"The management company representing the residents of Chesterfield House, the mansion block directly adjacent to Leconfield House, said: We strongly object to this proposal on behalf of Chesterfield House management and several hundreds of residents on the grounds of the noise and disturbance that would be caused."
"A resident added: This proposal is contrary to the neighbourhood plan of protecting residential amenity across Mayfair from the negative impacts of new commercial or entertainment uses."
"Others raised fears the building was set to become a nightclub masquerading as an office."
"The Leconfield management argued that late serving hours are needed for the club's success."
The Leconfield, a private members' club in Mayfair, has received approval despite significant local opposition. The club, promoted by Liz Truss, features a high joining fee and aims to attract 'pro-growth leaders'. Compromises made to address concerns included reduced alcohol serving hours and limited access to the roof terrace. Neighbors expressed fears about noise and potential late-night disturbances, arguing the club could disrupt the peaceful residential area. The management contends that extended hours are essential for the club's success.
