Westminster City Council have granted Planning Permission for the redevelopment of 23-24 Henrietta Street in Covent Garden to five large high end apartments with a new retail unit at ground floor and basement level. The existing building is a Grade 2 Listed Building with an elegant Victorian brick facade, and the permission includes the introduction of a new doorway for a shop through the Listed building facade which was carefully detailed with the agreement of the WCC's Conservation Officer.

The scheme includes a new duplex  penthouse with a double height atrium space and stunning views at the rear into Inigo Jones' St.Paul's Church courtyard. The building is owned by the John Lewis Pension Fund and is located within 100 metres of the vibrant Covent Garden Piazza in central London.

Planning Permission granted for Southampton Place, Holborn

Brimelow McSweeney Architects have won Planning Permission for our client Holborn Links, to convert No. 15 Southampton Place, a Grade 2* office building in Holborn into six luxury apartments.The building lies within Bloomsbury Conservation Area and close to Bloomsbury Square and the British Museum. It forms part of a Georgian terrace that is Palladian in style and was built between 1757-63.

The permission was granted as part of a land use swap with 31 Southampton Row in Holborn where four low value existing flats are being converted into 4,000 sq.ft. of modern open plan offices within this Grade 2 Listed Building. Approval for both schemes was received at the Camden Planning Committee on 7th February 2013.
