Description

This development comprises a residentially led mixed use scheme comprising approximately 500 residential units, plus ancillary retail / commercial floor space on a large site close to the Thames. The site forms a key area within the Surrey Wharves masterplan and the development includes using the former Grand Surrey Canal as a linear park to regenerate North Deptford. A benefit of the development will be a significant improvement to pedestrian routes across the site and the public realm at this location. The planning application involved a full Transport Assessment, Travel Plan, Environmental Impact Assessment and in-depth highway capacity modelling. Agreement was reached with Transport for London and the London Borough of Lewisham, the strategic and local highway authorities and planning permission was granted in 2010.
