The Planning Applications Committee of Kensington and Chelsea Council met on Tuesday, 18 November 2025, to consider a range of planning applications. The meeting's agenda included discussions on proposed extensions, window replacements, alterations to sports facilities, and basement excavations across various locations within the borough.

Flats D and E, 37 Elgin Crescent, London, W11 2JD

The committee was scheduled to consider a proposal for rear extensions to ground and basement flats at 37 Elgin Crescent. The report indicated that the proposed extension would preserve the character and appearance of the property, the wider terrace grouping, and the Ladbroke Conservation Area. It was also noted that the extension would preserve the setting of the neighbouring Registered Listed Garden and ensure good living conditions for neighbouring occupiers. Objections received from interested parties were addressed within the report, with conditions recommended to mitigate concerns.

Talbot House, 10 Ladbroke Crescent, London, W11 1PS

A report was scheduled for discussion regarding proposed works at Talbot House, including the removal and replacement of pitched roof covering, replacement of balcony glass infill panels with 'Vulcan VitraDual' façade panels, and the replacement of single-glazed windows with double-glazed units. The proposal was expected to have an acceptable impact on neighbouring properties and preserve the character and appearance of the building and streetscape, as well as the setting of the nearby Ladbroke Conservation Area.

85 Ladbroke Grove, London, W11 2HB

The committee was to review maintenance works to the building fabric at 85 Ladbroke Grove, including the replacement of single-glazed timber sash windows with double-glazed units, replacement of roof tiles, and replacement of rainwater goods. The report suggested these works would have an acceptable impact on neighbouring properties and preserve the character, appearance, and significance of the building and the wider Ladbroke Conservation Area.

2-4 Colville Road, London, W11 2BP

A report was scheduled concerning the replacement of single-glazed timber sash and casement windows and glazed doors with double-glazed timber sash and casement windows and doors at 2-4 Colville Road. The proposal was anticipated to have an acceptable impact on neighbouring properties and preserve the character, appearance, and significance of the building and the wider Colville Conservation Area.

Chelsea Sports Centre and Flat 1 Chelsea Sports Centre, Chelsea Manor Street, London, SW3

The committee was to consider two applications related to Chelsea Sports Centre: planning permission for the replacement of patent glazing to roof lights and side windows, and timber frame within roofs above the yoga studio, gym, and wellness suite; and listed building consent for the same works. The proposed replacements were expected to have a minimal impact on the listed building and conservation area, preserving the character and appearance of the Sloane Stanley Conservation Area and maintaining living conditions for neighbouring properties. The report noted that the original roof lanterns were in poor condition, and replacement with replicas would cause limited harm, outweighed by public benefits such as lower running costs and reduced carbon emissions.

Elm Park House, Fulham Road, London, SW10 9QD

The committee was scheduled to consider an application for the discharge of condition 3 of planning permission PP/22/02752, relating to the installation of a generator enclosure for fire-fighting lifts. The application sought approval for the materials and finishes proposed for the external faces of the building and confirmed no landscaping works were proposed. The report indicated that the proposed materials would align with the main building of Elm Park House and preserve the character and appearance of the Cornwall Conservation Area.

Public House, 326 Earl's Court Road, London, SW5 9BQ

Two applications were listed for the Public House at 326 Earl's Court Road: advertisement consent for the temporary display of an illuminated static banner advertisement on a scaffold shroud during refurbishment works, and listed building consent for the erection of the temporary scaffold and shroud. The proposed shroud was considered appropriate in the streetscape, temporary in nature, and would not harm the visual amenity of the area or the Grade II listed building. The advertisement would not impair sight lines for motorists or affect highway safety.

361 Fulham Road, London, SW10 9TW

The committee was to review refurbishment works at 361 Fulham Road, including the replacement of existing windows with new aluminium units, external and internal communal decorations, and flat roof section replacement. The proposed works were described as a like-for-like replacement and refresh of decorations, expected to preserve the character and appearance of the area and maintain good living conditions for residents.

51 and 52 Sloane Street, London, SW1X 9SW

A report was scheduled concerning a variation of conditions of a previous planning permission for 51 and 52 Sloane Street. The application sought to allow the use of part of the first-floor roof as an external amenity space and to amend the proposed first-floor drawing set. Subject to recommended conditions, the proposed amendments were expected to preserve the character, appearance, and significance of the host property, the wider group, and the Hans Town Conservation Area, while also preserving living conditions for neighbouring occupiers. Objections received were addressed, with conditions recommended to mitigate concerns.

42 and 43 Brompton Square, London, SW3 2AF

The committee was to consider planning permission and listed building consent for the temporary removal and rebuild of the rear garden wall between 42 and 43 Brompton Square. This was to facilitate basement works previously consented. The report indicated that the existing wall was modern, and the proposals would have no impact on historic fabric. The temporary removal and rebuild, subject to conditions ensuring the use of existing bricks where possible and appropriate new materials, would safeguard the listed buildings and preserve the character and appearance of the Brompton Conservation Area. Objections were noted and addressed.

Burton Court, St Leonard's Terrace, London, SW3 4QJ

A significant application was scheduled for the construction of two new tennis courts, a shelter, and associated fencing at Burton Court. The report indicated that the proposals would introduce visual clutter and be detrimental to the open character of the Grade II listed park, amounting to less than substantial harm. However, this harm was expected to be outweighed by public benefits, including contributions towards the running and maintenance costs of The Royal Hospital Chelsea. The development was also expected to safeguard living conditions and address biodiversity net gain, trees, and sustainable urban drainage. Objections were received and addressed, with conditions recommended.

33 Clabon Mews, London, SW1X 0EQ

The committee was to consider an application for the excavation of a single-storey basement at 33 Clabon Mews. The proposed basement would be contained within the footprint of the existing dwelling with no external manifestations. The report indicated that the basement would comply with Local Plan policy CD11 (Basements) and preserve the character, appearance, and significance of the Hans Town Conservation Area, as well as the living conditions of surrounding neighbours. Objections were noted and addressed, with conditions recommended to mitigate construction impacts and ensure appropriate drainage.
