NEW HOUSING
Warwick Road, Kensington
We have dealt with many major residential projects and in 2008 we secured permission for the development of this site in Kensington to provide a high density residential scheme of over 150 new units with Northacre Plc and BT. The permission was achieved at a local level within 3 months following the agreement of an indicative Masterplan for the wider area and included a 17 storey tower, three new residential buildings and a section of public park that will eventually form part of a larger park with the development of the surrounding sites.
NEW OFFICES
Grafton Street and Bruton Lane
We continue to be involved in projects for new commercial floorspace. At the beginning of the year, we achieved a planning permission for two new office buildings in Mayfair to provide high quality floorspace for O+H Properties. At the rear, the scheme was accompanied by new flats in an 11 storey building and significant public realm improvements and pedestrian links. The proposals were welcomed by the Council as an enhancement to the Conservation Area and for providing regeneration to a backwater in Mayfair.
CAFE CULTURE
Harrods
We successfully achieved planning permission and a highways licence for Harrods to create the largest pavement café (100 seats and 25 tables) ever permitted in the Royal Borough. The pavement café involved extending out the pavement by several metres on the corner of Hans Road and Basil Street. The café has become an important added attraction to shoppers at London’s premier store.
