  • Mayor's Report August 2019
    34th Mayor’s Report to the Assembly Mayor’s Question Time – 12th September 2019 This is my Thirty-Fourth Mayor’s Report to the Assembly, fulfilling my duty under Section 45 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999. It covers the period from 5th July – 29th August 2019. Executive Summary Cycleway 4 construction to start ahead of schedule On 27 August, I announced that the next section of Cycleway 4 will start ahead of schedule. Once complete, Cycleway 4 will add 10km of segregated cycle route to London’s network – enabling thousands more people to enjoy the benefits of this major new route between Tower Bridge and Greenwich sooner. New pedestrian crossings are set to make the area much easier for people walking to get around. Notting Hill Carnival On Sunday 25 August, I spent the afternoon enjoying the music, magnificent parade costumes and sunshine at Notting Hill Carnival. Currently in its 53rd year, it is a celebration of Caribbean culture, that attracted an estimated 1 million people across the weekend. The event would not have been the success it was without the hard work of Notting Hill Carnival Ltd, the public and the voluntary agencies involved, and I thank them for their dedication. New figures show year of stability for London’s pubs On 24 August, new City Hall research shows the number of pubs in London remained stable between 2017 and 2018 after falling by more than a quarter since 2001 London pubs have been a key part of our capital’s heritage for generations, helping to unite Londoners and acting as a vital hub in the community.

    Lyings in state Standard Note: SN/PC/1735 Last updated: 12 April 2002 Author: Chris Pond Parliament and Constitution Centre On Friday 5 April 2002, the coffin of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother was carried in a ceremonial procession to Westminster Hall, where it lay in state from the Friday afternoon until 6 a.m. on Tuesday 9 April.

Authors are available to discuss the contents of these papers with Members and their staff but cannot advise others. A. History of lying in state The concept of lying in state has been known from antiquity. In England in historical times, dead bodies of people of all classes “lay” – that is, were prepared and dressed (or “laid out”) and, placed in the open coffin, would lie in a downstairs room of the family house for two or three days whilst the burial was arranged.1 Friends and relations of the deceased could then visit to pay their respects.

    WESTBROOK PARTNERS Dear Residents, Neighbours and Friends, 15 March 2018 Dolphin Square: The Next 100 Years Frequently Asked Questions and Our Responses As you may be aware, we have submitted a Planning Application to Westminster City Council setting out how we plan to invest in Dolphin Square to rejuvenate it and to secure its future for The Next 100 Years. This application followed a series of meetings with residents, neighbours and other local stakeholders about our Proposals, together with two public exhibitions, in a process which started back in April 2017. Many of you attended our meetings and exhibitions and we are grateful to everyone who has taken part in our consultation, provided feedback and kept in touch. We very much appreciate the contributions to date which will help to shape the future of Dolphin Square. We want to get in touch again to make sure that the residents and neighbours of Dolphin Square are clear about our Proposals and to reaffi rm our reassurances to you. We would like to reiterate that all tenants will have the opportunity to remain as residents of Dolphin Square during construction and after completion of the works, if they wish to, but it is likely that they will need to move fl ats for a period of time during the works (see page 8 for further details). If we are successful with our Planning Application, then we do not expect to start moving residents before 2020. Our current view is that the works will take approximately 5 years to complete. Once we have an approval from the Council, which we expect in the third quarter of this year, we will be able to develop detailed construction management and sequencing plans and talk to you about how the project will affect you individually.

  • 20 Ossington Street, London, W2 4LY PDF 908
    Item No. 8 CITY OF WESTMINSTER PLANNING Date Classification APPLICATIONS SUB For General Release COMMITTEE 3 April 2018 Report of Ward(s) involved Director of Planning Lancaster Gate Subject of Report 20 Ossington Street, London, W2 4LY Proposal Lowering floor of front lightwell, relocation of front door from side to centre of front facade and replacement of existing doorway with window. Erection of sloping roof extension to rear at first floor level. Agent Ariel Greis On behalf of Mr & Mrs Morris Registered Number 17/10761/FULL Date amended/ completed 5 December 2017 Date Application 5 December 2017 Received Historic Building Grade Unlisted Conservation Area Bayswater 1. RECOMMENDATION Grant conditional permission. 2. SUMMARY The application site is a three-storey terrace dwellinghouse. Planning permission is sought for an increase in depth of the front lightwell, the relocation of the front door from the side to the centre of the front facade and the installation of new sloping roof to the existing rear extension. An objection has been received from a neighbour concerning the potential impact of the rear sloping roof extension on the residential amenity as result of a loss of daylight/sunlight and an increase in noise pollution. The key issue in the consideration of this application is the impact of the rear sloping roof extension on the amenity of the occupiers of 33 Palace Court. The proposal is considered to accord with City Council’s adopted policies in the City Plan (November 2016) and the Unitary Development Plan (UDP) (January 2007) in land use, design, and amenity terms. The application is therefore recommended for approval, subject to the conditions set out in the draft decision letter appended to this report.

  • The Kensington District
    The Kensington District By G. E. Mitton The Kensington District When people speak of Kensington they generally mean a very small area lying north and south of the High Street; to this some might add South Kensington, the district bordering on the Cromwell and Brompton Roads, and possibly a few would remember to mention West Kensington as a far- away place, where there is an entrance to the Earl's Court Exhibition. But Kensington as a borough is both more and less than the above. It does not include all West Kensington, nor even the whole of Kensington Gardens, but it stretches up to Kensal Green on the north, taking in the cemetery, which is its extreme northerly limit. If we draw a somewhat wavering line from the west side of the cemetery, leaving outside the Roman Catholic cemetery, and continue from here to Uxbridge Road Station, thence to Addison Road Station, and thence again through West Brompton to Chelsea Station, we shall have traced roughly the western boundary of the borough. It covers an immense area, and it begins and ends in a cemetery, for at the south-western corner is the West London, locally known as the Brompton, Cemetery. In shape the borough is strikingly like a man's leg and foot in a top-boot. The western line already traced is the back of the leg, the Brompton Cemetery is the heel, the sole extends from here up Fulham Road and Walton Street, and ends at Hooper's Court, west of Sloane Street. This, it is true, makes a very much more pointed toe than is usual in a man's boot, for the line turns back immediately down the Brompton Road.

  • The Old War Office Building
    MINISTRY OF DEFENCE The Old War Office Building A history The Old War Office Building …a building full of history Foreword by the Rt. Hon Geoff Hoon MP, Secretary of State for Defence The Old War Office Building has been a Whitehall landmark for nearly a century. No-one can fail to be impressed by its imposing Edwardian Baroque exterior and splendidly restored rooms and stairways. With the long-overdue modernisation of the MOD Main Building, Defence Ministers and other members of the Defence Council – the Department’s senior committee – have moved temporarily to the Old War Office. To mark the occasion I have asked for this short booklet, describing the history of the Old War Office Building, to be published. The booklet also includes a brief history of the site on which the building now stands, and of other historic MOD headquarters buildings in Central London. People know about the work that our Armed Forces do around the world as a force for good. Less well known is the work that we do to preserve our heritage and to look after the historic buildings that we occupy. I hope that this publication will help to raise awareness of that. The Old War Office Building has had a fascinating past, as you will see. People working within its walls played a key role in two World Wars and in the Cold War that followed. The building is full of history. Lawrence of Arabia once worked here. I am now occupying the office which Churchill, Lloyd-George and Profumo once had.
