Get Living submits proposal for final phase of £1.5bn Elephant and Castle regen
Get Living has submitted revised proposals for the final phase of its Elephant and Castle town centre transformation.
The West Site sits alongside The Elephant, the second phase of the scheme, which will provide 485 homes, restaurants, shops, leisure and cultural facilities, a new university campus, workspace, improved transport infrastructure, including a new Underground station, and public square.
The updated plans for the West Site were submitted to Southwark Council this month and form the third phase of Get Living’s £1.5bn regeneration of the town centre.

The West Site sits alongside The Elephant, the second phase of the scheme, which will provide 485 homes, restaurants, shops, leisure and cultural facilities, a new university campus, workspace, improved transport infrastructure, including a new Underground station, and public square.
The updated plans for the West Site were submitted to Southwark Council this month and form the third phase of Get Living’s £1.5bn regeneration of the town centre.
Building on the 2019 masterplan, the revisions introduce 452 student accommodation beds.
Get Living started its public consultation on the change in planning in August 2024.
In response to community feedback, retail space on the first floor facing Pastor Street has been replaced with nine homes, increasing the total number of homes to 507, of which 165 are affordable.
The West Site will become available for redevelopment in early 2028, following the relocation of the London College of Communication to its newcampus building next door at The Elephant.
Rick de Blaby, chief executive of Get Living, said: “Elephant and Castle has always been a place where cultures, commerce and communities converge and we are working hard to honour that legacy as we continue the extraordinary transformation.
“We are pleased to submit our planning application for the final phase that better reflects local need while significantly enhancing the sustainability credentials.
“Alongside our work on the West Site, our vision for the second phase of The Elephant is quickly becoming a reality and we are progressing some very exciting conversations with both well-known brands and unique independents, which will be opening their doors when the scheme launches in 2026.
“As long-term stakeholders, we are committed to delivering a new meeting place where people can come together to live, work and socialise, delivering much-needed homes, including affordable homes, student accommodation and vibrant public spaces that bring energy and opportunity to the area.”
