Wornington Green, North Kensington, W10

Built between 1964 and 1985 Wornington Green estate consists of 538 homes made up mainly of flats in six-storey connected blocks. An options appraisal carried out between 2001 and 2005 found that regeneration was the best way to address problems on the estate including high levels of both overcrowding and underoccupancy.

The regeneration plans include building 538 quality affordable homes of mixed sizes and 20 new retail units for Portobello Road – generating up to 200 new jobs. A connecting road will be constructed to better integrate the estate into the surrounding community and a new community centre will be built. Once work has finished a park will be returned to residents that is the same size as the existing Athlone Gardens.

The scheme was granted planning approval for phase 1 of the five phase scheme by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in March 2010. Phase 1 includes the building of 324 new homes, a mix of 174 for affordable rent and 150 homes for private sale.
