Barrats London - New Proposal - Bell Green Works.

Post by JGD »

Barrats London have announced their acquisition of the site they have called Bell Green Works.

The site previously included two gasholders, which were decommissioned and subsequently dismantled in 2020 by former landowner SGN.

They make no reference to the status of The Livesey Memorial Hall in their correspondence or website.

Barrats announce two imminent consultation meetings:
We are committed to working with the local community to help shape our plans, before submitting a planning application to the London Borough of Lewisham later in the year.

We will be holding two in-person consultation events over the coming weeks. During these events, members of the development team will take you through the emerging proposals and answer any questions you may have. There will also be opportunities to share your views, and we look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Both events will take place at Champion Hall Community Centre, 1 Holmshaw Close, SE26 4TH on Thursday 14th July, 3pm-7pm and Saturday 16th July, 1pm-4pm.

Following the first event, all of the information displayed, including a questionnaire will be made available on the website here.
Their website https://bellgreenworks.co.uk/ has very little detail.

There is no narrative about the scope of the proposals, quantity and mix of housing and provides one drawing highlighting only the boundary of the proposed works which embraces the former gas-holder site boundary and excludes The Livesey Memorial Hall and its environs.

Barrats have published their consultation material on their website. It is the same material presented at their public meetings conducted in the last week.

The presentation material published on their website is at https://bellgreenworks.co.uk/ and Barrat say:
A range of building heights is proposed with the tallest element at 12-storeys (including ground floor), stepping down to 5-storeys (including ground floor) at the north of the site.

This requires Lewisham Council as LPA to issue an amendment to the Draft Local Plan and for which Lewisham have launched a consultation to permit buildings of up to 22 storeys to be erected on parts of this site.

Furthermore,
We are proposing to deliver circa 260 homes (35% affordable housing), including homes for private sale, social rent and shared ownership. This includes a significant provision of three bed family homes for affordable rent, to cater for this specific local housing need.

Our aim is to create a genuinely mixed community with different tenure types. It is proposed that 70% of the affordable housing will be at social rent, with the remaining 30% as shared ownership.
