However, developers will now only build one 42-storey building. Initially, the scheme was set to have four tall buildings that were each 31-storeys. The ECDC has cut back its housing plans after opposition from local residents and the council, who pushed for more green space in the development and fewer tall buildings. It is the second time plans have been scaled back: the site’s former owner originally won approval to build 7,500 homes at Earl’s Court in 2012. The scheme, located between Brompton Cemetery and High Street Kensington in London, will now host 4,000 homes. The Earl’s Court Development Company (ECDC) said it would build 500 fewer homes than planned at the 40-acre derelict site, which once played host to artists including David Bowie and Led Zeppelin. The developer behind the regeneration of Earl’s Court has scaled back its housing plans amid a drop in demand for luxury properties in London, writes Riya Makwana.
