Springfield Hospital Phase 2b Planning Update

Springfield Hospital Phase 2b planning update: what Wandsworth application 2026/1191 says, where the Tooting site is, and how it fits into the wider 449-home scheme.

If you have been keeping an eye on the Springfield Hospital redevelopment in Tooting, Wandsworth's planning portal now shows a further update for Phase 2b. This post pulls out the main points from the public application page for 2026/1191 and explains how it connects to the wider 449-home scheme already referenced on the council record.


Quick Summary

  • Application number: 2026/1191
  • Site: Phase 2b Springfield Hospital, 61 Glenburnie Road, SW17 7DJ
  • Application type: Matters relating to a S106 Agreement
  • Decision shown on the portal: Approve No Conditions
  • Decision date shown: 11/05/2026

Based on the council entry, this looks like a notice of substantial implementation linked to an earlier planning permission, rather than a brand new full application for the whole redevelopment.

Where Is The Site?

The application page lists the site as Phase 2b Springfield Hospital, 61 Glenburnie Road, SW17 7DJ, at the southern end of the hospital site. The ward references on the page are Tooting Broadway and Wandsworth Common, so this is the sort of scheme that can show up under several local search terms.

What Does Application 2026/1191 Actually Cover?

The proposal wording on Wandsworth's planning portal refers to a notice of substantial implementation further to Schedule 5 Paragraph 1.1 of the S106 agreement pursuant to planning permission dated 19/11/2024, reference 2022/5288.

In simpler terms, the public wording suggests this is a later procedural step tied back to the earlier permission. It is not presented on the portal as the main planning consent for the entire Springfield Hospital Phase 2b redevelopment.

How It Fits Into The Wider Springfield Scheme

The same council page refers back to planning permission 2022/5288 and describes the wider scheme as demolition of existing healthcare buildings and construction of four apartment blocks ranging from three to five storeys, together with nine three-storey townhouses. The portal wording also refers to a total of 449 residential units, external amenity space, 48 car parking spaces, 817 cycle parking spaces, landscaping, public realm works, and new access routes.

So if you have been searching for Springfield Hospital redevelopment updates, that is the bigger project sitting behind this latest planning entry.

What Is The Current Status?

On the public planning page, the application status is shown as FINAL DECISION and the decision field is shown as Approve No Conditions dated 11/05/2026. The listed applicant is BDW Trading Limited and STEP Springfield Village Limited.

As with any local planning update, it is worth checking the council source directly before relying on a summary, especially when an application refers back to an earlier permission or legal agreement.

Why People May Be Searching For This

Search interest around projects like this usually comes from a mix of nearby residents, buyers, contractors, and people following major development activity in Tooting and the wider Wandsworth area. The aim here is simply to make the public planning entry easier to understand without adding speculation.

That also means avoiding guesses about completion dates, construction impact, future property values, or the outcome of later applications. Those points need their own source material.

What To Watch Next

If you want to keep following this site, the useful things to watch are future planning references tied to Springfield Hospital Phase 2b, any new reserved matters or discharge-related entries, and any document updates published through Wandsworth Council's planning system.
