Dubbed the West Site, the third and final phase cluster of high rises will replace the old London College of Communication student buildings, which are making way for a new University of the Arts London campus being built across the road.

The revised proposals include 507 rental homes with 165 set aside as affordable, alongside the introduction of 452 student beds to meet growing demand and a new public square.

Rick de Blaby, chief executive at Get Living, said: “We are pleased to submit our planning application for the final phase that better reflects local need while significantly enhancing the sustainability credentials.”

The updated plans follow community feedback and ditch some retail space in favour of more homes. They also bring architectural tweaks designed to better fit the area’s character and now a repurposed chunk of the existing college building will become a new cultural venue.

De Blaby said the West Site was set to come forward in early 2028 after LCC completes its move.

Get Living’s first phase, Elephant Central, opened in 2017 with 374 homes, 278 student rooms and a raft of commercial space.

The second phase, known as The Elephant, is due to open in 2026 with 485 homes and the new university building alongside shops, and restaurants.
