Bespoke joinery in Marylebone

The Portman Estate Conservation Area was first designated in 1967 to cover the late 18th and early 19th century residential area developed by the Portman Estate, and was extended in 1979 to include parts of Seymour Place and Marylebone Road and in 1990 to include Portman Square; Portman Square was laid out in 1764 and the estate's characteristic 18th century grid extended to Manchester Square (1776) and Baker Street (completed c. 1800).

The Harley Street Conservation Area - first designated in 1968 around Portland Place, Harley Street and Wimpole Street, and extended west to Marylebone High Street in 1981 - covers the Howard de Walden Estate's Marylebone grid, with medical uses of international renown in and around Harley Street and Marylebone High Street as its main shopping thoroughfare; it is bounded by the Regent Street, Mayfair, Portman Estate, Regent's Park and East Marylebone conservation areas.

Westminster's Code of Construction Practice says Level 4 projects, which fall outside the other levels, are expected to follow the Code's principles but have no formal requirement to approve working practices and a communication strategy with the council.

The Marylebone Village Area of Special Archaeological Priority lies largely within the Harley Street Conservation Area around the north end of Marylebone High Street, and the strategic view from Primrose Hill to the Palace of Westminster cuts through the conservation area from Park Crescent to Oxford Street.

Westminster's 2004 Portman Estate mini guide says the planned hierarchy of squares, thoroughfares and side streets is mirrored in the houses, with first and second rate houses on main roads and squares and third rate houses on side streets.
