The existing garages have been vacant for many years, and due to this have fallen into a state of disrepair, including a leak in the roof and damaged facade.
The site is located in the Maida Vale Conservation Area. The existing building is at the Western end of Widley Road and in very close proximity to Essendine Road. The area is comprised predominantly of residential mansion blocks and the low existing building at 61 Widley road is not in keeping with the established roof line. There was a previous application at this site, in which a number of local concerns were raised. This new proposal is aspiring to make significant improvements to the scheme, responding to the concerns of residents.
The Grade II listed Essendine Primary School is in very close proximity to the site and careful design development will ensure the new proposal is sympathetic to its neighbours.
Presentation material shared at the event will be made available on this website following the presentation.
Following consultation with local residents and ongoing discussions with Westminster City Council planning officers, a planning application for 61 Widley Road has now been submitted and validated.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to participate in the engagement process. The feedback received played an important role in shaping the final proposals.
The submitted scheme can now be viewed on Westminster City Council’s planning portal using reference 26/01050/FULL.
