Phase 2 of the Somerleyton Road development in Brixton has received a resolution to grant planning permission.

LUC supported Higgins Partnerships and the London Borough of Lambeth in bringing forward this community-focused scheme, designed by BPTW Architects.

The development will deliver 378 much-needed new homes, of which 56% are affordable.

It also includes 63 extra care homes, a new facility for Brixton Street Gym, community facilities, commercial space, and extensive public realm improvements.

LUC’s landscape design for the site will provide high-quality outdoor spaces for residents and the wider community, including a public square, courtyard gardens, accessible roof terraces, and enhancements to the local streetscape.

Construction work is expected to begin soon.
