Further to the correpondence sent to you in August 2021 informing you that Bonds Builders Ltd have been selected. We are happy to inform you that we have now signed a contract with this contractor.

August 2021

Taking into consideration residents’ feedback and working with a project group made up of local residents, we have developed proposals for the new housing development on Fenham Road Garages.

Planning permission for the development was granted back in October 2020 and the full planning application can be found on the council’s planning portal using reference: 20/AP/1720. You can also find information about the development proposal on our website:

https://consultations.southwark.gov.uk/housing-community-services-department-community-engagement-team/fenham-garages-pre-planning/

The new development, will provide five new council homes to be let at council rent levels. Half of these new council homes would be let in line with the council’s local lettings policy to existing local residents in housing need. The new homes would therefore be a fantastic opportunity for existing council tenants living on the area needing to move to a new home. The remaining homes would be let to households on Southwark’s housing register.

Overview

Southwark Council has made the ambitious commitment to build 11,000 new council homes by 2043, with the first 2,500 delivered by the end of 2022.

We currently have over 300 new homes either completed or under construction in the new homes programme and have been working with residents to identify sites where we could build new homes.

One of the sites where we are proposing to build new homes is the Garages on Fenham Road as shown in the image below. 

Why your views matter

To make our schemes a success we need to know what residents think and make sure residents shape our proposals. We think this is the key to the delivery of quality homes that also improve the local area and the lives of Southwark residents. We want to hear what you think about our proposal to build on this site. Your feedback is very important and will be used to develop our plans.

What happens next

About a month after the drop in we will set up a new homes project group made up of about nine local residents, including representatives of the local TRA. This group will work with the Council to develop a proposal for the site based on what we have been told so far at the drop in and through this survey.

We will present these proposals to local people at a second drop in and online before we finalise our plans for submission to the Planning Department for approval
