Pocket Living is proposing to develop 35 homes for local first time buyers on the long term vacant site located to the rear of Nos. 47-49 Leigham Court Road. No. 49B Leigham Court Road will be used to provide access into the site.

The homes will be provided within a high quality, linear building that is set back from the site’s boundaries. The building would occupy 28% of the total site area allowing for a large area of landscaped garden to be introduced. The majority of existing trees will be maintained along the site’s boundaries and additional trees planted to ensure privacy and a positive outlook.

The proposed building is four storeys in height; it complements and sensitively integrates with the scale of existing built form including; Streatham Close and No. 45 South Lodge.

A 20 metre separation distance from windows serving existing residential accommodation has been provided in relation to the majority of properties which have an outlook in the direction of the site. The existing windows which are directly opposite the proposal in Streatham Close are located over 35 metres away.

Pocket Living is an investment partner of the Mayor of London and Leigham Court Road forms part of its programme with the Mayor to deliver an affordable homeownership offer for aspirant first time buyers.
