Summary of Proposals
After undertaking a series of pre application meetings with the Council over the past 24 months and meeting with a number of community members / groups URW are in the process of updating the design proposals which were submitted to LBHF in April 2021 for the Outline Application. We have taken on board the feedback received on building heights and as such will be submitting a series of updated planning reports for the new design and building heights to LBHF in early 2022. Our commitment to community benefit from the Application in April 2021 remains and we remain committed to ensuring that the Westfield London Residential Phase 2 site is a place for everyone in the community to enjoy.
A summary of the revised proposals which are being delivered ahead of submission to LBHF are as follows:
- 1,700 new homes including genuinely affordable homes
- New landmark and outstanding architecture
- A new cultural and creative hub called ‘The Makery’
- New 1.4 acre public courtyard within the heart of the scheme, accessed by a feature staircase from The Makery or at street level from Bronze Walk or Silver Street
- New pedestrian connections throughout the site, including through the restored railway arches
- Secure cycle spaces for residents and the public
We also see the provision of affordable housing as an integral part of our development. URW is currently undertaking detailed discussions regarding the level of affordable housing, S106 and CIL contributions to be provided as part of the new scheme. These discussions are ongoing. This is not uncommon for a project of this scale and complexity. However, the proposal will be provide additional affordable homes in addition to those consented under the existing permission, and the 89 genuinely affordable homes delivered at Newall Court.
