The developer behind the £8.5bn redevelopment of Earl’s Court has set out detailed plans for phase one of the scheme and announced that construction is expected to start on site in 2026.

The joint venture between Delancey, the Dutch pension fund manager APG, and Transport for London (TfL) will submit a hybrid planning application for phase one by summer.

The first phase will deliver 1,000 new homes for rent and to buy for students, families, workers and Later Living, as well as a 4.5-acre park, Table Park, an office building and a cultural venue.
