The Approved Plans
In November 2021 the proposals to redevelop the two sites to provide new office space were approved by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC).
The buildings at 40 Pelham Street have been vacant for over 11 years and the lease expired for 80 Pelham Street in September 2023.
The approved plans will revitalise both sites to bring them back into use and greatly improve their visual appearance.
40 Pelham Street:
- Retain and upgrade the eastern half of the existing building and develop a new west building to create two modern, two storey office buildings.
- Preserve the traditional façade along Pelham Street and keep the London Plane tree.
- Open up and green the site, with a new publicly accessible garden courtyard between the two buildings.
- Deliver a sustainable and car-free development.

80 Pelham Street:
- Demolish the existing, dilapidated building and replace it with a new one of high architectural quality that is fit for modern office use.
- Widen the pavement in front of the building to create more generous public realm and improve the pedestrian experience on Pelham Street.
- Retain a gym use in the development.
- Create a car-free site and sustainable building targeting first-class green credentials.
