Squire & Partners wins planning for 16

The council’s planning committee voted unanimously in favour of the 32,900m2

The council's planning committee voted unanimously in favour of the 32,900m2 scheme for developer Workspace Group at a meeting last week (24 May). Avison Young were planning consultant.

The development of 5-7 Havelock Terrace will create 28,500m2 of office space and 4,150m2 of light industrial space.

The project includes micro and small units for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), dispersed throughout, with shared communal and breakout spaces on each floor.

Light industrial floorspace is located at ground, mezzanine and first floor level with the office spaces and SME units located above.

The double-height ground-level units will have direct street access and their own separate front doors.

A communal roof terrace and rooftop plant enclosure will sit on top of the scheme, which features cafés on the ground and 16th floors.

Cycling facilities have been earmarked for the basement space and a mezzanine area.

Squire & Partners’ approved design for Havelock Terrace

The red brick façade, which the team says was inspired by the surrounding industrial heritage and nearby Battersea Power Station, steps back on its upper floors to create terraces.

Recommending the scheme, Wandsworth's planning officer said it would deliver ‘new employment floorspace’ and a ‘greatly improved public realm’ on Palmerston Way and Havelock Terrace in particular.

Two buildings will be demolished to make way for Squire & Partners’ building. Both are three-storey 1970s industrial buildings which the architects said were ‘dated and comprise poor quality light industrial and office space’.

The scheme is aiming for a BREEAM rating of Outstanding.
