At the Inquiry, the Inspector concluded that in both principle and policy terms, the Ram Brewery site is a suitable location for tall buildings. A predominantly residential tower is proposed on the Capital Studios site. The triangular form responds to the orientation of the site and gives a slender appearance on the skyline. The tower is located further west to reduce its impact on the view of the church when viewed from West Hill. When viewed from Barchard Street, the scale of the new buildings proposed in the foreground help to contain the space at street level. Across the main brewery site, residential apartments are spread out across the site.

Lifestyle

The Ram Brewery development opens up 6.5 acres that is currently private land. This provides an opportunity to create public spaces at the heart of Wandsworth, similar in nature to other London developments such as Duke of York Square, St Christopher’s Place and Covent Garden.

• A defined market and event area will be incorporated in front of the heritage buildings at the south of the site
• High quality restaurants and bars will be located across the site and particularly within the restored heritage buildings and along the river frontage. This will promote activity during the daytime as well in the evening
• High quality retail units within the site will complement, rather than compete with the nearby Southside Centre.
