Planning committee
Decided by Kensington and Chelsea Planning Applications Committee on 21 Jul 2026.
Approved unanimously
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because the accommodation supports the hospital, preserves the conservation area and would not harm neighbours subject to a management plan.
- Six letters objected, raising concerns about housing loss, heritage, unrestricted use, the retrospective application and disturbance.
- The committee unanimously granted permission but removed the operational management plan condition.
