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.
In a statement, daa said the approval, issued within the statutory 18-week timeframe, provides "much-needed clarity and certainty" within the expected period for such determinations. The airport operator also described the development as a key investment in community facilities and engagement.
