Kensington and Chelsea Council is reviewing its licensing policy with an equalities impact assessment, while Westminster proceeds with a redevelopment.

Councils are currently reviewing equalities impact assessments, which formally assess the potential impacts of policies or projects on individuals with protected characteristics. Kensington and Chelsea Council's Leadership Team reviewed an Equalities Impact Assessment in November 2025 as part of its Statement of Licensing Policy (2026-2031) review, considering public feedback and key revisions.

Separately, Westminster City Council's Cabinet approved advertising requirements for the Cavendish Square Gardens redevelopment in October 2025. An equalities impact assessment was produced for this project, which aims to enhance community health and wellbeing through new medical facilities and recreation.
