Welcome the Team WELCOME This consultation pack provides you with a chance to view the emerging proposals and give us your thoughts. Please do note the various contact details listed in the final section if you wish to speak to a member of the project team, organise a briefing or provide us with your thoughts on the proposals. This pack presents our aspirations to redevelop One Museum Street (also known as Selkirk House) - a now vacant site on Museum Street and High Holborn following the closure of the Travelodge in 2020 and its adjacent buildings on West Central Street. The proposals include new office space, active ground floor uses and homes.

  • St Giles: a Renewed London Quarter Emerges
    St Giles: A Renewed London Quarter Emerges § £2 billion regeneration § 60,000 sq ft of dining space § 58% Tech & Media occupation 08 September, London, United Kingdom - The redevelopment of the iconic London landmark, Centre Point, together with an influx of new retail brands, dining and leisure operators, plus the anticipated arrival of the Elizabeth line at Tottenham Court Road has triggered the rejuvenation of the area around the eastern end of Oxford Street and St Giles in the capital’s West End. The area is poised for great growth, driven by the imminent arrival (2018) of the Elizabeth line and the redevelopment of the station at Tottenham Court Road at the eastern end of Oxford Street, which will see more than 100m passengers pass through it each year – three times more than the current volume. This, together with an influx of new retail brands, dining and leisure operators, residential development and high profile tech and media businesses – the ever-growing interest in the area has been supported by more than £2 billion of regeneration. A comprehensive report launching today – A renewed London quarter emerges – has been produced by leading property consultants, Colliers International, in partnership with New West End Company, The Fitzrovia Partnership and Midtown Business Improvement Districts. It charts the intense activity in the St Giles area and its transformation since 2008 from what was previously a little known area of London, into an exciting hub of commercial and private investment developments, including unique dining destinations, to become a vibrant location that puts St Giles firmly on the map.

  • 5 Willoughby Street, London WC1A 1JD
    5 Willoughby Street, London WC1A 1JD 1 MUSEUM STREET, LONDON WC1A 1JR Proposal: Redevelopment of Selkirk House, 166 High Holborn and 1 Museum Street following the substantial demolition of the existing NCP car park and former Travelodge Hotel to provide a mixed-use scheme, providing office, residential, and town centre uses at ground floor level. Works of demolition, remodelling and extension to 10-12 Museum Street, 35-41 New Oxford Street, and 16A-18 West Central Street to provide further town centre ground floor uses and residential floorspace, including affordable housing provision. Provision of new public realm including a new pedestrian route through the site to link West Central Street with High Holborn. Relocation of cycle hire docking stations on High Holborn. Application for planning permission: 2021/2954/P 4 August 2021 Save Museum Street, which comprises the organisations listed below, objects to this application and a summary of our concerns follows. These are set out in the following sections: 1 Sustainability, environmental, climate emergency 2 Housing 3 Visual and heritage impact 4 Design quality 5 Community engagement 6 Sunlight and daylight 7 Open space and public realm 8 Basement impact 9 Transport, access and servicing 10 Construction management and noise 11 Hotel Use 12 Addendum: Policy non-compliance / information required The Save Museum Street Group is strongly of the opinion that the proposal is wrongly conceived and fundamentally flawed. It will be severely damaging visually and environmentally not only to its immediate surroundings of sensitive conservation areas but to the whole of London. The scheme as it stands is not susceptible to improvement to an acceptable level by the merely cosmetic measures of increasing the number of housing units, which are of poor quality, or reducing the height of the tower.

  • Oxford Street District Consultation 121218
    OXFORD STREET DISTRICT CONSULTATION FOR THE DRAFT PLACE STRATEGY AND DELIVERY PLAN 12 December 2018 The Bloomsbury Association wishes to make the following comments on proposals to improve the future of the Oxford Street District as described in the City of Westminster’s consultation documents. Most of these comments were made in person to members of the project team at various events during and prior to the consultation period, including Westminster’s presentation at New London Architecture on 12 December, which the Association attended. The Association’s area of interest is bounded by Tottenham Court Road to the west and New Oxford Street to the south. This is the edge of Bloomsbury at a point where it collides abruptly and noisily with the fringes of the West End. It partly falls within Oxford Street District and Character Area I, the eastern gateway to Oxford Street. The Association may also take an interest in proposals of wider impact such as this, located outside their area, and comments on proposals with a view to promoting high standards of planning, urban design and architecture and to securing the preservation and enhancement of the particular character of Bloomsbury. The West End Community Network, of which the Bloomsbury Association is a member, has submitted a separate response to the wider, strategic issues raised by the proposals for the District, which the Association endorses. Each member organisation is also providing their own feedback based on the impacts on their areas of interest and the public realm interventions that are proposed. These follow. 1 Generally 1.1 The Association supports good quality urban design that will enhance The West End’s streetscape.
