Update in plans to replace Bexley derelict hospital with residential development
Briefly

Bexley Council has updated its planning application for the redevelopment of the former Bexley Maternity Hospital on Erith Road, increasing the number of proposed homes from 117 to 121. The new plan features a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, including affordable and wheelchair-accessible units. The design retains the original 1937 hospital facade, adding three modern six-storey blocks while preserving the site's natural landscape. Changes also include traffic adjustments to protect the surrounding woodland, aligning with local planning goals. These revisions reflect a commitment to balancing housing needs and historical preservation.
The revised planning application submitted by Bexley Council for the former Bexley Maternity Hospital site now proposes 121 homes, an increase from the initial 117 units.
New design plans include preserving the 1937 neo-Georgian hospital facade while introducing three six-storey tower blocks and enhancing accessibility with more affordable housing options.
