Next phase of Dockside Canada Water gets green light

Art-Invest Real Estate has received planning approval from Southwark Council for its detailed proposals for Dockside Canada Water’s Plot B. 

The plans include the developer bringing forward new student accommodation, affordable homes and community space. 

Art-Invest secured outline planning permission for the masterplan in March 2022. This planning application includes detailed plans for the Dockside Canada Water masterplan; Plot A and Plot B, but focuses only on the updated proposals for Plot B.

The proposals for Plot A remain unchanged from the detailed planning application approved by Southwark Council in September 2023.

Plot B, designed by TP Bennett, comprises two residential-led buildings and will bring forward 742 student rooms and 75 affordable homes, with a mix of social rents and intermediate tenures.

Plot A, which incorporates One Dockside and Two Dockside, will deliver more than 700,000 sq ft of grade-A office space.

Luka Vukotic, head of development at Art-Invest Real Estate UK, said: “Canada Water is one of London’s largest redevelopment projects and it is rapidly taking shape. Dockside plays a crucial role in its development, by bringing exceptional workspace, a high-quality residential offer and public realm that has wellbeing for local people and the future workforce at its heart. It is fantastic to secure a positive decision from Southwark’s planning committee as it completes our vision for Dockside Canada Water and allows us to focus on delivery.”
