An update on Lots Road South
Find out more about the submitted application below.
In July 2025, we submitted a planning application for the Lots Road South project to Kensington and Chelsea and Hammersmith and Fulham Councils. Since submitting, we have received feedback on the proposals from key stakeholders, and we have now made and submitted some minor amendments to the planning application to address these. A description of the minor amendments is provided in the submitted Design and Access Statement Addendum, which you can view here.
We are still committed to delivering all the benefits outlined below, including 118 high quality social rent homes, 65 of which are Extra Care.
We’d like to thank everyone who has engaged with us over the last two years as we’ve worked to develop our plans for a truly transformative scheme at Lots Road South.

Before Mount Anvil was brought onboard, Kensington and Chelsea Council spent some time consulting with the local community on its vision for the site and wider Lots Road area.
Take a look at the timeline to learn more about their activity and how we’ll be taking this forward together:
March to November 2021
Mapping and design workshops
Throughout 2021 the Council held 10 workshops with local residents, community groups, businesses and ward councillors. These captured ideas for how ‘Lots Road South’ could be developed to best meet the needs of the local community.
July 2022
Creating a Design Brief Supplementary Planning Document
Using this feedback, a design brief was created to provide a planning framework for what should be delivered as part of any future redevelopment. This included delivering affordable workspace; commercial space; affordable housing; extra care homes; public space and landscaping; and the reprovision of the Auction House.
February 2023
Kensington and Chelsea Council invites tenders and selects Mount Anvil as Development Partner
In late 2022, the Council set out to find the right development partner for the site, and after a rigorous tender process, which included input from local residents, Mount Anvil was selected in February 2023.
May/June 2023
Meet Mount Anvil
Having been appointed, we held some intro sessions with our project team on 31 May and 6 June 2023. At these, we heard that:
• The community wants to be kept up to date with the plans and be given different opportunities to have their say.
• People were interested in the commercial units and how these could help boost the local economy. There is a desire to see more green spaces and improve access to the Creek.
• The types of homes delivered here will be important, and more information is needed on the affordable homes.
• Building heights and any impact on light must be considered carefully.
• Minimising the amount of disruption during construction is a top priority.
July 2023
Our first design workshop was held where members of the public met with our architects to explore height and massing options for the site.
