The scheme for client Manak Homes would redevelop a 769m site that was once home to the Lloyd Williamson school. It was submitted to Kensington & Chelsea earlier last month. The proposal involves demolishing existing buildings at 2-14 Telford Road and 246-248 Ladbroke Grove, around 500m north of Ladbroke Grove tube station, replacing them with a building with four, five and six-storey elements. The building provides a nursery on the ground floor with a courtyard play space, with 27 self-contained flats above, providing homes for 90 people in a mixture of one, two and three-bed units.Advertisement Both the flats and the nursery will have entrances on Telford Road, while bike storage and refuse would be at the rear of the site, next door to North Kensington Fire Station. Bell Phillips says the nursery will retain the site’s existing social and community use. On the scheme’s appearance, the practice says it has taken references from surrounding buildings, such as curved glazed brickwork referencing the rounded corner of the Eagle, an Edwardian pub next door. Recessed bays and finely detailed metalwork balustrades, meanwhile, reference details found in terraced housing on Ladbroke Grove. Biodiverse green roofs and planting will contribute to the biodiversity net gain and urban greening across the redevelopment. A timeline for the scheme has yet to be set out.Advertisement Project data Client Manak Homes Architect Bell Phillips Local authority Kensington & Chelsea Council Transport consultant TTP Consulting Fire consultant H+H Fire Daylight and sunlight consultant DPR Townscape consultant Iceni Arboricultural consultant Arbtech Engagement consultant Cascade Communications Acoustic consultant KPA Acoustics Source:Bell PhillipsBell Phillips Telford Road
