Spring Mews planning application

Aplanning application has been submitted by CLS Holdings for their Spring Mews development.

The application is for: Redevelopment of 2-16 (evens) Tinworth Street and 100-110 Vauxhall Walk to provide a mixed use scheme comprising a range of buildings up to 8 storeys in height; providing a 120 bedroom hotel (4,353sqm GIA), student accommodation and associated support facilities including 402 student bedrooms (11,355sqm GIA), a convenience retail store (245sqm GIA), a series of small business units (use class B1 - totalling 469sqm GIA) a replacement community centre (561sqm GIA), associated basement servicing area, new public realm, public realm improvements and disabled parking. Please note that no development works are proposed to 92-98 (evens) Vauxhall Walk, Shaftesbury House, Cromwell House and 112 Vauxhall Walk; which would be retained. These are included within the application site to allow for proposed improvements to the public realm and pavements along Vauxhall Walk to the front of these properties.

This is a particularly important development for the community as it will involve re-providing the Vauxhall Gardens Community Centre.

This is especially important for residents who live within the area created by Black Prince Road/Kennington Road/Kennington Lane/The Railway Line as the Vauxhall Gardens Community Centre was set up for the area's benefit.

Spring Mews public exhibition

Spring Mews is a proposed new mixed-use scheme including student accommodation with retail, hotel, and a new community centre and cafe. The proposed new development is sited on land bounded by Tinworth Street to the North, Vauxhall Walk to the east, Glasshouse Walk to the south and the railway line to the west.

The proposals have been developed in discussions with Lambeth Council and in liaison with the Vauxhall Gardens Community Centre.


Public exhibition:

Thursday 14 July 5.30pm to 8.30pm

Saturday 16 July 11am to 2pm

Exhibition venue Westminster Tower, 3 Albert Embankment, SE1 7SL


About the existing site and proposals

The site is underutilised at present and has been identified for redevelopment in Lambeth Council’s Local Plan for some considerable period of time. The community centre is tired and the overall run-down site only provides around 20 jobs with most of the site used for coach parking.

CLS's proposals provide for a modern community centre to be built in the same location and the provision of over 80 jobs on the site with new commercial uses. In addition, by providing student accommodation CLS is supporting the delivery of the Council’s affordable housing provision by reducing the demand on the private rented sector that would otherwise be available for family housing. New retail and a public mews will also add to the local amenity and setting with better pedestrian links through to local green spaces and architecture sensitive to the area’s heritage.

CLS Holdings plc (CLS) is both the largest property company in Lambeth and is based in Vauxhall.
