAMELY to allow further temporary permission for the placing of tables and chairs on the public highway. 


    Objection: This 'temporary' permission has persisted for 4 years through the recurring variation of this planning condition. The permission should now be on a permanent basis or not consented at all.                          WH: 24 September 2017

    Erection of a conservatory at rear first floor level, associated internal and external alterations. (Linked to 17/08372/LBC) 


    Comment: The only issue we see to highlight here is the relationship between the new layout and the chimney breasts on second and third floors.

    In both cases, although not ideal, we think that an appropriate balance has been struck between the needs of any modern home, the practical requirements of drainage, and the integrity of the heritage in this house.

    Regarding the second floor in particular we would suggest that detailed drawings are required as a condition to show that the bathroom partitioning has a minimal effect on the adjacent fabric.

    No Objection: DM: 10 August 2017

    NORTH WEST HOUSE 119-127 MARYLEBONE ROAD

    17/05218/FULL/PP-06043175 Demolition of the existing building and erection of a replacement building comprising basement, lower ground, ground, plus nine storeys for use as offices (Class B1) at lower ground, part ground and first to ninth floors and ancillary flexible Class A1/A2/B1 use at part ground floor; associated plant at basement levels and roof level; associated hard and soft landscaping.

    Objection: The Marylebone Association Objects to the proposal on a number of grounds:

    1. Height, Scale and Mass: The building is considered too high and out of scale with its immediate and wider context. The additional height proposed would have a significant detrimental impact both on neighbouring properties in Knox Street and Upper Montagu Street and on the wider Portman Estate Conservation Area. The proposals should be revised to significantly reduce the height of the scheme.

    2. Design Quality: The proposals are considered inadequate in terms of design quality and would harm the Portman Estate Conservation Area and the setting of local listed buildings. The existing building has many qualities and features, as highlighted in the Twentieth Century Society's objection, and in our view the quality of the current proposal does not justify its demolition. The Marylebone Association welcomes exemplary contemporary architecture and the proposals fall far short of this standard, both in the quality of the elevations and the level of detail and information provided. The architectural expression is without sufficient distinction and is not deemed to complement the local character of the area.

    3. Impact on adjoining properties on Knox Street and Upper Montagu street. The overbearing nature of the proposed scheme would have a significant detrimental impact on neighbouring properties to the South and would harm the outlook and significantly increase the sense of enclosure from these properties. This is a direct result of the scale and bulk of the proposals. There would also be a harmful increase in overlooking from the rear of the proposal over the residential properties to the South.

    4. Proposed entrances:
    The building fronts the Marylebone Road and the existing building main entrances are from Marylebone Road. The Association is concerned that the proposed entrances onto Upper Montagu Street and Knox Street will have a significant increase in foot traffic and a detrimental impact on the quiet enjoyment of nearby residential properties.

    5. Ground floor uses: There is concern over the proposed ground floor uses impact onto the quiet enjoyment of residential properties on Upper Montagu and Knox street.

    6. There is significant local concern over the impact of servicing and the controls to avoid detrimental impact on neighbouring properties and traffic, especially on Knox Street.

    7. There is significant local concern over the impact of construction on local traffic and the quiet enjoyment of neighbouring properties in the redevelopment. We request that the Association is consulted in the event of a consent in the development of the CMP prior to the discharging of any associated condition.

    8. In summary we have sufficient concerns with the proposed application that we believe it should be refused. We would welcome a dialogue with the applicants in the development of any revised proposals. LT: 11 August 2017

    25-26 ENFORD STREET

    17/05941/FULL/PP-06202356 Erection of extension at rear first floor level, alterations to front and rear facades of building and alteration to rear roof form to create sheer rear elevation, use of extended and altered building as 3 x flats (Class C3) and installation of mansard-style screen measuring 1.7m to rear elevation and installation of balustrade to front elevation in order to facilitate use of flat roof at fourth floor level and terrace
    Objection: The faux mansard performing as screen to the roof terrace results in an increase in perceived building height that is not in keeping with the neighbouring roof lines at the rear of the property. A simple acoustic screen and railing set back 1.5 metres from the rear parapet would safeguard neighbouring amenity and address issues of visual bulk. DM: 14 August 2017

    Flat 14 HERON PLACE 3 GEORGE STREET 

    17/06076/FULL/PP-06217200 Installation of double glazed, bi-folding doors and air conditioning unit at sixth floor level.
    Objection: The Marylebone Association does not support comfort cooling to residential properties. The proposed AC unit is not integrated within a holistic architectural proposal and no design/materials are described for the required acoustic box.
    Further, the proposed bi-folding doors are out of context within the larger elevation of the building and would harm the overall composition. DM: 22 August 2017

This objection would be rescinded, should the applicant revise the layout to show a 1 bed flat. DM: 22 August 2017

    16/11376/FULL/PP-05600748 Demolition of the existing buildings at 19-35 Baker Street, 88-110 George Street, 69-71 Blandford Street and redevelopment to create a mixed use scheme providing offices (Class B1), retail (Class A1 and flexible Class A1/A3 units) and up to 51 residential units (Class C3) within a new ground plus nine storey building (and an enclosed plant area) on Baker Street; a new stepped ground plus four to ground plus six storey building on George Street; refurbishment, extension and the change of use of the first floor from office to residential at 30 Gloucester Place; creation of a single storey basement level linking the Baker Street and George Street buildings to provide car and cycle parking, refuse and servicing; creation of a new central, publically accessible courtyard; removal of 5 trees and replacement trees across the site, a new publically accessible route at ground level connecting Baker Street and Gloucester Place; associated plant, landscaping, replacement pavements in part and other associated works. (Linked application 16/11377/LBC) (Revised scheme i. Stepping back at level 8 and above to Baker Street building. ii. Details of buidling line of Baker Street building. iii. Details of servicing arrangements. iv. Details of distribution of Class A1 and A3 uses within the scheme)

    Comment: Should the local authority be mindful to grant approval for the proposed development, The Association maintains that the potential impact of the scheme on neighbours amenity must be addressed, both during the construction phase and later, in occupation;
    During construction; In order to mitigate, in so far as reasonably practicable, the adverse affects of construction on neighbouring properties, The Association recommends the provision of robust Construction Management and Site Waste Management Plans.
    During occupation; The Association recommends the provision, by the applicant, of a detailed Operational Management Plan, setting out mix of retail uses, hours of operation etc.

    With regards to the retail tenants, The Association welcomes the applicant’s stated aim of curating a distinctive tenant roster beyond the usual suspects. In this respect we would seek a commitment and guarantees as to the proposed number/ ratio of independent operators.

    Whilst we acknowledge that efforts have been made to reduce the height, it is felt that Building C’s height and massing is still bordering on oversized both in terms of height and depth.

    Finally, we note the provision of less than 20% affordable housing (none of which is Social Rented or Affordable Rented) against Westminster’s requirement of 30%. DM: 31 August 2017

    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.

    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.

    Comment: The wording of the application states that this is a retroactive application, however the existing front elevation and garage doors in photographs and street view do not resemble the proposed doors and elevation.

    Further, whilst the DAS makes reference to local venacular informing the proposed garage doors it should be noted that the majority of garage doors on this mews are painted black not white. DM: 13 March 2017

    19-35 BAKER STREET

    16/11376/FULL/PP-05600748 Demolition of the existing buildings at 19-35 Baker Street, 88-110 George Street, 69-71 Blandford Street and redevelopment to create a mixed use scheme providing offices (Class B1), retail (Class A1 and flexible Class A1/A3 units) and up to 51 residential units (Class C3) within a new ground plus nine storey building (and an enclosed plant area) on Baker Street; a new stepped ground plus four to ground plus six storey building on George Street; refurbishment, extension and the change of use of the first floor from office to residential at 30 Gloucester Place; creation of a single storey basement level linking the Baker Street and George Street buildings to provide car and cycle parking, refuse and servicing; creation of a new central, publically accessible courtyard; removal of 5 trees and replacement trees across the site, a new publically accessible route at ground level connecting Baker Street and Gloucester Place; associated plant, landscaping, replacement pavements in part and other associated works. (Linked application 16/11377/LBC)

    No Objection: The Association welcomes the creation of new public space (albeit under private ownership) in the form of a new internal square and pedestrian street creating new links. However, whilst the entrance into the heart of the development from Baker St is announced with large canopies over 3 open façade bays, there is some concern that the route through, with glazed automatic sliding doors and flanked by office receptions on either side, may not always appear open and inviting to all. In this respect, we would welcome some more detail with regards to the proposed automatic door to Building C from Baker St.

    Should the local authority be mindful to grant approval for the proposed development, The Association maintains that the potential impact of the scheme on neighbours amenity must be addressed, both during the construction phase and later, in occupation;

    •During construction; In order to mitigate, in so far as reasonably practicable, the adverse affects of construction on neighbouring properties, The Association recommends the provision of robust Construction Management and Site Waste Management Plans.

    •During occupation; The Association recommends the provision, by the applicant, of a detailed Operational Management Plan, setting out mix of retail uses, hours of operation etc.


    With regards to the retail tenants, The Association welcomes the applicant’s stated aim of curating a distinctive tenant roster beyond the usual suspects. In this respect we would seek a commitment and guarantees as to the proposed number/ ratio of independent operators.

    With regards to the scheme’s massing, it is felt that Building C is bordering on oversized, both in terms of height and depth. Further, we note that in setting out the new building lines for building C, the applicant has gained up to 1.1m, in some areas, beyond the adopted highway boundary and existing buildings facades. This seems excessive, particularly in light of the applicant’s inability to provide sufficient short term safe cycle parking on site with a shortfall of 66 spaces (only 32 spaces provided due to insufficient space). Perhaps with wider pavements (as existing) and a slightly reduced building depth, the scheme could be made compliant with London Plan guidelines regarding short stay cycle provision.

    Finally, we note the provision of less than 20% affordable housing (none of which is Social Rented or Affordable Rented) against Westminster’s requirement of 30%.

    No Objection: Whilst the Association appreciates that the proposal to upgrade plant is linked to medical use, due to the close proximity to residential accommodation we would urge the planning officer to seek assurances from the applicant that the noise assessment has been carried out according to best practice.
