Developers to consult Myatt’s Fields residents about “co-living” proposal.

Plans have been unveiled to build a large block of what the developers call “high quality” accommodation for short-term lets.

The developers, InHouse, want to construct a five-storey block of 160 units on the corner of Cancell Rd and Elliott Road, next to the new Patmos Lodge site.

The development will include facilities including a gym, social areas and a roof garden. The accommodation, mostly small self-contained flats, will be offered for rent on short leases — three months or longer — to people attracted to the idea of communal living.

A public consultation session has been arranged at St John the Divine, 92 Vassall Rd, London, SW9 6JA on 27th February 2025 between 5pm – 7.30pm, supported by a document outlining the proposal.

Local councillors, who intend to respond to the consultation, are also asking for residents’ views: you can contact them here.

New council rent homes near the old Patmos Lodge site “to be completed in less than a year”

Nineteen new council rent homes on the site of a former care home in Myatt’s Fields will be completed in the Spring, according to Lambeth Council.

The development on Cancell Road will include two four-storey buildings and five terraced two-storey houses, together with associated cycle parking and green landscaping. Besides the 19 new council homes for families on the borough’s housing waiting list, 12 homes are being built for private sale.

The Council will consult with the community about the names for the new blocks, which take the place of the vacant Patmos Lodge care home, shortly.

In addition, the contractor building the homes for Lambeth, Stack London, has teamed up with a training provider which offers employment courses, employment opportunities and careers advice to unemployed 16 to 24-year-olds. This is aimed at anyone who wants a career in the construction industry. If any resident would like any more information regarding this, please email rlo@stacklondon.co.uk
