The scheme for St William, a Berkeley company, is the fourth phase of the AJ100 practice\u2019s King\u2019s Road Park masterplan. Consent was recently handed down by the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham for development through delegated powers.<\/p>\n
The Fosters scheme will see the eastern part of the site, a former gasworks located just south of Chelsea Football Club\u2019s home stadium at Stamford Bridge, redeveloped.<\/p>\n
The plans feature a seven-storey podium building, a 28-storey tower and a 38-storey tower, together providing 357 private homes and amenities. In addition, nearly two acres of new parkland and public open space will be created.<\/p>\n
The consented design includes one less tower than outline proposals first drawn up by Fosters for the King\u2019s Road Park masterplan with single staircases, which were approved in February 2019 before new fire safety regulations were introduced. The previous vision also featured smaller floorplates.<\/p>\n
Fosters said the updated design \u2018reduces the development\u2019s embodied carbon\u2019 compared with the outline planning application, while meeting new fire safety requirements. It also increases daylight entering the new park by 59 per cent.<\/p>\n
Giles Robinson, senior partner at Foster + Partners, said: \u2018The scheme will provide the highest-quality homes that overlook one of London\u2019s most spectacular new public parks.<\/p>\n
\u2018Our design complements the historic urban surroundings and enhances connections with nature by significantly increasing the amount of green space at the base of the towers and extending the experience of the park onto the podium\u2019s rooftop.\u2019<\/p>\n
The wider King\u2019s Road Park masterplan proposes 1,800 new homes, both private and affordable, on the site of the former gasworks off Imperial Road. The scheme also includes a new park and a restored Grade II*-listed gasholder.<\/span><\/p>\n Apt is masterplanner of the wider Kings Road Park scheme. A hybrid application including outline plans was approved in 2019.<\/p>\n Phase 1, including 345 homes, was designed by EPR Architects and is nearing completion.<\/p>\n The timeline for completion of the works is unknown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The scheme for St William, a Berkeley company, is the fourth phase of the AJ100 practice\u2019s King\u2019s Road Park masterplan.
