Vauxhall Square development
Lambeth Council's Planning Applications Committee has approved plans for the Vauxhall Square development, including 1,097 new homes.
Lambeth Council's Planning Applications Committee approved plans for the Vauxhall Square development in September 2026, which will feature a 69-storey building as the tallest structure. The mixed-use project, located south-west of Vauxhall Station, involves demolishing existing structures to build up to seven buildings, delivering 1,097 new homes.
Of the 1,097 new homes, 25% are designated as affordable housing, comprising 122 social rent homes and 120 discount market rent homes within the build-to-rent element. This percentage is a reduction from the previously required 35%, with officers citing the GLA's 'Support for housebuilding' London Plan Guidance as the reason for the departure from policy. The approved scheme also includes 1,164 co-living units and 699 student accommodation units.
