Discover Wonder

Foreword After four years of deep consideration and collaboration with stakeholders and local people, The Earls Court Development Company (ECDC) is delighted to present the ambitious future plans for this iconic Site. We formed in 2021 during the lockdown imposed by the first global pandemic in a century, an era which was both disruptive and formative, demanding that we reflect and reassess how we will be living in the future. There could be no more engaging mission for a team specifically assembled to design a place fit for the 22nd century. As a team, ECDC shares a passion for transformational inner-city projects, and collectively have wide-ranging experiences from diverse international projects. Together, we are driven to fulfil the opportunities of this complex strategic site for London and rightfully put Earls Court as a place back on the global map. Our intent from the very beginning, was to take a different approach to community involvement in shaping design. Setting up as a local business and being right next to Site everyday, working closely with both local authorities, the Mayor’s office, local businesses and our neighbours has been fundamental in shaping our plans for the Site, which we believe are more relevant and exciting for it. We have listened and taken huge inspiration from Earls Court’s heritage, as a place that dared — to showcase, to entertain and celebrate the spectacular. A place that was so clearly cherished for being bold and brave, welcoming people from across the globe. Our plans retain that innovative spirit that embraces future thinking — an approach we believe has become more important now than ever before. An approach that continues to drive

us to create a global exemplar of sustainability. We understand our responsibility to deliver much needed homes and employment opportunities for London. Critical to achieving these aims is creating a place with personality, a place that once again becomes a destination with a broad cultural appeal and is fully inclusive to all that come to experience it. The masterplan has been created to prioritise urban wellbeing and includes a network of Exhibition Gardens that will be open and accessible for everyone to enjoy. We’re creating a pedestrian-first environment alive with daytime and evening active uses. This generosity of open space is evident at key arrival points as well as the unique Table Park and Lillie Sidings. Our commitment to create a better piece of city has been evidenced over the last three years as we have welcomed over 500,000 people back onto Site to enjoy a programme of events that nod to the past and point to the future of Earls Court. ECDC began with a mantra ‘to make haste slowly’ and ensure we took the time to both listen and appreciate the world of Earls Court, which helped to establish the early vision to bring the wonder back to Earls Court. Now, after over four years of consideration, we are proud to present our hybrid planning submission to the authorities for determination — a key milestone to enable the future of Earls Court as a place, once again, to discover wonder.

Earls Court Development I Design Code I July 2025

Introduction This Design Code, Revision 1 has been prepared by Hawkins\Brown and Studio Egret West to replace the Design Code, Revision 0, dated July 2024. It has been updated to take account of amendments to the Proposed Development and respond to feedback in relation to comments received from the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (“RBKC”) and London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham (“LBHF”). In July 2024, two Hybrid Planning Applications were submitted, one to RBKC (Reference: PP/24/05187) and one to LBHF (Reference: 2024/01942/ COMB) in relation to the redevelopment of land bounded by West Cromwell Road, Warwick Road, Philbeach Gardens, Eardley Crescent, Lillie Road, Old Brompton Road, the West London Railway Line (“WLL”), and 1 Cluny Mews in RBKC (the “RBKC Site”) and North End Road, Beaumont Avenue, West Cromwell Road, the WLL, land comprising the Empress State Building (“ESB”), Aisgill Avenue, the former Gibbs Green School properties fronting Gibbs Green Close, and properties fronting Dieppe Close (the ‘LBHF Site) which straddle the boundary between the two boroughs (together forming “the Site”). The Proposed Development will form the new Earls Court Development. The Hybrid Planning Applications are submitted on behalf of Earls Court Partnership Limited (“ECPL”) (“The Applicant”).

The RBKC Hybrid Planning Application is formed of detailed development proposals in respect of Development Plots EC05 and EC06 for which no matters are reserved (“RBKC Detailed Component”), and outline development proposals for the remainder of the RBKC Site, with all matters reserved (“RBKC Outline Component”). The RBKC Detailed Component and RBKC Outline Component together are referred to as the “RBKC Proposed Development”. The LBHF Hybrid Planning Application is formed of detailed development proposals in respect of Development Plots WB03, WB04 and WB05 for which no matters are reserved (“LBHF Detailed Component”), and outline development proposals for the remainder of the Site, with all matters reserved (“LBHF Outline Component”). LBHF Detailed Component and LBHF Outline Component together are referred to as the “LBHF Proposed Development”. Together the RBKC and LBHF Proposed Developments form the Earls Court Development which comprises the redevelopment of the Site. The Earls Court Development will provide residential dwellings, purpose-built student accommodation, assisted living, workspace, culture, community, retail and leisure facilities alongside high quality public realm and open spaces.

The Proposed Development is currently anticipated to be delivered in eight main phases and over an estimated programme of approximately 19 years. The eight main phases encompass the full build out of the Proposed Development. The indicative development programme is based on the assumption that planning permission is secured in 2025. Elements of infrastructure works are expected to commence prior to Q3 2025. Where applicable, separate applications have already been submitted or may be submitted for these works as described in chapter 5 and the Infrastructure Works section of the submitted Environmental Statement. The impacts of these works have been considered as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) and in and in relevant planning application documents for completeness and robustness. Therefore, for the purpose of the indicative development programme, the Proposed Development works are anticipated to be undertaken over 13 years for the Early Phases (completion targeted for Q2 2037) and 19 years for the All Phases (completion Q2 2043). First residential occupation is likely to be in Q1, 2031.

Depot is complex and whilst an indicative programme has been agreed with London Underground Limited (“LUL”), it is subject to ongoing review, detailed preparation and design, and additional consents. It may change and could delay vacant possession beyond the timescales currently anticipated. Due to the above, the Hybrid Planning Applications consider and assess two different scenarios. These are: 1. All Phases: comprising the entirety of the Proposed Development. This is currently anticipated for completion by 2043. 2. Early Phases: Phases 1-4 (the ‘Early Phases’) are completed, but the Depot remains operational and is delivered to a different programme from that currently anticipated in the All Phases scenario. This report considers each of these scenarios. For further information in relation to phasing and development scenarios, refer to the submitted Planning Statement and Environmental Statement.

No significant delay is anticipated between the phases. However, realising vacant possession of the Lillie Bridge

Post Planning Application Submission Amendments and Response to Consultation Feedback Since the submission of the Hybrid Planning Applications, consultation has been undertaken with LBHF, RBKC and relevant statutory and non-statutory consultees. As a result of the postsubmission consultation feedback, amendments have been made to the Proposed Development.

The purpose of this Design Code is to incorporate updates, which respond to key points of feedback that have been received. The updates can be summarised as follows: •

Amendments to reflect or clarify updates to Parameter Plans.

These amendments can be summarised as follows:

•

Adjustments to provide clarity on design principles in the context of flexible land uses.

•

Updates to enhance the articulation of built form in response to the townscape and heritage setting from key views.

•

Enhancments to further define how active frontages and the public realm come together.

•

Inclusion of additional and updated codes within the Design Code as outlined below

Additions to ensure ecological corridors are enhanced and landscape respond to local character.

•

Development Specification updates to reflect the above amendments.

Adjustments to clarify the approach to integrated planting and play space.

•

Additions to further clarify the potential Cluny Mews pedestrian and cycle connection, including alternative provisions.

•

Additions of design principles for a potential new square outside West Kensington Station.

•

Amendments to Parameter Plans to reduce height of EC03 by one storey, refine massing of WK02 and other incidental modifications.

•

Minor design updates to Development Plots within the RBKC Detailed Component (Plots EC05 and EC06) and LBHF Detailed Component (Plots WB03, WB04 and WB05).

•

• •

LBHF minimum residential unit number increased from 1,600 to 2,000 (proposed to be secured by an appropriately worded planning condition).

Earls Court Development I Design Code I July 2025

Format of the Application The Hybrid Planning Application includes a large number of documents and drawings including: Control Documents (for approval) The Control Documents are those seeking approval from the local authorities on the character, appearance, quality and quantum of development. These include the Development Specification, the Parameter Plans, and the Design Code. The Design Code has been written to be read in conjunction with these other Control Documents. Supporting Documents (for information) The Supporting Documents are not for approval and include the Design and Access Statement, as well as all supporting statements and technical assessments which form part of the Environmental Impact Assessment. The Design and Access Statement describes how the design has been developed and how it has responded to considerations, public and stakeholder consultation and other inputs to develop the principles for land-use, amount, scale, layout, landscape and an overarching approach to character and appearance.

An Illustrative Masterplan (as described within the Design and Access Statement) has been developed to show one way in which the Parameter Plans and Design Code can be interpreted. Detailed Component Documents The Hybrid Planning Application also comprises further applications which are submitted as Detailed Component. Information for these components are not covered as part of this Design Code explicitly, but the Detailed Component conforms with the relevant sitewide design guidance.

NPPF and NMDC

National Planning Policy Framework and National Model Design Code The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) establishes the requirements and guidance for the assessment and production of design codes. It states that deign codes should respond to local character and design context to produce frameworks for creating highquality places. It also identifies that the production of the codes should be developed following an approach that is consistent with the principles as set out in the National Model Design Code. The National Model Design Code (2021), develops more detailed guidance for the production of design codes. This proposal provides a specific response for the Earls

An Integrated Approach The Design Code for the Earls Court Development has developed an integrated approach that reconciles the 10 Characteristics into three clearly defined sections: Vision, Landscape, Built form. By distilling the characteristics in to these three central themes, this Design Code is able to succinctly emphasise the overarching vision for the Site as

NMDC ‘10 Characteristics’

a response to the existing context and identity of the place. It then develops specific design guidance for both Landscape and Built form (at both a comprehensive sitewide scale and in response to more local Character Area conditions) to maximise a clarity in the design priorities and usability of the design guidance (whilst still reflecting the full range of policy characteristics).

How to Read the Design Code This Design Code is organised in to Sitewide and Character Area scales. This approach enables the document to provide design guidance that will ensure a coherence in strategic principles across the development as well as respond to distinctive design opportunities in response to more local conditions. In order to use the Design Code in developing design responses for particular spaces or buildings within the development, it is therefore necessary to both read the Sitewide chapter and the relevant Character Area chapter (or chapters). Sitewide codes apply to the whole Site and establish the general strategic principles and guidance that is relevant to all spaces, plots and buildings. These define the key principles for the development and provide guidance for both Landscape and Built form topics. These codes should be read first to understand the key principles for the development.

Character Area codes then provide further specific guidance for particular spaces or plots in response to the particular character of an area of the Site. This guidance again develops with Landscape and Built form topics and enables more specific and distinctive design guidance. Codes at this level could include topics such as more specific landscape requirements, urban character properties, building typologies and material appearance or composition etc. In addition, Character Area guidance also enables the sitewide principles to be further developed in response to the immediate neighbouring context. For an understanding of guidance for a Plot or an area of public realm, both the Sitewide and relevant Character Area chapter should be read (see diagram on opposite page for Character Area extents). For Plots and areas of public realm on the edge of a Character Area, the neighbouring Character Area should be read for context.

Terminology and Status The Design Code adopts a consistent hierarchy of status throughout that is emphasised in bold letters for each code. This is a critical component of the guidance - identifying the strength of the design guidance, level of commitment and the implications for how designers respond and future RMAs are assessed.

Mandatory

The approach taken is through the use of “must”, “should” and “could” statements. The specific definition of the respective code status is described in the diagram below:

“must”

Principles that are approved requirements for a compliant RMA

“should”

Principles that are strongly encouraged (but also allow for alternative scenarios to be proposed within a RMA submission that meet equivalent objectives)

“could”

Principles that are suggestions or workable options (to be explored, considered and tested through the RMA submission)

Non-Mandatory

Earls Court Development I Design Code I July 2025

Approach to Design Code The codes have been developed through close engagement with the relevant statutory bodies and technical consultant input to provide an effective basis for future design development. This process has ensured that they most accurately reflect the vision and ambition for the Earls Court Development. The Design Code has considered four key strategic themes. These themes are set out below:

Access and inclusion

Sustainability

The ambition is for exemplary accessibility combined with social and economic inclusion to create a place that everyone, regardless of their age or disability, can enjoy and participate comfortably and independently.

Sustainability is central to the Earls Court Development, with an ambition to create a better piece of city for existing and future communities that are socially, economically and environmentally sustainable.

Specialist access consultants David Bonnet Associates (DBA), have contributed to the Design Code to ensure that the Proposal’s ambitions are captured in the Control Documents. In addition, the Public Realm Inclusivity Panel (PRIP) have contributed to the Design Code, ensuring a variety of perspectives are captured.

► Refer to Sitewide / Landscape / Inclusivity and Movement. Specific codes can also be found through relevant sections and spaces.

► Refer to Design and Access Statement:

Masterplan (EC.PA.08) and other relevant documents.

The Design Code’s approach to sustainability establishes guidance and objectives emerging from the Sustainability Strategy to ensure that the documents remain relevant with changing policy and technology. Striking the balance between flexibility and commitment will foster creativity and innovation to allow the Earls Court Development to meet its ambition.

Engagement

Stewardship

Extensive consultation has formed part of the design process. This has included a wide range of engagement with the public, Local Planning Authorities and other statutory bodies.

Long term stewardship will be critical for the delivery and maintenance of Earls Court Development.

The Public Realm Inclusivity Panel (PRIP) have reviewed sections of the Design Code, providing detailed feedback to help ensure designs are ‘people-first’. The PRIP focused on the public realm sections of the Sitewide, West Brompton and Aisgill Gardens chapters. In addition to the PRIP, feedback from public consultation events has also been incorporated into the Design Code and Illustrative Masterplan.

► Refer to Statement of Community

Involvement (EC.PA.43) and other relevant documents.

2. Vision [VI]

Earls Court Development I Design Code I July 2025

2.1 A Global Legacy For 150 years Earls Court has been known as a global showcase for innovation, entertainment and excitement. A place known for wonder. A source of entertainment, employment and excitement, the Earls Court Exhibition Centres were alive with activity. It started when a cabbage patch was transformed into the America Fair, a grand exhibition that brought the Wild West to West London. In the following decades the Exhibition Centres welcomed thousands to global exhibitions and fairs, held seminal rock concerts and global events, and twice played host to events for the Olympic Games.

Historical events and activities that were held at the Exhibition Centres

Earls Court Development I Design Code I July 2025

2.2 How the Vision Has Developed The vision has been informed by the requirements of the Planning Policy Framework, alongside a detailed character assessment and growth strategy for the Site, following the approach set out by the Characterisation and Growth LPG (2023) and as demonstrated in Chapter 3 of theDAS. Through early engagement, an understanding of what the Earls Court Site and its history meant to people was established. The days of Buffalo Bill and the Great Wheel at the World Fair Exhibitions, and Pink Floyd at the Exhibition Centres have passed but the legacy and memories of those times live on. Through a series of collaborative workshops with local residents, community organisations and amenity groups, alongside round-tables with arts, cultural and stakeholder groups—hundreds of people have shared their stories, recollections of the past, thoughts of the present and hopes for the future.

2.2 How the Vision Has Developed The overwhelming feedback was clear — that Earls Court had been a place of excitement, spontaneity and diversity. The myriad of shows and concerts at the Exhibition Centres brought a buzz to the area that is greatly missed. As important were the skills and training opportunities and the economic impact which the Exhibition Centres had on the local area. For younger people, for whom the Exhibition Centres had not been part of their past, the conversations focused on what the Site could become in future. One word came up again and again – wonder.

Community listening: Wonder emerges Responses gathered during the February and March 2022 masterplan workshops. Words have been scaled to be indicative of the level of importance given at the events.

Earls Court Development I Design Code I July 2025

2.3 The Vision: To Bring the Wonder Back Reinstating the wonder Earls Court was known for will reflect its rich cultural heritage and the sense of excitement which so many experienced. The vision to bring the wonder back is based on four priorities which emerged through early public consultation during 2021. These set out the ambition and helped shape the emerging masterplan approach.

To bring the wonder back to Earls Court

Priority 1

Priority 2

Open up the former Exhibition Centres Site for the first time in 150 years — giving back to local communities.

A showground of world-class ingenuity — celebrating its legacy and history.

Priority 3

Priority 4

Create a better piece of city — a blueprint for future generations.

Addressing the climate emergency — an ambition to go beyond net zero.

Earls Court Development I Design Code I July 2025

2.4 The Four Place Pillars of Earls Court Setting the standard for future urban development, Earls Court will re-emerge as London’s place to discover wonder. During consultation, the question ‘why would you come here’ was repeatedly asked. This led to the evolution of four place pillars which will create the identity for Earls Court. These formed a core part of the consultation material since early 2023 and underpin a unique proposition for the future development.

The vision evolved into a masterplan based around four place pillars:

Nature

Innovation

A celebration of nature and its ability to connect and revive

A showcase for climate and clean innovation and skills

Culture

Neighbourhood

A cultural ecosystem for the future of talent

An inspiring neighbourhood designed for all stages of life

Earls Court Development I Design Code I July 2025

2.4 The Four Place Pillars of Earls Court A celebration of nature’s ability to connect and revive Nature presents untold benefits to the health and wellbeing of ourselves and our planet. Amplifying its presence and fostering better connections with nature is our golden thread - creating diverse and generous spaces to play, meet, relax and for sanctuary, whatever the season.

Earls Court Development I Design Code I July 2025

2.5 A Commitment to Design Excellence Building on the place pillars, ECDC has set out design principles to guide the development of the first buildings and deliver on a commitment to design excellence. ECDC is focussed on enabling future trends and delivering a positive legacy. The Design Team’s role is to design a solution for the Site which delivers a global exemplar of sustainable development. The ambition is to create a place with personality which is accessible and welcome to all, a blueprint for future generations. This will be ensured by applying these design principles throughout the evolution of the development.

A New West Side Story

To celebrate the heritage of a place that has always embraced the opportunity to be different and made a strategic contribution to the future of this great city through innovation and entertainment; creating a new destination which puts Earls Court confidently back on the map and changes perceptions of West London.

Be Good Ancestors

Constantly thinking beyond today, working collaboratively to leave a better piece of city for existing and future communities, delivering the ambition to create the heritage of the future through exemplary design and sustainability.

An Earls Court for Everyone

The opportunity, privilege and responsibility of designing this new neighbourhood, one with people at its heart. A neighbourhood that brings people together, where they feel welcome, safe and included, a sense that this is truly for everyone.

Earls Court Development I Design Code I July 2025

2.6 The Sustainable Development Charter ECDC is committed to delivering an exemplar development at Earls Court, a blueprint for future living, creating a resilient masterplan, considering the future, through sustainability and exceptional design. This means delivering innovative buildings and spaces, enhancing the environment, producing economic benefits for the widest number of people, and creating significant social and economic value for the local area. The development aspires to have a positive sustainable impact not just within the Proposed Development but beyond the boundaries of the Site. The focus on sustainability has run through and informed all aspects of the development proposals and processes. From day-one to in use, across ECDC’s own internal operations to meanwhile uses, and the way in which the team works with all stakeholders – from suppliers and contractors, to tenants, occupiers, partners and neighbours. These are ECDC’s principles for future living: to be people-centric and planet-conscious.

The Sustainable Development Charter (SDC), ‘Principles for Future Living’ sets out goals and objectives for three focus areas: social value, economic inclusion and environmental wellbeing. The goals underpin the vision and key priorities. Each goal has a clear set of metrics and targets that will allow measurement of performance and support continuous improvement, all with the aim of driving the best sustainable outcomes for all.

PRINCIPLES FOR

The purpose of the Charter is to: • Show how ECDC intends to build a sustainable Earls Court from meanwhile activities through development and during occupancy. • Provide the basis for the way ECDC will measure and report on progress. • As a result, establish the means to improve performance year-on-year for the good of the Earls Court community. • Provide a mechanism by which those who live, work, and visit Earls Court can assess the extent to which ECDC has delivered.

A Sustainability Charter for Earls Court

FUTURE LIVING 1

The Sustainable Development Charter, ‘Principles for Future Living’

It is not intended to be a ‘fixed‘ statement, but a Charter that will adapt and develop over time to suit the shifting programme of the development, and to better suit the changing needs of the communities and stakeholders.

Earls Court Development I Design Code I July 2025

2.6 The Sustainable Development Charter Social Value The generation of social value is, and will continue to be, a core driver in everything ECDC does. In the context of Earls Court, social value is defined as ‘the importance that people (and society) place on changes to their lives caused by the actions and activities of ECDC.’ The social value created will be measured and reported on a regular basis. This measurement will be governed by the 11 OECD Dimensions of Wellbeing, and the guidelines set out for Social Return on Investment. Economic Inclusion ECDC’s mission is to deliver the very highest standards of economic inclusivity, to involve and benefit the widest number of people and local communities in and around Earls Court who are directly and indirectly affected by the project throughout its lifetime. Economic inclusion will be achieved when the widest range of people benefit from the advantages created by the development. This commitment will apply during design and construction as well as in the longer-term; through postoccupation and operation. Environmental Wellbeing ECDC’s aim is clear – to ensure impacts are climate positive, to respect and live within collective environmental limits, now and for tomorrow. One of the goals is to go beyond net zero carbon: simply put, to remove more carbon emissions from the atmosphere over the lifetime of the development than are emitted during the design, construction and operation of the scheme. To ensure this is verifiable, ECDC will measure progress against independent and internationally recognised environmental assessment methodologies to evidence and validate the outcome. For a first step ECDC has signed up to the UN Race to Zero campaign, aligned with Science Based Targets to guide and validate this ambition. ► For more information on the sustainability strategy refer to Sustainability Strategy (EC.PA.21). ► For more information on sustainability within the Illustrative Masterplan refer to Design and Access Statement Volume 1: Outline Component / Spatial Strategies / Sustainability (EC.PA.08). ► For more information on the socials values of the project refer to Social Value Statement (EC.PA.45). 50

The goals are as follows:

A safe, inclusive and supportive place for everyone

Involving local people

A wonderful place to live, work and visit

Maximise appropriate economic growth in the local area

Provide access to economic opportunities for all

Create an affordable community

Beyond net zero carbon

Water neutral

Celebrating and enhancing our natural environment

Delivering cleaner air

Circular resource use

Healthy living

Maximum Building Line The Maximum Building Line defines the area within which buildings must sit above ground. This is aligned with the Development Zone boundary in most, but not all, cases. When they coincide, the Maximum Building Line is shown within the Development Zone boundary. Built form can be set back from this maximum building line (provided this is consistent with other design guidance regarding building alignment and street character) and this boundary describes the maximum condition within which buildings can be located.

Other permitted uses along frontages at Ground Floor Where indicated with a single thick line, active uses must be prioritised at ground level drawn from the range of uses and floorspace capacity permitted by the Development Specification for this Development Zone. An “active frontage” refers to buildings that have ground (and sometimes upper) floors with windows and doors facing onto the street, creating interest and activity. Related uses might include shops, cafés, community and cultural uses, commercial premises or services but can also include residential uses and providing access to upper levels.

SW LANDSCAPE | Overview

Landscape Overview

A celebration of nature’s ability to connect and revive. Inspired by Earls Court’s history of horticulture, pleasure gardens and showcase, a series of Exhibition Gardens creates a landscape full of discovery and surprise. Each public open space has an important role to play within the landscaped network. Conceived as a series of Exhibition Gardens, the different spaces respond to their location and context, whilst allowing people to move through the Site intuitively. The unique character and identity of each space informs the approach to biodiversity but also demonstrates the numerous ways in which people and nature can coexist.

Character Area extent

Overview West Brompton is a lively quarter that connects Earl’s Court station to West Brompton station. It is anchored by a leafy crescent lined with shops, cafés and restaurants that ensure it is active during the day and into the evening. Key principles that characterise West Brompton include: •

A tree-lined crescent that connects two stations and associated squares.

•

Two inviting squares opposite each of the stations that stitch into the surrounding context.

•

A mix of active uses at Ground Floor complemented by a mix of homes above.

•

A pair of workspace buildings, responding to each other and the existing context, create a legible gateway into the Site.

•

Building typologies that are contextual and accentuate the geometry of the crescent.
