William Martin Court, 65 Margery Street
​

On 14th March 2024, Puttinu Cares, a Maltese charity who own the building, registered an application (P2024/0239/FUL) for a "change of use of existing staff hostel (sui generis) to temporary accommodation for Maltese residents receiving medical treatment in the UK and their families (sui generis), alongside provision of single storey roof extension, external and internal alterations; and associated new plant, parking, landscaping and related works". A large number of comments were filed by residents and organisations, including the Society.

The matter was brought before the Planning Committee on 15 July 2024. The Society was represented at the meeting and submitted its reasons for objecting to the project, in particular the fact that the development would harm the living conditions of the residents of the North terrace of Wilmington Square. However, the Planning Committee decided to approve the application.

Hollaway Studio are the architects for this project.

On 11th July 2023, Royal UK Properties III LLC, the owner of the building, registered an application (P2023/2059/FUL) for "demolition of the existing building and erection of a 4-storey office (Use class Eg(i)) building, including associated cycle parking". In response, a large number of comments were filed by residents and organisations, including the Society.

As LBI failed to make a decision within the required time period, the owner of the building, on 15 April 2024 filed a Statement of Appeal on the grounds of non-determination.

An inquiry was held between 10-13 September 2024. The Society was represented at the inquiry and submitted its reasons for objecting to the project. However, the appeal was allowed and planning permission was granted.

Gensler are the architects for this project.
