Westminster is undertaking the redevelopment of a 1930s housing estate in Pimlico. Delivering 758 new homes (of which 50% will be affordable), new public squares and high levels of sustainability.

Westminster City Council has committed to becoming carbon neutral by 2030 and for the whole city to follow suit by 2040 – ten years ahead of Government targets. The council have committed to building 2000 new affordable homes and tackling the housing crisis the City faces At the same time we are building new energy efficient homes across the city which will help people use less energy, improve their health and wellbeing and will be fit for purpose long into the future.

Ebury Bridge estate renewal is the largest regeneration scheme the City Council has undertaken in a generation. It is through this flagship project that Westminster aims to set the standard for sustainable mixed tenure developments. The development will be 100% electric with a low carbon energy centre providing the majority of power across the homes. Ground Source Heat Pumps will provide heating and cooling to homes and will be supplemented by Air Source Heat Pumps. The development is also being futureproofed to be able to connect to emerging technology such as the District Heat Network. The new neighbourhood will reduce existing carbon from homes by 90%.

Each home will be fitted with low energy fittings, smart meters, grey water recycling (for toilet flushing), well insulated fabric, good air quality and noise reduction and over 90% will be dual aspect. The high performing buildings will be set amongst improved public realm and play spaces in a low car scheme.
