We are pleased to confirm that prior approval has been granted for the change of use of the basement of the property from commercial (Use Class E). the application was made under Class MA, which allows certain changes of use subject to meeting the relevant criteria
During the process, we maintained constructive dialogue with City of Westminster Council to ensure all technical matters were appropriately addressed. Key discussions focused on natural light, safe and convenient access, internal layout, and noise mitigation. By submitting detailed supporting information and demonstrating compliance with national and local guidance, we were able to reassure officers that the proposal met all necessary requirements. This collaborative approach allowed the council to issue approval efficiently and within the statutory timeframe
The benefits of this approval are clear. It brings an under used basement into active use, provides much needed housing in a sustainable location, and supports the regeneration of the wider area by balancing commercial and residential activity. The permitted development process also streamlines delivery, reducing delay and cost while safeguarding important amenity considerations
