Developer unveils updated Chelsea Barracks plans
New multi-million pound 'neighbourhood' to boast sports facility and public art under Qatari Diar-led scheme
By Pete Hayman
A new masterplan for a major redevelopment of the 12.8-acre (5.2-hectare) Chelsea Barracks project in Westminster, London, has been revealed. Middle East-based developer
Qatari Diar is behind the multi-million pound proposals – drawn up by Dixon Jones architects; Squire and Partners; and Kim Wilkie Associates. A community sports facility,
public art and a medical centre form part of the residential-led scheme, along with some of the
first gardens to be created in Central London for more than 100 years. The former Garrison Chapel may also be retained to form a
"beating heart" to the proposed neighbourhood development, which is not set to be gated in order to link in with existing local communities. A new masterplan was drawn
up after Qatari Diar's earlier proposals for the site – de- signed by Rogers Stirk and Partners – were withdrawn in the wake of criticism from the Prince of Wales.
The proposals are designed to link in with existing communities
