Earl’s Court Opportunity Area Placemaking Framework Supplementary Planning Document

This entry showcases the work done by Kensington and Chelsea Council in partnership with members of the Earl’s Court communities to reimagine the opportunity area and produce a placemaking framework with guidance for private developers.

It is a successful case study on targeted community engagement for plan-making designed to be cost effective, insightful, inclusive, and engaging. It is also a testament to the value of an in-house multidisciplinary team in a local planning authority. The core project team is made of an engagement expert, an urban designer, a chartered town planner, and a planning apprentice – all Council officers.
