"Dent Coad said the plans "will not tackle severe housing deprivation in our poorest wards.""
"A spokesperson for Ballymore said the works, which include 500 affordable homes as well as a new high street, would turn the site into "a thriving place full of character" that would not only support the development's residents but thousands in the wider community."
"Dent Coad told the Local Democracy Reporting Service that whilst the development "promised big," there would "be little of community benefit for the most multi-deprived ward in London.""
Plans would build more than 2,500 homes on a former gasworks site at the northern end of Ladbroke Grove in west London. Kensington and Chelsea councillors approved the scheme last year, but final consent rests with the London mayor who can approve, refuse, or call the application in for further review. Objections exceed 1,800 and cite insufficient affordable housing, harm to a nearby Grade I-listed cemetery, limited transport links, and potential contamination from the disused gasworks. The proposal includes 500 affordable homes (342 social rent, 158 intermediate), a new high street, and mixed support totaling 1,673 letters.
