Proposed masterplan and design principles

What's changed since October?

As a result of our consultations with the community, stakeholders, Southwark Council planning officers and other experts, the masterplan designs have continued to evolve, including a number of key changes;

• Plots 5A and 5B combined
• Thurlow Square remodelled
• More commercial space
• Taller block streamlined
• Play and sport provision developed for Bagshot Park

Key change: Plots 5A and 5B combined

Key change: Design of the taller building

Many people wanted to know more about the impact the proposed 25-storey block, particularly on the park. 

Testing of digital models shows that there will be minimal shadow cast on the park, which is to the south. 

Following feedback, the architects have also given the tower a more slender appearance by making its floorplan a cross shape to cut away the corners of the building. 

The building has also been shifted back from the pavement to allow existing trees to be retained.
