The Springfield Hospital development, also known as the Springfield Village, has been given the go-ahead by the GLA.
The proposal was full planning for the following: Demolition (in severable phases) of all existing buildings and structures, including the Diamond Estate, the Shaftesbury and the Morrison Building, and the comprehensive redevelopment (in severable phases) of the site to provide a total of 449 residential units of both private and affordable tenure in four apartment blocks ranging from three to five storeys high and nine three- storey townhouses; associated private and communal amenity space including balconies and gardens, 48 car parking spaces (including 13 disabled bays) and 817 cycle parking spaces; together with associated works including landscaping and public realm works, including an extension to the existing landscaped public park, creation of new access route from Lapidge Drive into the site, and provision of a new link to Streatham Cemetery.
This planning application was called in by the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Regeneration on 20 May 2024, meaning that the Mayor of London will now be responsible for deciding upon it instead of Wandsworth council, which resolved to refuse it in March 2024.
Following the Hearing, the Deputy Mayor resolved to grant planning permission subject to the conclusion of a S106 legal agreement.
