Styles House redevelopment proposal
Building New Council Homes at Styles House
Since the development of Southwark Underground Station, Styles House residents have lived with uncertainty as various plans to build over the station and develop the Platform Building have been proposed. In 2016 we, the Styles House TMO, voted to take ownership of the development of new Council homes at Styles House so that we could maximise our influence and ensure our needs were at the heart of any development of the estate. We have worked with the Council and a project team to develop plans, which have been driven by resident comments, for new Council homes and upgrades to the Styles House estate generally. We know that the development is likely to be disruptive to existing residents so we have worked very hard to ensure that the development will result in improvements across the estate that can be enjoyed by all residents.
november 2020 Update
Planning
The Planning Application for building the new Council Homes at Styles House is with the Council’s Planning Department, and the consultation period with neighbours has completed. When the Council’s Planners have taken account of all the comments, they will produce a report, with a recommendation to the Councillors on the Planning Committee, on whether to accept the planning application or not. The Councillors will consider this at the same time as TfL’s Planning Application for the new office building over Southwark tube station. We will let you know when we have the date for the Planning Committee meeting when a decision is made.
The next stage of this for the TMO will be line up a project manager and quantity surveyor to work with Igloo. If the Councillors on the Planning Committee approve the planning application, there will be a variety of conditions that will have to be met as part of the detailed design, and we will need to choose a builder who can do the work close to our block, and reduce the disruption to residents throughout the building process.
