Orsett Street

The Orsett Street site is located within the Vauxhall Garden Estate, sitting along Vauxhall Street in between Orsett Street and Sancroft Street. It currently contains a temporary construction compound, carpark and grassed area with mature trees. 

The site containing the Carmelita Centre (Jonathan Street)

The site on Jonathan Street that contains the Carmelita Centre is also located within the Vauxhall Garden Estate. It sits at the corner of Vauxhall Walk and Jonathan Street and sits to the south west of Hayman's Point. It currently contains a single story porta-cabin that contains the existing community centre. An area of lawn space and forecourt to the community centre is also within the site boundary.

Homes for Lambeth are delivering both of these sites together as part of one planning application. The site on Jonathan Street, containing the Carmelita Centre, will deliver a fully affordable scheme, whilst the Orsett Street site will deliver homes at market sale. This is to increase the overall amount of affordable housing provision across the two sites.
