 All of the proposals will now be submitted to planning for approval later this year where residents will be able to formally comment.

Overview

The Council is delivering 600 new homes including a minimum of 300 social rent homes, alongside open market homes to rent and other community and employment facilities as part of its New Homes Delivery Programme (NHDP).

We have consulted on the first four sites in Phase 1 of our NHDP and they have now received planning permission. These four sites – Acklam Road, 175-177 Kensal Road, 15-17 Hewer Street and 54 St Helens Gardens - will deliver 97 new homes. Work has now started on both Kensal Road and Hewer Street sites.

Edenham

The NHDP has identified the site adjacent to Trellick Tower as a potential area to help deliver further new homes for the borough. This site, currently called Edenham, forms part of Phase 2 of the NHDP.

Why your views matter

Third round of consultation

Since the last round of consultation we have been working with the local community and other stakeholders to better understand their concerns and to develop a scheme that seeks to balance their views along with the pressing need for new homes in the borough.

We have:

  • Reassessed the proposed scheme resulting in a reduction from 168 to 110 homes. We have also reduced the height of the two previously tallest parts of the scheme.
  • Retained the large section of the graffiti wall near “the beach” after hearing from The Writers that this was important to them.
  • Considered different locations for a re-provided ball court. Previously we intended to integrate a ball area within the central landscaped area.

We are now holding an additional round of consultation to share the updated plans and give residents more time to comment.

You can attend one of three consultation events:
