What has changed?
The key changes between the amended scheme and the ‘January 2020’ scheme are essentially to do with a redistribution of the heights of buildings across the site, with the changes rarely being more than the addition or removal of one floor, although there are pockets of two and three storey changes in height. The greater heights and massing proposed across the board by the GLA in order to boost housing numbers overall, are no longer being pursued.
Key benefits being brought forward in this amended scheme include:
- New publicly accessible, local facilities including a cinema, hotel, community facilities, a boat house, shops and restaurants and additional leisure facilities including a new water sports centre
- Over 1,000 new homes, including ‘affordable housing’ making a significant contribution to the delivery of housing in London
- New connective routes will be established linking the station, Mortlake Green and a new Thames footpath while cycle lanes will be extended
- Public transport will be enhanced through support for better bus services and an enhanced level crossing at the station
- The scheme will also refurbish heritage assets and bring them back into everyday use, for the enjoyment of all
- Onsite carparking reduced by 186 spaces
- Zero fossil fuel air source and electric heating and energy systems throughout
The developers are providing the land and assisting the council in pursuing a second application for a secondary school, for which an esteemed academy has already been secured. More information on the school can be found in the ‘Application ‘B’ tab above.
Across the scheme the team is seeking a high level of commitment towards biodiversity, low carbon development, sustainability and local economic development.
More details of the community and general benefits on offer are given with respect to the two applications below.
The two planning applications will be submitted in early February but it is anticipated that it will take LBRuT two to three weeks to validate and register them. Once this has been completed we will add information on how to access and formally comment on the full applications on this site.
New Planning Applications - January 2022
There has been a masterplan vision for the regeneration of the vacant Stag Brewery site, a ‘brownfield site’, since 2011 when the Local Authority adopted a plan (a Supplementary Planning Document or SPD) for its future redevelopment. The amended scheme presented here fits the description of this vision, and with the later ‘Local Plan’, providing the key benefits outlined on the Home Page, and further discussed with respect to the two applications here.
