Proposals

---

Planning approval was granted by Southwark Council in January 2022 for a mixed-use development of two buildings of five and 32 storeys at 19-35 Sylvan Grove containing 3,000 sqm of employment floorspace, 219 homes, and a public garden square. Given changing market conditions we are looking to revise that planning approval to deliver 23 family homes for social rent, 1980sqm of flexible employment floorspace and 688 student bedrooms.

The massing and envelope of the revised scheme is very similar to the original application, and we attach the boards from our original proposal so that you can see how our proposals compare.  

To reflect the changes in the scheme we also attach a series of boards showing how the scheme has evolved. 

The key benefits of the scheme are as follows:

• The scheme maintains extensive public square for use by local residents
• 23 family homes provided for social rent tenants
• All new homes have extensive private amenity space and communal amenity and children’s playspace
• New student beds with the majority supported by a local university ensuring students attending local institutions are catered for
• The scheme will include affordable student accommodation 
• New flexible commercial space provided to meet the needs of SME businesses in the area
• High quality architectural design which is sympathetic to local character and materials in the area
