Consultation

Southwark Council will actively consult all residents that they considered affected but anyone can comment or object to these planning applications within 21 days from the date the site notice is posted on and around the site.

Another way to know if a planning application has been submitted for any of the site is to search the planning register.

Elephant and Castle Regeneration

The regeneration of Elephant and Castle is well under way and at this stage of the development process two key types of issues are effecting local and neighbouring communities:

the new developments at the proposals sites identified in the Southwark Plan to re-house residents displaced from Heygate and other estates in Elephant and Castle;
small businesses in and around the shopping centres are being effected by the possibility of having their activities disrupted in the medium term.

The regeneration at Elephant and Castle is a long-term and wide-reaching programme and the new housing developments are only a part of this. Much more is happening and will happen in the area. If you want to find out more you can visit the official Elephant and Castle Regeneration website.

Housing Sites Development

elephant and castle housing sites 15 sites in the Elephant and Castle area have been identified in the Southwark Plan as locations for new homes.

The council will develop the land on all 15 sites with a combination of affordable and private sale housing. 35% of each development will have to be affordable (of which 50% for social rented housing and 50% for intermediated or shared-ownership housing).

Southwark Council will not build any of these development directly and housing associations have been selected that will build and manage the new properties.

The affordable units will be offered to tenants of the Heygate Estate (which is being demolished as part of the plans) and the sale will be offered for on the housing market.

The Willowbrook Centre is currently advising on a number of planning cases and is able to continue to provide support to residents and groups which are feeling affected by the regeneration and redevelopment of Elephant and Castle.

The Willowbrook Centre is able to continue to provide support to residents and groups wishing to be involved.
