David Chipperfield Architects was granted approval on 7 June 2011 for minor material amendments to its 2007 planning application for the De Vere Gardens residential development in Kensington. On a prominent site facing Kensington Gardens on Kensington Road, and bounded by Victoria Road and De Vere Gardens, the development comprises 97 high quality residential units.
The amendments include the internal reorganisation of the site and changes to the elevation design of the three new buildings on the site, facing Kensington Road, Victoria Road, and Canning Passage respectively. The development also involves the reconfiguration of the original terraced houses along Victoria Road and De Vere Gardens, within the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea's De Vere Gardens Conservation Area.
Work started on the site in July 2010 and the project is expected to complete in early 2014. The application for planning amendments was led by Savills for De Vere Estates.
