City Developments’ Reselton Properties arm has secured planning consent for its £1.1bn development at the historic Stag Brewery site in Richmond-upon-Thames, south-west London, after revising its proposals for the scheme.
The London Borough of Richmond-Upon-Thames’ planning committee resolved to grant consent for the development yesterday (19 July).
Plans for the scheme, undertaken by Dartmouth Capital Partners on behalf of Reselton Properties, which is a subsidiary of Singapore-listed CDL, were reworked last year to shrink the residential element.
The plans now comprise 1,068 new homes, 54,000 sq ft of offices, up to 30 retail and leisure spaces, a hotel, cinema and a new school academy for 1,200 pupils. Affordable housing accounts for around 8% of the residential aspect and is 80% social rent tenure and larger homes for family use.
The development is one of the largest mixed-use schemes in south-west London. It also includes more than 10 acres of public space.
The revised application follows on from an earlier scheme that the council approved but was rejected by mayor Sadiq Khan after referral to the Greater London Authority. It was turned down because it was too tall in parts.
Because of its size, the decision must be approved by the GLA under its Stage Two review.
Guy Duckworth of Dartmouth Capital Partners, who is the director responsible for the Stag Brewery site, said: “This is the largest development in the London Borough of Richmond and we have worked really hard to create a scheme that the borough will be proud of, designing both a multiple range of residential homes from our award-winning architects Squire & Partners and a mix of uses that will bring life to this part of Mortlake that has been cut-off from the Thames riverside for several centuries.”
