Wandsworth has announced its growth plan, which includes the construction of up to 14,400 new homes over the next decade. Specific allocations include 8,400 homes in Nine Elms, 3,000 in Clapham Junction, and 3,000 in Wandsworth Town, with a focus on affordable housing for locals. The initiative also promises to enhance transportation options around key stations. The existing 'Homes for Wandsworth' program is progressing, having built over 600 homes since late 2024 and aiming for an additional 1,000 by 2029.
The southwest London borough has unveiled its 'growth plan', mapping out its new 'growth corridor' - an area that has been specifically designed to boost economic development and population growth.
The plan highlights the capacity for 8,400 new homes to Nine Elms, 3,000 to Clapham Junction and 3,000 to Wandsworth Town, with the council pledging to prioritise 'genuinely affordable homes for local people'.
Howard Dawber stated, 'With strong existing infrastructure and real assets, including the UK's busiest interchange at Clapham Junction, Wandsworth has a major role to play in unlocking the inclusive and sustainable growth we need to see across London over the next decade.'
There is already a 'Homes for Wandsworth' programme underway, which has seen more than 600 homes built in the area since November 2024 and is on track for 1,000 new council homes in the area by 2029.
