Tide has secured planning consent for a 1,051-home Ilderton Road co-living scheme in Southwark after submitting a revised planning application.
Under the company’s new plans for the site, the affordable housing provision has increased by 55% to 186 units and the number of co-living homes has increased from 605 to 865 units.
The redevelopment of this vacant, under-utilised brownfield site is due to commence in 2025 and will be completed in 2027 by Tide’s sister company and offsite manufacturer Vision Volumetric.
Helen McManus, head of planning at Tide, said: “This project showcases how our volumetric construction approach can deliver more affordable housing for local authorities in a faster, sustainable, high quality and efficient way. Combined with the 55% uplift in affordable housing, increased shared living units, enhanced Pocket Park and improved public realm, this scheme will deliver considerable benefits to the area and its community.”
Nenad Manasijevic, principal director at tp Bennett, which designed the scheme, added: “Working on the Ilderton Road scheme from the start, we have focused on delivering much needed design-led, sustainable housing and co-living for Southwark. It has been great working with Tide to ensure the future of this proposal, now one step closer to being delivered. This partnership has allowed enhanced sustainability measures for the scheme, utilising a volumetric method of construction to target a BREEAM Excellent rating.”
