Leinster Square Ltd will soon be
submitting a planning application
to Westminster City Council for
the transformation of the former
Leinster Inn Hotel at 7 - 12 Leinster
Square into ve townhouses and six
apartments.
The previous owners of the building, Shaftesbury
Hotels, were proposing to turn the old Hotel -
run as a youth hostel - into a boutique hotel. A
public exhibition was held but, prior to a planning
application being heard by Westminster City
Councils Planning Committee, the building was
sold to the current owners, Leinster Square Ltd.
As a practicality Leinster Square Ltd - with
Alchemi Group acting as Development Managers -
will continue with the hotel application.
However, their intention is to seek permission
from Westminster City Council to transform 7
-12 Leinster Square into ve townhouses and six
apartments.
The plan is to reinstate the lower oors into high
quality townhouses and the upper oors into
spacious, single level apartments.
The planning application will be submitted prior
to Christmas and following consultation with local
residents and businesses.

The six existing buildings of 7 - 12 Leinster Square
were originally designed as a unied terrace with

Internally, the building is literally falling apart.
The rear has suffered from decades of ill-judged
extensions and is an eyesore when viewed from
Monmouth Road.
The residential conversion will restore 7 - 12
Leinster Square to its former luster.
