4.17 A three-storey linear building to the south of Vauxhall Square West is proposed creating an active frontage to its south elevation. A twelve metre wide pedestrian ‘street’ would be formed, creating an approach into Vauxhall Square. 4.18 The proposed roofscape of the Vauxhall Square West building would provide a large communal garden accessible from Vauxhall Square North for residents use. There would also be smaller roof terraces overlooking the square, accessible from the office areas at floors 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. The communal space would provide a multi-functional amenity space within a sheltering, green envelop of hedges, trees and herbaceous borders. 4.19 Miles Street South: This building would be erected to a total height of 29-storeys. This building would provide 359 student rooms, plus shared lobby/ lounges and service spaces. This area would equate to a total area of 11, 960sqm GIA. Entrance to the building would be along Miles Street. 4.20 This building would be constructed from simple palette of robust materials, predominately brick and reconstituted stone. There would be the installation of transparent/ opaque glass back layers with metal hidden frames, slotted metal panels and metal louvres. 4.21 The proposed roof terrace, would comprise of both hard and soft materials to provide a multi-functional amenity space. 4.22 Wendle Court: Wendle Court forms the southern building of the Vauxhall Square development. It is located adjacent to Wandsworth Road, to the south of the Cable and Wireless site and has a railway viaduct curving around the east/ south. This building would be part 10, part 21 storeys in height. This building would comprise of an affordable housing block and hostel accommodation. 4.23 The affordable housing block would be to an overall height of 21-storeys. This would provide a total of 94 residential flats which would be a mixture of affordable rent units and shared ownership. 4.24 The proposed hostel block which would be 10-sotreys in height would provide a total of 40 bedrooms. This building would replace Graham House which is currently situated on the site. Some of the bedrooms would be provided with en-suite facilities. 4.25 Both uses would have their own separate access points, neither would be mixed. This would provide clear separation of the uses. The affordable housing block would be accessed from Wandsworth Road with the hostel accommodation accessed from the New Lane. Cycle storage and disabled parking would be provided. 4.26 The two cladding materials for Wendle Court are based on adopting the same
language as other parts of the Vauxhall Square proposals. The elevation of the taller affordable housing block would be formed of reconstituted stone. Although the two uses are differentiated by the elevational treatment the whole building itself is integrated by the consistent window modules and the horizontal reconstituted stone elements. 4.27 Winter gardens for each residential unit provide private amenity space and are predominately located on the corners. Roof terraces are provided at the two upper levels to provide shared amenity space for residents. 4.28 Listed Terrace and Pavilion: The existing six terrace houses, fronting on Wandsworth Road, would be retained. Towards the rear of these buildings there would be children’s playspace and adjacent to this there would be single-storey community pavilion, with the entrance frontage onto Miles Street. 4.29 Landscaping: The proposed development provides a multi-functional central square, which would be designed to cater for a number of uses. This would provide the focal point to the development and provides a link to the Linear Park. Vauxhall Square comprises of two large triangular grassed areas which would provide areas of outdoor amenity space, these areas have been designated as zones by the applicant for “relaxing, meeting, playing and potentially performance and entertainment”. 4.30 The function of the area would provide an integral part of the public realm offer associated with the application. However, the design and access statement has stated that this area would also promote directional movement throughout the site and attract individual to the proposed uses associated with the application. The proposed uses within the square would be cafes, restaurants, offices, shops, cinema and hotel. There would be public realm furniture which would involve the installation of benches and planting of grassed areas, which would provide breakout areas, during the “morning, lunchtime, and afternoon”. 4.31 The surface materials would be varied within the square. The majority of the hardstanding would be paved with brick strips. There would be a diverse planting strategy for the area, which would involve the planting of trees, amenity grass areas and mixed planting beds. 4.32 There would be the planting of eleven replacement trees proposed along Wandsworth Road and on the corner of Wandsworth Road and Parry Street. The tree species would be London Plane. Along Bondway there would be further twelve trees, which would breakup the façade of the two proposed buildings. The proposed trees used here would be Fastigiate Hornbeams. A green wall would be proposed along Bondway on the east ‘open’ elevation of the hotel building adjacent to the basement vehicle ramp at ground floor level. 4.33 Miles Street and Miles Street Square would be a mixture of granite setts along the shared surface area of Miles Street with paving orientation to be directional
