Summary of planning committee decision
Decided by Kensington And Chelsea Planning Applications Committee on 11 Aug 2026.
What was proposed
The application sought to add rear and side elevation drawings showing complete fenestration works, alongside previously approved front elevation window replacements.
“The proposal and any relevant planning history 4.1 Planning permission is sought for ‘Variation of Condition 2 (Compliance with approved drawings) of planning permission PP/25/03900, to provide rear and side elevation drawings to represent the complete fenestration works’.
