Planning application
14 - 16 Cockspur Street London SW1Y 5BL
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Details of how waste is to be stored on site and how materials for recycling will be stored separately. You must not operate the consular service hereby approved as part of the continued embassy use (sui generis) until we have approved what you have sent us. You must then provide the waste and recycling storage prior to occupation of the development and thereafter permanently retain the stores according to these details. You must clearly mark them and make them available at all times to everyone using the embassy (sui generis). You must not use the waste and recycling store for any other purpose.
