Masterplan for the Verney Road area of Southwark’s award-winning Area Action Plan for the Old Kent Road
Stitch was commissioned to develop the masterplan for Opportunity Site OKR13, between Verney Road and Sandgate street, which lies at the heart of the Old Kent Road regeneration area. Our masterplan fed into the wider AAP which is a blueprint for a genuinely mixed-use new town centre for London. Stitch has been retained by the council to revise and amend the masterplan in response to consultation and stakeholder developments.
Through extensive consultation with stakeholders, the masterplan brings together over 20 different sites across 14.6ha of existing industrial and commercial land to create a comprehensive vision for a new high-density mixed-use neighbourhood that prioritises the reprovision of commercial and industrial space in a range of innovative building typologies.
A new linear park and strong green infrastructure throughout the plan will connect new development to the local neighbourhood. At the heart of the plan a new secondary school will ensure existing residential communities benefit from the regeneration of this area.
