Summary

The Kensington and Chelsea Planning Applications Committee scheduled a meeting for Tuesday, 18 November 2025, to discuss various planning applications and related matters. The meeting included consideration of reports from the Director of Planning and Place regarding several properties within the borough.

Burton Court, St Leonard's Terrace

An application concerning Burton Court, a Grade II listed park and garden, was included on the agenda. The Royal Hospital Chelsea sought permission for the construction of new tennis courts, a shelter, and associated fencing.

The report pack noted that the addition of tennis courts and fencing would introduce visual clutter, which would be detrimental to the open character of the listed park. This was considered to cause less than substantial harm, but it was also noted that the development would generate funds for the Royal Hospital.

The report pack stated that a biodiversity net gain of 10% should be achieved, and that further information regarding trees and a sustainable urban drainage strategy would be secured via pre-commencement conditions.

Public House, 326 Earl's Court Road

The committee was scheduled to discuss an application relating to a public house at 326 Earl's Court Road, which was built between 1890 and 1892 in the Flemish Revival style by George Whitaker. The application sought advertisement consent for the temporary display of an illuminated static banner advertisement, measuring 12m x 7m, inset into a scaffold shroud during approved refurbishment works for a period of 12 months.

The report pack stated that the proposed shroud would be appropriate in the wider streetscape and would not harm the visual amenity of the area. It also stated that the advertisement would not adversely affect highway safety.

A corresponding listed building consent application was also scheduled to be discussed.

42 and 43 Brompton Square

The Planning Applications Committee were scheduled to discuss applications concerning 42 and 43 Brompton Square, which are grade II listed terrace houses. The application sought retrospective planning permission for the temporary removal of a rear garden wall between the properties, and its subsequent rebuild, to facilitate basement works.

51 and 52 Sloane Street

An application concerning 51 and 52 Sloane Street was included on the agenda. Cadogan Estates Limited sought to vary conditions relating to a previously granted planning permission, to allow the first-floor roof terrace to be used as an external amenity space.

33 Clabon Mews

The committee was scheduled to discuss an application for 33 Clabon Mews, which is a corner plot mews property. The application sought permission for the excavation of a single-storey basement.

Flats D and E, 37 Elgin Crescent

The committee was scheduled to discuss an application for Flats D and E, at 37 Elgin Crescent. The application sought planning permission for proposed rear extensions to ground and basement flats.
