FRA1 EARL’S COURT AND WEST KENSINGTON OPPORTUNITY AREA
The Council will support the phased mixed use residential led redevelopment of the Earl’s Court and West Kensington Opportunity Area. Development proposals should:
- provide a mix of land uses, including housing, employment, hotels, leisure and associated facilities, retail and cultural facilities. Cultural facilities should include a major arts, leisure or entertainment activity;
- provide adequate social, physical, environmental and transport infrastructure to support the needs of the area as a whole;
- provide for improvement to the West Kensington, Gibbs Green and Registered Provider estates, including the potential for renewal of and additions to all or parts of the estates, as part of the comprehensive approach to the regeneration of the Opportunity Area;
- provide green corridors and public open spaces including the provision of a centrally located local park of at least 2 hectares; and
- recognise the substantial scope offered by the scale and location of the Opportunity Area to create a new sense of place and range of densities. There may be scope for tall buildings, however any tall buildings would need to be justified by a full urban design analysis.
