The ground floor proposes entrances to the residential units on the upper floors and provides retail uses. The residential uses occupy floors 8-48, which would be a mix of private (119 units) and shared ownership units (16). 4.4 The Vauxhall Square South building would be 50 storeys (168m). The ground floor proposes retail uses and a residential entrance. Floors 1-9 would accommodate a suite hotel which would comprise 123 suites. The residential use would be situated on floors 10-50. Both towers would measure 168m. 4.5 In each tower, a double height intermediate podium level space has been included as a shared amenity for the residents. The use of this area has not been confirmed by the applicant, however, they have stated that this area could potentially be used for a soft play games area for young children, residents club gym, games room and community event/ meeting spaces. This area is situated on floors eight and nine in Vauxhall Square North and opens out onto a large shared residential roof garden space located across the roof of the office building. Within Vauxhall Square South the shared amenity space is situated on floors ten and eleven. 4.6 Vauxhall Square North and South buildings are the tallest elements of the development. The two towers are articulated by horizontal bands of reconstituted stone at floor levels. These bands project by 400mm from the face of the tower. Between each band a series of reconstituted stone fins provide the vertical emphasis. The fins are 110mm thick and 250mm deep and sit forward of the glass layer set behind. Behind the stone layer, a glass surface would be installed. There would be subdivisions with opening windows and the glass panels would be either clear or opaque. At the top of each glass panel a small band of metal louvres provide ventilation to the interior of the flats. 4.7 Each of the towers would have a connection to adjoining buildings. The North tower would adjoin the west office building and the South tower would adjoin the east office building. 4.8 Vauxhall Square East: Vauxhall Square East building would be erected to 11-storeys in height. This building is formed of two buildings, Vauxhall Square East Hotel to the north and Vauxhall Square East Office to the south. Vauxhall Square East as a pair of

uildings forms the eastern edge of Vauxhall Square and new west elevation to Bondway. 4.9 The Vauxhall Square East office provides office accommodation enables access to the cinema along with the shared service yard from Bondway. Access to these facilities off Bondway keeps the centre of the site free of traffic. 4.10 The hotel accommodation proposes a mid-market 3 to 4 star hotel with a total of 278 bedrooms laid out over the ground floor, mezzanine plus 9 upper storeys. At least 10% of these rooms would be wheelchair accessible and six rooms are envisaged as larger family/ suite rooms. The floor area of the hotel would be approximately 13,624sqm GIA. 4.11 The entrance to the office is from the covered passage between the hotel and office. The office café is accessible from the office entrance lobby and provides an active frontage to Bondway. The service yard and cinema entrance occupy most of the ground floor of the office building. 4.12 The cinema, located at the south end of Vauxhall Square East addresses Vauxhall Square and is visible on approach from the Vauxhall Transport Interchange. The proposed cinema would have a total of four screens, extending some 3,777sqm, including a ground floor level entrance onto Vauxhall Square. 4.13 The proposed building would be constructed from brick and reconstituted stone. This would be complimented by transparent glass with metal hidden frames, slotted metal panels, metal louvres and shading devices. 4.14 Vauxhall Square West: This building would be erected 9 storeys, which would provide a mixture of retail facilities on the ground and mezzanine floor levels, with the remaining seven floors used as office accommodation (Use Class B1). The building forms the west side of the development, that turns the corner from Parry Street into Wandsworth Road. The office accommodation can be split up into a maximum of three tenancies. This building would provide a total of 12,850sqm GIA. Access to the offices would be through a central lift lobby accommodating four passenger lifts, toilets and riser space. 4.15 The application proposes two three-storey ‘bookend’ pavilion buildings, which would be positioned off Wandsworth Road, which would create an entrance into the development and also reinforcing a strong pedestrian route through the site and delivering activity to Vauxhall Square. The ‘bookend’ building would integrate the listed terrace into the scheme layout. Active frontages would be proposed within these buildings. 4.16 The elevations of the office building would be composed of white reconstituted stone panels with horizontal bands which would match the existing appearance of the two towers. Between the stone frame there would be glazing and aluminium fins projecting forwards in each three metre bay.
