Clarendon Road forms the western boundary of the Ladbroke Conservation Area and is one of the area’s longest streets. It runs from Holland Park Avenue in the south to Dulford Street in the north (originally, it extended as far as Lancaster Road). Two sections are excluded from the conservation area: Nos. 1–11 at the south-west end (where the original mid-19th-century houses were replaced by modern dwellings built in the 1960s), and the northern end of the street, north of No. 99 on the western side and north of Blenheim Crescent on the eastern side (in both cases, the original 19th-century buildings have largely been replaced).
The area was largely open countryside when Clarendon Road was created during the second great wave of development on the Ladbroke estate in the 1840s. The estate was still owned at that time by the Ladbroke family, in the person of James Weller Ladbroke. This was a period when the population of London was growing rapidly, and developers saw rich profits to be made by providing housing for the expanding population.
James Weller Ladbroke had detailed plans drawn up for the western part of the Ladbroke estate, including Clarendon Road, in 1843 and 1846. However, he did not undertake the development himself. Instead, he signed agreements or building leases with builders or speculators, under which they undertook to build a certain number of houses on the plot of land covered by the agreement. Once the houses were built, Ladbroke would then grant either the builder or a person nominated by him (usually the individual who had financed the construction) 99-year leases for the houses. Ladbroke derived his profit from the ground rents, which were typically about £10 per annum, while the developers gained their profit by letting the houses, which commanded annual rents of £50–60.
John Rocques’s London 10 Miles Round Map, 1746
The Ladbroke estate: The 1840s
Many of those involved in developing Clarendon Road came to financial grief. In the years following the construction of these now desirable villas, the long leaseholds (and sometimes also the freeholds) of individual houses were often bought, sold, and mortgaged to secure loans. As a result, the leaseholds quite often ended up in the hands of wealthy spinsters and others living far from the area, for whom they represented reliable investment assets paying a regular return in the form of rental income. Presumably, the tenants who actually occupied the properties remained relatively unaffected by all these changes, as long as they continued to pay their rents.
Development started from the south, and almost all the houses on the street between Holland Park Avenue and Clarendon Cross were completed during a period of frenzied activity between 1840 and 1846, under the direct auspices of James Weller Ladbroke. The houses were good-quality villas, often detached or semi-detached with generous space between them – although most of the gaps between the houses have now been filled by extensions built in the last 50 years. These properties along the southern end of the street are now some of the most desirable houses in the area.
Most of the houses were put up as speculative ventures, often with finance borrowed from wealthy property speculators.
Sometimes Weller Ladbroke himself lent the builders the money to finance the construction. There was a bewildering number of speculators, financiers, architects, and builders involved, including many of the Ladbroke area’s best-known players. The Survey of London has made a brave attempt to clarify the relationships between these various parties, but for many of the houses, the details of which parties were responsible for the finance, design, and construction remain obscure. Generally, however, in the case of Roy and Reynolds, who were partners on many of the Clarendon Road houses, it was Reynolds who organised the building of the roads, sewers, and houses, while Roy raised the necessary capital.
The road seems, in the 19th century, to have been rather more of a through route than it is today. In 1892, Cardinal Manning’s funeral cortège processed along Clarendon Road on its way to Kensal Green Cemetery (The Times). As well as the Castle on the corner of Holland Park Avenue, there were three other pubs or inns to take advantage of passing traffic: the Clarendon Hotel at No. 85, the Britannia at No. 123a, and the Talbot Arms on the other side of the road beyond Cornwall Crescent.
As the road formed the western boundary of the Ladbroke family’s estate, it has few connecting links with the parallel Portland Road to the west, on the Norland estate. Several roads run from the east into Clarendon Road from other parts of the Ladbroke estate, most deliberately designed to form vistas, clearly demonstrating the road’s relationship with the rest of the Ladbroke estate. However, the houses on the western side form almost a wall separating the estate from the Norland area, and there are no carefully designed vistas through to the west, creating, in the words of the Borough’s Conservation Area Proposal Statement for the Ladbroke estate, an effect ‘of subtle enclosure; the eye is unaware of adjacent contrasting areas “outside”.
Horse-drawn buses used to run up Clarendon Road, and the following is an extract from a report in The Times of 1886 about an altercation between two bus drivers, James Creswick and Robert Kershaw, driving buses for rival bus companies. In the 20th century, like much of the rest of the area, Clarendon Road went downhill, and many of the houses were turned into flats and lodgings, only to become smart again in the last third of the century. The street was also badly affected during the Blitz. Several houses were damaged by bombs and were later demolished and replaced, or else repaired on the cheap, with few or none of the original decorative features being restored.

Listed Status
While several properties on Clarendon Road are designated as Grade II listed buildings, such as numbers 17, 19, 21, and 23-29, number 30 does not ahave the National Heritage List for England.
Conservation Area
Clarendon Road is situated within the Ladbroke Estate Conservation Area. The Ladbroke Conservation Area was designated in 1969, one of the Royal Borough’s earliest designations. It was developed speculatively from south to north by a number of different architects, developers and builders between the 1820s and the mid 1870s. Early plans were drawn up by Thomas Allason; his ideas for a circus and communal gardens were progressed by other architects who added the crescents and placed the gardens behind the houses. Architects who worked on the estate included James Thomson, Thomas Allom, William Reynolds and Thomas Pocock. In the Ladbroke area many terraces were designed to follow the contours of the hill so that the parapets (at roof level) remained continuous and unbroken. The terraces are either half or fully stuccoed with elaborate detailing; and pairs or trios of villas are of key special interest to the area. The setting of these houses is created by the gardens around them and the space in between them. A very special feature of the Ladbroke estate is the terrace ends, which were often designed to have the appearance of a symmetrical detached house. A large part of the Ladbroke Conservation Area is covered by an archaeological priority area. This is due to evidence of a Roman cemetery (including sarcophagi and burials) being discovered around Lansdowne Crescent and Ladbroke Grove when the area was developed in the nineteenth century.

Given that the property and No. 32 form a pair, it is recommended to retain some level of symmetry where possible. However, acknowledging the existing differences, the following options are suggested for the rear extension:
Match No. 32
Propose a half-width lower ground floor extension to the same depth as No. 32, with a terrace or garden link above. Modify the rear elevation to include bi-fold doors similar to No. 32.
Infill Below Existing Balcony
Use the existing rear balcony as justification to infill below, while maintaining the balcony above.This would allow for a full-width extension but with less depth. Fenestration may need to be broken up rather than spanning the full elevation
Basement Potential
A basement may be a viable option, subject to standard parameters and constraints. Many properties have leveraged level differences to create basements under the garden, with glazing facing the house and a patio acting as a lightwell.
Outbuilding Opportunity
An outbuilding could potentially be achieved under Permitted Development (PD) rights, though covenants associated with the communal garden square may apply. The Article 4 Directions do not restrict outbuildings under Class E but focus on extensions under Class A. Precedents, such as No. 68 Clarendon Road, suggest this is achievable from a planning perspective.

PROCESS
OUR APPROACH
OUR ROLE
DESIGN DETAIL DELIVER
The work of Johanna Molineus Architects reflects a passion for craftsmanship and timeless elegance; focusing on design with atmosphere, clean lines and exceptional detailing. From concept to construction we work with finely tuned care and attention.
Johanna Molineus Architects is renowned for successfully navigating the many competing demands of renovating and conserving heritage and listed buildings in the UK.
From the traditional to the trend-setting, our designers create interiors that complement the architectural environment while fulfilling the practical needs of the space.
Johanna Molineus Architects Ltd (JMA) will be the design lead for the Client on all architecture aspects and together with Webster Hart will coordinate the consultants throughout the Pre-Construction phase of the project. All consultants are employed directly by the client and work closely with JMA/WH throughout.
In addition to our services, we envisage that the consultant team will include but not be limited to the following:
•Project Manager
•Contract Administrator
•Cost Consultant/Quantity Surveyor
•Landscape Architect
•Structural Engineer
•Mechanical & Electrical Engineer
•Approved Building Inspector
•Party Wall Surveyor
•Planning Consultant
• VAT Consultant
•Acoustic Test (Comfort Cooling / ASHP)
•Arboriculturist
•Audio Visual
•Lighting Designer
JMA will be responsible for coordinating the design team together with Webster Hart and advising the client on the appointment of the consultants, for which we will put forward a number of options for each role for discussion with the client.
Together with WH, JMA will lead the process from the initial survey, throughout the design, tender, and construction phase through to completion and ultimately occupation of the house working in close collaboration with you and the rest of the team.
JMA’s team will be overseen by a Project Director, in addition to the input of Johanna Molineus, Creative Director of JMA. Our duties include monitoring the contractor throughout the construction process for quality, progress and ensuring the efficient management of the design implementation. We are on site at regular intervals for this and are in constant contact with all parties.
Throughout the design and construction phases of the project we will provide monthly progress updates to you (the Client), setting out our regular design work and tasks, highlighting our progress, together with raising any issues and Client decisions that need to be made or explored.
Once the works are complete, we will return to site after the defects period (together with the Contract Administrator), which occurs 12 months after the date of Practical Completion to ensure that any defects, which appear may have appeared, are rectified.
JMA’s scope of work will include, but not be limited to:
General Scope of Work
Assisting the client/project manager on the appointment of the specialist consultants required
Assisting the client/project manager and QS with the programme, budget and procurement strategy
Developing the exterior architectural proposals to re-model the rear facade together with re-working the internal layout configuration of both the main house to suit your requirements.
•Co-ordinating the Architectural Design proposals with structural elements, services and overall consultant team for the purposes of tender and construction.
•Preparing the technical design drawings, specifications and construction information for the Interior Fit Out works.
•Managing and coordinating all consultants together with the project manager.
Attending design team meetings and fortnightly formal meetings during the construction phase.
Assisting with the tender, procurement and selection process including assisting on the Value Engineering process.
PROJECT ROLE CONTINUED ARCHITECTURAL SCOPE OF WORK
PROJECT ROLE
• Appointment of JMA, confirming our role and extent of service.
• Develop the project brief and scope of work in conjunction with the client and project manager.
DESIGN STAGES
CONCEPT DESIGN / COST REVIEW STUDY
• We will work closely with you to develop the Concept Design Proposals. The design work will focus on developing options to re-configure the internal layouts to maximise space and to suit your brief.
• In conjunction with this, we will develop proposals to ensure an improved internal layout and increasing natural light to the lower ground floor.
• During this phase of work we will also consider various options reworking the main staircase throughout the house and reviewing the lower ground floor footprint (extension/potential small garden basement)
• During this stage we will also assemble the Project Team together with the project manager including the key consultants.
• Submit a request for pre-planning application advice to RBKC. It is assumed this is a level 3 request for advice which includes a meeting
• Once we have firmed up the internal layouts we will work closely with the Project Manager and Quantity Surveyor to develop the Cost Plan based on the agreed proposals to test the budget.
• At this stage we can also review options to enhance or reduce particular areas of the design depending on the budget and cost advice from the QS. This will allow you to focus on which areas of the build should be constructed to a higher specification or not.
Using the designs agreed with you during Stage 2 Concept Design / Cost Review and following the receipt of pre-planning advice, we will refine and develop the designs in further detail. We will coordinate and integrate the initial structural scheme and mechanical and electrical services strategy into the designs in preparation for submitting a planning application to RBKC.
The planning process involves a step by step approach, carefully considering the aspects which are most important to you. We will advise you during the design phase on elements which may carry a planning risk and a planning consultant will be engaged to provide planning advice and oversee the submission of the planning application. Otherwise, we will lead the planning process. We recommend ADL planning to act as planning consultants whom we haved worked successfully with on a number of projects in RBKC. Once submitted, there is an 8 week determination period for the application by the council.
Should there be any aspects of the design which are unacceptable at Pre-Planning Application stage, we may seek to remove these from the full planning application. Some of these items may simply never be possible with RBKC, or some of them may be able to be dealt with separately at appeal or with further applications and discussions. Depending on the time and complexity of these items, we will need to agree a strategy and seek the assistance of a planning consultant or planning lawyer.
Neighbour consultation should take place prior to the submission of the planning application, which will be led by JMA. We will also consult the Ladbroke Association, the local residents association who we have dealt with in the past on other projects.
Discharge of Conditions
Once Planning Approval for the Scheme has been received, this is accompanied by a set of conditions which must be complied with. Some of these conditions are required to be discharged prior to the commencement of the works, whilst some are to be discharged during the course of the works or prior to occupation, with the remainder of the conditions ongoing compliance requirements.
Whilst most of these conditions are anticipated within our full planning submission, the council still impose a set of pre-commencement conditions which can only be discharge following planning approval. The approval period takes 8 weeks, in addition to the time required to prepare the information requested.
DESIGN STAGES
Following a successful determination of the planning application we will progress the Technical Design work, working closely alongside yourself and the project team consultants.
During this stage we will produce a detailed package of information sufficient to submit for tender and pricing by a selected list of ‘preferred’ contractors. This can either be undertaken as part of a traditional ‘single stage’ tender process or a ‘two stage’ tender which involves tendering the shell and core and structural work separately from the interior fit out. We have discussed these options in the procurement strategy. The Technical Design will include the production of the following details drawings and specifications for the purposes of tender and construction:

During the construction phase we will undertake Construction Monitoring through to the completion of the works in conjunction with working with a contract administrator.
This includes but is not limited to:
• Bi-weekly site visits to inspect the works and dealing with queries from site.
• Running design team site meetings to address relevant issues with the consultant team.
• Undertaking regular photo records of site progress and key milestones.
• Reviewing selection of subcontractors and contractor submittals / technical specs.
• Checking that the works are being built in accordance with the designs
• Providing monthly client updates which highlight progress, variations, any issues and client required decisions
DESIGN STAGES
The construction stage can be carried out in one or two phases, depending on your requirements and timescales. We will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each procurement strategy in more detail with you, however each are briefly described below:
A. Construction over Single Phase:
Selecting one Contractor to carry out all work (shell and core and fit out)
The entire design and all information are to be produced by all parties prior to the contractor’s start on site. This can be done in two ways: by tendering it which a minimum of three contractors will take part or a single contractor can be chosen directly. This process allows additional time to develop the design in full detail, but generally realises a later start onsite and extended project timeline.
It does give increased cost certainty prior to commencing any works onsite.
B. Construction over Two Phases:
Selecting a contractor to carry out the shell and core and structural work followed by a separate contractor to carry out the fit out stage.
This option allows an earlier start onsite for the basement and structural stage, whilst drawings and documentation for the fit out are produced. This option requires greater attention, quick decision making and most importantly a layout/design agreed at an early stage. Otherwise design changes could easily and directly affect the programme.
As for the single phase procurement strategy, a contractor can be appointed by tender or directly.
On completion of the refurbishment works we will carry out detailed inspections of the works to check quality and that the building is fit for occupation and handover to you. During this period we will:
• Snag the house or defects
• Ensure that the contractor has tested all the new systems and completed the handover pack together with a set o as-built drawings
• Liaise with the Interior Designer to ensure their installation is co-ordinated with the final stages of the build.
PRINCIPAL DESIGNER (BUILDING REGULATIONS AND CDM)
When appointed as a principal designer on a project, Johanna Molineus Architects ensures the project team have the skills, knowledge and experience to fulfil their duties under the CDM and Dutyholder Regulations.
All Johanna Molineus Architects, all architects are registered and regulated by the Architects Registration Board (ARB). The project architect will have many years of post-qualification experience, a significant amount of which will involve work on similar projects involving the refurbishment, adaption and extension of existing residential buildings. Completed reference projects are included in the Selected Projects section of the presentation and include
• 22 St James Gardens
• 9-11 Roland Gardens
• 42 St Petersburg Place
• 10 North Hill
• 89 Portland Road
The practice is also currently on-site with large residential refurbishment schemes on Upper Phillimore Gardens and St James Gardens
The project architect will also be a member of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). The ARB and RIBA require architects to undertake Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and maintain records with regards to this. Both the ARB and RIBA CPD requirements include Building Safety and Building Regulations as mandatory areas for annual CPD. All practice architects have undertaken multiple CPDs relating to the updated building regulations and Fire Safety Act 2021 as well as fulfilling their obligations with relevant CPDs relating to the wider design considerations of buildings of this type.
PRINCIPAL DESIGNER
PRINCIPAL DESIGNER CONTINUED
On larger, more complicated projects, we also engage a principal designer advisor to assist in ensuring our role as principal designer is met. Often, this appointment can be widened to include advice for the client.
One of the client duties under the regulations is to take all reasonable steps to ensure any designers or contractors appointed are competent to carry out the work for which they are appointed. Key staff members can provide competency statements demonstrating their skills, training, experience as well as setting out the Practice processes and procedures to ensure this.

Johanna Molineus and her team successfully won a competition to refit a former bank into a commercial gallery. The clients brief was to create a usable gallery space without loosing the heritage. JMA worked very closely with artisans to restore the original materials and bring the space back to life.
