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.

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.

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

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. Although applications in recent years have resulted in some losses of medical floor space to residential use, the loss has been counter-balanced by other medical use gains resulting in year on year net gains. This has been a consistently successful policy approach as it allows for the development of appropriate medical facilities in the SPA without significantly altering the character of the area, and maintaining the balance of medical and residential uses. 39 Action – Continue to monitor.

A note on Core Strategy CS2 The boundary for the Core Strategy Harley Street SPA has not been changed from the UDP version. Medical facilities are still protected within the Harley Street SPA. A stricter policy is proposed in the Draft City Management Policy 1.21 which only allows the loss of medical facilities in exceptional circumstances. The supporting text provides for land use swaps in the vicinity where appropriate and resisting non-residential changes of use. Due consideration should be given to this policy as it gains more weight in the 2011/12 AMR and as the policies „bed in‟ in following years.

East Marylebone Special Policy Area

Indicator A16: Permissions for showrooms in the East Marylebone Special Policy Area

Year No of showrooms in SPA from 2000 2000 148 2007 118 2008 96 2010 93 2011 92

Table Highlights Since 2000 there has been a general decline in the number of wholesale showroom uses in the East Marylebone Special Policy Area.

The decline in showrooms has been in the periphery of the Special Policy Area and there is still a significant cluster on Great Portland Street and Great Titchfield Street.

Survey data and planning permissions have confirmed that 92 showrooms are still operating in the Special Policy Area.

40 East Marylebone Special Policy Area Policy Assessment (UDP Policy References – COM 12 (A))

Policy Objective/Approach –

Protect showroom uses in the East Marylebone Special Policy Area (SPA)

+/= Policy Assessment

Although there has been a decline in wholesale showroom premises since 2000, the main cluster of showrooms (in the centre of the policy area) on Great Portland Street or Great Tichfield Street still provide character to the area. These are more resilient than those positioned on the periphery, which have been lost, especially on streets like Eastcastle Street, to other uses such as galleries. In recognition of this the emerging Core Strategy has reduced the boundary of the SPA.

Action – Continue Monitoring
