CMA Planning
Where: Herne Hill Road, SE24
Who For: Peabody
What: 134 homes and 4,150 sqm of commercial floorspace
Architect: PRP
This site is located south of Loughborough Junction station between Herne Hill Road, Hinton Road and Coldharbour Lane. Planning permission was originally secured for this site in 2015 by a speculative developer. Peabody secured the site, but needed to make a number of changes to deliver a viable scheme which met their high quality standards.
As a result, a new team was instructed, which came up with a new scheme, with a small increase in the number of homes and level of commercial space, but which saw the maximum height increase from 8 to 16 storeys.
The proposals are for a mixed-use scheme including 134 new homes with 50% affordable provision and commercial space. The scheme will also deliver improvements to the public realm with open access to the arches and a courtyard for residents at podium level.
Following detailed discussions with the GLA and the London Borough of Lambeth, planning permission was secured for the new scheme in December 2020.
