Lewisham planners grant consent to major scheme

Only last month the Pint of Milk test blogged about 'the major plans for Lewisham', where there are many large developments planned across mostly the north of the borough and close to the River frontage. Even EGi News ran a story recently about 'the fate of nearly 70 acres in the planner's hands'.

Well here's another to add to the mix of large residential developments in Lewisham; the Cannon Wharf Business Centre. Having recently been granted consent by Lewisham, subject to approval by the Mayor, the scheme will provide buildings 3 to 8 storeys plus two buildings of 20 and 23 storeys in height. These will provide 696 residential units in total, with 579 private, 22 social rented and 95 shared ownership. The scheme is being developed by London Business Centres; RMA Architects and CGMS Planning Consultants were also involved.

The site is situated to the east of Evelyn Street, and to the south of Greenland Dock and Surrey Quays. The river frontage is a short distance to the east as is Millwall FC to the west.
