Ebury Bridge Estate Phase 1

About the event

• The biggest delivery of new affordable homes in South Westminster in over 50 years
• The creation around 780 homes, including 370 council homes for social rent, 21 intermediate ownership homes and 389 homes for sale/rent
• A recent resident ballot saw 91% of voters support the council’s plans for the scheme and opens the door for partnership working with the Greater London Authority
• The project is seeing the full redevelopment of the existing 1930s estate and the creation of new high-quality, sustainable homes.
• Utilising ground source heat pumps the new neighbourhood will use 90% less carbon than the current homes
• It will aim to be an almost car-free development, with disabled car parking only. Both pedestrian and cycle transport will be a top priority with more than 2,000 cycle spaces for residents.
• The newly built homes will use 90 per cent less carbon than the existing estate and grey water recycling will be used for household functions, in line with Westminster City Council’s plans to be carbon net zero by 2040.
• As well as 780 homes, there will be a new community hub, nursery and fitness centre for residents and visitors. Plus, there will be four high-quality public squares created with water and play features.
• The green spaces will have enhanced lighting for security and an on-site management team.
• Around 270 new trees will be planted, as well as the retention of mature existing trees. Alongside this, there will be new flowerbeds and plants, forging natural havens for the local community and increasing biodiversity.
• An extended high street with new local shops and cafés has also been approved and there will be new places to work including flexible workspace on Ebury Bridge Road and at the new northern gateway.
