Listed Building Consent
Kensington and Chelsea Council recently granted listed building consent for repairs to Notting Hill Gate Library steps, while Wandsworth Council is considering a new attraction at Battersea Power Station.
Kensington and Chelsea Council's Planning Applications Committee granted listed building consent in June 2026 for the repair of historic steps at Notting Hill Gate Library. The steps, which had been covered by temporary boarding for many years, were found to be in a dilapidated and dangerous condition, necessitating significant reconstruction to preserve the building's special architectural and historic interest.
Separately, Wandsworth Council is considering a proposal for listed building consent for a new 'Chimney Lift Experience' at Battersea Power Station. Submitted in March 2026, the proposal involves the erection of structures, freestanding furniture, and an illuminated sign within Turbine Hall A of the Grade II* listed building, aiming to create a 1930s or 1920s office setting.
