The final proposals for the Cundy Street Quarter have been approved by Westminster City Council

June 2021

The approval follows the deferral of the application in February 2021 to consider the impact of removing the top floor from the senior living building fronting Ebury Street. After consultation with residents, we submitted an amended proposal that meets the request to reduce the impact on daylight and sunlight whilst minimising the reduction in new intermediate homes for Westminster. You can read more about this here. All the affordable homes will be up to 50% larger than the existing homes, cheaper to run, and have their own communal gardens and play spaces. Westminster City Council residents from Walden House have a right to return to the new social rented homes on site, with the option to move just once should they choose. These homes will be prioritised in the first phase of the development, which is expected to complete in 2025. The design amends did not impact on the social rented housing offer. We’d like to thank everyone that participated in the process over the last two years and look forward to working closely with you in the future. We will share more about what happens next in the coming months, but in the meantime please don’t hesitate to contact us at cundystreet@grosvenor.com if you have any questions.
