Summary:
- Summix OCS Developments Ltd has submitted plans to Southwark Council to build 465 student flats across two blocks on Ossory Road and 26 social rented family homes on Verney Road, with planning permission expected on March 3.
- The student accommodation includes amenities such as a gym, cinema, study spaces, and 2,466 sqm of commercial floorspace, while the social rented homes will feature mostly four-bedroom units, wheelchair-accessible options, and communal rooftop gardens and play areas.
- Planning officers support the proposals, noting the student rooms equate to 186 homes and will ease pressure on the local private rental market, despite public objections concerning building height, design, and construction impacts.
