"Developer Landsec Lewisham Limited has applied for planning permission for the Lewisham Shopping Centre site, which could see the mall and the multi-storey car park demolished and replaced with tower blocks up to 35 storeys high. Lewisham Council's Strategic Development Committee has been recommended to give the plans the green light at a meeting on Thursday (October 16). Landsec has submitted a full planning application, as well as a hybrid and outline planning application respectively."
"Under its plans, Landsec intends to build a total of 1,744 new homes across the whole development, which would include 329 affordable' homes. The affordable housing would be split into 98 social rent homes and 231 homes which would be rented out at discounted market rates or would be for key workers. The remaining homes are all set to be private."
Landsec has applied to redevelop the Lewisham Shopping Centre site, proposing demolition of the 1970s mall and the multi-storey car park. The submission covers full, hybrid and outline applications across six phases over a ten-year delivery period, with tower blocks up to 35 storeys. The proposal comprises 1,744 homes including 329 affordable units (98 social rent and 231 discounted-market or key-worker homes), plus 661 student beds and a 23-storey co-living block of 445 homes. Demolition would also affect several nearby buildings while some High Street properties would be retained and Lewisham House converted to housing. Proposed new facilities include a redesigned shopping-centre entrance, a music venue, creative workspaces and the reinstatement of Model Market; public feedback recorded 784 responses with 637 in support and 105 objections.
