Summary:
- Student Urban Living Ilderton has applied to Southwark Council to replace a car wash on Old Kent Road with a 19-storey tower containing 241 student flats, an increase from a previously approved 15-storey, 168-flat scheme.
- The new development will feature mostly studio flats (183 units) and 29 two-bedroom units, with student accommodation spread from the second to seventeenth floors, alongside ground-floor public amenities including a flexible workspace and café.
- No affordable flats will be included on site; instead, the developer will make payments in lieu to support affordable housing elsewhere in Southwark, while providing over 3,500 sq ft of internal student amenities and a roof terrace to enhance community living.
