Westminster black bin. Used to illustrate public consultations in Westminster part of Fitzrovia.

Westminster City Council (WCC) and Oxford Street Development Corporation (OSDC) listed 14 and four planning applications respectively in Fitzrovia West during October 2026.

A number of decisions on previous application have been made by WCC and OSDC. An appeal has also been decided by the Planning Inspectorate.

Among the new applications are:

  • Alterations at 8 Mortimer Street (WCC);
  • New balcony to rear at 30-32 Mortimer Street (WCC);
  • Amendments to previous permission at Newlands House 37-40 Berners Street (WCC);
  • Alterations and new roof terrace at Top Floor 70 – 71 Wells Street (WCC);

Planning applications in part of southern Fitzrovia (part of Bloomsbury and West End wards) are now covered by the Oxford Street Development Corporation (OSDC). These applications are listed separately below and are pulled from the OSDC website and are correct at the time we publish them.

Residents in the Westminster part of Fitzrovia can also seek advice on planning applications by contacting the Fitzrovia Neighbourhood Association (email: fna@fitzrovia.org.uk).

      A note about planning applications listed. There are a huge number of planning applications listed each month and it is complicated by the emergence of the Oxford Street Development Corporation (OSDC) as a local planning authority (LPA). We generally only list applications within Fitzrovia East and Fitzrovia West: a roughly one square kilometre area bounded by Oxford Street (even numbers from 2 to 236), Great Portland Street (both sides), Euston Road (odds 215 to 375), Gower Street/Bloomsbury Street (both sides) and New Oxford Street (evens from number 56).
