SUMMARY 14 Wilton Crescent is a Grade II listed building within the Belgravia Conservation Area. It is in use as a single family dwelling house.

The proposals are considered acceptable in historic building, conservation, design and amenity terms and would accord with policies within the Unitary Development Plan (UDP) and Item No. 5 Westminster’s City Plan: Strategic Policies (November 2016). As such, it is recommended that conditional planning permission and listed building consent are granted. 3. LOCATION PLAN ..

ADJOINING OWNERS / OCCUPIERS No. consulted: 7 No. replies: 1 One letter of objection has been received from a neighbouring resident to the rear on the following grounds: Amenity • Overlooking/loss of privacy to residential windows to the rear in Kinnerton Street. • Landscaping to terrace will block light to property to the rear. • Lighting on terrace will be highly intrusive. PRESS ADVERTISEMENT / SITE NOTICE: Yes 6. BACKGROUND INFORMATION 6.1 The Application Site 14 Wilton Crescent is a Grade II listed building within the Belgravia Conservation Area. It comprises basement, ground and four upper floors and is in use a single family dwelling house. The property immediately to the rear in Kinnerton Street forms a separate single family dwelling house. 6.2 Recent Relevant History On 4 December 2012, planning permission and listed building consent were granted for the use of the building as a single family dwelling. Excavation at basement level to provide a swimming pool. Construction of an extension to rear of site at ground floor level, construction of a new closet wing extension to contain a passenger lift and rebuilding of the rear bay elevation. Installation of plant and air conditioning equipment in Item No. 5 front pavement vaults (including minor excavation) and to rear at first and third floor level. On 5 February 2015, planning permission and listed building consent were granted for excavation to create a basement extension with swimming pool under rear of property, erection of rear ground floor extension, construction of a new closet wing extension to contain a passenger lift and rebuilding of the rear bay elevation, installation of retractable glazed roof over courtyard, conversion of front vaults, and installation of mechanical plant within enclosures at rear lower ground and third floor levels; all in connection with the use of the building as a single family dwelling. These works are nearing completion. On 9 January 2019, planning permission and listed building consent were refused for the use of the first floor roof as a terrace and associated external works including the installation of a rear planted wall, external decorative fireplace and planters; all at first floor level, on the following grounds: • The proposed trellising, and the associated decorative elements, would harm the architectural and historic significance of this grade II listed building, and the setting of adjacent listed buildings; and • The trellising and planting would make the people living in nos. 13 Wilton Crescent and 26 Kinnerton Street feel too shut in. 7. THE PROPOSAL Planning permission and listed building consent are sought for the use of the rear first floor roof as a terrace and associated external works including the installation of trellising to the boundary walls with numbers 13 and 15 Wilton Crescent. The use of the first floor roof as a terrace was previously approved under permission dated 5 February 2015. This permission has been implemented and the works are nearing completion. This application seeks to extend the approved terrace rearward by approximately 1.9m. 8. DETAILED CONSIDERATIONS 8.1 Land Use The application raises no land use issues. 8.2 Townscape and Design The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF); policies S25 and S28 of Westminster's City Plan: Strategic Policies (2016); and policies DES 1, DES 5, DES 6, DES 9 and DES 10 of the Unitary Development Plan (2007) are the relevant design policies for this proposal. The emerging 'draft Belgravia Conservation Area Audit' and detailed advice within the SPG 'Repairs and Alterations to Listed Buildings' are also relevant. The proposals involve the installation of a trellis above the parapet wall along the south/west side of the terrace (boundary with No. 13 Wilton Crescent), 1.8 metres high in total from the finished floor level of the terrace, and a lower section of metal railings Item No. 5 approximately 1.15 metres from the finished floor level to the north/east side. The railings would be fixed into the coping stones to the parapet walls. Planters are proposed to the rear end of the terrace, and planter boxes to each side with a decorative chimneypiece against the inside of the parapet wall to the south/west side and new paving. A further trellis is also proposed along the boundary with No. 15 Wilton Crescent, 1.8m high to match the height of an existing trellis at No.15. The proposals are considered acceptable in design and heritage terms. Although the chimney piece is not a traditional feature atop a closet wing, as it will not be functional (is purely decorative) and would not project above the parapet wall/would be visible only in limited high level views from surrounding properties, it is considered acceptable in this instance. Details of the trellising have been submitted demonstrating that the design will allow visual permeability. The proposed works are not therefore considered to cause harm to the significance of this listed building or detract from the character and appearance of the Belgravia Conservation Area. 8.3 Residential Amenity Policy ENV 13 of the UDP and S29 of the City Plan aim to safeguard the amenity of residents from the effects of new development with particular regard to overlooking, sense of enclosure and loss of daylight and sunlight. One letter of objection has been received from a neighbouring resident to the rear in Kinnerton Street on amenity grounds (loss of light and privacy/overlooking). A terrace at rear first floor level was approved under the February 2015 permission. This was partially enclosed by a screen along the boundary with 13 Wilton Crescent and was set back from the rear edge of the roof by approximately 3.5m by a water storage tank and planters. Planning permission and listed building consent were recently refused (January 2019) for an extended terrace and trellising that would have been higher and more extensive than that previously approved (and currently proposed), on amenity grounds in terms of increased sense of enclosure to 13 Wilton Crescent and 26 Kinnerton Street. This application seeks to extend the approved terrace rearwards by approximately 1.9m. 26 Kinnerton Street lies immediately to the rear which contains living room windows at first floor and bedrooms windows at second floor level. No alterations are proposed to the rear parapet wall which stands at approximately 1.1m in height. Planters are proposed to set the usable area of terrace back from the rear wall by approximately 1.6m and the terrace will therefore be approximately 6m away from the rear windows in 26 Kinnerton Street. It is not therefore considered that the enlargement of the terrace will significantly increase overlooking or cause a loss of light to these residential windows. A condition is recommended to ensure that the planters are permanently retained in the position shown to protect the privacy of the residents within Kinnerton Street. A trellis is proposed along the boundary with 13 Wilton Crescent which taken together with the existing parapet wall will be 1.8m above finished floor level. 13 Wilton Crescent is divided into flats and contains windows in the rear and flank elevations which are in close proximity to the terrace. Whilst the proposed trellis will cause some enclosure to Item No. 5 these windows, it will assist in protecting the privacy of these residents from the terrace. It is not therefore considered that the trellis could reasonably be refused on amenity grounds.

    Your community news from Belgravia Bulletin VOTE WITH YOUR BUTT AT ECCLESTON YARDS GUMDROP BINS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED around Eccleston Yards to help tackle littering. The bins, which are mounted on walls near the smoking area and coffee recycling bins, are the first bins in the world not only made specifically for the disposal of chewing gum, but that are actually made from waste chewing gum too. The Gumdrops can’t be missed as they are bright pink and designed to look like strawberry bubble gum bubbles. Once a Gumdrop bin is full, the whole Gumdrop along with its contents of waste gum is recycled and processed to manufacture new Gumdrops – and the cycle starts again. With the Gumdrop firm’s help, recycled and processed chewing gum can become a vast number of things from wellington boots, to mobile phone covers, stationary, packaging and much more. The company has proved that the bins can reduce chewing gum litter by up to 46 per cent in the first 12 weeks of use. For those interested to know more about the scheme, visit gumdropltd.com IN OTHER WASTE DISPOSAL NEWS, the dedicated smoking area at Eccleston Yards is getting an upgrade to make it more friendly and engaging for smokers. Newly installed Ballot bins display a question with two possible answers. Smokers vote by putting their cigarette butt in the slots underneath their preferred answer, and the butts stacks up behind the clear glass front in two columns, showing which answer is more popular.

  • Grosvenor Walk in Belgravia
    DISCOVER A HISTORY WALKING IN BELGRAVIA A GUIDED WALK THROUGH THE HEART OF BELGRAVIA BELGRAVIA: A HISTORY The Grosvenor family has owned the 80 hectares (200 acres) of Belgravia since 1677, when Sir Thomas Grosvenor married Mary Davies, heiress to part of the Manor of Ebury. At that time, the southern part of the manor bounded by Chelsea, Hyde Park and Buckingham Palace, known as the Five Fields, was open land – a mix of swamp, pasture, orchards, a few scattered houses and much of it the haunt of highwaymen. HOUSING BOOM The end of the Napoleonic Wars brought a great housing boom to London. This, and the conversion of the nearby Buckingham House into a palace for George IV in 1826, was the catalyst for the development of the Five Fields as one of the most fashionable and desirable residential areas of central London. (The Grosvenors had already developed Mayfair a hundred years earlier). AN ELEGANT ESTATE Working to the vision of Robert, 1st Marquess of Westminster, Thomas Cundy (the Estate Surveyor) and Thomas Cubitt (master builder), oversaw the development of Belgravia into an elegant estate in the classic Regency style of squares, streets and crescents, aligned to overlook private gardens surrounded by unified palazzo façades. Some of the larger houses have now become the headquarters of commercial businesses, institutions and embassies, while the development of large modern offices has been encouraged on the perimeter of the Estate. However, the vast majority of Cubitt’s work still survives and almost the whole of Belgravia is included in a statutory Conservation Area.
