Delivery
Over the three years to March 2025, Kensington and Chelsea delivered 896 of the 1,146 homes it was required to: 78%. The government's published consequence: the council must add a 20% buffer to its land supply.
What is on the brownfield register
63 live sites covering 53 hectares, of which 20 have no planning permission yet.
