A private leisure and spa facility is to be developed as part of a residential-led scheme to be developed in Holland Park, London, after the proposals were given the green light.

GC Campden Hill - a joint venture comprising property group Grosvenor and Native Land - received the green light to proceed with the plans from Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) councillors.

The 2-acre (0.8-hectare), John McAslan and Partners-designed residential-led scheme will also feature nearly 70 luxury apartments, private landscaped and a fully-concierged entrance lobby.

The Campden Hill site was sold to the joint venture by RBKC for £100m in February 2010, which will finance the construction of a new secondary school to the north.

Work is expected to commence on the development in autumn 2013, with completion being earmarked for spring 2016.

Grosvenor Developments executive director Craig McWilliam said: "This development reflects Grosvenor's strategy to build on our extensive experience of the prime residential sector, with a particular focus on London."

Native Land and Grosvenor have also teamed up for another joint venture, which will deliver the £400m NEO Bankside development adjacent to Tate Modern. It is due for completion in spring 2012.
