Lambeth Council Pushes Brixton Regeneration Forward With Two Major Sites

Lambeth Council plans a regeneration scheme at 49 Brixton Station Road and 6 Canterbury Crescent to deliver around 280 new homes, with 40% affordable, alongside workspace and market infrastructure. The next phase centres on community engagement that runs from June to September 2026, followed by a planning application later this year.

The timing matters because the council has already designated Brixton Village and Market Row as an Asset of Community Value, which gives residents formal rights to consider buying the site if it comes up for sale. This status intersects with the regeneration plans, so decisions on housing numbers, workspace layout and market facilities will affect how that community right is exercised in practice.

Engagement process and venues

Public events and workshops for the Brixton Town Centre regeneration will be led by AND London. Sessions are scheduled across the summer at locations tied to the town centre, giving residents direct input on the mix of homes, workspace and market infrastructure before the formal planning stage begins. The process covers the specific sites at 49 Brixton Station Road and 6 Canterbury Crescent, where the council has set the target of around 280 homes.

Decisions that follow the engagement window

After September 2026 the council will review feedback and decide whether to submit the planning application. Key choices include finalising the proportion of affordable homes at the 40% level already stated, confirming the scale of workspace and market infrastructure, and determining how the Asset of Community Value designation for Brixton Village and Market Row is handled alongside the new development. Earlier withdrawal of a separate 20-storey office tower proposal by developer Hondo shows that public meetings and council approvals can still shift outcomes before final decisions are locked in.

Residents can track updates through the council’s published engagement timetable and attend the scheduled workshops run by AND London to register views on the sites at 49 Brixton Station Road and 6 Canterbury Crescent. The planning application later this year will set the concrete parameters for delivery.
