Capital & Counties will today submit planning applications for its £8bn redevelopment of Earls Court in west London.
The proposals are for the 77-acre Sir Terry Farrell masterplan and the 7.5-acre Seagrave Road car park site. More than 7,500 new homes will be created by the masterplan, which together with Seagrave Road involves 11.4m sq ft of development.
In addition to the new homes, the masterplan includes offices, leisure space, a hotel and shops, as well as a new primary school, library, an integrated health centre and 23.5 acres of public open space, including the five-acre “Lost River Park”.
The application for the Seagrave Road site replaces the existing 7.5-acre car park with a scheme comprising 808 new homes ranging from townhouses to flats.
Gary Yardley, director of EC Properties, a wholly owned subsidiary of CapCo, said: “Our proposals for Earls Court represent a multi-billion pound investment in London. It will deliver thousands of much-needed new homes and jobs, and create a remarkable new place.
“Our planning application follows two years of consultation and we are proud to submit a masterplan which has been shaped by the community. It draws its inspiration from London, and specifically from the neighbouring areas of Kensington and Fulham.”
