MARYLEBONE HOUSE Virtual Exhibition Welcome to the first virtual exhibition for the emerging ideas for the proposed extensive refurbishment of Marylebone House, 129 -137 Marylebone Road, NW1. Following meetings with a number of our neighbours in recent weeks, this first stage of consultation is taking place ‘at-a-distance’ in light of government guidelines around social distancing. Using a range of different feedback tools, we are committed to engaging widely and making sure everyone has an opportunity to have their say in a way that suits them. You can provide your feedback on the information set out in these boards by clicking on the ‘Feedback Form’ on the ‘Have Your Say’ section on our website. You can also provide your feedback via post. Alternatively, if you would like to arrange a virtual presentation with a member of the project INTRODUCTION team, please contact us at marylebonehouse@kandaconsulting.co.uk We will then take the time to reflect upon the feedback prior to sharing more detailed proposals in late summer and submitting a planning application to Westminster City Council.

THE SITE TODAY MARYLEBONE HOUSE The site today The existing buildings are tired, at the end of their commercial life and in urgent need of investment. The buildings suffer from low levels of natural light, poor energy performance and there is a servicing road through the site which is unusable. Existing building - Wyndham Street Existing building- Marylebone House Previous planning application The previous owner submitted a planning application to redevelop the site. As part of Beltane’s commitment to working closely with the local community and develop sensitive plans for the future of the site, this application has now been withdrawn from planning.

OUR EARLY THINKING MARYLEBONE HOUSE Our early thoughts include: Following the withdrawal of the previous application, we wish to bring forward new proposals that will be sensitive to the surrounding area.

Conservation Area and in key views. pre-application discussions with Westminster City Council. As part of our commitment to working closely with the local community to develop sensitive plans, we have withdrawn this application. Compared to this application, our early thinking for the site is to undertake a more sustainable less intrusive development by retaining the majority of the existing Marylebone House and structure of the 1960s extension. Demolishing the redundant car Incorporating new consolidated Improving the sustainability of the park to the south of the site and servicing.

Knox Street and Wyndham Street
SCALE MARYLEBONE HOUSE We recognise and understand that the application submitted by the previous owner of the site was contentious. By retaining the existing 1960s structure, nearly all areas of our proposals would be significantly smaller than the previous application. KEY By adding two set-back storeys to the 1960s building, we are keen to develop a more successful transition across the site as it steps down towards the residential properties of Knox Street, Wyndham Street and the Portman Estate Conservation Area. We Marylebone House - View 03 believe this outcome will be improved Existing Massing further by the introduction of new accommodation to replace the former car park, creating a development of a more human scale and serving as a buffer to the existing neighbouring Currently Proposed Massing – Marylebone Road homes. In terms of the 1930s building, our idea is for an extension to the roof to accommodate additional plant equipment (see blue outline).

The existing cycle store is currently located underneath the southern servicing block adjacent to the refuse store and ad hoc car park.
