The Planning Committee (Major Applications) B is scheduled to convene on Tuesday 3 November 2026. The primary focus of the meeting will be the consideration of a significant development proposal at the Kennington and Walworth Delivery Centre.

Kennington and Walworth Delivery Centre Development

The committee's agenda includes a detailed examination of a planning application for the Kennington and Walworth Delivery Centre, located at 111-123 Crampton Street, London, SE17 3AA. The proposal outlines the demolition of existing buildings and the redevelopment of the site to provide co-living units. This development would include associated internal and external amenity spaces, cycle parking, refuse storage, public realm improvements, and landscaping.

The report pack indicates that the proposed development would consist of 146 co-living units, with 14 of these designated as wheelchair accessible. The plans also detail 551 square metres of indoor amenity space, including a 95 square metre publicly accessible coffee lounge, and 117 square metres of outdoor amenity space on a fifth-floor terrace. New public realm improvements are also proposed for Manor Place, incorporating hard and soft landscaping. The development is planned to be car-free, with provision for 73 long-stay cycle parking spaces and a cycle hire scheme. The applicant is targeting a BREEAM 'Excellent' rating for the development.

The report pack details the extensive considerations for this application, including its principle of land use, urban design, heritage impacts, quality of accommodation, and transport implications. It also addresses environmental matters, energy efficiency, and planning obligations, such as a significant financial contribution towards affordable housing. The proposal is subject to a Section 106 agreement, which would secure various contributions and obligations related to housing, local economy, transport, and environmental enhancements.

The committee will also receive reports on development management, which will cover the determination of planning applications, formal observations, and the instigation of enforcement action.
