Nyes Wharf

At Nyes Wharf in London Borough of Southwark we secured planning permission for Peabody for a 11,600 sq.m. residential led, mixed use development which falls within the Old Kent Road Masterplan (OKR10). 

It was the first of the applications to receive approval and set a key benchmark in meeting London Plan key objectives. It was viewed as the exemplar project for OKR10, part of the wider 13 hectare masterplan to deliver 20,000 new homes to the Borough over the next 20 years.

 The approval granted 153 London Plan compliant new homes, 35% of which will be affordable housing and approximately 1,200 sqm of flexible creative SMW workspace at ground and mezzanine levels.

The height, bulk and massing was designed in collaboration with the wider development proposals for the area, with hierarchy of building shoulders consistent with the future neighbouring development. The overall height of the tower at eighteen floors remains at the more modest end of emerging tower proposals for the area.

The development would see delivery of a significant new piece of public realm in contribution to the planned new linear park which loosely follows the path of the old Surrey Canal. The site is currently being developed by Berkeley Homes.
