Imperial Corporate Capital PLC has applied for an extension to its Nightingale Grove development in Hither Green.
In August the scheme, which is situated within walking distance of Hither Green station and Lewisham High Street, received planning permission from the London Borough of Lewisham to incorporate 16 units.
ICC has now applied to expand this to 24 units as part of a new redesign.
The development is taking place on an otherwise vacant brownfield site adjacent to the railway line into London Bridge, Waterloo and Charing Cross.
"Located in the attractive district of Hither Green and a stone’s throw from the popular and affluent area of Greenwich Village, this development will undoubtedly be part of the solution to the rapid demand for property surrounding London," the company said.
