Former Crown Court to Become Student Housing & Social Rent Homes
Update: 2025-12-04
Description
Former Crown Court in London to Transform into Student Housing and Social Rent Homes: A historic building on Pocock Street, once a printworks and later Blackfriars Crown Court, is set for demolition to make way for six hundred student homes and seventy-one social rent units. The proposal, recommended for approval, includes studios, premium studios, accessible studios, and shared cluster flats, along with numerous communal spaces and a publicly accessible café. Despite two objections, the planning officer deems the student housing appropriate and the forty percent affordable housing offer significant. The Southwark Councils Planning Committee will decide next week.
