The vision for the Ebury Bridge Estate is to set a new standard in estate regeneration.
In partnership with Ebury Bridge residents, Westminster City Council is taking forward a scheme that will see up to 780 new homes built, with around half being affordable.
The aim for this neighbourhood is to create physical, social and economic sustainability.
Westminster City Council recently presented updated designs for Ebury SW1 before we apply for planning permission in Summer 2020. Click here for more information.

The council is working to create a vibrant, modern neighbourhood for both the existing community and new residents. To do this, we'll:
In 2018, following extensive consultation with Ebury Bridge residents, Westminster City Council approved proposals for the renewal of Ebury Bridge.
The proposals will see the full redevelopment of the current estate and the creation of around 780 new high-quality homes across a range of tenures. We will re-provide all existing council homes, and deliver at least another 159 new affordable homes.
Ebury Bridge Estate residents have told us how much they loved the existing communal garden. To reflect this feedback, five new large high quality public squares will provide a unique experience for residents and visitors alike. These spaces will reflect a contemporary approach to the traditional London square, with each benefiting from sunlight throughout the day.
Located in the heart of central London, the proposals aim to build on excellent transport links, with the new Ebury Bridge aiming to be an almost car-free development. Both pedestrian and cycle transport will be a priority throughout the estate.
Energy efficiency and reducing the estate's carbon footprint are cornerstones of the scheme. The proposals outline how the estate will, in time, become a zero-carbon estate and how it will contribute to the United Nations 17 sustainability goals.
With so many prominent landmarks in the area, we want estate residents to benefit from excellent views. Around 90% of all homes will benefit from at least two different aspects across the London skyline.
