Go ahead for Attic Self Storage facility in Battersea

Attic Self Storage, advised by Montagu Evans, has been given the go ahead by London Borough of Lambeth’s planning committee to develop self-storage at its new site in Battersea, which is part of its growing London portfolio.

Located on Clyston Street, part of an established industrial area off the Wandsworth Road, Attic’s twelfth site will provide over 6,000 sqm of self-storage space in a 4-6 storey building, with ancillary office accommodation, car parking and cycle parking. Renewable energy, a green roof and sustainable drainage measures are all part of the design, which will integrate with the surrounding area and target BREEAM Excellent.

Established in 2008, Attic Self Storage currently operates eight modern self-storage stores across London for a range of business and personal storage uses. A further three are under construction.

Robin Vaughan, Development Director, Attic Self Storage, said: “We are delighted to have secured planning permission for Attic Battersea. This outcome is a reflection of the hard work and collaboration between our planning partners, Lambeth Council and the Attic team.  We are proud to be able to play a part in the redevelopment of this area of Lambeth and the provision of high-quality self-storage to cater for the growing needs of local residents.”   

Montagu Evans was the planning consultant for the scheme and also provided Townscape and socio-economic advice for the application.

Kirill Malkin, Partner lead and industrial & logistics planning specialist at Montagu Evans, said: “This is an important strategic location for Attic responding to growing London-wide demand. The plans will revitalise an underused brownfield site with a sustainable, high-quality facility that responds to and integrates with the surrounding area, and meets the identified local need. The approved proposals reflect Attic’s positive and collaborative approach in working with the Council to deliver an exemplar development.”
