British Land has submitted Allies & Morrison-masterplanned designs for its £3bn Canada Water scheme to Southwark council.

The developer, which has also entered into a development agreement with the council, has submitted an outline planning application for the 53-acre masterplan, and detailed planning application for the project’s first three buildings - one of them designed by Duggan Morris.  

These three buildings - which include workspace, 250 homes, around a third of which will be “affordable”, and a new leisure centre - are part of a major first phase of the development, which has a value of more than £700m.
