Show Fullscreen Lambeth council has approved Assael’s proposals for three towers above the new Nine Elms tube station Assael has cleared a planning hurdle for a £144m three-tower scheme above the new Nine Elms tube station five years after a similar Grimshaw-designed proposal on the site was approved. Lambeth council planning committee voted unanimously to approve the 479-home over-station development for Connected Living London (CLL) on Tuesday last week, subject to the completion of a section 106 agreement. The “slot-in” application is now due to head to the GLA for final sign-off. Assael’s scheme will almost entirely replace Grimshaw’s 332-home scheme for the site, which was given the go-ahead in March 2016, but aborted because of changes to an overlapping consented scheme.
