Carvil was appointed by Tribe Student Housing to assist it with its plans to redevelop the KFC on the Old Kent Road into a 267-room student housing development with ground floor commercial uses and a pocket park to the rear.  In its role as public affairs advisor for the scheme Carvil arranged a virtual programme of engagement given the COVID-19 pandemic for both these schemes.  This included a development website, community webinars and Zoom meetings with key stakeholders.  A planning application was submitted in September 2020 and unanimous consent was achieved from Southwark Planning Committee in April 2021. Construction is ongoing with completion expected in 2024.
