Developer City & Provincial Properties has received planning permission from Lewisham Council for a £200m mixed-use development in Deptford, South London.

The 4.5ha development, designed by Hawkins/Brown and called The Wharves, includes nearly 1,000 homes and over 100,000ft² of retail, workshops and leisure space.

Part of the development involves re-excavating an old canal route at the site and building an 18-storey residential tower.

Work on the project is expected to start by the end of 2012.
