Description

The Approval:

Full planning permission has been granted for the demolition of the existing house and the construction of two x two-storey semi-detached dwellings with associated amenity space, cycle storage, refuse storage, landscaping and enabling works.

Each property will provide two-bedroom, three-person accommodation extending to approximately 78 sqm, together with a private rooftop garden of approximately 20 sqm. Each house has garden space at ground floor level

Parking: The approved scheme is a car-free development with no dedicated on-site parking, reflecting its highly accessible location and convenient connections to Underground, National Rail and local bus services.

Total proposed GIA: 156.2 sqm

The Current Site:

The site currently comprises a detached two-storey dwellinghouse extending to approximately 82 sqm, occupying a plot of approximately 150 sqm.

The existing property is to be demolished to facilitate the approved development.

The site is not statutorily listed but is situated within the West Square Conservation Area.

The neighbouring Charlotte Sharman Primary School closed permanently in August 2025. The former school includes a Grade II listed historic building, and the future use of the site has not been confirmed.

Train Stations:

Elephant & Castle provides Underground and National Rail services, while Lambeth

North offers access to the Bakerloo line. Waterloo Station is also readily accessible for

wider Underground and mainline connections.

Westminster, the City and other parts of central and south London. The A201 and

A3 provide convenient road connections across the capital.

Road, with the wider retail, leisure and cultural amenities of Waterloo, the South Bank

and central London also within easy reach.

Eating & Drinking:

The surrounding area offers a varied selection of cafés, pubs and restaurants, with

further choices available around Elephant Park, Lower Marsh, Waterloo and the

South Bank.

Parks and Recreation:

The site enjoys an attractive setting overlooking West Square Gardens, a
