PDP London is set to get the green light for proposals to redevelop a prominent corner site in Chelsea, adding extra storeys to a Sloane Street building and replacing a neighbouring structure completely.

The practice’s plans for client Cadogan Estates would add two storeys on to 30-33 Sloane Street, which is a stone’s throw from department store Harrods. Built in 1924, the structure is four storeys tall and is used for retail on the lowest two levels and office use above. The enlarged building would be for retail, office and restaurant use.

PDP’s scheme would replace the current four-storey “Tudorbethan” building at 2 Hans Crescent with a bulkier five-storey structure for commercial, business and service uses. There would also be a roof terrace. The current structure and its neighbour No.4 date back to 1890.
