Irvine Sellar’s plans to build a new 26-storey tower of luxury flats next to the Shard, SE1, have been recommended for approval by Southwark planners.
The Renzo Piano-designed scheme will go before the council’s planning committee next week.
The scheme includes the demolition of Fielden House, SE1, to make way for 148 new flats and 19,000 sq ft of shops.
Affordable housing will be built off-site under the proposals, with Sellar pledging to provide more than 50 affordable houses at the former Wood Dene Estate in Peckham, reflecting a contribution of 35%.
