London Square has submitted plans for a major residential-led mixed-use development next to Wandsworth Town railway station, SW18.

It is the firm’s biggest proposed development to date, with 14 new buildings of between eight and 15 storeys.

The Hawkins\Brown-designed scheme will provide 517 homes, as well as 55,000 sq ft of offices and 30,000 sq ft of shops.

The existing site is occupied by a B&Q retail shed, which provides employment for 60 people. Once complete, it is anticipated that the new office and retail space will provide 484 full-time jobs.

Over 1,000 cycle parking spaces are proposed, as well as 57 car parking spaces, and 174 new trees will be planted on site.

Quod is advising on planning.

A nearby Homebase store is also set for redevelopment. Plans for 321 homes in buildings of up to 17 storeys were refused in 2016, but a more recent application has been submitted for 343 homes in buildings of up to 15 storeys.

This mirrors the recent trend of intensification, where unit numbers across the site have increased, albeit at the same time as the tallest elements have decreased.
