Westminster Council has resolved to grant planning permission for the redevelopment of 217-221 Harrow Road, currently the site of St Mungo’s homeless accommodation centre.
The proposed redevelopment of the site was brought to committee by Gerald Eve, on behalf of Stories and St Mungo’s, and plans include the erection of two new buildings as part of the redevelopment of the dated homeless centre to deliver a far enhanced and more efficient homeless centre, new move-on units, and 98 build to rent and affordable homes.
The development proposals will deliver a comprehensive housing scheme including 45 self-contained units, 19 affordable homes and build to rent housing, all within a development of the highest architectural and environmental quality which will be a very positive addition to Harrow Road. It will have an overall reduction of 62% on site carbon emissions and extensive urban greening.
