SevenCapital have submitted a planning application for the residential-led redevelopment of the iconic Archway Campus site. The site has remained vacant for over a decade and our planning application underpins our commitment to delivering lasting change within the London Borough of Islington.​

​

Our development proposals have been developed following a productive consultation process and look to deliver a scheme that will preserve the rich heritage of the site, help to alleviate local housing need and provide new, publicly accessible spaces, creating a positive impact for the local area.

​

We have developed our design in consultation with the London Borough of Islington, local residents and other key stakeholder groups for almost two years. Following our February and June 2023 consultation events and subsequent correspondence with the local authority and other interested parties, we are delighted to have submitted a planning application for our development proposals.

​​​

The plans shall provide a residential-led mixed-use development of this historic site. The proposals involve the restoration of the heritage assets of the site, which are identified by Historic England as part of their Heritage at Risk Register, to bring them back into positive and meaningful use. These key heritage assets are to be developed alongside high quality new build housing, which shall provide a total of 178 much needed new homes. We are committed to providing 50% of these new homes as genuinely affordable housing. Student housing and commercial uses will also be delivered alongside new and enhanced landscaping and pedestrian connections.

​

Our application has been submitted and is currently pending validation with the London Borough of Islington. We will provide an update, along with the application number, once the validation process is complete.
