Westminster planning application: 25/03223/FULL
While just outside the BRA area, on the opposite side of the road from the Whiteley’s development, this is a major proposal that will dramatically change the face of Queensway.
A previous owner obtained planning permission for demolition and redevelopment of the site. A new owner recently submitted a new proposal. This sits within the massing of the already consented development, but switches the emphasis from offices to housing. It also substantially increases the proportion of high quality, on-site, affordable housing. The ground floor will continue to be devoted to retail.
We feel the proposed building is too high, but there is already planning permission for a building of the same height and massing, so any objection on these grounds is very unlikely to succeed. We very much welcome the increased provision of high quality affordable housing on-site.
