Developers have officially submitted a planning application for a new £1 billion development at the London Cancer Hub in Sutton.

The 1 million square foot project is expected to support 3,000 new jobs and add an estimated £1.2 billion per year to the UK economy.

Aviva Capital Partners and mixed-use developer Socius are behind the plans.

The site in Belmont is already home to The Royal Marsden and the Institute of Cancer Research.
