This project dates from 2003-2010 and consists of distinct project phases relating to the scheme to redevelop land north and south of Royal Street close to St Thomas' Hospital proposed by the Terry Farrell Partnership. This involved designing a series of residential towers on derelict land. Lambeth Council originally rejected the designed proposals for Founder's Place in 2006. The original rejection focused on listed buildings within the proposed project area and the status of some protected trees, along with the availability of sunlight for existing residents, and some objections from local community groups. After a public inquiry the scheme was approved in 2007. The scheme was designed to provide a range of affordable and private housing and health facilities. This included key worker accommodation and accommodation for families of sick children being treated at the Evelina Children's Hospital. A scaled down application focusing on Canterbury House and Ronald McDonald House was submitted in 2009. However, in 2010 Guy's and St Thomas' Charity conducted a financial and general risk appraisal and withdrew support for the scheme.

Material contains project codes FOUND2 or FOUND3 and relates to earlier or later project application submissions.
