Work on Assael-designed scheme to start early next year

Nine Elms tfl grainger

The partnership between Transport for London and private rental landlord Grainger is to squeeze more homes above the planned tube station at Nine Elms in south London.

Designed by Assael Architecture, the scheme will be built above the new Nine Elms London Underground station being built by Laing O’Rourke and Ferrovial – the joint venture behind the £500m Northern line extension which will run from Battersea to Kennington via Nine Elms.

The proposals now include around 475 homes, up from the original 450, across three buildings. Forty per cent of the flats, ranging from studios up to three beds, will be affordable.

The development will also provide commercial space, cycle parking and a new public square.

The Grainger-TfL partnership, called Connected Living, is due to submit a planning application for the work this spring with the aim to start work on site early next year.
