New Pavillion for Cadogan Square Gardens


Planning Consent was given for a new pavilion to give shelter in the shared gardens to Cadogan Square. The garden is owned and managed by Cadogan Estates and used by the residents of the square. The garden and square were originally laid out following the Cadogan and Hans Place Improvements Act of 1874 on the site of Henry Holland’s Pavilion and the field behind. Most of the present red-brick buildings that surround the square were constructed between 1877 and 1888.

The design of the pavillion was chosen by the client. David Le Lay Architects prepared the planning application including the landscapeing design as well as advising on the choice of materials and colours. A fully illustrated submission was made allowing local residents to comment on all aspects of the proposal.
