co-living development at 68-86 Clapham Road
Lambeth Council has approved the co-living development at 68-86 Clapham Road, which will include 134 co-living rooms.
Lambeth Council's Planning Applications Committee unanimously approved the co-living development at 68-86 Clapham Road in September 2026. The project will provide 134 co-living rooms and four self-contained homes, alongside an education facility, requiring the demolition of existing buildings on the site.
Concerns regarding the lack of affordable housing were addressed by the applicant's offer of a £1.4 million upfront contribution. Officers deemed this a better outcome than relying on an uncertain late-stage review, according to a report to the committee.
