CP1 Core Policy: Quanta of Development
The Council will:
- seek to meet and exceed the London Plan target for new homes in the borough, which is currently a minimum of 733 net additional dwellings a year; of which a minimum of 35% of residential floorspace on qualifying sites will be affordable;
- seek to provide 47,100sq.m of additional office floorspace to 2028;
- seek to provide 9,700sq.m of retail floorspace to 2023 across the borough;
- seek to provide infrastructure as set out in the infrastructure delivery plan, including through planning contributions.
To help deliver this the Council has, in this document:
- allocated site allocations with a minimum net capacity of 6,630 residential units;
- allocated in Kensal Canalside and Earl’s Court Exhibition Centre a minimum of 20,000sq.m business floorspace to meet identified unmet demand above the existing permissions;
- set out current infrastructure requirements, to be updated as part of the regular infrastructure delivery plan review process.
