In March 2007, Westminster City Council approved an application for the demolition and redevelopment of 22 Arlington Street to form an extension to The Ritz Hotel, comprising basement, lower ground, ground and eight storeys above, providing 45 rooms/suites and related guest facilities. Throughout 2010, preparatory work for the development took place and, in June 2011, construction work on the project is awaiting final legal consents, for work in phases probably from 2015.
