Award of Characterisation Study for Housing Development in Kensington and Chelsea

About

capitalEsourcing awarded a contract to Ove Arup & Partners Limited for an evidence-based study examining the character of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and the potential for development to meet housing needs and wider London requirements.

The study investigates opportunities for intensification across small and larger sites, addressing the pressing need for significantly more homes, particularly affordable homes, in the context of the new Local Plan, the new London Plan, and the Government's housing delivery test.

The Borough is London's smallest at approximately 4.8 square miles but is intensively built up, much of which comprises an outstanding Victorian townscape.

The contract value is £37,500.
