It is within walking distance of major cultural landmarks such as Thames Riverside, Borough Market, The Tate Modern, The Old and Young Vic Theatres and the City of London.

It has a North boundary with the internal Courtyard of DOUGLAS BUILDING the Douglas Buildings. BLOCK C The site area is circa 0.26 hectares.

The wider area mainly consists of residential buildings in a range of scale mainly around 5 storeys. There are several recently approved applications for new residential developments in the surrounding area that have been identified on the left, many of which being roof extensions. These applications provide a clear precedent of how existing sites can be optimized in a sustainable manner. Planning Application Design and Access Statement gml architects 7 November 2020 55 Lant Street, London 04.2 SITE ANALYSIS The site sits along the former route of Lant Street previously occupied by the Charles Dickens School, to the south. To the north, Peabody Douglas Buildings form an enclosed courtyard.

Given that the proposals set out here are for a 13-storey residential block south east of the site. a rooftop extension to an existing building, the risk The Rise housing on the corner of Lant Street and of flooding is not a material consideration.

Introduction “I have heard ancient men of good credit report that these single women were forbidden the rites of the church so long as they continued their sinful life and were excluded from Christian burial. And therefore, there was a plot of ground, called the single woman’s churchyard, appointed for them far from the parish church.” - John Stow’s Survey of London, 1598. “Sleep well, you winged spirits of intimate joy.” - Note taped to Cross Bone’s fence, 2011.

  • Historic Context
    Historic context Historical context Development of the site over time The proposals provide an opportunity to enhance the character and appearance of the area, and to preserve important views along Borough High Street. This area has experienced significant change over time, with particularly dramatic periods of development following the Great Fire of Southwark in 1676, the foundation of Guy’s Hospital in 1721, and the arrival of the railway at London Bridge in 1836. Today, the area’s rich history is poorly represented on this site by a collection of later buildings, most of which have no heritage value. In bringing forward these proposals, we are seeking to: • Reinforce the historic urban grain, creating a series of intimate and attractive spaces enclosed by architecture of the highest quality • Offer a considered and contextual response to the area’s established built form and palette of materials • Preserve the setting of the Grade I listed George Inn • Enhance public views through Borough High Street Conservation Area; including glimpsed views through the site The scheme has been informed by a detailed historical appraisal to ensure the proposals relate successfully to the historic environment and preserve the setting of heritage assets in the surrounding area.
