redevelopment of Roehampton Library and its surrounding area
Wandsworth Council has approved plans for the redevelopment of Roehampton Library, including 55 new affordable homes and a community hub.
Wandsworth Council's Planning Applications Committee approved the redevelopment of Roehampton Library and its surrounding area in March 2026, paving the way for 55 new affordable homes. The project also includes a new community hub, youth centre, council offices, and a healthcare facility.
The hybrid planning application, approved on March 12, 2026, involves the demolition of existing buildings on Roehampton Lane, Danebury Avenue, and Holybourne Avenue. These will be replaced by two new buildings, with a nine-storey residential building providing the 55 affordable homes, all designated for social rent.
The approval granted by Wandsworth Council's Planning Applications Committee allows the project to proceed with the construction of these new facilities. No further council discussions or decisions regarding this redevelopment are currently scheduled.
