luxury, and a comfortable, new place to live. All of the homes in the development
have been built to the latest housing standards, and are as efficient as possible, with thermal insulation, double-glazing and ventilation. Alongside the homes, the area was
carefully designed to work within an existing community by enriching and enhancing the area as a whole, with a newly created garden square and landscaped streets integrated into the high-density scheme. “The new design increased site
permeability and accessibility, with navigation paths through the park and to neighbouring streets creating safe pedestrian routes,” said the MD. “The new amenities and green spaces benefit residents of Lollard Street, as well as those from the surrounding estates.”

Peck, described Lollard Street as “the new benchmark for affordable homes in the borough,” and the Ethelred Nursery has greatly benefitted from a high quality purpose-built building. Howard concluded on the success of
the scheme, and its intended legacy: “Lollard Street can be seen as a template for how developers in London can create off-site affordable housing to satisfy planning agreements – in this case Lollard Street supports Canary Wharf Group and Qatari Diar’s development of Southbank Place. “Rolling out this delivery model
across London could deliver many more genuinely affordable homes to be owned and managed by local authorities, in addition to a wider range of public benefits.” The proceeds of the 19 units for private
sale will support the construction of more council level rent homes via Homes for Lambeth. The private sale properties will start from £485,000, with Help to Buy available.
