Plans to build a multi-million pound “caviar care” complex for wealthy older people in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea have been rejected by the deputy mayor of London in the latest clash between Labour and the Tory-led borough over affordable housing.
Plans for the luxury complex included 142 homes with extra care provided, selling for an average of £3.6m each, three houses selling for up to £12m and just five affordable homes – well below the target set by the London mayor, Sadiq Khan, for all new housing developments to include 35% affordable housing.
