Plans in for Fifth State’s Bermondsey PBSA scheme

Fifth State has filed plans for a 477-bed student accommodation scheme in Bermondsey. The site, at Ilderton Wharf, 1-7 Rollins Street, SE15, is occupied by existing redundant builders’ merchant premises, which will be demolished if Fifth State’s proposals are approved. The plans also include the development of 79 affordable homes, along with flexible employment-generating industrial space, including affordable workspace. The scheme comprises a 27-storey residential tower, alongside a part-one, part-two and part-four-storey industrial building. The scheme was submitted to Southwark Council alongside Tide Construction’s updated plans for its nearby co-living development at 79-161 Ilderton Road, SE16, which it acquired from Wittington Investments. Fifth State was Wittington’s operational partner for the previously approved co-living scheme. Image © HTA Design
