London Square Developments and NHS Property Services have received planning consent for the development of 125 new apartments, in addition to commercial and community space, in Kingston upon Thames.
The scheme is located on the site of the former Hawks Road Clinic, which is surplus to the NHS’s requirements and was vacated in 2020.
The apartments will be a mix of one-, two- and three-bedrooms and 50% will be on-site, tenure blind, affordable units.
Jessica McSweeney, partner, planning and development at Carter Jonas, which worked alongside Fuse Architects to achieve planning consent, said: “We are extremely pleased to have achieved this planning permission, which follows 18 months of work alongside the council’s planning officers, the Greater London Authority, neighbouring landowners, the community, the Design Review Panel and other statutory consultees. The scheme will bring much needed housing, including a substantial proportion of affordable housing, to the borough.”
