22. Harley Street Special Policy Area

A: Development in the Harley Street Special Policy Area will support and enhance its continued role as an international centre of medical excellence, complemented primarily by residential use.

B: Proposals for additional floorspace to upgrade or provide new medical facilities, patient care and patient accommodation, will be supported subject to impact on townscape and heritage.

C: Medical facilities that do not fall within Class E (commercial, business and service uses) as a result of being attached to the residence of the consultant or practitioner, will be protected, unless:

  • There is no reasonable prospect of its continued use for medical use or complementary facilities, as evidenced by vacancy and appropriate marketing for a period of at least 12 months; and
  • The proposal is for high quality residential development.
