nimtim architects have secured planning approval for a new mixed-use development in Peckham. The proposed new building occupies a complex urban infill site that currently comprises an existing shop unit and ex-industrial site. The scheme covering two complex infill sites includes 5 apartments above a proposed butcher’s shop and warehouse. The scheme is one of the first to be approved within the Old Kent Road Opportunity Area. The Old Kent Road Action Plan is to be formally adopted in early 2019 and nimtim consulted extensively with Southwark’s development and design team to ensure that the proposal conforms with the ambitions and design guidance of the new masterplan.
