According to the consultation, Hondo and Adjaye Associates are also ’considering the possibility’ of incorporating a hotel to the east of the Pope’s Road Development.
’This will look to accommodate the increased demand of visitors in Brixton as we aim to promote Brixton including its historic and vibrant market to the world,’ it says.
A spokesperson for Hondo said: ’[Next] to Brixton Village this offers a unique opportunity to extend the footprint of the market by opening it up on to Brixton Station Road, to create a more publicly accessible space for the benefit of existing traders and visitors. As Brixton becomes a growing business hub this will allow for additional commercial employment space above the new market.
‘These plans will celebrate the identity, history and culture of Brixton.’
