Star Land Realty UK has received planning approval for a residential scheme on the site of the historic Barnes Hospital in Mortlake, Richmond upon Thames.
The plans will see 107 homes, 22% of which will be affordable, delivered across three separate blocks of three or four storeys.
Among the affordable units, 79% will be available for social rent, while 21% will be offered as shared ownership. Prioritising family living, 42% of the social rented homes are designed as family units.
Two of the buildings, which are recognised as Buildings of Townscape Merit, will be converted in three flats.
The majority of the former NHS site closed around 2007 and had been empty before being granted outline planning permission for the redevelopment of the whole site in 2020.
The sale of the residential plot provided funds for the wider regeneration of South West London and St George’s Mental Health NHS Trust site. Plans for a new SEN school and health centre were approved last year.
Mark Swetman, chief executive at LS Estates, the development manager, said: “This development is a milestone in sustainable living, providing much-needed new homes while enhancing the local environment with innovative, ecological features.
“The net-zero design and our focus on carbon reduction honours the heritage of the area, delivering modern, high-quality homes that embody our commitment to a sustainable future.”
