The Design Process
In 2008 planning permission for development at Holland Park School was subject to a unilateral undertaking, requiring the provision of 63 affordable homes, 600sqm of D1 use, open space and parking. In June 2008 outline planning permission was granted for this off site provision on the Silchester Garages site. In July 2011 RBKC adopted the Silchester Garages Planning Brief SPD providing guidelines for a higher density development. In 2013 planning approval was granted for development of 112 new homes. Challenges included incorporating an existing tower block and developing alongside the railway viaduct.
