Project
Leigham Court Road receives planning consent

Posted on 25 November 2025

Our Leigham Court Road project for Pocket Living has received planning consent from the London Borough of Lambeth. The redevelopment will provide 92 new build to rent homes, with half designated as affordable housing, alongside new community facilities and commercial space.

The design bridges the character of Streatham High Street from the town centre to its residential surroundings. A new community and commercial building will form an active frontage on Leigham Court Road and act as a gateway to three new residential buildings set within generous shared landscaping.

Part of the site lies within a conservation area behind grand 19th century villas on land that historically formed their extensive formal gardens. Inspired by this context, the design creates a journey of gradual discovery, evoking the sense of a secret garden and opening into an unexpected retreat with buildings nestled amongst greenery. Rich and varied brick tones, pastel coloured detailing and metalwork echo the textures and colours of English walled gardens.

The homes range from one bed apartments to family sized homes offered at social rent. Amenities such as shared gardens, a roof terrace and flexible co working spaces are designed to foster a strong sense of community and connection among residents.

This approval unlocks the potential of a forgotten and fragmented site in Streatham and enables the densification of this well-connected location, transforming it into a welcoming and sustainable new place to live that will support the local high street and community.

Thank you to Pocket Living and the fantastic project team for bringing this vision forward. We look forward to delivering much needed homes and community infrastructure for Streatham.
