Lambeth Council has now chosen a development partner for the next phase of Somerleyton which has already seen Brixton House Theatre built and the locally listed Carlton Mansions refurbished.
In a council report, Higgins Group was formally confirmed as the partner to deliver the proposals for a net-zero development of 363 new homes, of which 54 percent, 195 homes, would be affordable and 138 of these would be for social rent.
Councillor Danny Adilypour, Deputy Leader of the Council and Member for Sustainable Growth and New Homes said:
“Appointing a delivery partner is an important step towards building desperately needed high quality and energy efficient new affordable homes, while maintaining our focus on maximising delivery of new homes at Social Rent. There are also important improvements to the local area and community benefits proposed.
This proposal also exceeded our affordable and extra care homes targets, which is a real achievement at a time when the spike in inflation has made building so much more expensive, and when every single new affordable home matters in Lambeth.”
The Somerleyton Road phase two procurement process was carried out under a competitive procedure which began in August 2023 after a Cabinet approval in July 2023.
The pre-planning and resident engagement work for Somerleyton phase two are due to begin in Autumn 2024.
