Overview

A full planning application and an associated application for Listed Building Consent was submitted for the extension of an existing restaurant on Marchmont Street into an adjoining shop unit.  The proposed development raised town centre vitality and viability issues as it involved the loss of a shop unit as well as heritage issues associated with the application site’s listed status and location within the Bloomsbury Conservation Area.  A comprehensive application was submitted which included a full ‘health check’ of the Marchmont Street Neighbourhood Centre and a detailed Design, Access and Heritage Statement.  Planning permission was secured on application.
