Plans to construct a 20-storey and 17-storey tower along Brixton Station Road threaten the demolition of the community initiative, Pop Brixton. This spot hosts various local vendors and music events but has been operating at a loss. Proposed developments include around 280 new homes, with at least 40% categorized as affordable. Lambeth Council is currently conducting a public consultation, stating they are 'testing the waters' for these developments, both deemed suitable for tall buildings despite a history of local opposition to such structures.
Pop Brixton, a vibrant community-driven initiative in South London, risks demolition under proposed tall tower developments along Brixton Station Road, threatening local businesses and culture.
The plans involve the construction of a 20-storey and 17-storey tower, along with a 14-storey residential block, aiming to provide 280 new homes, with 40% deemed affordable.
The proposals have met local opposition historically, as seen with the canceled Hondo Tower project in 2023, indicating community resistance to high-rise buildings.
Lambeth Council has stated that they are currently 'testing the waters' regarding the new plans, with a public consultation in place for community feedback until late 2025.
