Key changes within the 2021 submission

A new pentagonal form presents a more elegant profile on the skyline and relates to the geometry of adjacent streets.

The proposals have been refined to provide up to an extra 12 new homes across all tenures, with residential amenities open to all.

We have been working with RBKC and Venture Centre to develop proposals including the playground.
