Lend Lease has lodged a planning application for its £1.5bn regeneration of Elephant & Castle.
An outline planning application has been submitted to Southwark council today for a 2,500-home scheme on the site of the Heygate Estate.The scheme also includes shops, restaurants, community facilities and London's biggest new park in 70 years.
Lend Lease's EMEA managing director for development, Mark Dickinson, said: "Elephant &
Castle is one of Europe's most exciting regeneration projects. London desperately needs new homes and Lend Lease is proud to be playing a part in helping the capital to meet the growing demand."
Southwark council's cabinet member for regeneration, Fiona Colley, said: "We welcome the
planning application, which will be considered by the council's planning committee, making
further steps towards the long-awaited vision for the area that residents look forward to seeing become a reality."
The first phase of construction is expected to begin in 2013, subject to planning permission being granted.
