The Lots Road South site sits in the south-west corner of the borough, on the south-western side of Lots Road between Chelsea Harbour and the King’s Road. It is currently occupied by a vehicle pound and two warehouse buildings. The site is located within Lots Road Employment Zone and is immediately adjacent to the Lots Village Conservation Area. The site is owned by the Council and the Council’s ownership extends beyond the borough boundary into the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. The larger part and existing buildings are within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
This design brief is a supplementary planning document (SPD) which provides more detailed guidance on policies in the Local Plan and forms the framework for which any future planning application relating to the site is determined. An SPD is a material planning consideration in the decision-making process. The SPD must be in accordance with the Local Plan and London Plan and cannot set new policy. The design brief focusses on providing additional guidance for the site at Lots Road South, to support the Local Plan site allocation policy. The design brief ensures that development here is consistent and of high quality, whilst allowing flexibility in specific elements of architectural design. It allows residents, developers, business owners and the Council to understand the principles behind any future development at the site and the various forms this could take.
