Leading property developer Galliard Homes has gained planning permission for a major regeneration scheme in Wimbledon, led by a 20,000-seater football stadium.

The 14-acre site off Plough Lane will be centred around the new home of AFC Wimbledon.

It will also include a mixed-use development with 602 mixed-tenure apartments, a 17,500 square foot fitness facility and a 13,700 square foot retail outlet.

Mike Watson, Planning & Development Director at Galliard Homes, said: “We are delighted to have received planning permission to redevelop this important brownfield site into a new multi-million sports-led destination for Wimbledon.

“This is the third sports stadium project that Galliard Homes has been involved in, the others being the Emirates Stadium and Upton Park.

“The new homes will include affordable housing for local people and will make a significant contribution towards Merton’s own minimum 10-year target for new homes and the regeneration of this part of Merton.”

The apartments will be set across three new buildings to the north, south and east of the stadium and will range from six to 10 storeys.
