Proposal

Non-material amendment of planning permission 25/AP/2241 dated 11.12.2025 for 'Cladding remediation and associated fire safety works comprising the replacement of existing combustible soffit insulation with non-combustible mineral wool insulation; removal of existing aluminium-faced cladding panels and installation of new aluminium-faced panels with a PPC finish to closely match the existing colour and appearance; replacement of existing timber balcony decking with non-combustible aluminium decking at all levels; enlargement of the service riser hatch at ground floor level (adjacent to the Tantallon House entrance); and, for Porchester House only, replacement of the existing external cladding system and fixed louvre vents with a like-for-like non-combustible unitised aluminium cladding system and vents, together with replacement of existing casement windows with new double-glazed aluminium casement windows to match the existing frame colour and fenestration.' NMA sought to amend the description of development to: 'Cladding remediation and associated fire safety works comprising the replacement of existing combustible soffit insulation with non-combustible mineral wool insulation; removal of existing aluminium-faced cladding panels and installation of new aluminium-faced panels with a PPC finish to closely match the existing colour and appearance; replacement of existing timber balcony decking with non-combustible aluminium decking at all levels; enlargement of the service riser hatch at ground floor level (adjacent to the Tantallon House entrance); and, for Porchester House only, replacement of the existing external cladding system with a like-for-like non-combustible aluminium cladding system' Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 14

Flood zone 3, rivers and sea
High chance: a 1 in 100 or greater annual chance from rivers, or 1 in 200 from the sea. Any development here needs a flood risk assessment. Defences are not counted.
The Environment Agency flood map for planning. Homes in zone 3 must also pass the sequential test. Surface water flooding is a separate map.
Flood map ↗
2 Article 4 directions
Central Activities Zone · Elephant and Castle Major Town Centre. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.
An Article 4 direction withdraws particular permitted development rights, so work that would normally need no application needs one here. Not every council has published its directions.
Tree preservation order: Elephant Park, Castle Square & South Gardens
Consent is needed before work on protected trees.
Not every council has published its orders as open data, so no order shown is not proof there is none.
Air quality management area: Southwark AQMA
The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.
Council record ↗
Town centre: Elephant and Castle/ Walworth Road
A designated centre in the London Plan.
Shops, services and active frontages are protected in centres, and main town centre uses are steered here first.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Central activities zone
The core of central London in the London Plan.
Offices, culture and the other strategic functions of the centre take priority over new housing here.
Opportunity area
Where the London Plan expects significant growth.
Boundaries are indicative and the borough holds the detailed plan.
Also on the record
National infrastructure project 1189 m away: Thames Tideway Tunnel; Wider setting of protected view 23A.1 Centre of Bridge over the Serpentine to the Palace of Westminster; Radon affected area, class 2; 1 listed building within 150 m; Inside the Southwark built-up area; Public transport access: PTAL 6b (excellent), TfL 2023, for the 100 m square.
Not affected
Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
