The Planning Applications Committee meeting scheduled for Tuesday, 2 December 2025, was set to consider a range of planning applications across the borough. The agenda included discussions on proposed developments at several residential and commercial properties, with a focus on their impact on conservation areas, listed buildings, and the living conditions of neighbouring residents.

77 Golborne Road, W10 5NP

The committee was scheduled to consider maintenance works to the building fabric at 77 Golborne Road, including the replacement of single-glazed timber sash windows with double-glazed units and the replacement of ironmongery. The proposal also included the replacement of roof tiles and rainwater goods. The report indicated that the design, size, and scale of the proposed works would have an acceptable impact on neighbouring properties and would preserve the character and appearance of the building and the wider streetscape. No objections were received from interested parties. The report recommended granting planning permission, subject to conditions.

Olaf Court, 50A Kensington Church Street, W8 4DG

A retrospective application for the installation of air conditioning equipment and roof-mounted ventilation cowls at Olaf Court was scheduled for discussion. The proposal involved the installation of one condenser unit to Flat 10, the relocation of approved condensers to Flats 14 and 15, and the installation of four rear roof-mounted ventilation cowls. The report noted that while there would be some impact on the living conditions of nearby residents, it was not considered to be to a degree that would justify refusing planning permission. Nineteen objections were received from interested parties, primarily concerning noise and vibration. The report recommended granting planning permission, subject to conditions aimed at mitigating noise and vibration.

1, 2, and 6 Ossington Close, W2 4LU

The committee was due to consider a proposal for the demolition of the existing building at 1, 2, and 6 Ossington Close and its replacement with three new residential dwellings. The new development was planned to include a basement level for additional living space and improvements to the passageway with upgraded bin and bicycle storage. The report highlighted that the close proximity of the proposed development could lead to an increased perception of overlooking to properties on Ossington Street, resulting in some harm to the living conditions of near neighbours. However, it was noted that the proposed replacement building was consistent with the prevailing scale of the existing structure and responded positively to the mews typology, preserving the character and appearance of the Pembridge Conservation Area. The report recommended granting planning permission, subject to conditions, and noted that the proposal would be in accordance with the Council's basement policy and would have an acceptable impact on drainage and highways.

41 Clarendon Road, W11 4JB

The committee was scheduled to review an application for the installation of two single-fan compact condenser units within acoustic enclosures on the flat roof above the first floor at 41 Clarendon Road. The units were proposed to be set back from the parapet walls. The report indicated that, subject to recommended conditions, the proposals would preserve the character and appearance of the building, terrace group, and the wider Ladbroke Conservation Area, and would ensure good living conditions for neighbouring occupiers. Three objections were received, primarily concerning the aesthetic impact and noise from the units. The report recommended granting planning permission, subject to conditions related to noise and vibration mitigation.

The Chapel, 459A Fulham Road, SW10 9UZ

A retrospective application for the erection of a pergola, decking, and planting at The Chapel, 459A Fulham Road, was on the agenda. The proposal was for a demountable, freestanding pergola with a modern, lightweight appearance, sitting on timber decking. The report stated that the pergola, decking, and planting, due to their siting and design, would have a minimal impact on the setting and significance of the Grade II listed building and would preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area. Three objections were received, concerning the impact on a mature London Plane tree, the character and appearance of the listed building and conservation area, and potential impacts of an outdoor entertainment area. The report recommended granting planning permission, subject to conditions including the provision of compensatory soft landscaping.

40-41 Hans Place, SW1X 0JZ

The committee was to consider a Section 73 application to vary conditions of a previously granted planning permission (PP/24/06652) for the partial demolition and redevelopment of 40-41 Hans Place to create seven residential units. The current application sought material amendments to internal layouts, rear windows, and conditions related to air quality and construction traffic management. Amendments to the Section 106 legal agreement were also proposed, including a reduction in the affordable housing contribution. The report noted that the extant permission carried significant weight and that the proposed amendments were considered appropriate. While acknowledging the dilution of public benefits due to the reduced affordable housing contribution, the report concluded that the overall public benefits would still outweigh the impact on neighbouring properties. The report recommended delegating authority to the Director of Planning and Place to grant planning permission upon satisfactory completion of a legal undertaking or agreement.

Chelsea Sports Centre, Chelsea Manor Street, SW3 5EE

Listed building consent was sought for works at Chelsea Sports Centre, a Grade II* listed building. The proposals included the replacement of the main swimming pool lining, shallowing and reducing the depths of the main swimming pool to create a larger area for swimming lessons, and updating plant equipment in the pool plant room. The report stated that the works would preserve the special architectural and historic interest and heritage significance of the building. It highlighted that the shallowing of the pool could be reversed if necessary in the future and that the re-tiling would improve hygiene. The works were also expected to have wider public benefits by enabling more residents to benefit from swimming lessons, saving energy, and increasing revenue generation. No objections were received from interested parties. The report recommended granting listed building consent, subject to conditions.

38-40 Burnaby Street, SW10 0PL

A retrospective application for the replacement of windows with timber double-glazed units, the repositioning of rear windows, and the removal of a door and window at 38-40 Burnaby Street was scheduled for discussion. The report indicated that the works, having already been carried out, would preserve the character and appearance of the property and the Lots Village Conservation Area, while maintaining existing living conditions. Nine objections were received, raising concerns about lack of consultation, overlooking, impact on character and appearance, noise and light pollution, and discrepancies in documentation. The report recommended granting planning permission, subject to conditions ensuring the windows matched existing materials and were in white-painted timber.

33 Clabon Mews, SW1X 0EQ

The committee was set to consider a planning application for internal refurbishment and structural works at 33 Clabon Mews, including exterior renovations to render, doors, and windows, and the infill of a balcony on the first-floor rear. The proposal also included alterations to the rear elevation, second-floor windows, and the installation of new windows on the Milner Street elevation. The report concluded that the proposed development, due to its scale, design, details, and materials, would preserve the character, appearance, and significance of the Hans Town Conservation Area and ensure good living conditions for surrounding neighbours. Seventeen objections were received, primarily concerning the proposed terrace (which was subsequently omitted from the plans) and its potential impact on overlooking and noise transmission. The report recommended granting planning permission, subject to conditions.
