Bauhaus block above Southwark Station gets green light

A joint venture between Places for London and developer Helical has received a resolution to grant planning approval from the London Borough of Southwark for a 15 storey student accommodation scheme and an adjacent nine storey affordable housing block above Southwark Tube station.
The development designed by architects AHMM will include a new Bauhaus-inspired block which will house the student element.
The site previously had planning permission for a 220,000 sq ft office scheme.Scott Anderson,
