CD9
Kensington and Chelsea Council recently approved a development despite concerns about living conditions and affordable housing, impacting policy CD9.
Kensington and Chelsea Council's Planning Committee approved a development at Telford Road and Ladbroke Grove on 12 October 2026, despite resident and ward councillor objections. Concerns were raised about the impact on living conditions, specifically the loss of daylight and sunlight to neighbouring properties, which relates to policy CD9, a Local Plan policy concerning living conditions.
The approval for the nursery and 27 residential flats also proceeded despite significant local opposition over the absence of affordable housing contributions. The committee's decision followed extensive debate on these issues. No further meetings are currently scheduled to discuss policy CD9.
