Earls Court Masterplan

The £10bn transformation of a 44-acre site will create a new district for Central London, combining homes, workspace, culture and green space. Bringing forward this complex masterplan requires coordination across development plots, infrastructure and multiple rail interfaces, with London Overground and Underground lines running through the site. Spanning two boroughs, the scheme addresses separate planning requirements while incorporating evolving fire safety standards, building regulations and ambitious climate resilience objectives into a coordinated approach to development.

G&T is providing Project Management services for EC1, advising on the masterplan and coordinating interfaces between individual plots and infrastructure. We managed the design team through the pre-planning stages, supporting rail interface strategies and incorporating BS 9991 requirements and council feedback into the planning submission. Working with the Earls Court Development Company, we also supported early engagement with the Building Safety Regulator, helping to develop Gateway 2 strategies that considered the challenges of overlapping plots and the sequencing of future delivery.

Resolution to grant planning permission was secured from both boroughs (RBKC and RBHF) in Q4 2025, establishing a significant milestone towards delivery. G&T’s coordination helped bring together planning, infrastructure and building safety considerations, supporting a coherent basis for the next stages. The masterplan proposes around 4,000 homes, 2.5 million sq ft of workspace and 20 acres of public realm and green space. A zero-carbon energy network and a target of zero operational carbon from day one underpin its sustainability ambitions.
