Plans by Transport for London to build a 17-storey office building above Southwark Underground Station have been approved by Southwark Council’s planning committee. 

The scheme, that is tied to a land swap between Southwark Council and TfL, will also enable the construction of 25 new Council homes next door, alongside the existing Styles House tower.  The proposed 17-storey office building which is both BREEAM outstanding and WELL Platinum would be able to accommodate around 2,000 workers and would also include a range of public realm improvements. 

In its role as an advisor to TfL, Carvil helped arranged an extensive engagement programme for the scheme that involved three consultation exercises and delivery of over 7,000 leaflets to local businesses and residents as well as meetings with key stakeholders.
