A major redevelopment which will see more than 2,500 homes built on a former gasworks site in west London has been approved. Kensal Canalside Opportunity Area will see 500 classed as affordable with 342 at social rent and 158 at an intermediate rate. Although below Kensington and Chelsea Council's 35.7% target, officers said it was the maximum viable level.
A decision on the 1 billion scheme was expected from the City of London Corporation by the end of this year though this has been pushed back into 2026 after further details were added to the application. A spokesperson for Network Rail said they remain committed to our proposals and the additional detail submitted will be available to view on the Planning Register.
