Planning committee
Decided by Kensington and Chelsea Planning Applications Committee on 20 Oct 2026.
Refused
Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.
- Officers advised approval because the unlit, temporary advertisements would preserve visual amenity and avoid highway-safety harm.
- One resident supported the application, and no public consultation was undertaken for the advertisement consent application.
- The application was refused because information about noise, management, traffic and community benefits was insufficient.
