2 THE PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OF 7 - 12 LEINSTER SQUARE

Leinster Square Ltd will soon be submitting a planning application to Westminster City Council for the transformation of the former Leinster Inn Hotel at 7 - 12 Leinster Square into five townhouses and six apartments.

The previous owners of the building, Shaftesbury Hotels, were proposing to turn the old Hotel - run as a youth hostel - into a boutique hotel. A public exhibition was held but, prior to a planning application being heard by Westminster City Council’s Planning Committee, the building was sold to the current owners, Leinster Square Ltd.

As a practicality Leinster Square Ltd - with Alchemi Group acting as Development Managers - will continue with the hotel application.

However, their intention is to seek permission from Westminster City Council to transform 7 -12 Leinster Square into five townhouses and six apartments.

The plan is to reinstate the lower floors into high quality townhouses and the upper floors into spacious, single level apartments.

The planning application will be submitted prior to Christmas and following consultation with local residents and businesses.

3 THE PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OF 7 - 12 LEINSTER SQUARE

The current building

The six existing buildings of 7 - 12 Leinster Square were originally designed as a unified terrace with a continuous front facade.

Unfortunately, the front of the building is now in a state of considerable disrepair.

Internally, the building is literally falling apart.

The rear has suffered from decades of ill-judged extensions and is an eyesore when viewed from Monmouth Road.

The residential conversion will restore 7 - 12 Leinster Square to its former luster.

Rear of 7 - 12 Leinster Square to be modernised

The rear of 7 - 12 Leinster Square, facing Monmouth Road, has seen considerable alterations over recent decades.

The residential application will see the removal of the poor quality extensions and repair the original fabric.
