®Planning appeal decision
10 Golborne Road, London, W10 5PE
Planning appeal 3345077 at 10 Golborne Road, London, W10 5PE (Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea) was allowed on 5 November 2024 by Inspector Wyborn D, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the proposed extended opening hours for the commercial uses at the site, including private members' club, restaurant and drinking establishment, would create an unacceptable impact in noise and other disturbance which would materially harm the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties.
Erection of rear second floor extension and mansard roof extension at third floor level with roof terrace; alterations to ground level entrance openings and window positions in association with change of use from public house to private members' club (sui generis) at basement level; restaurant at ground and part first floor and single residential unit at part first, second and third floor levels; variation of condition 10 to extend operating hours

- Whether the proposed extended opening hours for the commercial uses at the site, including private members' club, restaurant and drinking establishment, would create an unacceptable impact in noise and other disturbance which would materially harm the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties
What decided it
The combination of evidence showing the premises are well-managed and well-insulated, the Licensing Sub-Committee's decision to grant extended hours, and the acceptable impacts during the previous trial period, balanced against the need for a temporary 12-month trial to test the proposed extended hours in practice before any permanent permission.
