🚫 Stop the Kensal Towers – Protect Our Community 🚫

Posted on by

⏰ Deadline to Object: 19 September 2025

All objections must be submitted by this date – don’t miss it!

Why KRRA Objects

The Kensal Triangle Residents Association (KTRA) is leading the local campaign against the proposed Kensal Gasworks development. The Kensal Rise Residents Association (KRRA) is also submitting a formal objection because this scheme would cause unacceptable harm to our community.

Whilst we recognise the need for new housing, this development is not the solution: it represents overdevelopment without the infrastructure to support it, threatens already congested roads, worsens air quality, provides no guaranteed genuinely affordable homes, and would damage the character of the local area.

👉 Read the KRRA’s full response below – and make sure you submit your objection before 19 September 2025.

📢 Quick Summary

🚧 What’s planned?

  • 6 towers up to 🏙️ 31 storeys
  • Nearly 🏘️ 900 flats crammed in
  • 👷 10 years of construction next to Sainsbury’s

❌ Why we object:

  • 🚗 Roads already at breaking point (Chamberlayne, Ladbroke Grove, Harrow Rd)
  • 🌫️ Air pollution hotspots will worsen
  • 🏫 No new schools or GP services for thousands of extra residents
  • 🏘️ “Affordable housing” not guaranteed to be genuinely affordable
  • 🏞️ Heritage and canal corridor harmed by towers out of scale

📢 KRRA says: This is overdevelopment without the infrastructure to support it.

✍️ Objection Paragraph (for you to copy/paste)

“Whilst recognising the urgent need for new housing in London, I object to planning application PP/25/03535 (Kensal Gasworks, Ladbroke Grove). The scheme represents overdevelopment – nearly 900 homes in towers up to 31 storeys – on a site served only by congested roads (Ladbroke Grove, Chamberlayne Road, Harrow Road). The transport case is incomplete and unproven, air quality and road safety will worsen, social infrastructure is missing, and heritage assets will be harmed. For these reasons, I urge RBKC to refuse this application.”

👉 ⏰ Final deadline: 19 September 2025.
