This is a wider estate regeneration undertaken by Lambeth College (who form part of London South Bank University) in partnership with London Realty, and will deliver substantial benefits to Lambeth College and much needed housing in the Clapham Common area.
These two linked schemes, designed by Squire and Partners, will deliver 59% of LB Lambeth’s annual housing target. They will also provide a Gateway Centre catering opportunities for the young people of Clapham to gain the qualifications required to go on to further education or employment.
45 Clapham Common Southside will deliver a mixed used development comprising of six buildings (6 – 13 storeys above ground with basement level blue badge car and cycle parking) providing 529 residential homes, reprovision of a Gateway further education facility with on-site nursery alongside extensive public realm improvements to provide landscaped communal gardens and pedestrianise the site to make it more accessible and welcoming to the public.
It will provide a desirable new sustainable community on Clapham Common Southside with high quality homes (including 35% affordable) at a range of tenures and sizes.
The scheme will deliver 40% of LB Lambeth’s annual housing target while boosting the Clapham Common local economy and creating a cleaner, greener and more publicly accessible space.
Plot C of Lambeth College site at Belmore Street, Vauxhall will deliver much needed housing (with 35% affordable) in the Vauxhall and Nine Elms Battersea Opportunity Area.
This exceptionally designed scheme will deliver a residential building (part 15, part 24 storey) with 262 build to rent homes at a range of sizes and has been designed to maximise the potential of the brownfield site and deliver significant planning benefits, including public realm, playspace and landscaping improvements, blue badge car and cycle parking. New swathes of landscaped areas and public realm create a new pedestrianised access through the wider masterplanned area and integrate with the much loved local pocket park.
