Results updated 31 Oct 2019

Why do we consult with residents?

We consult with residents about our proposals as part of our commitment to deliver new council homes.  We want residents to be included in choosing the best development option for the area.

The council began the consultation with a drop-in event which took place on 18 September 2016. Residents had the opportunity to meet the project team and comment on the initial proposals. From there the architects developed further the original proposals taking into account all the feedback which we received. Two further public meetings were also held to amend the designs taking into account residents’ views..

 

The consultation boards (here) are what were presented to residents at our drop-in event on 21 May, 2019.

 

What happens next

Our architects will take into account any further feedback received, and finalise the designs to submit the planning application in September 2019.

Overview

Southwark Council has made the ambitious commitment to build 11,000 new council homes by 2043, with the first 2,500 to be 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 Tissington Court as shown in the maps below.

Please come along to our drop-in session - see details here.

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
