Pocket Living<\/a> has received planning permission to deliver 35 one-bedroom Pocket homes in Lambeth for first-time buyers<\/h2>\n

Pocket Living aims is to help young middle-earning people living in London to own an affordable home with the delivery of 35 Pocket homes along Leigham Court Road, available exclusively to first-time buyers.<\/p>\n

To be eligible for the scheme, buyers must either live or work in Lambeth<\/a> and earn under the Mayor of London\u2019s income threshold for affordable housing.<\/a><\/p>\n

The properties will be available at a minimum of a 20% discount to the local market and purchasers own 100% of their property.<\/p>\n

Located within walking distance of Streatham Hill Station, the car-free development, designed by Bell Phillips Architects, will offer a high-quality design in keeping with the surrounding architecture.<\/p>\n

Making use of a previously underused area of open space, the proposals will occupy only 28% of the area, offering enhanced amenity space to residents, as well as biodiversity gains.<\/p>\n

According to Pocket Living\u2019s research, these discounted homes could price in up to 30,000 local key workers who would otherwise be unable to afford a home within the Borough.<\/p>\n

‘Much-needed discounted homes’<\/h3>\n

Nick Cuff, chief commercial officer at Pocket Living, comments:<\/p>\n

“The Borough of Lambeth has a rich history of successful urban infill development and we are delighted that we will be bringing much-needed discounted homes to Leigham Court Road.<\/p>\n

“Over the last seven years, we have already provided 125 Pocket homes within the Borough and the delivery of Leigham Court Road will allow us to continue to provide high-quality apartments for first-time buyers looking to get their foot on the ladder in their local area.”<\/p>\n

Tim Bell, director at Bell Phillips Architects, comments: “It is fantastic news that Leigham Court Road has been granted consent.<\/p>\n

“The building will sit within a garden designed by BD Landscape Architects, and this greenery will permeate the building through the ground floor entrance courtyard and stair which is articulated to dapple sunlight.<\/p>\n

“It will be a beautiful development to call home and we very much look forward to seeing it built.”<\/p>\n
