Simply Planning secures planning permission for a 5-Bedroom family home in Peckham, London

Simply Planning Limited are pleased to announce that we have recently secured planning permission for a new 5-bedroom, 4-storey family home in Peckham, South London. This project presented a complex application process, being located on a highly constrained site to the rear of Rye Lane.

The existing warehouse fell partly within a conservation area and had an extensive history of educational and community uses, including  recent use as a place of worship. This meant that alongside design and affordable housing, a justification for the loss of the existing community space was a key issue which required a strategic approach.

Despite Southwark’s adopted policy, our expert planning team was able to argue against the need for an affordable housing contribution or a Late Stage Review. By overcoming these constraints and together with objections from neighbouring residents, a decision was approved on a delegated basis.

With planning permission now secured, construction of this high-quality family home is set to begin later this year. Simply Planning, specialises in navigating complex planning applications, and delivering successful results for our clients.
