Supporting Information Submission Draft (Regulation 22) Special Policy Areas and Policies Map Revision Supporting Information Submission Draft (Regulation 22) Special Policy Areas and Policies Map Revision Revision to Westminster's City Plan April 2016 Supporting Information – Submission Draft Special Policy Areas and Policies Map Revision 1. This note sets out monitoring updates with regard to the Special Policy Areas (SPAs). 2. Harley Street and Portland Place Special Policy Areas have been previously monitored in the Annual Monitoring Report. An extract of the Annual Monitoring Report 2010-2011 regarding the then adopted Special Policy Areas is included at Appendix 1. The East Marylebone SPA has been proposed for deletion, supporting information including survey results was made available at publication (Regulation 19) stage1. 3. The Savile Row and St James’s SPAs were adopted in 2011 in the Core Strategy, and taken forward in the adoption of Westminster’s City Plan: Strategic Policies, following the NPPF Revision to Westminster’s Core Strategy. Detailed policies for these SPAs, and a new Mayfair SPA are proposed in the Special Policy Areas and Policies Map Revision. Policy monitoring reports, therefore have not yet undertaken assessments for these SPAs. Monitoring of uses, however, demonstrate continued clusters of specialist uses. Harley Street Special Policy Area 4. Regarding the Harley Street SPA, the monitoring report showed an increase in over 10,00sm2 medical floorspace since 2004 (Appendix 1, page 38), concluding that the policy objective of supporting and enhancing medical uses if working well. Table 1 below, demonstrates the continuing trend of gains in medical floorspace, and successful implementation of policy. Table 1: Completed Medical floorspace in Harley Street SPA Year Net Medical floorspace (sqm) 2011-2012 584 2012-2013 4292 2013-2014 -272 2014-2015 2235 Total 6839 1 SPA&PM/WCC/ Supporting Information Publication Draft Special Policy Areas and Policies Map Revision (2015) Portland Place Special Policy Area 5. Regarding the Portland Place SPA, the monitoring report demonstrated a continued cluster of diplomatic, foundation and other institutional uses (Appendix 1, page 38). In May 2012, the council published the Institutional Study: Portland Place Special Policy Area2 which demonstrated the stability of the uses in the area. A further survey of the area in 2015 showed that 4 institutional uses had changed, two to office use, and two to educational use. The educational uses were granted planning permission on a temporary basis, in order that the premises will revert to institutional uses. Decision notices are attached at Appendix 2 for these premises at 36 and 38 Portland Place. One of the office uses following reversion to ‘nil’ use as the previous occupant had the benefit of a personal planning permission. Savile Row Special Policy Area 6. The council identified ground floor land uses in the Savile Row Special Policy Area in the Mayfair & St James’s consultation booklet3, which demonstrated the concentration of tailoring uses, the map is attached at Appendix 3. A further survey in 2016 (Appendix 4) demonstrated the continued dominance of tailoring uses in the SPA. St James’s Special Policy Area 7. The council undertook a Study of Art Galleries in St James’s in 20124, this mapped art galleries and antiques traders in the wider area, incorporating Mayfair (Appendix 1 of that study, appended here at Appendix 5). An updated map based on GOAD retail surveys in 2014, and updated by recent site surveys, is appended as Appendix 6 showing continued clustering of art gallery and antique trader uses. 8. Since 2011 permission has been granted for two new private members clubs and an extension to an existing club in the St James’s SPA, comprising a net gain of 4070sqm floor space. Mayfair Special Policy Area 9. The Study of Art Galleries in St James’s in 20125, also mapped art galleries and antiques traders in the wider area, incorporating Mayfair (Appendix 1 of that study, appended here at Appendix 5). An updated map based on GOAD retail surveys in 2014 and updated by recent site surveys, is appended as Appendix 6 showing continued clustering of art gallery and antique trader uses. 2 SPA&PM/WCC/ Institutional Uses Study (2012) 3 SPA&PM/WCC/ Mayfair and St James’s Consultation Booklet (2013) 4 SPA&PM/WCC/ Study of Art Galleries in St James’s (2012) 5 SPA&PM/WCC/ Study of Art Galleries in St James’s (2012) 1 10. There is strong support for protecting art galleries, as noted in the Regulation 19 and 22 consultation statements for this Revision. In addition, the Mayfair & St James’s consultation booklet6 noted that the ‘Save Cork Street’ campaign received over 13,000 signatures against the proposed development of several galleries. A copy of the petition webpage is included at Appendix 7. The two redevelopment schemes which the petition was campaigning on were granted permission with legal agreements to secure the reprovision of floorspace for art or antique gallery/shop. Decision notices are attached at Appendix 8, with permission specifying space for art or antique gallery /shop for development at 29-30 Old Burlington Street and 22 Cork Street (13/01715/FULL) - condition 29 and informative 2(i) 5-9 Cork Street (12/10803/FULL) – informative 1(i) Appendices Appendix 1: Annual Monitoring Report 2010-2011 (pages 37-41 Special Policy Areas) Appendix 2: Decision notices for 36 and 38 Portland Place Appendix 3: Map of ground floor uses Savile Row 2012 Appendix 4: Survey of ground floor uses Savile Row 2016 Appendix 5: Map of art galleries and antique traders in St James’s and Mayfair 2012 Appendix 6: Map of art galleries and antique traders in St James’s and Mayfair 2014 Appendix 7: Website for ‘Save Cork Street’ petition Appendix 8: Decision notices for development at 29-30 Old Burlington Street and 22 Cork Street (13/01715/FULL) and at 5-9 Cork Street (12/10803/FULL) 6 SPA&PM/WCC/ Mayfair and St James’s Consultation Booklet (2013) 2 SPECIAL POLICY AREAS Indicator A14: Portland Place Special Policy Area Map Organisation Address Category Ref Extract from Annual Monitoring Report 2010-2011 Swedish Embassy 27 Portland Place Diplomatic 11 Chinese Embassy 31 Portland Place Diplomatic 13 Polish Embassy Cultural Institute 34 Portland Place Diplomatic 14 Columbian Consulate 35 Portland Place Diplomatic 7 The Kenya High Commission 45 Portland Place Diplomatic 18 Polish Embassy 47 Portland Place Diplomatic 20 Chinese Embassy 49 Portland Place Diplomatic 21 Chinese Embassy 50 Portland Place Diplomatic 22 Turkish Embassy 69 Portland Place Diplomatic 26 RAF Benevolent Fund 12 Park Crescent Foundation 25 Architects Benevolent Society 43 Portland Place Foundation 17 Red Mansion Foundation 46 Portland Place Foundation 19 Royal College of Midwives 15 Mansfield Street Institute 3 Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators 16 Park Crescent Institute 6 Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain & Ireland 21 Portland Place Institute 8 The UK Central Council for Nursing Midwifery and Health Visiting 23 Portland Place Institute 9 Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music 24 Portland Place Institute 10 The Royal Society of Public Health 28 Portland Place Institute 12 The British Medical Ultrasound Society 36 Portland Place Institute 15 Royal College of Radiologists 38 Portland Place Institute 16 Institute of Contemporary History and Leo Baeck Institute and Weiner Library 4 Devonshire Street Institute 1 Academy of Medical Sciences 41 Portland Place Institute 28 Australian Broadcasting Corporation 54 Portland Place Institute 23 APPENDIX 1 The Nuffield Trust 59 New Cavendish Street Institute 4 Energy Institute 61 New Cavendish Street Institute 5 Royal Institute of British Architects 66 Portland Place Institute 24 British Veterinary Association 7 Mansfield Street Institute 2 The Institute of Physics 76-78 Portland Place Institute 27 37 Policy Assessment - Portland Place Special Policy Area (UDP Policy References - STRA 9, COM 6, COM 7) Policy Objective/Approach – Protecting institutional uses in Portland Place Special Policy Area (SPA) +/= Policy Assessment Survey results for the Portland Place SPA in 2010-11 reveals a continued clustering of diplomatic, foundation and other institutions although there have been some reductions from previous years. The Columbian Consulate has located to Portland Place, but two foundations (the RAF Benevolent Fund and Calouste Gulbenkein Foundation) have moved out of the SPA. From the site survey and a subsequent web search it is hard to tell if The Red Mansion Foundation still occupies 46 Portland Place. Action – The Portland Place Special Policy Area boundary was reduced to the north as part of the Core Strategy process. Monitoring will continue. Harley Street Special Policy Area Indicator A15: Completed Medical floor space in Harley Street Special Policy Area Year Net Medical sqm 2004-05 1372 2005-06 5448 2006-07 523 2007-08 -593 2008-09 1831 2009-10 738 2010-11 939 Total sqm 10258 38 Table Highlights The 939 sqm of net additional completed floor space in 2010-11 came from six applications. Four change of use applications (residential to medical, office to medical and medical to residential) resulted in 398 net sqm of medical floor space). Two applications to continue using the floor space for medical use and one extension resulted in 541 sqm medical floor space within the SPA. Policy Assessment - Harley Street Special Policy Area (UDP Policy References – SOC 5) Policy Objective/Approach – Protect private medical uses in the Harley Street Special Policy Area (SPA), not significantly alter the balance of medical and residential uses in the area and not have harmful effects on local amenity. + Policy Assessment Over the past six years there has been over 10,000 sqm net increases in private medical floor space in the SPA indicating that the policy is working well. There has been a trend for land use swaps between buildings in the Harley Street area between consulting rooms and residential uses in order to provide enhanced residential amenity and improved consulting rooms.

Bound by Aybrook, Moxon, Cramer and St. Vincent Streets, Marylebone Square is reintroducing a long-lost local street pattern to the area. MARYLEBONE SQUARE INTRODUCTION A Rare London Find What is it about Marylebone? Perhaps it’s the elegance of its architecture and the charm of its boutiques and eateries – or the surprising tranquillity of its tree-lined streets, a world away from the bustle of nearby Oxford Street. In the end, it might be the sense of community and leisurely pace of life that sets this neighbourhood apart. As the city buzzes with its busy schedules, Marylebone takes its time – savouring sit-down coffees in local cafés and loungy lunches in the park. It’s easy to forget you’re just a short stroll away from transport hubs, tourist attractions and all the trappings of big city life. As you find yourself “Marylebone Square idling around the shops on chic Chiltern Street, exchanging hellos with the butcher at the Ginger Pig or sunbathing in a quiet corner of Paddington Square is a collection Gardens, you quickly realise that this is a place where people actually live – of 54 high-end not just commute to, pass through, or visit for a few hours a day.

  • Introduction
    DRAFT Introduction Like many of London’s place names, Marylebone means different things to different people. To some it connotes the Marylebone Road and its penumbra, scarred by grinding traffic, to others the area adjacent to the two Marylebone Stations, main-line and underground, while those with a sense of civic history may call to mind a once proud parish stretching from Oxford Street through St John’s Wood to the edge of Kilburn. By far the most famous association is with Lords, and the Marylebone Cricket Club founded in 1787. But the enduring image of Marylebone as a district is of the grid of alternating streets and mews, leavened by the occasional square, that picks up the West End’s uncertain structure beyond Oxford Street and shakes it into order and urbanity. The core of that district lies at the heart of these volumes. One of London’s historic great estates, it started out in the 1710s under the Harleys, passed to the Portlands and is now largely in the freehold ownership of the Howard de Walden dynasty. Breaking outwards from Cavendish Square, Harley, Wimpole and Welbeck Streets run to the north; Queen Anne, New Cavendish, Weymouth and Devonshire Streets cross between them: Portland Place, laid out by the Adam brothers and debouching into Nash’s Park Crescent, gives the grid its spacious eastern edge. Rigid in layout yet human in scale, the disciplined planning and architecture of these streets are the outcome of a historic Georgian underlay refreshed by piecemeal adjustments over the centuries. Westwards of this eligible area come Marylebone High Street and Marylebone Lane, the ancient axis of the parish, connecting Oxford Street with the former nucleus of Marylebone village.
