Project Flourish - Proposal Summary
In the coming weeks, our plans for Project Flourish will be decided by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea’s Planning Committee.
Before that happens, we’re delighted to share with you our new ‘Proposal Summary’ booklet, which we’ve put together to help explain the many benefits the plans could deliver for the local area, including:
Much-needed new homes, including at least 500 new affordable homes – helping the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea meet its housing targets
A brand new, modern Sainsbury’s store, with café and of all of their award-winning food and non-food products
A new high street with local shops and places to work and visit
Attractive public areas and landscaped green spaces, including new parks, play areas and a restored canal basin
An enhanced, safer road junction at Ladbroke Grove, as well as new and improved bus stops
Better site-wide connectivity, including new footpaths and cycle routes
A new community hub for everyone to enjoy, with spaces for new businesses, charities, and community groups to flourish.
The booklet also includes some background on the site, the rationale behind our proposals and an overview of our public consultation with the local community, which we have been doing since 2021.
