Draft Old Kent Road Area Action Plan 2024

We are consulting on the Old Kent Road Area Action Plan (AAP), this is the submission draft (Regulation 19 consultation).

The plan will guide and manage new development and growth in the area over the next 20 years. The plan aims to create a new high street environment for the Old Kent Road, with significant public transport improvements supported by mixed use development behind the road. This will incorporate around 20,000 new homes, including affordable homes, 10,000 new jobs, community facilities and new parks. The plan includes the potential for extending the Bakerloo Line from Elephant and Castle towards Lewisham with new stations along the Old Kent Road. The Area Action Plan (AAP) will be used to make planning decisions in the area and to coordinate and deliver the regeneration strategy.
