Policy information sourced from the Westminster City Plan
23. Savile Row Special Policy Area
- Development in the Savile Row Special Policy Area (SPA) will complement and enhance its continued role as an international centre of excellence for bespoke tailoring, supported by complementary Class E (commercial, business and service uses) floorspace that respects townscape and heritage value
- New bespoke tailoring uses will be supported throughout the SPA, particularly at lower floor levels. Proposals for other uses that would result in the net loss of tailoring floorspace from the SPA will be resisted, unless this relates to floorspace benefiting from temporary consent for tailoring purposes.
- Where new Class E (commercial, business and service uses) development incorporates retail floorspace, provision of a size, type and format that complements the unique character and function of the SPA is encouraged. Redevelopment proposals that would result in the replacement of multiple individual stores with large format retail will be resisted.
