Lewisham is set to establish its first Travellers' site in 15 years at Pool Court in Catford, featuring seven pitches, including facilities for caravans.
The proposed site on overgrown land aims to replace the absence of a dedicated space for the Gypsy and Traveller community, which has been missing since 2009.
City Hall's London Plan outlines the necessity for councils to provide suitable housing for Gypsies and Travellers, reaffirming the importance of the Pool Court development.
A council consultation indicated strong community support; 74% of Travellers expressed excitement about the new homes proposed for the Pool Court site.
