St William Homes LLP is proposing reserved matters for 128 new homes, delivering 88 affordable rental units and 40 intermediate rent units.
The reserved matters plans drawn up by architects HTA Design, is the third reserved matters application submitted to local council Hammersmith & Fulham.
Previous applications include the operational sales & marketing suite and a new public park to the north of the proposed scheme at Plots D1 and D2.
Of the 128 new homes for discounted rent, 88 will be for affordable rental units. These are where rents are up to 80% of market rents. Previous Mayor Boris Johnson had two categories, “capped at 50% market rent and discounted affordable rent at up to 80% market rents, these included service charges.
The remaining 40 units set aside for intermediate rent units, which is also capped at 80% of market rents with the idea that tennants will be able to save enough money to put down a deposit on a home purchase through the rent subsidy.
In addition to the much needed sub-prime market housing, the scheme also provides three new pedistrain accces routes from Emden Place and Imperial Road as well as provision of a new public park which will link into future phases when subsequent reserved matters are built out in due course.
