Loughborough Junction Plan Visual Index of Projects To achieve the LJP vision, a bank of potential projects have been identified that could be delivered in the short, medium and long-term. These projects are illustrated here.
MASTERPLAN Loughborough Yards • Loughborough Junction’s railway network has given the area a number of unique yards, bridges and passageways. • Seven core projects have been identified, each containing a run of railway arches and at least one development opportunity.
Station Yard
• The grouping of the improvement works into seven projects is intended to offer multiple ways in which redevelopment can be bought forward by Lambeth Council or by private funding. For example, the yard can be developed as whole project, or the lighting across all yards can be prioritised.

Key routes have been identified to connect schools, local amenities and the wider area. Each route will be improved through enhancements to the public realm.
• These will act to build identity within the community, activate the key routes into Loughborough Junction and to tie the different neighbourhoods together through shared community facilities. • These projects will specifically target the creation, refurbishment and enhancement of community facilities and public realm. Opportunities for training and education will also be created through these projects.

• Lambeth currently owns a collection of buildings that accommodate some of the Council’s Public Health facilities. • In the future, these buildings may no longer be required by the Council leading to opportunities for the redevelopment of the site.
