28-34 Queensway Community updates
Welcome to the Community Liaison Hub for the redevelopment of 28-34 Queensway and Olympia Mews. Here you will find the latest community newsletters, which are produced on a regular basis to keep you up to date with the development.
Ahead of submitting an application to the Westminster City Council, we are keen to share our vision for the site and to gather feedback on the proposals.
Queensway is currently undergoing significant regeneration. Queensway’s character derives in large part from its commercial uses, with a diverse mix of uses contributing to a lively street scene.
 
Most buildings have residential premises to the upper floors. Moving north, the character of the street is increasingly dominated by larger scale buildings, most notably The Whiteley and the prominent 20th Century flat blocks opposite. With significant upgrades ongoing at The Whiteley, and the redevelopment of Queensway Parade, the area is re-energising its reputation as a vibrant, multi-faceted community.

Key features of the development

In February 2024, Vabel’s Section 73a application on the site was approved by Westminster City Council’s Planning (Major Applications Committee). This application sought to make minor changes to the 2022 scheme to enhance the development in terms of the quality of the accomodation, architecture and sustainability.

30 high quality homes, including 25% 3-bedroom apartments and new affordable homes

Sustainable development including a well-insulated building with passive cooling. Air source heat pumps and solar panels introduced for a 100% fossil fuel free development.

3 retail units with frontage on Queensway, designed for smaller retailers to respond to local demands.

High-quality flexible office space to support business in Queensway.

Enhanced Urban greening, including a landscaped communal residents garden and green roofs.

Sensitively designed facade, to respond to the local context and to be a positive addition to Queensway.
