Our Updated Proposals

Following the first round of consultation in April, we have carefully reviewed feedback received are and now in a position to showcase more developed proposals and designs at our upcoming public exhibition events.
The exhibition boards will be uploaded to our website after the event.
Updated Orchard Square Proposed View

Since outline planning permission was granted for the Chelsea Barracks Masterplan in 2012, residential market conditions have changed significantly.

For the masterplan to progress, it is critical that we adapt our plans for the next phase of the development (Phase 5) to respond to this changing context.

In reviewing our proposal, we continue to be guided by several key principles:

Responding to changing market conditions to progress the masterplan

Optimising housing delivery and meeting growing need in Westminster

Preserving neighbouring amenity

Upholding the design codes of the consented scheme

Initial massing proposal shared at previous consultation
Updated massing proposal
View from Orchard Square

Key design updates

The proposals follow the philosophy of the original approved masterplan, providing a contextual development with buildings addressing streets and squares.
Since the previous consultation, several minor design changes have been made. Building 14 has reverted to a rectilinear form consistent with the original masterplan to rationalise internal layouts.
A darker brick has been introduced to reflect the changing character of development from west to east across the Chelsea Barracks masterplan site, in line with the Design Code and the Belgravia Neighbourhood Design Code.
The revised proposals respond to current housing policy, reflect new safety and regulatory standards introduced since the original approval, and support the accelerated delivery of Phase 5. The proposals are being scrutinised closely against BRE guidance to ensure thatthe amenity of neighbouring residents is protected.
