Dolphin Living and the Leader of Westminster City Council marked the final construction stages of the Westbourne Park Baptist Church development, at a Topping Out ceremony held on Monday 18 September. On completion, the Westbourne Park Baptist Church development will provide a mixed-use scheme comprising of a new church, children’s library, community hall and 32 new rented homes, in a range of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments. 100% of the homes are for residents living or working within Westminster and eligible for intermediate housing in Westminster. 22 of the homes will be made available through the innovative Westminster Home Ownership Accelerator Scheme developed in partnership between the City Council and Dolphin Living. The development, designed by Allies and Morrison and located on the corner of Westbourne Park Villas and Porchester Road, will not only provide much needed affordable housing, but will also enable Westbourne Park Baptist Church, a constant presence in the Bayswater area for nearly 150 years, to continue to provide community facilities for the local area. The scheme will also include a new children’s library, located on the quietest part of the site and provided to the City Council on a peppercorn rent for 99 years, which will have an independent entrance to the church. The design approach has focused on developing a unique vision for the site and presents an ecclesiastical image that creates a greater public presence than the previous building on the site, as well as reconciling the residential accommodation within the new building envelope. The elevation design and massing seek to display both the distinct church and civic functions of the building. Cllr...
