Scheme designed by HTA to provide up to 2,550 new homes
Plans by a Taylor Wimpey-led joint venture for a huge £1.4bn estate regeneration programme in Battersea have been given the green light by Wandsworth council in London.
The Winstanley and York Road scheme, which will provide up to 2,550 new homes, was backed in principle by the Greater London Authority in November last year but was granted reserved matters approval by Wandsworth last week.
The scheme is being developed by a joint venture between housebuilder Taylor Wimpey and Wandsworth council, with a masterplan drawn up by housing architect HTA Design.
In addition to the new homes, 35% of which are designated as “affordable”, the scheme includes a leisure and community centre, library, children’s centre and nursery, and a new 2.49ha public park.
The tallest part of the scheme is a 32-storey HTA-designed residential block, with the leisure centre and library designed by LA Architects at its lower levels.
The scheme will also feature designs by Stirling Prize-shortlisted Henley Halebrown, Figure/Ground, LA Architects and landscape architect Farrer Huxley. Planning consultant Montague Evans is also on the project team.
The council and Taylor Wimpey have already completed two housing blocks on the site and are building the new Battersea Baptist Church and Thames College school. These schemes, dubbed phase 0 of the masterplan, were given planning approval in September 2018.
The application will now be referred to the Mayor of London for his final decision, due within the next 14 days.
