Pembroke Street

Development Opportunity.

The site lies on the edge of the Bemerton Estate, on the site of an old public house. It is an area of rapid development with a number of new residential schemes both public and private.

Surrounding buildings range from 4 to 10 storey in height. The Bemerton Estate to the east is council owned and the new development St. William’s Court directly to the west is privately owned.

Planning permission was granted for a building on this site in February 2002 (REF: P011575).
However, for various reasons, the building was not built in accordance with the approved plans. The previous building has been demolished. A new planning application will need to be sought.

The full planning history is available on Islington Council’s website.

Demolition of existing building with a replacement 5 storey, plus basement residential block comprising of 13 self-contained units (5 x 1 bed, 2 x 3 bed and 3 x2 bed, 3 x studios) and associated landscaping.
