Lambeth council has decided to renew an estate by completely demolishing and rebuilding it.
The Cressingham Gardens Estate in Tulse Hill will be razed to the ground and new homes built in its place, with the benefit that the number of dwellings will rise from the current 306 to 464.
Work on the project will create construction jobs as well as leading to new homes, but the idea of demolishing the estate has proved controversial.
The vote had to be re-run after the council was found to have acted unlawfully when originally deciding to rebuild the estate in June last year.
Cabinet member for housing Matthew Bennett said: "The proposal would provide a new home for each tenant, at council rent levels, with a lifetime tenancy and enough rooms to meet their needs."
He added that 47 per cent of the new homes would be classed as affordable, while there will be 75 more dwellings for rent by those on the waiting list and 27 more family-sized council houses.
Tulse Hill lies in the south of the borough, well away from the sites by the Thames that form part of the Nine Elms development.
