4A Design Evolution & Engagement Update

4A.1 Design Evolution & Engagement Update

Introduction

This chapter outlines the design review and evolution in response to feedback from the Local Planning Authorities (LPAs) including public and stakeholder consultation following the submission of the Hybrid Planning Applications. The process can be summarised in three parts, which are captured in the timeline below.

Feedback review and response

The design evolution and engagement process was shaped by written feedback received from the Local Authorities in February 2025.

Feedback was carefully reviewed by ECDC and relevant members of the design team. Responses were comprehensively considered within the context of the overarching submission and additional content was prepared for continued engagement.

Design response workshops

Between March and May, a series of design review and response workshops were held with the Local Authorities.

Structured around key feedback topics, these workshops built upon the previous iterative engagement process. They provided an opportunity to clarify feedback and present proposed responses. This included supplying additional information, offering clarifications, and exploring amendments to the Illustrative Masterplan and Control Documents.

Finalising updates

Feedback received during the design workshop period was carefully considered and informed the evolution of the proposals.

Additional Illustrative Masterplan material and enhancements to the Control Documents was developed to further reinforce the quality of the Strategic Framework.

4A.1 Design Evolution & Engagement Update

4A.1 Design Evolution & Engagement Update

Summary of changes

This addendum presents the changes to plots WB03, WB04, and WB05 within the LBHF Detailed Component of Earls Court. The updates are the result of ongoing consultation with the Local Authority and the issue of new fire safety standards BS 9991:2024. This is explained in further detail to the right.

The amendments are now submitted with the support of LBHF officers following the detailed review process set out on Page 4.

Continued Consultation

LBHF Highways provided a focused review of the 2024 Submission, and prompted the refinement of the cycle storage access and the WB05-T2 refuse collection route.

Following continued consultation with LBHF planners, accessibility improvements were made by re-positioning the public lift to a more prominent corner of WB04, and improving the step free routes into WB03.

The design team had dedicated workshops with LBHF planners that focused on each individual apartment layout within WB05. LBHF suggested improvements to the family home layouts and requested a reduction in 1 bedroom homes.

The design team have adjusted the internal layouts to optimise the offering for residents. The typical upper plans of WB05-T1 were reviewed to address comments on the unit mix, where an increase of 3 bedroom family homes was preferred.

Regulatory Updates

The updated fire safety standard for residential buildings, BS 9991:2024, published in November 2024, became effective immediately. The guidance requires a more robust fire strategy in relation to protected ventilated lobbies, associated stair and lifts, and escape routes at ground floor.

The floor plans were revised to incorporate this enhanced fire strategy, to WB03, WB04, and WB05.

6A Plot Proposals Update

6A.1 LBHF Detailed Component

Use and quantum

The updated proposals will provide a total of 456 homes across WB04 & WB05.

Through consultation with LBHF Officers, WB05 now provides six 3b5p family homes. The number of 1b2p homes has decreased by 12, however, the number of habitable rooms has been maintained.

6A.1 LBHF Detailed Component

2025 Addendum

The 2025 Addendum proposal is guided by the LBHF consultation following the 2024 Submission.

The amended layouts include:

• The public lift is relocated to the prominent corner of the Cascading Pavilions, facing Aisgill Gardens.

• The gate to the Service Access Road has been moved north, to reduce the recess in front of the vehicle access gate.

• The waste collection strategy for WB05-T2 is proposed from the Service Access Road, instead of Aisgill Avenue.

The core layout remains consistent across all residential levels. With a minor reduction of the building services at the uppermost levels, to allow for storage areas within the units to be maximised.

Summary of changes

BS 9991:2024 has been considered and the fire strategy and plans have been updated accordingly. Access to ground floor cycle store, apartment layouts, and the overall unit mix have been improved.

1. Updated core and ground floor escape route to ensure BS 9991:2024 compliance.

2. Family home layouts redesigned to offer separate kitchen/dining and living spaces.

3. Updated unit mix reducing provision of 1-bedroom homes and increasing provision of 3-bedroom homes.

4. Accessibility of cycle storage has been updated, and provision is according to LPG standard B3.1 (T5).

5. WB05-T2 refuse strategy refined and updated.

General Arrangement

Floor plan redesign

The design team reconfigured the core to a rectangular proportion, eliminating the dark areas (dark pink within 2024 submission floor plan diagram) of the plan and increasing the amount of active frontage and daylight on the façade of each apartment. This allowed for improved apartment layouts to 3-bedroom homes.

Building core

BS 9991:2024 fire safety guidance was released in November 2024, superseding BS 9991:2015.

Every stair is to be within a protected lobby that contains an evacuation lift.

Lobbies are separated by doors on hold open.

Additional third lift provided to satisfy both the London Plan and BS 9991:2024.

General Arrangement

Ground Floor fire escape

The ground floor has been updated to ensure compliance with latest fire safety standard BS 9991:2024.

Evacuation routes are separated by lobbies and doors on hold open.

Riser strategy updated, with no access onto escape routes at ground floor. Risers located within separated ventilated lobbies with dedicated riser access.

AISGILLAVENUE

Each stair connects to a dedicated fire escape route, leading directly outside.

Ancillary spaces separated from escape routes by lobbies.

6A.5.1 General Arrangement

Cycle storage

The ground floor has been updated following ongoing consultation and coordination.

Accessibility of cycle stores has been improved by ensuring adequate aisle width and increased door width to 2m.

Cycle store within T2 relocated, with access from Aisgill Garden Mews.

Other cycle stores within T2 combined, to ensure adequate provision and spacing.

AISGILLAVENUE

T2 Refuse store

Refuse store maintains access from the core for residents, but now faces onto the courtyard.

The courtyard has been reconfigured to facilitate bin travel path to collection point.

3-bedroom layouts

This page shows the changes to 3-bedroom layouts in WB05-T1 from the 2024 submission.

Through discussions with LBHF planning officers, five key principles were agreed which defined successful family home layouts. The updated layouts show an improved 3 bedroom apartment layout, due to the core redesign. The revised plan achieves each of the planners’ layout principles as shown below:

At the pre-application meeting, the design team presented a series of alternate layouts to address these principles. An additional window is provided in the 3 bedroom homes, allowing for more light, views and ventilation within the apartment. It also allows the kitchen to be separated from the living room, affording families more privacy and flexibility than in an open plan arrangement.

6A.5.1 General Arrangement

Revised layouts

This page shows the revised living, kitchen, and dining room arrangements for both WB05-T1 and WB05-T2.

In the WB05-T1 3-bedroom family homes, the kitchen is separated from the living room, affording larger families more privacy and flexibility.

In the WB05-T2 2 bedroom homes, the living rooms remain open plan, with the potential to have a flexible partition if required.

The revised core allows for maximum flexibility in the apartment arrangement and increased daylight and views.

LIVINGKITCHEN

WB05 unit mix

The proportion of 3-bed family affordable homes has been increased, by re-configuring the layouts of WB05-T1 upper levels.

LBHF noted the ratio of family homes provided within WB05-T1 could be improved. The design team found that the high number of 1-bedroom homes on levels 14 and 15 of WB05-T1 were skewing the unit mix. By combining two 1-bedroom homes into one 3-bedroom home (as shown to the right), generously sized family homes can be provided on levels 14 and 15. This improves the unit provision of 3-bedroom homes, and reduces the provision of 1-bedroom homes.

Summary of Changes

The landscape proposals have been updated to ensure compliance with the latest revision of BS 9991:2024 ' Fire Safety in the Design, Management and use of Residential Buildings. Code of Practice'. The updates are:

The northern corner of the Level 2 podium has been amended to an inaccessible planter and private terrace. This ensures maximum escape distances are not exceeded.

2 A new path connects the podium garden to the additional fire exit to WB04, providing an alternative egress route in line with BS 9991:2024 requirements.

3 500mm wide fire break around the building perimeter added to meet the requirements of BS 9991:2024.

4 An alternative fire egress route has been provided in line with BS 9991 requirements, linking the semi-circular terrace, booth seating, play areas and amenity lawn.

5 The courtyard garden now accommodates a path between T2 and the parking spaces to allow for refuse collection.

Playspace

LBHF Play - Detailed Component

Illustrative design response

Play space for LBHF Detailed Components has been arranged to ensure it is inside the borough boundary, within required accessibility distances and has limited overlap with planted areas.

The following approach has been taken when considering play locations:

• Play for 0-5 years is located on plot and within Aisgill Gardens. These are all within the 100m accessibility range required by London Plan play standards.

• Play for 5-11 years is located in the Cascades and Aisgill Gardens.

• Play for 11-17 years is located within the reconfigured Multi Use Games Area. The Multi Use Games Area is reliant of discussions and agreement with third parties.

At detail design stage it is envisaged that the balance of play space and planting would be explored in more detail, to ensure the nature based principles of the landscape vision are maintained.

Note:

‘RBKC/ LBHF Public Realm - Detail’ refers to play space associated with the Detail Component which is located within the public realm. The design of these spaces will be developed through Reserved Matters Applications for the landscape design.

‘RBKC/ LBHF On Plot - Detail’ refers to play space associated with the Detail Component which is located within the Detail Component planning boundary. The design of these spaces is captured in the relevant detail planning applications.

• Nationally Described Space Standards

• Building Regulation Approved Documents

London Plan Guidance Housing Design Standards June 2023

* Corrected from suspected typing error of ‘One bed, three persons’ as stated in official guidance

** Instances of three bed, six persons 31sqm in proposals

*** Combination of minimum and minimum exceeded standards met across dwelling types

*London Plan Guidance

B - Shared and Ancillary Spaces Standard

B2.1 Communal circulation spaces such as corridors are 1500mm wide

C - Homes and private outside space

C1.1 90 per cent of dwellings that are required to meet M4(2) and the 10 per cent required to meet M4(3) set out in Approved Document M, Volume 1 (ADM).

C2.1 All new dwellings must meet the minimum space standard in Policy D6 Part F(1-8) and Table 3.1 of the London Plan.

C2.3 A minimum ceiling height of 2.5m is required for at least 75 per cent of the gross internal area (GIA) of each dwelling

C2.4 The following combined floor areas for living/kitchen/dining space should be met or exceeded:

One person 21 sqm

Two bed, three persons 25 sqm *

Two bed, four persons 27 sqm

Three bed, five persons 29 sqm

Four bed, six persons 31 sqm **

C2.6 The main sitting space in a home for up to two people should be at least 3m wide, and increased to 3.5m wide in homes with three or more bed spaces to achieve a functional layout.

C4.1 New homes should be dual aspect unless exceptional circumstances make this impractical or undesirable; for example, when one side of the dwelling would be subjected to excessive noise or outside air pollution.

C4.3 Recommended: All homes should allow for direct sunlight in conjunction with solar shading. As a minimum, at least one habitable room should receive direct sunlight – preferably the living area and/or the kitchen and dining space

C4.4 Recommended: Avoid placing bedrooms and bathrooms on street-facing façades at ground level or where they face onto a busy courtyard or podium.

C4.6 Avoid large wide full-height windows to habitable rooms (particularly in bedrooms) where the risk of being overlooked and/or overheating is high

C4.7 All habitable rooms (including a kitchen/dining room) should receive natural light and have at least one openable window that provides a view out when seated

C4.8 Best practice: Bathrooms should receive natural light through openable window/s.

Housing Quality

London Planning Guidelines

Compliance - Apartment Layouts

The internal layout of WB04 seeks to comply with all requirements set out in the London Planning Guidelines: Housing Design Standards (2023).

In compliance with the above, WB04 achieves 10% wheelchair adaptable M4(3)(2)(b) units, distributed throughout the lower typical floors, in the form of both 1b2p and 2b3p units. All other apartments achieve M4(2) standard requirements.

All apartments meet or exceed the minimum space standards set out in Standard C2.1 (D6). Apartment type - GIA (bedroom/ppl) (sqm):

1b1p - 37sqm

1b2p - 50sqm

2b3p - 61 sqm

2b4p - 70sqm

3b5p - 86sqm

3b6p - 95sqm

All apartments meet or exceed the minimum combined floor areas for living/kitchen/dining spaces according to standard C2.5 (D6), as below:

1b1p - 21sqm

1b2p - 23sqm

2b3p - 25sqm

2b4p - 27sqm

3b5p - 29sqm

4b6p - 31sqm

Standard C4.1 (D3, D6, S14)

New homes should be dual aspect .... WB04 achieves 100% habitable dual aspect units.

Standard C4.2 (D6)

The location of the main living and eating spaces and the main private outside space, should be optimised to make the most of the best views and the orientation. These spaces should receive direct sunlight ...and enjoy reasonable privacy through the careful placement of windows, balcony design or other measures. WBO4 Living spaces are dual aspect, and balconies are singular and private.

Standard C4.3 (D6)

All homes should allow for direct sunlight to enter as many rooms as possible. As a minimum, at least one habitable room should receive direct sunlight – preferably the living area and/or the kitchen and dining space. WBO4 Living spaces are dual aspect.

Standard B2.1 (D5, D6)

Communal circulation spaces such as corridors should be at least 1500mm wide. Consider additional width adjacent to cores (such as those near lifts and stairs) to allow wheelchair users to turn and/or pass each other more easily

Standard B2.5 (D5, D6)

The number of homes accessed by a core should not exceed eight per floor. Deviation (by exception) from this standard will need to be justified and mitigated by increasing the corridor widths to 1800mm, locating homes on both sides of the core and introducing intermediate doors to create sub clusters. This item is not achieved in WB04, the lower floors have nine homes per floor, split into sub clusters for five and four, with 1500mm clear corridors, and the lift lobby is 2100mm clear.

Standard C10.1 (D6)

Provide a minimum of one 5m2 of step-free private outside space for homes with one or two bed spaces, with a minimum depth and width of 1.5m. An extra 1m2 should be provided for every additional bed space. The amenity area requirement is achieved across WB04, sometimes the amenity area is split between inside and outside, and where the mircorclimate dictates, sometimes the amenity areas is provided inside.

Standard C2.3 (D6)

A minimum ceiling height of 2.5m is required for at least 75% of the gross internal area to enhance the spatial quality, improve daylight penetration and ventilation and assist with cooling. WB04 achieves 2.7m to at least 75% of each home.

9A.2 Housing Quality

Utility cupboard

The typical utility cupboard indicative design is set out here. The base requirement is for a space 2.0m long and 0.85m deep, an area of 1.7m2. On top of these dimensions there is a requirement for a 0.3m zone for drainage. This drainage zone can be located to side the utility making the space 2.3m long OR to the rear of the utility, making the space 1.15m deep. There is a further option to provide the base footprint within the utility, and to combine the drainage zone with the bathroom services. The layouts shown in detail on the following pages demonstrate the minimum 1.7m2 area is always achieved and typically exceeded.

These sizes are applicable to both WB04 and WB05.
