2.4 Conservation Area and Listed Buildings
The site falls within the Molyneux Street Conservation Area where
there are many examples of 4-storey, Georgian, London stock brick
terraced houses with 6-storey, red brick mansion blocks positioned
mid-way along the street.
There are a number of nationally and locally listed buildings (Grade
II) in the conservation area: 1) Group comprising 6-9 Molyneux
Street - located adjacent to the site on its south east side; 2) group
comprising 41-49 Molyneux Street - located to the north east of the
site across Molyneux Street, 3) 1a Cato Street - located to the south
west of the site within this urban block and former mews lane. Elliott
House itself is not identified as an unlisted building of merit but is
neutral.

2.0 SITE AND CONTEXT APPRAISAL
2.5 The Heritage Appraisal describes the significance of Historical
Development of the Site:
The Molyneaux Street Conservation Area is situated on land that
formed part of the ancient parish of St. Marylebone, which extended
north from Oxford Street and north east from Edgware Road, to the
slopes of Hampstead and Parliament Hill. The village of St. Mary-leBourne was concentrated along what is now Marylebone High Street,
to the north of Oxford Street. The name ‘Marylebone’ is thought to
derive from the parish church dedicated to St. Mary the Virgin, located
on the edge of a small stream called the Tyburn, which flowed down
from Hampstead to the Thames. The church still stands today at the
north end of Marylebone High Street.
By 1830 the area of Marylebone had been fully developed. The streets
comprising today’s conservation area were laid out and developed
during the first decade of the nineteenth century, in the typical Georgian
grid-iron pattern, as an area of ‘fourth rate’ terraced housing.
The street names within the area reflect the social and intellectual
aspirations of the original residents, with a number of them named
after military men or scholars. Molyneux Street was named after
Admiral Lord Molyneux Shuldham. Cato Street was named after the
essayist Cato.
1830
1910
1870
1950
During the 1870s the detail of the building footprints was changed.
The buildings along Horace Street (now Cato Street) sat within smaller,
square plots and would have served as stables to the properties onto the
south west side of Molyneux Street and the north east side of Newnham
Street. A police station occupied the application site at this date and
stood adjacent to a public house.
During the 1890s there was a shift in taste which saw many of the
Georgian terraces within Marylebone replaced by more boldly modeled
frontages, with a variety of doorways, gables and bay windows in a
range of styles. However, the conservation area escaped this shift in
taste and therefore most of the original 19th century terraces are
retained. The police station was extended to cover a much larger plot,
on which Elliott House now stands.
Elliott House was constructed in 1939 as a police staff residence.

2.0 SITE AND CONTEXT APPRAISAL
2.6 Existing Building
Elliott House was built in 1939 by Westminster
Department Architects.
Although the existing building may be described as
neutral, its Art Deco style is not a prime example of this
period or indeed the architecture that characterises the
conservation area. The Heritage Appraisal describes:
“... that the contribution of Elliott House to the character
and appearance of the area is at best only neutral, and at
worse detracts from key features of its special interest due
to relate to the surrounding and prevailing late Georgian
terraced properties in terms of their design, rhythm, overall
scale, materiality and architectural detailing. Similarly,
assessment of the significance and setting of nearby listed
buildings reveals that the existing building on site does not
make a positive contribution to the significance of these
other designated heritage assets.”
Front Elevation
Rear Elevation
Side Elevation
The facade displays some derivative Art Deco features and
also seeks to turn the corner with a curve, but it is a late
example of the style with little finesse or exceptional quality
of materials and detailing, and the more traditional slate
clad mansard roof form appears rather ungainly atop its
more Moderne cement rendered host. It is not a building
that provides a positive focal point within the conservation
area.
In addition to this, the building is of poor quality
construction and includes floor-ceiling heights as low as
2.3 m high.

2.0 SITE AND CONTEXT APPRAISAL
2.7 Surrounding Land Uses
The majority of buildings along Molyneux Street were built for
residential use, and nowadays most of the houses still are in
use as single family dwellings.
There are a range of commercial properties situated on Cato
Street and small group of shopfronts along Crawford Place
and Harrowby Street. Tonga High Commission is based in 36
Molyneux Street, four public houses exist within the area, three
of which are located on corner plots, and all form important
features within the townscape. Edgware Road, nearby, is rich in
culture; it is known for its distinctive and diverse communities
from across the Middle East with many Lebanese and Arabic
restaurants lining the streets.
2.8 Urban Grain
Molyneux Street Elevations
The urban grain of Molyneux Street Conservation Area is
variable and the quality of architecture varies significantly.
Molyneaux Street is characterised by 4-storey Georgian,
London stock brick terraced houses with 6 storey, red brick
mansion blocks positioned mid-way along the street. Large, red
brick mansion blocks with terracotta detailing and projecting
bay windows running the full height of the building are typical
of the wider area. Crawford Place comprises a more eclectic
mix of building types, but the grain is similar; brick is the
predominant building material. Stone and terracotta are used
as dressings or feature details.

Elliott House does not fit in the context and does not relate to
the common character of the streets.

2.9 Environmental Analysis
Sun path
The primary frontages of the site faces North-West and North
East. Therefore generous openings should be provided to allow
maximum natural light into living spaces. The Cato Street
elevation faces South-West. There is no over-shadowing to the
elevation.
Wind
The prevailing wind is predominantly from the South West.
Surrounding buildings provides a barrier against this; the
protection from cold Northern winds is carefully considered
and is reflected to the choice of the materiality and window
quality.
Noise
Elliott House has traffic running frequently along the front of
the building, therefore a high acoustic standard to the facade is
required.

2.10 Surrounding Scale, Character and Materials
Elliott House Plot Analysis
The plot is rectangular of approximately 42m long by 24m wide
at the Crawford Place, reducing to 19m towards Molyneux
Street where the site attaches the terrace houses.
Elliott House Elevation Analysis
Elliott House is a large scale building of approximately 19m
high; 42m long, and occupies 1/4 of the entire length of
Molyneux Street, attached to 4-storey Georgian terrace house.
Georgian terrace houses create strong uniformity along the
streetscape with their classical composition of white rendered
base and brick stock above. The window proportion and
spacing is crucial to the character of the terrace.
Material Analysis
The Molyneux Street Conservation Area has a rich palette
of materials including London Stock, red brick and black
metalwork details. The prominant building material along
Molyneux Street is London stock brick; it is important to
acknowledge the detail and ornamentation, especially at street
level.
Transport and Movement
Crawford Street is the busiest road of the 3 surrounding streets.
Molyneux Street is a quiet route, and Cato Street is Cul-de-Sac
with no through traffic.

2.11 Planning Context and Policy Considerations
The planning policy context comprises three levels
of policies - national, regional and local. Savill’s
Planning Statement provides a full assessment of
relevant policies.
National planning policy is set out in the form of
the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF)
which was adopted on 25 March 2015.
Regional planning policy is set out in the London
Plan, which was published by the Mayor of London
on March 2015 and other relevant Supplementary
Planning Guidance issued by the Mayor of London.
The local planning policy for Westminster
consists of the Unitary Development Plan and
Westminster’s City Plan: Strategic Policies.

3.0 CONSULTATION
3.0 A series of consultations have been conducted with local residents, resident’s associations and
Westminster City Council. Curtin & Co. were appointed as consultants to manage public consultations.
3.1 Pre-Application advice:
3 pre-application meetings have been held with Westminster City Council.
The first, held on June 30, 2015 reviewed initial design proposals for demolition of the existing
building, with the construction of a new building.
The principal of demolition was agreed, together with the design approach towards site layout,
access and servicing. The design officer wanted to see a more contextual approach adopted where the
adjacent stock brick Georgian terraced houses along Molyneux Street were more directly referenced,
with the ‘cornice’ level of the existing building used as the principal street parapet level, where it could
correspond more effectively with the adjoining houses and reduce the perceived vertical components
of the new composition. The materiality was to reference the surrounding stock bricks more literally.
After the meeting, it was agreed by officers that follow-up advice on design could be progressed via
email communication.
The second meeting was held on October 28, 2015, where revisions to all 3 facades were tabled. It was
accepted that the design approach showed a big improvement over the initial one, with contextual
referencing and materiality. Westminster commented that the design of the Molyneux Street and
Crawford Place elevations needed further work, with closer referencing to the character of the
Molyneux Street conservation area. In particular, the rhythm of fenestration to the facades of the
adjacent Georgian houses, access bridges and doors at street level, removal of the top storey and the
removal of the grid of sandstone-clad terraces.
Amendments were made and circulated to officers via email; following feedback on the architecture
of the corner, final design options were presented at a meeting held on December 3, 2015, where it
was agreed that one of the options was considered successful in the approach and detail.
Molyneux Street Elevation - First Proposal
3.2 Consultation with Local groups:
Meetings have been held with the 2 resident’s associations that operate in the area: The Marylebone
Association and The Harrowby and District Resident’s Association.
2 meetings have been held with The Marylebone Association: initially to discuss the design as it was
submitted originally and subsequently following initial design revisions. The original design approach
was supported in terms of design approach and strategy, as well as more detailed design matters.
Some comments were made regarding the design of the Cato Street elevation, where The Association
were looking for the design to adopt more of the approach used along Molyneux Street and Crawford
Place, employing brick and more terraces, whilst still working with the context of Cato Street.
These comments, together with those received by neighbours, lead to changes to the rear façade and
further refinements across the scheme.
The second meeting was held on November 24, 2015, to look at the design revisions that were made
as a result of feedback from officers at the second meeting with WCC, but prior to the final designs
for the corner.
A meeting was also held with The Harrowby and District Resident’s Association on November 24,
where the design revisions were broadly welcomed, with some reservations on the architectural
treatment to the corner.
The final submission has been informed by feedback from Westminster officers, local residents, The
Harrowby and District RA and The Marylebone Association.

3.0 CONSULTATION
3.3 Consultation with Neighbours:
2 consultations were held at The Larrik Pub, opposite Elliott House. Curtin & Co. had sent out invitations widely across the area and to all interested parties to events held on a weekday evening and a Saturday
morning to allow for the maximum number of people to attend.
The consultation allowed the designs, laid out on large format A1 sheets, to be scrutinised; representatives from the planning consultants, architects and project managers were also present to answer any detailed
questions on the design. The responses received were overwhelmingly positive in supporting the development approach and the design ideas.

the front light-wells and details to the street level doors.
The proposed scheme draws from the surrounding context with
a composition that downplays the horizontality created by the
continuous large floor plates of the site and knits the building into
the grain of the streets. The Molyneux Street and Crawford Place
elevations present a terrace of ‘houses’ that are articulated by the
rhythm of fenestration, the expression of dividing ‘party walls’ at the
recessed fourth floor level and doors with access bridges across the
light-wells at ground level. The design of the corner to Molyneux
Street and Crawford Place reinforces the urban composition of the
block; the corner element itself steps out from the street facades and
is further accentuated by a different material treatment to the ‘base’
and ‘attic’.
To Cato Street, the building presents a cascading series of terraces
and framed, inset balconies; the character and materiality responds
specifically to the street and context. Portland Stone is used to
frame the balconies and the Petersen ‘Kolumba’ bricks reference the
predominant material along the street.
The scale and configuration are informed by the daylight and
sunlight requirements of the Cato Street residences opposite. The
opportunity to provide external amenity terrace space for the larger
apartments at upper levels is balanced with a more intimate scale
and privacy as the façade steps down to the 3-storey street elevation.

4.0 DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND EVOLUTION
4.3 Alternatives and Design Evolution
The design has evolved significantly since the submission of
the initial design concept:
1) Pre-Application Concept - Contemporary interpretation of
local mansion block typology; the architecture incorporates
a rhythm of masonry frames, based on the street frontage
module of the terraced houses along Molyneux Street and
Crawford Place; the facades emulate the scale and character
of the surrounding mansion blocks with their projecting bay
windows. The composition has a relaxed balance between the
vertical and horizontal components and the glazed terracotta
and dark bronze materiality echoes the pallette and spirit of
the local area. Recessed balconies and terraces provide outside
amenity to every apartment.
Molyneux Street Elevation - First Proposal
2) Application Design - draws more directly from the
surrounding context with a composition that downplays
horizontality and knits the building into the grain of the streets
with careful consideration given to proportion and materiality.
Distinct ‘corner’ and ‘entrance’ elements are accentuated by the
change to the design and materiality of these components.
Molyneux Street Elevation - Second Proposal
3) Post-application amendment - contemporary interpretation
of traditional London terraces with careful attention to
detail, proportion and materiality. The corner element acts to
reinforce the composition of the urban block, whilst providing
contextual accentuation to the streetscape.

5.0 THE SCHEME
5.1. Development Overview
The proposal involves the demolition of Elliott House at 1 Molyneux Street, replacing it with a new, high quality 5 storey residential building plus
Lower Ground Floor and Basement.
The new building provides 32 apartments comprising apartments and duplexes with a mix of 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom and 3-bedrooms.
Two car lifts are accessed via Cato Street and link to the basement level parking, where 32 spaces are available. The parking is organised using 2 car
stackers. 65 bicycle storage spaces are also provided at basement level, together with a gym for use by the residents.
The pavement vaults at Lower Ground Floor level are used for plant and ventilation purposes.
The internal spaces have been planned, in conjunction with the external elevations, to create high quality apartments with careful consideration
given to all aspects of the interior environment including privacy, acoustics, daylight/sunlight, thermal etc.
5.2 Height, Scale, Massing
The existing building is of similar scale and massing to the proposed; there is also an extra existing sixth ‘storey’, which incorporates lift overruns,
plant rooms and staircase enclosures. The Ground Floor is raised and the Lower Ground semi-sunken. Some of the existing internal floor to ceiling
heights are as low as 2.3m.
The proposed massing sits well within the silhouette of the existing building, with the highest full storey at Fourth Floor level set at 630mm below
the existing level. With the Ground Floor set at street level, improved floor to ceiling heights can be realised to create high quality dwelling spaces
that meet mayoral standards.
The fourth floor is set back from the main façade line; the recess emphasizes and preserves the existing ‘cornice’ level of Elliott House, enabling the
building to sit comfortably alongside the Georgian neighbours.
5.3. Layout and Uses
The scheme is made up of 32 residential apartments.
Refer to Section 7.0 for the area and accommodation schedule and a more comprehensive breakdown of the scheme uses and areas.
Refer to Section 7.0 for the application drawings.
The apartment layouts are designed around a central core that serves and services all apartments. The core is located in the most efficient position
within the floor plate to allow minimum length link access to all apartments.
The basement levels contain car parking, cycle storage, gym and plant.
External amenity space is provided to all apartments where possible, with almost 70% of the 32 units having external balconies or terraces. All the
family sized, 3-bed apartments have terraces. It has been a design priority to incorporate external space in line with mayoral guidelines.
24-hour concierge services are provided within the Reception Area to the building. The concierge facilities are located in the basement, accessed
directly from the main stair and include a dedicated kitchenette and shower/WC. The concierge duties will include responsibilities for managing the
basement parking, refuse collections, gym facilities, bicycle facilities, security and monitoring the building boundaries and light-wells, deliveries,
arrivals and postage.
29
5.0 THE SCHEME
5.4. Site Access and Circulation
Entrance
The residential entrance is located along Molyneux Street. Street level doors
allow level access into the Reception Area. Molyneux Street is sufficiently
wide with low traffic stress to allow deliveries and taxi drops/collections to
be accommodated. The concierge provision means that there will be the
minimum of congestion during these occasions.
Car Access
Two car lifts provide access to the Basement level parking. The lifts are
accessed off Cato Street, where the existing vehicular access is located. The
car lifts have been inset to allow for a car to be positioned off the carriageway
whilst waiting for a lift. One car lift is designed for access, the other for egress
to minimize these waiting times; the lift doors will be remotely controlled by
the car user. With the waiting spaces and the twin lift installation the design
mitigates any congestion along Cato Street by the 32 users of the basement
parking. Parking space for 32 cars are provided by using Wohr Carlift system.
Wohr Carlift Independent Stacker system
Wohr Carlift stacker system allows double the car spaces
Bike Access
Residential bicycle users have access to the bike storage facilities in the
basement via the car lifts. Access and egress lifts will operate as for the cars.
The lifts are fully enclosed.
Refuse and Recycling Collections
On refuse/recycling collection days, the concierge will organize for the
collections at the requisite collection times. Refuse/recycling will be collected
from the Cato Street car access point, in a similar manner to the existing
arrangement. At that particular time the egress car lift only will be used for
the refuse/recycling, when the bins can be wheeled into the lift car; the lift car
will be dedicated to this function, as a temporary holding station, until the
refuse collection is complete.
Cato Street is a narrow cul-de-sac, with no turning possible at the end of
the street, meaning that the refuse/recycling collection vehicle must reverse
down the street: it is therefore essential that these collections are efficiently
managed to avoid any congestion along the street.

5.0 THE SCHEME
5.5 Character and Appearance
The building composition has evolved over an extended period of time. Initial concept design ideas
were explored with Westminster planning officers, which led to further analysis of the surrounding
character and context of the Conservation Area. Materiality, massing, proportion, urban grain,
character, context and client requirements all fed into the design process leading to the plan and
façade designs; the final design has been refined following consultation with Westminster planning
officers, local residents and resident’s associations.
5.6 Materiality
The principal facing material to the building, across Molyneux Street, Crawford Place and Cato
Street is brick to match the colour and texture of the surrounding buff London stock bricks. The
proposed brick is a Petersen ‘Kolumba’ which is a long, narrow guage brick that has been chosen
to compliment and enhance the streetscape; a combination of 3 mixed colours recreates the subtle
blend of the antique stock brick. The base of the composition at Lower Ground and Ground Floor
Levels to Molyneux Street and Crawford Place is formed of white ‘stucco’ to marry with the base
course of the adjacent terraced houses; the majority of windows are lined in Portland Stone, with the
corner element incorporating brick linings, referencing the Georgian terraced houses and Edwardian
mansion blocks along Molneux Street.
A dark grey mix of Petersen ‘Kolumba’ brick is used at fourth floor level; the material emphasizes the
recess and references the dark grey roof slates of the adjacent buildings.
Context, character and materiality combine along Cato Street, where the proposed Petersen ‘Kolumba’
buff brick mix is used with Portland Stone details to the balconies.
Metalwork
Ornamental and functional metalwork are characteristic of the local area with black painted cast iron
railings used at street level to front light-wells and first floor balconies. At Elliott House a hierarchy of
balustrading is proposed: deep, artisan crafted cast bronze guarding is used to the first floor windows
and fourth floor; at street level, a black painted, cast iron version of the guarding is used, together with
a light decorative grille to the street level entrance doors.
Windows and doors
Minimal dark bronze anodized aluminium frames are proposed for these frames, with emphasis on
slim and elegant proportion. Glazing will be low-iron, double or triple glazed. Bridges across the
