New build cost in Kensal Green.
Kensal Green — NW10 — north-west of Notting Hill across the canal. A mix of Victorian terraces, the famous cemetery, and pockets of newer housing developments.
What makes new-build work in Kensal Green distinct.
Site context: Victorian and Edwardian terraces, with some 1920s housing on the northern edges.
Planning: Kensal Green Cemetery Conservation Area covers the cemetery and immediately adjacent streets; most of NW10 retains PD rights outside it.
Applications go to LB Brent. We handle the Pre-App, planning submission, party wall awards, CIL calculations and conservation officer correspondence end-to-end.

The Kensal Green multiplier (0.92×) reflects local labour, scaffolding logistics and finish expectations.
What's the planning process for a new build in Kensal Green?
Always full planning permission via LB Brent. Kensal Green Cemetery Conservation Area covers the cemetery and immediately adjacent streets; most of NW10 retains PD rights outside it. Most Kensal Green new builds start with a Pre-Application (£500–£2,500) to test feasibility, then a full planning submission running 13–18 weeks. Conservation areas, Article 4 directions and proximity to listed buildings add scrutiny.
What kind of plot makes sense in Kensal Green?
Victorian and Edwardian terraces, with some 1920s housing on the northern edges. Plot types that come up most often in NW10: replacement of an existing house (demolish + rebuild), side-garden infills on corner plots, and occasional backland sites accessed via a private drive. Plot acquisition prices in Kensal Green are part of the equation — we help test feasibility before you commit to a purchase.
How long does a Kensal Green new build take from purchase to keys?
Allow 6–12 months for design and planning (longer in conservation-sensitive parts of Kensal Green), then 12–18 months on site for a single dwelling, 18–24 months for a large new build, and 24–36 months for multi-unit schemes. Our build programme is fixed in the contract.
How much is CIL in Kensal Green?
Community Infrastructure Levy varies by London borough and zone, typically £20–£500 per m² of net additional floorspace. LB Brent publishes its current CIL rates online; we calculate your specific liability at the planning-application stage. Section 106 affordable housing or infrastructure contributions may apply on larger schemes.
