Chelsea Creek
Overview
Quod has played a longstanding role in the redevelopment of Chelsea Creek, advising on planning, development economics and environmental planning for the major mixed-use residential scheme in Hammersmith & Fulham.

Details
Quod led planning, environmental and development economics advice for the transformation of Chelsea Creek, securing a major uplift in housing delivery within a highly constrained and evolving London context.
QUOD ROLE
Quod prepared and implemented the planning strategy for the continued redevelopment of Chelsea Creek following the original hybrid consent for the wider site. Working on behalf of Berkeley Group, Quod advised on development optimisation opportunities arising from changing planning policy and the revocation of the Fulham Gasworks Hazardous Substances Consent. The team led negotiations on affordable housing, CIL and Section 106 matters, while coordinating detailed planning applications to supersede parts of the extant consent. This resulted in permission for two new buildings ranging from 7 to 31 storeys, delivering 415 homes and increasing the overall site capacity to 823 residential units.
of commercial floorspace and new public realm, including two canals.
The revised application increased housing delivery by 68%, raising the total number of approved homes from 489 to 823.
Statistics
