The KFC site lies in the Old Kent Road Opportunity Area, an area proposing significant regeneration, poised to deliver 20,000 new homes and 10,000 new jobs over the next 10-20 years.
The Opportunity Area also proposes an extension of the Bakerloo Line that will provide two new underground stations along Old Kent Road by 2030. The closest will be a three-minute walk from the site and will provide direct services to Oxford Circus in 14 minutes.
In addition to the proposed Bakerloo Line Extension (BLE), funding has been secured for capacity improvements to the East London Line, which will result in a new station at Surrey Canal Road (known as “New Bermondsey”) just across the Borough boundary in LB Lewisham, within walking distance of the KFC site. It is expected to be open in 2023, much earlier than the BLE, which will significantly improve the accessibility of this part of the Old Kent Road.
Close to the KFC site there have been a number of significant planning applications that have planning approval:
- Avanton obtained planning permission for the Ruby Triangle site in October 2018 for a mixed-use scheme of five buildings containing 1,152 homes with maximum heights of 17, 40 and 48 storeys together with a new community sports hall and fitness centre, new connections and open space including a public park, flexible commercial space including incubator workspace and studios for local entrepreneurs.
- Avanton & Urban & Provincial obtained approval in June 2020 at the Carpetright site (651 Old Kent Road) for 262 homes ad 20,000 sqft. of office space.
- Acorn Commercial obtained planning approval in November 2019 for a mixed use scheme on the land between Ruby Street, Murdock Street and the Old Kent Road to create 111 new homes and 2,000 sqm of workspace, retail and café uses and the re-provision of the existing church and community facility.
