What Article 4 removes near Marylebone: Multiple Article 4 Directions — office-to-residential restrictions, HMO conversions, retail to residential in shopping zones. Before pricing a mansard roof extension we check whether the W1U address is inside the mapped area, because Westminster City Council draws the Marylebone boundary street by street rather than across the whole of Marylebone.

Marylebone below-ground policy: Westminster basement policy restricts to single-storey, typically under 50% of rear garden footprint; lightwells and rooflights strictly controlled in conservation areas. Any mansard roof extension in Marylebone that goes below existing foundations triggers two months notice under section 6 of the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, and Westminster City Council will want the W1U ground and groundwater position set out.

Marylebone housing stock: Grand Georgian and Regency terraces in Belgravia and Pimlico; Victorian and Edwardian mansion blocks; heritage-rich townhouses throughout; very high listed building density.
