A scheme by Farrells to turn a former carpet warehouse on south London鈥檚 Old Kent Road into homes and offices has been given the green light.

The scheme (pictured), which Avanton said has a development value of 拢130m, will comprise two towers of 10 and 19 storeys.

Work is due to start on site early next year ahead of completion at the end of 2022.

It is the third scheme in Avanton鈥檚 拢800m regeneration plan of the area which will see more than 2,000 homes built and is part of the council鈥檚 wider 拢11bn makeover for the Old Kent Road.
