Planning Granted for £144m scheme above Nine Elms tube station
A new Three-tower development from ASSAEL replaces former proposal by Grimshaw
Lambeth Council’s planning committee has voted unanimously to approve the over-station development above the new Nine Elms tube station, featuring 479 homes as part of Connected Living London (CLL).
The £144m three-tower development replaces the original proposal from Grimshaw that was approved in 2016, adding over 100 new homes to the scheme with 40% of the build-to-rent homes being ‘affordable’.
Assael’s new proposals consist of three triangular towers ranging in height from 74m to 89m, with two of the towers sharing a podium sitting directly above the new Nine Elms tube station, due to complete this year as part of the Northern line extension to Battersea Power Station.
The scheme also includes a new 2,200sq m public realm area called “Pascal Square” containing mostly hard landscaping with a few trees, 38 cycle parking spaces and a children’s play area.
It is the second of five schemes for CLL, Transport for London’s partnership with developer Grainger, to be given the green light in the past year.
The “slot-in” application is now due to head to the GLA for final sign-off.
