"Vauxhall Square" and Linear Walk Proposals

Vauxhall-based property company CLS Holdings have announced proposals for the redevelopment of the site bounded by Bondway, Parry Street, Wandsworth Road, and Miles Street, and for the construction of a 'Linear Walk' through the centre of Vauxhall.

The developer's proposals include two residential towers, approximately 40 storeys in height, 200,000 sq ft of offices, 80,000 sq ft of retail, a 300-bed hotel, 240-bed student housing and a six-screen cinema, with the creation of a public square.

The linear walk would be a landscaped walkway that connects the proposed Vauxhall Square with the station, Albert Embankment, and the proposed developments in Nine Elms and Battersea.

The proposals are in an early stage, and the developer plans to submit a planning application late this year. In the meantime, the developer has created a website with their proposals, at http://www.vauxhallsquare.co.uk/ and will be holding a public consultation next weekend, to which all are welcome:

Date:
Friday 11 February, 10:30 - 20:00
Satuday 12 February, 10:00 - 14:00

Venue:
19th Floor, Market Towers, 1 Nine Elms Lane

Market Towers is the building on the corner of Wandsworth Road and Nine Elms Lane, opposite Lassco and Cap Gemini. As well as having the opportunity to inspect the plans, use the opportunity to make the most of the spectacular views of South London.

These plans represent a significant redevelopment of a three-acre site, as well as quite radical proposals for the urban environment of Vauxhall - please do also let us know either via the comments box below, or by email, as to what you think.
