Planning permission and listed building consent were gained for this property in Sackville Street, Mayfair, London. The works required were the extension and restoration of this listed property as well as a change of use. The property was built in 1732, with 19th century alterations. The application site provided private office space across all floor levels and had been subject to detrimental modern alterations that harm the significance of the historic structure. Permission was sought to convert the property into a medium size Restaurant (A3) and take the opportunity to restore the historic fabric and improve the significance of the building.

The design has been robustly considered with involvement from other professional consultants to provide a scheme that satisfies the evolving needs and requirements for a proposed new use that meets its owner interest in opening up the building to public use. The internal layout has been designed to be sensitive to the internal features and Grade II Listed Fabric, and the opportunity will be taken to restore these listed features where needed to improve the condition of the Listed Building and its surrounds. The proposed scheme also aims to maintain/ enhance the local amenity and character of the area. The rear courtyard and flat roof to the existing basement rear extension areas are also seen as positive interventions for character and interest. In summary, the proposed conversion intends to enhance the significance of the Listed building and create a new facility accessible to the general public that will make an important contribution to the local area.
