CONTACTLondon Square has received the green light for a prime development, Ransome’s Wharf, close to the Thames in Battersea and directly opposite the Chelsea Embankment.
Following the acquisition of the 1.6 acre site earlier this year, London Square submitted an application to amend the original 2015 permission to ensure compliance with updated fire safety regulations and upgrade the energy strategy to meet current standards.
This is the latest step in ensuring the delivery of new homes on a site which has been vacant for a decade. The development will feature five stylish blocks of low rise apartments set in landscaped gardens along the waterfront, with 118 homes, 94 apartments for private sale and 24 affordable homes, with more than 19,000 sq ft of commercial space.
Adam Lawrence, Chief Executive Officer, London Square, said:
The new development will complete the regeneration of the area next to the Thames between Albert Bridge and Battersea Bridge. Neighbouring the Ransome’s Wharf development, fashion house Vivienne Westwood is planning to extend and update its atelier and headquarters with an application to create a new building with a collage effect façade currently being considered by the London Borough of Wandsworth.
Battersea Park is within 200m of Ransome’s Wharf, with 200 acres of green open space, landscaped gardens, a children’s zoo, tennis courts and other sports. The iconic Battersea Power Station is a short walk away, with its global retail brands and leisure facilities. Transport links are excellent, with four stations within walking distance and quick access to the Uber Thames Clipper riverboat services.
Ransome’s Wharf will be London Square’s fourth scheme in the London Borough of Wandsworth, alongside Nine Elms, Wandsworth Common and Upper Richmond Road. It forms part of the business’ significant pipeline of homes for the capital which stands at approximately 7,000 homes over the next five years, with 38% affordable housing.
