Revised plans for a mixed-use development on the former 22-acre Stag Brewery site in Mortlake, south west London, have been given the go-ahead by Richmond Council.
Dartmouth Capital Partners – acting on behalf of Reselton Properties, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Singapore-listed City Developments – submitted a revised application for the site after London mayor Sadiq Khan turned down the initial application.
The revised scheme includes 1,068 new homes – approximately 8% of which will be affordable; more than 10 acres of open space accessible to the public and nine acres of green space; a new high street consisting of 20 to 30 shops, bars and restaurants, together with a hotel, cinema and rowing club; a new secondary school academy; and 5,000 sq m (circa 54,000 sq ft) of offices.
Guy Duckworth, the Dartmouth director responsible for the Stag Brewery site, said: “This is the largest development in the London Borough of Richmond and we have worked really hard to create a scheme that the borough will be proud of, designing both a multiple range of residential homes from our award-winning architects Squire & Partners and a mix of uses that will bring life to this part of Mortlake that has been cut-off from the Thames riverside for several centuries.”
Murray Levinson, of Squire & Partners, added: “We are absolutely delighted with the decision. Over the last three years, we have worked closely with the London Borough of Richmond’s planning department, the GLA and local residents’ community groups to create a scheme that will be a truly valuable addition to the local community and gives full public access to a beautiful and important section of the River Thames for the first time in more than 300 years. As a result of its generous mix of uses, the scheme enriches the wider area rather than delivering an independent housing estate disconnected from its existing context.”
Because of the size of the development, the decision will have to be approved by the Greater London Assembly under its stage two review.
