South London developer, Joseph Homes was given the go-ahead by London Borough of Southwark to redevelop the industrial buildings at 25-33 Parkhouse Street, helping to transform the existing Burgess Business Park into a new creative quarter. 25-33 Parkhouse Street will be an exciting new place for local people to live and work well, in a development which will deliver 72% carbon reduction. Planning Committee Members unanimously voted in favour to grant planning permission for the development on Tuesday evening (19th October 2021). The plans will deliver 109 homes, including affordable and generously sized family homes, on the border of Burgess Park as well as 1,351sqm of modern and flexible commercial space including affordable space. It’s the same amount of space currently available on site so there will be no net loss of commercial space, but delivering a modern and flexible space will allow for the creation of up to three times more jobs than the existing warehouse on the site. There will also be 2,283sqm of amenity space, an overprovision to the policy requirements, which will include play space for all ages, acknowledging the importance of accessible open space for future residents and occupiers  of the new neighbourhood.

The current 0.34ha site comprises a warehouse building within the Burgess Business Park and will be transformed into a vibrant mixed-use development which will prioritise sustainability and amenity space, and create an extensive green corridor to visually connect Parkhouse Street to Burgess Park, in line with the aspirations New Southwark Plan and the Council’s Local Development Study for the area. The development will be car-free and provide 223 cycle spaces to help encourage sustainable transport.

The site was identified and allocated for regeneration as part of the New Southwark Plan and is located in an Urban Density Zone. Parkhouse Street delivers the ideal mix of residential and employment uses to help bring life back to the area. Leading up to the committee, Joseph Homes and architects HTA Design carried out extensive community engagement to gain valuable feedback from local residents and businesses. As a result of this, there was a reduction in massing along Parkhouse Street, an enhancement of the façade details and materials and a reduction in the number of homes from 128 to 109 with an uplift of 84% of the homes being dual aspect.

In its role as public affairs and engagement advisor arranged a series of consultation meetings with key stakeholders as well as a public exhibition prior to submission of Joseph Homes’ original planning application.  Following a series of amendments to the scheme as a result of the publication of Southwark’s Local Development Study for Parkhouse Street, Carvil arranged a further round of consultation with key stakeholders and local residents.South London developer, Joseph Homes was given the go-ahead by London Borough of Southwark to redevelop the industrial buildings at 25-33 Parkhouse Street, helping to transform the existing Burgess Business Park into a new creative quarter. 25-33 Parkhouse Street will be an exciting new place for local people to live and work well, in a development which will deliver 72% carbon reduction.
