The first taller buildings, offering views over Battersea Power Station, will be constructed during the initial phase of the project.

The new development aims to be almost car-free, with disabled car parking only. It will also provide top priority for pedestrian and cycle transport by creating more than 2,000 cycle spaces for residents.

The council stated that the new homes will use 90% less carbon compared to the current estate.

Westminster City Council Communities and Regeneration cabinet member Heather Acton said: “Our plans for Ebury Bridge have been formed in close partnership with the residents of the estate and we have made sure their views are reflected.

“To now be able to hand over the site to our contractor Bouygues UK and begin the construction phase is very exciting.

“Ebury Bridge represents the highest number of new affordable homes being built in Westminster in a generation.”
