Elephant & Castle homes given nod
Lend Lease won detailed planning consent from Southwark Council yesterday for 360 new homes at Elephant and Castle. The homes form part of Lend Lease’s £1.5bn redevelopment of the former Heygate Estate. Located along the south-eastern part of the estate, the buildings will range from three storey houses to a sixteen storey tower. The developer already has two residential schemes underway at Elephant & Castle including One The Elephant, a 37-storey tower, and 235 homes at Trafalgar Place – both now under construction. The Australian-listed company also won planning permission last year for two residential schemes creating 200 homes in Battersea.
